Chapter 540
Evangeline could not understand why David was so interested in the handkerchief, but she did not dwell on it. She casually handed it over,
“This was a gift from Ms. Morris. Is there something special about it?”
David took the handkerchief and unfolded it. In the middle of the white cloth, a silver needle gleamed, its image stark and clear,
A memory suddenly flashed through David’s mind, recalling the last message Celina had sent him.
‘Do you remember the gift I gave you when we first met?
‘I do. It was a silver needle
Celina had deliberately reminded him of this as he gazed at the handkerchief with the same silver needle design in Evangeline’s possession.
What did this imply? It was likely that Celina was trying to warn him!
The next target of the person behind all of this could very well be… Evangeline!
Realizing this, all the color drained from David’s face.
If he reported this to his boss, telling him that he suspected Evangeline might be in danger because of a handkerchief, would the president even believe him?
* “Ma’am, Mr. Gordon insisted I personally see you return to the villa. Please don’t make this difficult for me.
“Walter would be that considerate?” Evangeline snorted in disbelief, but she weighed the truth behind David’s words.
“Of course. After all, it’s not just the Gordon family’s grandchild you’re carrying.”
David handed the handkerchief back to her.
Evangeline took it with one hand and lightly touched her belly.
Well, she could not argue against that reason. Even if it were only for Mr. Gordon’s sake, Walter would make sure to protect the child she was carrying.
“Fine, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
The Maserati roared to life, turning around before heading back onto the road toward the Emerald of the
U Highlands.
David quickly followed.
This time, the tailing was blatant. There was no need for the previous caution, and even the driver drove with a bold arrogance.
After watching Evangeline safely enter the villa, David did not leave as they had agreed, Instead, he parked at the entrance of the villa complex and called Walter.

“Mr. Gordon, I need to report an urgent matter. Your wife might be in danger!”
David succinctly explained his suspicions to Walter. Immediately grasping the situation, Walter mobilized more personnel to secretly protect Evangeline. However, he could not resist asking, “Mr. Zimmer, what exactly is your relationship with Celina now?”
“She’s… a friend, I suppose?”
David had wanted to say ‘girlfriend‘, but remembering how bluntly Celina had rejected him, he did not dare
- to.
“A normal friend warrants such trust? A mere handkerchief, and you’re calling to report this to me?” Sensing the deeper implication in Walter’s words, David quickly surrendered. “Mr. Gordon, please stop teasing me. After all this time, if anyone in the company knows what I’ve been doing, surely you do?”
To win over her heart, David had practically lived at Sunny Glow Beauty Salon.
Walter ended the call and carefully analyzed David’s words.
If Celina’s hint was genuine, then whoever was behind this must be planning to harm Evangeline soon. However, the Gordon family had tight security at the villa, making it an impractical place to make a move. So, if they intended to hurt Evangeline, they would have to do it while she was outside the villa…
Evangeline was now focused on her pregnancy, being particularly cautious about going out. Where would they find the opportunity?
Staring at his phone, Walter pondered deeply, and then a realization hit him.
Her pregnancy!
