Evelyn Sherman's heart skipped as she stared at the scene before her. Before she could react, Chester Yale had already stepped in front of her, shielding her with his body.
"Your demands." Evelyn stared at Chester's back, suddenly appearing before her. He spoke coldly, his eyes fixed on Anna Rivers standing behind a group of men.
Evelyn followed his gaze and saw the Little Princess, cowering helplessly in the corner with her mouth gagged, her heart clenching in worry.
Her hands at her sides clenched into fists.
"Evelyn Sherman, you wretched woman! I want you to kneel down and kowtow a hundred times to me!" Anna Rivers pointed her finger at Evelyn as soon as she spotted them arriving.
Seeing her hesitate, Anna thought she was unwilling to comply and rushed to the corner, yanking up Molly and holding a dagger to the little girl's delicate face.
With the desperation of someone cornered, she yelled at Evelyn, "Kneel down quickly if you don't want her to die!"
