The Truth Behind the Elmhart Family
Victor crossed his arms.
"Your uncle came here to protect that idiot."
He pointed toward Simon with his chin.
"He and everyone else decided to interrupt me one after another."
Evelyne looked toward Simon.
Simon immediately lowered his head.
He had already been terrified of Victor.
Now he had discovered that Victor was Evelyne's master.
That realization only made things worse.
Evelyne's gaze became colder.
She did not need to ask many questions.
She could already tell that Simon had done something foolish.
Victor had never been someone who lost his temper without reason.
If he was this irritated, then the Valier heir had almost certainly crossed a line.
Kite noticed Evelyne's expression and felt his heart sink.
His niece was not going to blindly defend him.
More importantly, she clearly trusted Victor.
Kite slowly lowered his gaze.
He finally understood that the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.
