Chapter 180 So Fragile!
Evelyn stood by the window, seeing a shabby black car speeding through the night. It stopped outside the small cabin, and Rosen came out running toward the door. "Michael, Michael!"
He was obviously calling one of the kidnappers. Evelyn glanced back, and Michael's fearful expression confirmed it.
She smiled at him and looked down again. Rosen banged on the door, cursing, "Idiots! Open up! Do you still want the money?"
From his voice, she knew it was Rosen. It wasn't surprising he was involved, but it was bad news.
"Behave!" she said, pointing a blood-stained knife at the thugs. Then, she went to open the door. Since Rosen hired these kidnappers, she should greet him personally.
Hearing footsteps inside, Rosen shouted louder, "Michael, James, open up!" Evelyn oped the door. When it did, Rosen strode in. "Come on! What are you..."
Before he could finish, he saw her. His face changed, but before he could run, she kicked him in the chest.
He staggered back, knocking over tables and chairs, ending up on the floor.
"How...?" he couldn't believe it.
"I'm not dead yet, right?" Evelyn laughed, playing with the knife.
"Michael! Nathan! James!" Rosen called out, feeling uneasy. He struggled to get up and run.
"Miss them already? How about I send you to join them?" she said as he tried to run.
She didn't chase him, but hooked a chair with her foot and threw it. It hit Rosen in the back, making him spit blood and fall over.
"So fragile!" she approached him slowly, almost making him speechless.
Bending down, she looked at Rosen on the ground, "Tell me, how did you plan to deal with me?"
"I..." Rosen gasped, feeling like his insides were shattered. He had underestimated her. "Who are you really?"
He thought, 'She can't just be an ordinary perfumer! Even if she knew judo, she couldn't be this strong.'
"Can you even question me now?" she pressed harder on Rosen's back, her voice cold. "Tell me! What did you plan?"
"I..." Rosen gasped, spitting out blood. "I just wanted revenge, to mess with you, to play you to death!"
At this point, he had nothing to lose and blurted out his true intentions.
"Who ordered you?" she pressed harder. "Vivian? Liam? Someone else?"
If it were just Liam and Vivian, it 'd be fine. However, things would be complicated if it were someone else.
"No one; I just wanted to mess with you! Why are you so arrogant? Why can't you sleep with me? I can guarantee you in the perfumery world..."
Before he could finish, Evelyn kicked him again, making him spit more blood. "Scum!"
Rosen didn't deserve to be called a perfumer at all!
She wasn't done yet and kicked his back again. She remembered the police should be arriving soon.
When she opened the door for Rosen, she had called the police. Even without an exact address, a general location would suffice. These men wouldn't get away.
"Even if you can fight, do you think you can become a top perfumer?" Rosen lay back, giving up. "Let me tell you, this circle isn't as simple as you think. People from Vistalia like you are the lowest, the worst, and will never become top perfumers. You'll never make it!"
"Lowest?" Evelyn's voice was icy. She looked at his dirty face and down to his waist, feeling disgusted. She kicked him in the groin.
His face turned pale, clutching himself and rolling on the ground without a word.
"Disgusting!" Evelyn sensed something was wrong and instinctively rolled aside, narrowly avoiding bullets.
"Hurry up! Kill her. Don't let her escape!" Nathan's frantic voice rang out from upstairs.
Nathan had recovered. Evelyn hid behind the sofa, thinking, 'Time must be up.'
She hadn't practiced much in the past two years.
James was still tied up, but Nathan might've freed him.
"Come out! I'll kill you!" Nathan was almost insane.
Having been in the circle for so many years, he had faced failures but never such humiliation.
Rosen, struggling to get up, used a wooden board as a shield and laughed. "Woman, you're dead!"
Compared to them, Evelyn remained calm. Peering from the sofa's crevice, she glanced at the situation and said lightly, "Someone's definitely dead, but that's you!"
Then, a dagger appeared, slicing through the air.
