NovelGoldChapter 153 Even with Evelyn's usually good temper, she couldn't help but feel surprised and displeased by Brandon's remark.
She truly didn't understand why Brandon harbored such strong contempt toward her.
Evelyn didn't shy away. Calmly looking at him, she asked bluntly, "Have I offended you in the past, Mr. Connor?" Her gaze was frosty, yet her tone remained steady, without a trace of anger.
However, Brandon didn't take it as a sign of composure. In his eyes, Evelyn simply felt guilty and didn't dare confront him head-on. After all, he had personally witnessed her "seductive" behavior.
"No. You and I are not acquainted enough to speak of offenses," he replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvelyn furrowed her brows. Then, where did his baseless accusations cfrom? Even Sebastian's expression darkened slightly. He had always regarded Brandon as a capable figure-sharp in business, decisive in action, and supported by powerful elders. He had always admired him.
However, he did not expect that Brandon would look down on Evelyn like this..
"Then, why do you view her this way?" Sebastian frowned as he continued, "Treating a lady like this... Isn't it rather ungentlemanly?" Saying he was ungentlemanly was putting it lightly. He was simply insulting.
Seeing Sebastian's protective stance, Brandon couldn't help but frown. What did Evelyn have besides a pretty face? She even managed to charm someone like Sebastian into losing his sense of judgment.
"Don't be mad, Mr. Hill. Just treat what I said as a slip of the tongue. There's no need for it to harm our relationship.
He figured Sebastian wouldn't hold a grudge over a mere assistant. They were both businessmen with shared interests, so they knew what was most important.
With that in mind, Brandon patted Sebastian's shoulder and offered a bit of advice.
"Mr. Hill, everyone sees what you're capable of. Flying Seal Group is a place where so many talents would die to join. I think you should take a closer look at whether the people around you are truly fit for their roles and whether they deserve your trust." Women like Evelyn were never satisfied with the men they had. She had her hooks in Sebastian, yet she planned to make a move on Lucas. Brandon felt it necessary to give Sebastian a hint.
A woman like Tiffany-excellent, dignified, self-respecting-was the kind who deserved admiration and protection. Evelyn fell far short.
Sebastian furrowed his brows. He found the remark utterly absurd. However, Brandon didn't speak any further. Instead, he turned and left.
Sebastian was so angry and stunned that he laughed.
"What kind of sanctimonious bullshit was that?" he exclaimed. He never had a good temper to begin with. "Who gave him the right to make such baseless assumptions about you?" Evelyn furrowed her brows slightly. She couldn't make sense of it either.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had only met Brandon a few times in total, and they hadn't even been properly introduced. How had he already decided she was so unworthy? "Alright! I've made up my mind. From now on, we'll reject any collaboration proposals from Silux Technology!" Sebastian declared with a sneer.
Flying Seal Group had originally planned to deepen its partnership with Silux on an upcoming project, but it seemed there was no need to do so now.
Evelyn wasn't a masochist either. She had no interest in throwing herself at people who clearly didn't value her. The upcoming Flying Seal Group project was a government-backed initiative, so there wouldn't be any shortage of companies lining up to collaborate. Silux was never the only option.
Still, since she had already cto the product launch, Evelyn wasn't going to let
a misunderstanding affect her. She would continue doing what had to be done properly and not return En empty-handed. She continued to focus diligently on understanding the details of Silux Materials and jotted down skey data.
By the tthe event ended, Evelyn had finally learned that Lucas had left earlier with Tiffany. The reason was that they had called the police to deal with that obsessed fan. Lucas was determined to pursue the matter to the end.
Even though the man hadn't physically touched Tiffany, Lucas wouldn't tolerate her being even slightly frightened or wronged. According to several company executives, he was being completely serious this time.
