Chapter 1107: Just a Little Lesson for Her
"You are Evelyn?" Mary snapped, her voice dripping with venom.
Evelyn just stared back, her wrist throbbing so bad she couldn't even muster a word.
Mary, not satisfied, stomped harder on Evelyn's wrist. Only when she saw Evelyn's face twist in pain did she finally let up.
She squatted down, lifting Evelyn's chin. "This is it? I thought the chick Joshua liked would be way hotter."
Mary thought she was way better looking.
"But maybe Joshua's into your vibe," Mary said, pulling a small dagger from her bag and tracing it along Evelyn's face. "If I carve a few lines on your face, Joshua probably won't dig you anymore."
Nobody likes ugly, and Mary was sure Joshua was no different.
If that was the case, she'd make Evelyn ugly so no one would want her.
Evelyn wanted to fight back, but she was too weak. She could only glare at Mary, burning her face into memory.
Just as Mary was about to cut her, the dungeon door swung open, and Brandon stormed in. He saw what Mary was up to and rushed to stop her. "Mary, what the hell are you doing?"
He got there just in time; a second later, and Evelyn would've been scarred for life.
"What do you think? Just giving her a little lesson," Mary stood up, looking at Evelyn like she was trash.
Mary snorted, "Joshua got hurt bad 'cause of her, and you still wanna help her?"
Brandon glared at her, annoyed. "Mr. Garcia likes her. If you mess with her, Mr. Garcia won't let you off easy."
Mary was a bit scared by that, but she still stubbornly said, "Joshua got shot 'cause of her. You think he still likes Evelyn?"
"Can you really read Mr. Garcia's mind?" Brandon rolled his eyes and waved her off. "Move aside, Mr. Garcia wants to see her."
"Joshua's awake?" Mary was thrilled. She bolted out of the dungeon to see Joshua.
Brandon glanced at the now weak and powerless Evelyn and said coldly, "Don't try anything funny. If you're smart, you know what to do."
"You're on our turf now. If you wanna live, don't piss off Mr. Garcia." Brandon warned again.
He wasn't worried about Evelyn; he was worried about Joshua.
Joshua had just woken up and wasn't fully recovered. If Evelyn pissed him off now, Joshua would definitely get upset, which wouldn't be good for his recovery.
Evelyn didn't say a word, and it was unclear if she took Brandon's words to heart.
Afterward, Brandon called for someone to carry Evelyn out, feed her, bathe her, change her into new clothes, and only after she was all cleaned up did they take her to Joshua's room.
When they walked in, Mary was sitting by the bed, smiling as she peeled an apple for Joshua.
Seeing Brandon bring Evelyn in, Mary's face immediately darkened.
But with Joshua there, she didn't dare say anything.
"Mr. Garcia, Evelyn's here." On his own turf, Brandon didn't call her Ms. Kyte, 'cause Evelyn had no strength to resist now.
Hearing Evelyn's name, Joshua snapped out of his daze. Seeing Evelyn standing there, he couldn't hide the happiness in his eyes.
"Evelyn." Joshua beckoned her over, but Evelyn stood still.
Seeing Joshua again felt like a lifetime had passed for Evelyn.
She didn't move, so Brandon gave her a push. "Mr. Garcia, she's just freaked out about you. Even though you're up, she's still in shock."
