Leaving the cafe, Elysia felt depressed. Jimâs name kept popping up in her mind. She wondered what he had done to Evelyn, and why his cufflink was found in Evelynâs room.
Elysia frowned slightly, her grip tightening around the cufflink in her hand. She didnât want to believe it, but Jim was at ruthless man, not a good guy. She couldnât help but believe it.
She thought of someone who might be the key to the problem.
The driver working for the Evans family had been waiting outside. He opened the car door when he saw her come out, but she didnât move. He didnât know what happened to Elysia, and why she was standing there in a daze.
But he was just a driver. He didnât dare to ask what Elysia was thinking, let alone rush her.
If Elysia wanted to stand there until it got dark, he would have to wait for her. He couldnât complain.
Fortunately, Elysia finally reacted when he was thinking about it. When the driver looked up again, Elysia was standing before him. Her voice came. âGet in the car and take me to K.L.. Capital.â
The driver nodded quickly. Once Elysia got into the car, he helped her close the door and took the driverâs seat.
The car started, and somehow the driver felt that the atmosphere in the car was a bit cold.
He glanced at Elysia, who was sitting in the back seat, through the rearview mirror. From her expression, he couldnât figure out anything different from usual.
Noticing the driverâs gaze, Elysia looked up at him. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly averted his eyes, a chill down his back.
The driver thought, âMs. Evans found I looked at her. What if she complains to Mr. Evans and he fires me?â
âHow long have you worked for the Evans family?â Elysia asked.
The driverâs heart sank. He thought, âOh no. Ms. Evans must be angry!
Making up his mind, he suppressed his panic and said, âI came to the Evans residence when I was sixteen. Itâs been five years.â
âSixteen years old? Didnât you go to school?â Elysia demanded.
âIâm an orphan. Iâve never seen my family and had always been wandering the streets. Ms. Evans, I used to fight dogs for food,â
the driver said sheepishly.
As if he worried that she might misunderstand, he quickly added, âDonât worry, Ms. Evans. Iâm an orphan, but Iâm a good person.
Thatâs why Mr. Evans was willing to take me in.â
âYouâre right. Since my dad took you in, it means youâre a good person.â
Hearing this, the driver gave a simple and honest smile.
âWhatâs your name?â Elysia asked.
âMy name?â He was stunned for a moment before replying, âThey all call me Dan.â
âDan.â Elysia sized him up. He was in his early twenties with delicate features. She thought, âIf he hadnât been an an, or if he was lucky, perhaps he would be more than a driver. However, becoming a driver might be a blessing from heaven now.

Thatâs the way it has to be. No oneâs life is destined to be smooth. There will always be people who suffer more than us âDan, since you came to the Evans residence when you were sixteen, what do you know about Evelyn?â
Elysia thought. When he was sixteen, Evelyn was thirteen. In other words, Evelyn passed away the year after he arrived. He was eighteen that year.
âEvelyn?â Dan didnât understand why Elysia suddenly mentioned Evelyn. Confused, he answered honestly. âI donât know much, but other servants said that Evelyn was weak and often stayed in her room. She would occasionally bask in the courtyard.
âWhen I just arrived at the Evans residence, I was an introvert, so I rarely saw Evelyn. Even when I saw her, I didnât dare to look up at her.
Elysia understood. She never expected to get any useful information out of him. She just asked casually out of curiosity. since he was young and not sophisticated.
The car stopped in front of an office building as they spoke. Dan turned to look at her. âMs. Evans, here we are.â
âOkay,â Elysia said.
Elysia had hardly opened the car door when Dan stopped her again. âMs. Evans, a moment please.â
She looked at him suspiciously. Dan scratched the back of his head and said cautiously, âUm, Ms. Evans, you wonât tell Mr.
Evans about this, will you?â
âAbout what?â
âAbout me peeking at you through the rearview mirror earlier. I didnât mean to. I just saw that you were upset.â
Elysia was speechless. She felt that this driver seemed unintelligent.
âDonât worry. To make it clear, Elysia added, âI donât know anything about this, understand?â
âGot it.â
âWhat if it happens again?â
âHappens again?â he asked and then immediately promised, âIt will never happen again.â
Elysia thought, âHow come you know now? Your mind finally works? Forget it. I have some important things to do.
Getting out of the car, she entered the office building and went to the reception. She saw a girl and said, âI want to see your manager, Lindsey Evans. Could you please contact her for me?â
âHello, Miss. Do you have an appointment?â the girl asked.
âNot yet,â said Elysia.
âSorry, you canât see Ms. Evans without an appointment.â
âOkay, wait a minute. Iâll make an appointment now.â
The girl at the reception looked suspicious and thought, âShe must be joking. Ms. Evans has a lot of work to do. How could she make an appointment as she wishes?â
She looked at Elysia with amusement. Elysia dialed a number and said, âMs. Evans, Iâm here to see you, but the reception said I need to make an appointment first.â

Chapter 380 Then Elysia looked at the girl watching her significantly. âOkay, thank you, Ms. Evans.â
Elysia hung up the phone, and the playful expression on the girlâs face didnât fade in the slightest. She looked triumphant.
She was about to say something to send Elysia away when the phone on the desk rang. She picked it up with a confused look on her face. After hearing what Lindsey said to her, she looked at Elysia with shock in her eyes.
âOkay, Ms. Evans.â Then the girl hung up the phone. When she looked at Elysia again, her attitude had completely changed.
âMiss, you can go up now. Ms. Evans said that she was waiting for you upstairs.â
âThank you.â A wicked smile curved Elysiaâs lips, and she walked away.
The girl at the reception was dumbfounded. She thought, âThe woman is pretty, but she looks like a student. I never thought that Mr. Evans would make time to see her. I didnât offend her just now, I guess?â
She suddenly remembered the smile on Elysiaâs face before she left, feeling chills down her back. It was scary.
Elysia made her way to the office on the top floor and knocked on the glass door. Lindsey looked back at her, her face full of smiles. âElysia, come in.â
âLindsey.â Elysia smiled lightly. Lindsey glared at her. âWhy didnât you call me Lindsey just now?â
âJust now? I guess I was using your power to intimidate your employee.â
Lindseyâs smile faded. âDid my employee give you a hard time? Just tell me, and Iâll deal with it.â
