Chapter 152 Something's Wrong
In the supermarket, Evelyn, Aidan, and Dermot standing together attracted a lot of attention. Not only were they all handsome and beautiful, but they were also famous people.
Fortunately, the surveillance video from the hotel, which had been repaired, had been uploaded online. It clearly showed that Evelyn was knocked unconscious and taken to the room, effectively clearing her of suspicion.
Currently, the police have directed all their efforts towards tracking down the group of men who took her to the hotel, and it is believed that there will be results soon.
"Evelyn, what do you want to eat?" Aidan ignored the gazes of the people around them and looked at Evelyn by his side, as if his eyes could only hold her.
However, Evelyn didn't like being stared at like this. She took out a notepad from her bag.
"Cover up. I'll be fine. As long as you cook."
"Alright, I'll decide then," Aidan said.
“Sure." Evelyn nodded in agreement.
Dermot stood by silently, not offering any opinion. Aidan didn't ask him what he wanted to eat, and he didn't mind. He knew very well that Aidan didn't want to treat him to a meal.
But what did it matter if he knew? He wasn't going anywhere.
"Is your arm still hurting?" Evelyn suddenly turned to look at him, her lips pursed, her thoughts unknown.
Dermot shook his head, "No, I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
"Who told you I'm worried? I just don't want to owe you any favors." She disliked owing anyone favors, especially favors that were difficult to repay. She would rather be the one who got hurt.
Dermot smiled faintly, not bothered by her words. "Don't worry. I didn't ask for anything in return. It was my own choice. You don't have to feel burdened."
Evelyn thought to herself, that statement is already burden enough for me.
Oh well, she couldn't repay Dermot here and now. She decided she would visit Grandpa Doyle another day since they were family anyways. Treating Grandpa Doyle well would be equivalent to repaying Dermot's favor, right?
Dermot didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly, he furrowed his brows and scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze, sensing that something was amiss.
"What's wrong?" Evelyn noticed Dermot's unease and followed his gaze, but she didn't see anything unusual.
Dermot shook his head, not entirely certain. "It seems like someone is watching us, with malicious intent."
Evelyn immediately became serious. After what happened in the morning, she knew that there were plenty of people in this world with unclear intentions. She felt that even if she released the hotel video, it wouldn't be of any use against these people. They would probably think that even if she was knocked unconscious and brought into the room, it didn't prove Kenny's innocence.
"Where? I didn't notice anyone." Evelyn asked in a low voice.
Frowning, the man replied, "The person in red on the right, the two people in black behind them, and the two people in blue on the left, they all seem suspicious."
In fact, there were a few more people that Dermot found suspicious. But he wasn't certain and didn't want Evelyn to be afraid. He didn't mention them.
He sent a message to Todd asking him to bring some people over. Whatever, he decided to bring them all in for questioning. He didn't want what happened in the morning to start again.
If these people dared to pour boiling water earlier, now they might even dare to throw sulfuric acid. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Evelyn was still studying the people Dermot mentioned. She didn't feel their presence as strongly as Dermot did, only sensing that they were sneaking glances at her, It wasn't obvious, however, similar to how other people glanced at her.
But she was still cautious. She knew well that if Dermot felt something was wrong, there was a high probability that it was true.
