Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 103

After she finished speaking, she added with genuine admiration, "Director Whitmore's boyfriend is so handsome."

Glenn stopped in his tracks.

His smile froze.

Not long after Evangeline left Glenn's office, her phone rang. It was Soren.

"Come by the family house tonight."

Soren, as always, was blunt and to the point.

Unlike before, Evangeline didn't immediately agree. Instead, she asked, "Will Poppy be there?"

Soren paused for a split second before answering, "No, she has something to take care of tonight."

Which, judging by his tone, made it sound like she herself never had anything important going on.

But Evangeline didn't dwell on it. If Poppy wasn't around, Evangeline wouldn't refuse a chance to visit her grandmother at the family estate.

"Alright," she replied.

She expected Soren to hang up right away, as he usually did, but a couple of seconds passed and the line stayed open. It was as if he was waiting for something.

"Is there something else?" Evangeline prompted.

Soren hesitated, then his voice turned icy. "Ungrateful brat."

And with that, he slammed the phone down.

He sounded genuinely angry.

Evangeline was left feeling baffled.

Then, after a moment, the reason dawned on her. Could Soren have found out that she was the one who made sure Fawkes Enterprises couldn't invest in UME?

That thought barely formed before she dismissed it.

No way.

Soren never paid attention to her whereabouts. He never cared where she went or what she did. Besides, if he really knew she'd joined UME and blocked his investment, he would have stormed over to confront her by now. He wouldn't just call and grumble a single insult.

Since it clearly wasn't about that, Evangeline let it go.

Eventually, Soren would find out. But as long as he didn't know yet, she could still take advantage of the time she had.

After ending the call, Soren grew increasingly irritated for no reason. He could let things go before, but last night he'd done her a huge favor, even looked after her for almost the entire night.

Alison Whitmore?

Was that the man he'd seen by her side before?

Was their relationship really that close? Close enough that she would murmur his name in her dreams?

The more Soren thought about it, the angrier he got. He pulled out his phone and dialed Gregory. "What's the status on what I asked you to look into?"

Gregory was still groggy when he answered.

Not long ago, Soren had asked him to investigate the man around Evangeline. He'd even provided a name.

But after digging deeper, Gregory realized something wasn't right.

"Mr. Fawkes, the man who had dinner with Mrs. Fawkes that day—his last name isn't Whitmore."

"Not Whitmore?"

So there was more than one man around her?

That only made Soren angrier.

Gregory continued, "His name is Glenn Carlisle."
