Chapter 743 Shot
The mercenaries showed no hesitation, but Evelyn reacted quickly and dodged in time.
However, it wasn't the end. There were many ruthless mercenaries. Evelyn knew that if she didn't come up with a plan immediately, she might die here today.
But what could Evelyn do?
Even though there were cars passing by, Evelyn didn't dare to ask for help. In such a situation, anyone got involved would only be brought into disaster. She didn't want to cause innocent people to die because of her.
The only solution Evelyn could think of was escaping as far as possible,
Fortunately, they were in the outskirts. She jumped over the roadside barrier and quickly ran towards the woods. With the trees as cover, at least she wouldn't be shot so easily.
"Ah!" A piercing pain hit her, and Evelyn almost lost her balance.
A bullet hit Evelyn's shoulder, and blood instantly flowed out. She looked back and felt a chill down her spine.
The mercenaries had already caught up. At this moment, she couldn't care about the pain and ran desperately into the depths of the woods.
At the same time, at Golombia Airport, Aidan came out of the airport and immediately called Evelyn.
But the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering, causing Aidan to frown.
"What's wrong? Can't get through?" Joshua was now standing beside him. He had thought they would see Evelyn as soon as they got off the plane, but things turned out differently.
Aidan's brow remained furrowed. He was worried that something had happened to Evelyn. Given Evelyn's personality, since she had promised to pick them up, she would definitely come and wouldn't be late.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Joshua said, "Why worry so much? It's probably just too noisy at the airport, and she didn't hear her phone. She might be waiting for us at the entrance right now."
"You have a point. Let's go out first," Aidan said, and without waiting for a response, he headed straight for the exit.
However, they didn't see Evelyn at the exit, and his phone call remained unanswered. At this point, not only was he worried, but even Joshua, who hadn't been too concerned, started to worry.
Almost instantly, Aidan called Blake.
In a hotel private room, Dermot was discussing business with a client when his phone rang. He frowned and saw that it was Evelyn calling.
"Dermot," Margaret whispered beside him, "focus on the business first."
She had seen that it was Evelyn calling, but precisely because of that, she didn't want Dermot to answer. She didn't care what Evelyn might say. If she called Dermot away, it would waste all her efforts.
She had put a lot of effort into arranging this dinner. The people at the table could help Dermot. If he offended them, he would have no chance of taking over the Doyle family.
Dermot understood the importance of this dinner, so he hung up the phone without answering and planned to call Evelyn back after the dinner. He had no idea that this call was actually an emergency call made when Evelyn's phone was violently knocked to the ground.
Evelyn had set the emergency contact as Dermot before, back when they had just started dating.
She hadn't expected that such a life-saving call would go unanswered by Dermot.
In the woods on the outskirts of Golombia, Evelyn had lost track of how long she had been running. She only felt pain.
Besides the gunshot wound on her shoulder, she had been shot twice more.
Luckily, those two shots weren't fatal, so Evelyn could still barely walk.
She looked down at her current miserable state and couldn't help but sigh.
