Desires Die Hard

She Hasn't Recovered

The next morning, the day was breaking.

Evan and Hayden set off for Mount Nieder to visit Paula.

There was a village on Mount Nieder, which was a reserved cultural village. Paula was living there.

Evan and Hayden arrived there.

After a round of inquiries, they knew where Paula lived.

When they got there, nobody answered the doorbell.

Hayden guessed that Paula didn't want to see them, so he was thinking of asking for Mr. Welton's opinion.

He turned his head and saw Evan gazing at the door because he found some deep scratches and dried bloodstains on it.

As a former mercenary, Evan was sensitive to blood.

"The bloodstain seems fresh, which looks like it dripped last night.

"It's dark red in the middle and dull red on both sides."

After observation, Evan said with gravity, "Hayden, no need to knock. Just break in."Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hayden was puzzled, "It might not be appropriate, Mr. Welton."

He was afraid that it might be deemed as a forcible entry.

"Someone was ahead of us last night." Evan knitted his brows and said heavily.

"What?" Hayden was shocked by Evan's implication.

"Let's get in." Evan pushed the door open.

Hayden followed up. As expected, the yard was a bit messy with some scraps of paper on the ground and a white shirt in the hallway.

There was no one in the house.

Evan was right. They were late.

"Mr. Welton, is Paula missing for real?" After a round of searches, Hayden asked in a panic.

"Somebody took her away," Evan replied flatly.

It seemed like whoever took Paula away didn't want Evan to meet her.

Without much thinking, Evan knew who probably did it.

"Mr. Welton, should we call the police?" Hayden asked with sanity.

Evan gave it a thought for a few seconds. "Let's go back to Nordeny first."

He already knew who took Paula.

However, what was his real purpose? Did he think it could help him steal Anya?

"By the way, the joint venture design company I told you to investigate the other day, give Mrs. Welton the information about it bit by bit," Evan instructed.

Compared to being a snitch, it was better to let Anya find out the true color of Cohen on her own.

Hayden understood his meaning. "I will handle it, Mr. Welton."

...

In the office building of JK Couture in Nordeny.

Today was Cohen's first day to work in JK Couture. All unmarried female designers in JK went mad because they already heard of his reputation in the global fashion industry.

But they didn't have the chance to see him in person.

Unexpectedly, Anya could invite him over so that everyone was honored to meet him. They couldn't stop looking at him for even one second.

There is no lying about him.

He is handsome!

While everybody was looking at him in admiration, all Cohen could see was Anya.

And he knew that Evan wouldn't be back today.

He licked his lower lip and said to Anya, "Ms. Macmillan, it's only a few days away from the design contest. What do you have in mind?"

"Not too much for now, so I attempt to visit some art shows to draw some inspiration," Anya said frankly.

Recently, she hadn't had any good idea in her head.

It was probably because she just gave birth to a child and hadn't recovered.
