Evan was shaken up because of the sudden voice. She immediately pulled her shirt down.

"You..."

Seeing it was Evan, Avery was more relaxed. She leaned back towards the sink. She had no clue he would enter suddenly.

She said, "This is the ladies' room."

Evan wasn't threatened by it at all. He walked over and blocked her way.

When he approached her, he smelt the same milky scent.

Evan suddenly pulled Avery's shirt up.

Avery screamed. What the hell was going on? Why did Evan barge in and pulled her shirt up?

What was he trying to do?

Did Evan take the bait when she seduced him as the maid?

She made herself so ugly. How could he do it?

Avery pulled her shirt down. The more she thought about it, the madder she was. Evan was outrageous!

Evan suddenly touched her stomach, and his hands had thin callus.

Avery grabbed his hand, "Mr. Lautner, please show me some respect!"

Avery was really frightened about what he might do to her in this place.

"Didn't you try to seduce me this morning?"

"I have explained... It was an accident."

"To be fair, I accidentally pulled up your shirt."

Avery didn't know why he was persistent to pull up her shirt.

But Avery didn't have time to think more about it because Evan did it. He could see her waist and stomach.

Avery moved her hand, trying to cover it. But Evan grabbed her hand.

Evan looked at her stomach with a hot look. His look finally settled on the scar around her waist.

He said affirmatively, "You gave birth to kids."

"Why is that a surprise? I was married once."

"Hmm, I think so."

Evan didn't want to leave her alone. He would not have urges other women except Avery. His body could only remember hers. With contact, his primitive urges would be triggered.

Was it face change techniques or human skin mask?

Evan stares at Avery's face. His instinct couldn't be wrong. He was sure he would not have sex with women other than Avery.

He should hire investigators to find out if she was really in B Country.

Evan suddenly said, "Avery?"

Avery couldn't believe what she heard. Did he recognize her? But when and how?

She had made herself look so ugly...

Avery was fluttered, "You must mistake me as another woman."They met less than 2 hours ago. And Evan already recognized her?

Evan's look was interesting. It all came down to that he loved her more than she did. She didn't know his true identity after such a long time. But he recognized just by the way she smelt.

"Oh? Really?"

Evan didn't plan to expose her identity. He stared at Avery. So she would not let anybody control her. And no one would change her mind as long as it was something she was determined to do.

Evan got off, Avery. She moved to the door. When she touched it, she suddenly opened it and ran out. She didn't seem like a woman with waist injury.

Evan shook his head with a bitter smile. Avery came along too.

He couldn't help thinking that whether Avery did it for George Lautner or..."

Pop!

Gunshots were suddenly fired. Evan ran out immediately. He took Avery to fall on the ground. They rolled until they were at the edge of the wall in the hallway.

Evan got on top of her, "Don't move."

Avery listened to gunshots carefully. They should come from the dining room. So she couldn't hear them clearly.

After ten minutes or so, the gunshots ended, and there were approaching footsteps.

Tinder came over in a hurry, "Sir, are you okay?"He couldn't believe it when he saw Evan got on top of the ugly maid, protecting her with all he had.

When he took a second look, he really wished he didn't see it. Did Evan turn so strange because Avery hurt him so badly?

Or why was he interested in such an ugly maid?

When they were together, it was like Belle and Beast, only on this occasion, Belle was Evan, and Beast was the maid.

"Talk to me."

"As we suspected, there were ambushes outside. They should be killers going after us."

"Do you get them?"

"We get one."

"Torture him until I know who hired him."

"Yes, Sir."

"Wait," Evan said, "How's Princess Claudia?"

"She's frightened."

Evan waved hands at Tinder.

Then he looked at Avery and her waist. He said, "Follow me."

Then he walked out first.

Avery didn't know what he was doing. But she knew they were in a dangerous situation. She had to follow him.

Claudia stood in the corner of the dining room. Bodyguards form a chain to protect her.

They gave Evan a way for him to come through.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Okay? Do I look like I'm okay? They are after you, aren't they? I knew bad things would happen to me following you here."

Claudia bit her lips. She had cold sweats all over her forehead because of fear. She said, "It's too dangerous. I have to go back."

"We'll keep you safe."

Claudia shook her head, "No. This isn't gonna be the last of this thing. I don't know who you mess, and who wants to kill you."

"Why do you think they're after me?" Evan sneered, "Your Highness, you're here, and you should stay here. If you go back now, you won't be much safer."

Claudia has mentioned going back several times until now. She was a princess. She suffered a lot since she left her comfortable lives behind.

"I'll ask my father to fetch me."

Evan took out his phone and gave it to her, "Be my guest."

If Evan could get the president's help, they must have reached some understanding. Asking for Claudia's company to the desert must be one of them.

So Evan was confident the president would say no. And the president trusted Evan to let his daughter follow him.

"You!"

Claudia stopped. Her father asked her to follow Evan because he could make them rich. His investment projects in H Country took up half of all foreign investment projects. Even her father had to be nice to him.

"Fine, I will not go. But let's get the hell out of this place!"

No wonder no one was here. No one dared because it was too dangerous.

She wouldn't be so frightened if they were in the desert. She was familiar with it.

Evan had to remind her, "It was you who asked to stop for rest."

The more Claudia thought about it, the madder she was, "It was your driver who didn't know how to drive."She wouldn't have car sick without the bumps. She didn't know Tinder was making her mad on purpose by lowering falling stones.

"We can get out of here on one condition."

Claudia pouted.

Evan looked at Avery and said, "I want her."
