Chapter 142

Chapter 142
Dahlia casually brought up the incident from five years ago, knowing exactly the effect it would have. To Charles, Evelyn
drugging him to snatch him away from Dahlia was like a thorn in his heart. Not only did Evelyn do that, but she also forced Dahlia
and Sandy to flee the Dahlia's mention of the past was no accident. It was a calculated move to ignite Charles' anger. As long as
he was furious, the whole debacle of Sena and Michael drugging Evelyn could be swept under the rug. Evelyn would have to
grin and bear it, swallowing her pride. If Dahlia could see Evelyn squirm, it would give her a twisted sense of satisfaction.
country to endure hardship after hardship abroad. This wound still festered in Charles' heart, making him loathe Evelyn with
every fiber of his being.
Even though Dahlia secretly looked down on Sena, she kept up the pretense of supporting her. It wasn't just to thwart Evelyn's
plans but also because Sena, despite her foolishness, was a useful tool. This recent matchmaking mess with Michael didn't ruin
Evelyn, but it sure made Sena despise her even more. In Dahlia's hands, Sena was like a weapon, ready to strike Evelyn
whenever needed.
Evelyn scoffed, the sound dripping with sarcasm. So, Dahlia expected her to just shrug off everything that had happened? Was
she to pretend that Sena's attempt to drug and destroy her was nothing? It wasn't going to happen.
Dahlia knew how to push Charles' buttons and always looked for the chance to turn him against Evelyn. But Evelyn wasn't going
to let Dahlia win this round. "I'm okay because I managed to escape Michael's clutches. But what if I hadn't?" she asked, her
voice icy.
"It would've been better if you hadn't!" Sena shot back, unable to contain her jealousy. Evelyn's escape was like a glaring
spotlight on Sena's failure. Evelyn had escaped the drugging and all, while Sena, who hadn't even been drugged, couldn't get
away. That thought stabbed at Sena's sanity like a knife.
Fueled by rage, Sena stumbled to her feet and rushed at Evelyn, her true feelings spilling out. She wished Evelyn hadn't
escaped and had been the one to suffer Michael's assault instead of her! en novelxo
"Sena!" Dahlia tried to intervene, reaching out to stop her. But blinded by anger, Sena was beyond reasoning. Dahlia could only
watch as she confronted Evelyn.
Sena's eyes blazed with hatred as she faced Evelyn, her face twisted in a mask of fury. "Why did you have to escape, Evelyn?
Only a slut like you deserves a creep like Michael!"

"Slap!" Evelyn's hand cracked across Sena's cheek. "Watch your mouth, Sena!"
The slap was fierce, leaving a vivid mark on Sena's face. "You bitch, how dare you hit me!" Sena shrieked. Her hatred for Evelyn
reached a boiling point. She lashed out aiming to strike Evelyn back.
Maintaining her composure, Evelyn raised her hand to block Sena's attack, but she was a moment too late. A strong hand
gripped Sena's wrist tightly-it was Charles. His eyes were cold as ice as he said, "Sena!"
Sena froze, stunned by his intervention. In the silence that followed. "Slap!" Evelyn's hand met Sena's other cheek, leaving her
momentarily dazed by the blow.
