Chapter 422
Spoiled by the President
âOf course, the organization never lies. Besides, if a personâs heart is no longer in the organization, thereâs no use keeping them there.â
âVery well, I will do it.â
âGood. Evelyn, you never disappoint me. This time, I hope you wonât as well.â
Evelyn gave a humorless laugh.
Without another word, she hung up.
The night wind was blowing hard. Evelyn walked to the balcony and stared into the sea of city lights. Her eyelids drooped slightly.
After a while, she curled her lips and fished out the phone from the pocket.
Turning it on, she saw the phone number that just called her recently. A complicated glint flashed across her eyes.
âSeven, Iâm done with my business. Iâve sent someone to investigate the matter you asked me about, and I have some information. Is it convenient for you to meet-up with me right now?â
On the other end, when Nell heard Evelynâs request, she quickly agreed. âSure, where are you? Iâll come over right now.â
âIâll send you the address.â
âOkay.â
After hanging up, Evelynâs eyes flashed coldly. Her deft fingers typed and sent a text message.
When Nell and Gideon drove to the address sent by Evelyn, they realized that it was a luxurious hotel.
Nell followed Evelynâs instructions and took the elevator to the 48th floor.
As soon as they stepped out to the foyer, they found themselves at the rooftop garden. Instantly, they saw Evelyn seated on the couch.
She was surrounded by a group of men who were laughing and joking around. It looked like they were trying to get her drunk.
Nell frowned. She saw that Evelynâs expression was a little off, so she quickly ran over and pushed the men away. Sternly, she asked, âWhat are you doing?â
When the men saw Nell, they laughed. âOh, where did this girl come from? Sheâs quite a looker too!â
As they spoke, someone reached out their hand to touch Nellâs cheek.
However, his hand only managed to get halfway there when it was blocked by a large palm. Following that, there was an audible crack. The manâs wrist had just been snapped.
The man screamed and fell backwards. He shouted, âWhich bastard dared to touch me?â
The next moment, his knees were kicked from behind. His legs turned wobbly and he fell onto the floor in a kneel with a âthudâ.
Gideon Leith looked thunderous. âWatch your mouth!â
The man was at a loss. He raised his head to look at Gideon. Just one glance at Gideonâs attire was enough to tell him that this was not someone to trifle with. The man did not dare to say anything else. He cradled his injured arm and limped away.
Evelyn looked like she sobered up marginally. She smiled at Nell. âSeven, youâre here, come drink with me!â
Nell looked at the intoxicated state Evelyn was in and frowned deeply.
Gideon also could not help but furrow his forehead.
âDidnât she say that she has information to pass to us? Why did she get herself so drunk?â
Even Nell was confused.
However, Nell had not been in contact with the Dragon Regiment for a long time. Although Evelyn Brook used to be a good friend of hers, they had not been in contact for several years. Naturally, Nell did not know much about Evelynâs life.
Hence, she did not say anything. Softly, she said, âLetâs bring her back and talk later. This is not a good place to discuss such matters.â
Gideon nodded in agreement.
Nell stepped forward and snatched the wine glass out of Evelynâs hand. âDonât drink anymore, follow me!â
With that, Nell helped Evelyn up from the couch.
âNo, no, you have to drink with me! I havenât had enough.â
Evelyn murmured, reaching for her glass.
Nell ignored her protests and dragged her along.
Regardless, Nell was very petite, so it was very difficult for her to support Evelyn, who was in a drunken state.
Gideon could not bear to watch, so he stepped up to help her. âLet me.â
He took the drunken girl from Nell, and the two of them held Evelyn up as they made their way back.
Right there and then, in the blink of an eye, there was a bright flash.
The next moment, âthudâ, Gideon had been kicked two steps backward.
A spray of fresh blood sailed across the air. Before Gideon knew it, he was half-kneeling on the floor with a gasp.
Nell was literally shellshocked. She simply stood there and could not react.
Then, she saw Evelyn take out a dagger from goodness knows where, leap forward and stab him in the heart.
Nell felt her heart stop.
Her mouth fell agape as her body stood frozen in place. It was as if time stood still, and the world went completely silent.
Until...
The man let out a choked huff, vomited blood, and fell to the ground.
Finally, Nell reacted. With a shrill scream, she rushed towards him.
âGIDEON LEITH!â
The people nearby were alerted by her scream. When they looked over and saw a person lying on the ground covered in blood, everyoneâs faces paled and yelled in panic.
Chaos descended in the restaurant. Nell managed to get to Gideonâs side after a brief struggle. He had been stabbed twice in the chest, and blood was flowing freely.
She wanted to reach out to press down on the wound, but she did not know where to press. Crimson blood had already stained his entire chest, she could not see anything.
Nell raised her head to look at the assailant. Evelyn stood there with bright, clear eyes. There was no tinge of drunkenness.
Teardrops began to fall from Nellâs eyes. She stared at Evelyn with unveiled hatred.
Evelyn paled slightly but did not say anything.
This person, who was so familiar to her before, now seemed like a terrifying stranger.
âAmbulance. Please, someone, call an ambulance!â
A good Samaritan quickly helped them call an ambulance.
Nell hugged Gideon tightly in her arms, crying so hard she couldnât even make a sound.
A faint wisp of self-deprecation flashed in Evelynâs eyes, before she turned around.
Nobody stopped her. Nell could only watch as the assailant escaped among the crowd.
Nell held Gideon in a tight embrace and said in a trembling voice, âGideon Leith, you have to be okay. Open your eyes and look at me. You have to survive. Hold on, you must hold on.â
Endless fear surged from the bottom of her heart, like a giant hand holding on to her and dragging her into the deep abyss.
Nell had never felt so frightened before.
She was so frightened that she could not even pursue the assailant, so terrified that she did not even care why.
All she knew was that nothing must happen to him. He must not die!
Absolutely not.
Gideon closed his eyes, unable to speak. He could only grip her hand tightly.
That hand was like a lifeline to Nell. Her finger was being crushed by his hand, yet she did not feel any pain.
Nell held on to Gideon. Her mind was in a jumble. She thought about the reason they came to Country F, as well as the sudden phone call from Evelyn.

Please be okay, please.â
