Chapter 507
Walter’s rage boiled over. His fists were clenched so tight that they could turn coal into diamonds, but he did not budge an inch.
David, who had just rushed to the scene, was clueless about the drama that had just played out. He only caught a glimpse of Evangeline whisking by and quickly asked, “Mr. Walter Gordon, I saw Mrs. Gordon take off. Are we still sending people after her?”
David, being the go–to guy with connections, recognized Hank in a heartbeat, unlike Walter.
