Chapter 282 Evelyn, Don't Go too Far
"Don't worry, I've made it this far not because of Dermot," Evelyn shrugs, indifferent.
Perhaps Craig is indeed ruthless and merciless, but for Evelyn, even without Dermot, she has the confidence not to lose to this man.
Seeing that she is unresponsive, Craig can only turn his gaze to Dermot, "You also have a stake in that factory, right? Are you really just going to give it to her for free?"
"I don't care," Dermot shrugs. Just when Craig is thinking about saying that he doesn't care either, he hears Dermot continue, "But you have to compensate for my losses. After all, this is your family's matter."
With a chuckle, Evelyn couldn't help but laugh.
She really didn't expect Dermot to be so cunning.
"What if I don't give in?" Craig grits his teeth, feeling like he must have committed some grave sin in his previous life to have met a friend like Dermot in this life.
"If you don't give in, I can only help Evey and do my best to send Phoebe to prison. It won't really affect me anyway," he smiles, completely unconcerned about Craig's anger.
Phoebe, who was pretending to sleep, opens her eyes, her heart breaking. " Dermot , how can you be like this..."
Although their relationship isn't particularly close, at least call him Aidan. Is it really necessary to be this heartless?
"You've provoked someone you shouldn't have. Paying the price is only natural," Dermot looks at her, his expression cold.
Before, he was relatively nice to her because of Craig's sister, but now, if it weren't for Craig's relationship, he could have just killed her directly without Evelyn's intervention.
Daring to hit Evelyn with a car?
Does he really think Dermot is easy to deal with?
Phoebe grits her teeth and dares not speak, silently lowering her head, waiting for Craig's decision.
No matter what decision he makes, Phoebe knows that she doesn't have a chance to resist.
Craig's mood at this moment is beyond terrible. He takes a deep breath, trying hard to control himself.
"Okay, the factory is yours," said Evelyn with a smile, her lips curling up delightfully. "I have one more request though."
"Evelyn, don't push it!" Craig exclaimed angrily.
"I want you to stop bothering Ruby from now on, and you're not allowed to lay a hand on anyone from the Kite family," Evelyn said, her smile fading as she looked at him.
Craig's face turned cold, much more serious than before. "Do you think you can get away with anything, Evelyn?"
"Not really. I just know that Ruby is my friend, and for a friend, I would do anything," she met his gaze without an ounce of fear.
The previously relaxed atmosphere suddenly tensed up. Craig looked at her for a while, then laughed. "Looks like we can't reach a compromise."
"Alright then, send Phoebe to prison. I won't interfere anymore," Evelyn said. He could sacrifice some benefits for Phoebe's safety, but not Ruby...
He would never let Ruby go, no matter what.
Evelyn didn't expect him to be so determined. At this moment, she didn't feel regret, but rather, her heart grew cold.
She never expected Craig would actually not let Ruby go!
"Evelyn, forget about it," Ruby spoke up, not wanting Evelyn and Craig to escalate their conflict.
Although their relationship wasn't great at the moment, with Dermot's interference, Craig wouldn't easily lay a hand on Evelyn.
But if things really got out of hand, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ruby was distressed by Craig's relentless pursuit, but she didn't want to involve Evelyn. "He can't do anything to me, don't worry."
"Ruby..." Evelyn worried.
"It's useless, he won't agree. Even if he does, you can't guarantee that he'll keep his word," Craig was someone who straddled both sides of the law, breaking promises was normal for him.
