It's no wonder that he didn't take Evelyn Steele's words seriously. This was clearly the Xi family's villa. This woman was wearing a high-end dress that was several years out of style. Did she really think she could blend into high society?
Didn't you know that high society star Evelyn Steele only wears new items of the season? If you wear out-of-season clothes like this, you will be ridiculed by others even if they are out of season for only one year, let alone three years, okay?
I don't know where this skirt came from, but it looks very shabby at first glance.
The man with the slicked-back hair suddenly changed the subject, "Are you here to see Matthew Steele? Why don't you just follow me? I'll buy you new clothes!"
He was grinning, his tone full of frivolous and self-righteous ridicule, and his other hand dishonestly reached out to hug Evelyn Steele's waist.
Tsk tsk, this woman's waist is so thin, it must be very exciting to play with her...
Evelyn Steele didn't expect this man to be so impolite and start a fight directly.
She quickly dodged to the side, her face turning cold: "Get out of here!"
The man with the slicked-back hair almost fell off the stairs because of his empty hands. His face changed immediately, "Don't be so shameless!"
Suddenly he shouted, "Come and catch the thief! There's a woman sneaking in here and stealing my things!"
Several boys near the gate who witnessed the whole process teased him: "What did they steal from you? Your heart? Don't slander others just because you can't pick up girls!"
The guy with the slicked-back hair couldn't hold back his face and insisted, "She stole my things. She just walked by me and I noticed that the bracelet I gave to Lila was missing."
Evelyn Steele ignored him and walked straight into the hall.
The servant came running in, shouting "Catch the thief".
There were about twenty people in the hall, all dressed in elegant clothes and drinking, and all their eyes were focused on Evelyn Steele who walked in.
"Who is this?" someone whispered. How brave of him to just barge in like that.
Evelyn Steele scanned the crowd and confirmed that they were all strangers.
Without further ado, he turned around and went upstairs again.
The servant, Ah Xiu, who followed him, was almost furious. He angrily stepped forward and grabbed Evelyn Steele's bag, "You are so ungrateful. How dare you barge into someone else's house..."
Others were also talking about it.
"Who brought this female companion here? Get rid of her quickly! Don't you know where this place is?"
"It seems like he ran in on his own. Could he be Mr. Huo's illegitimate fan? Oh my god, these illegitimate fans are too disgusting!"
"Hey, what's going on? Why haven't you kicked them out yet? Can't you call a few more people?"
Ah Xiu did not expect that the woman would dodge left and right, and her body looked quite agile. He actually let her run up the stairs leading to the second floor. His face immediately turned green.
The other servants also stepped forward and surrounded Evelyn Steele. "What's wrong with you? If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Why waste your time talking to her? Just throw her out!" someone said impatiently.
The men and women below were waiting to see Evelyn Steele make a fool of herself.
She actually dared to intrude into the Xi family's banquet without permission. No matter if this woman is a peripheral girl looking to hook up with rich men, or a stalker fan here to chase after a star, she is destined to be in trouble today.
Evelyn Steele grabbed the handrail of the stairs - her long-term illness was still too weak, and with so many people surrounding her, she really couldn't escape by force.
His cold eyes swept over the men and women downstairs.
Someone teased the man with the slicked back hair: "Logan Carter, didn't you say she stole your things? Let the Xi family hand her over to you later."
Logan Carter stared at Evelyn Steele's face and thought it was a good idea. After all, it was just a matter of saying a few words to Lila Carter. He was Lila Carter's cousin. Could these people dare to spoil his fun?
With a malicious tone, he said, "Okay, I'll search carefully later to see where she hid my bracelet."
Two or three boys seemed to have heard something funny and started laughing.
"Is it funny?" Evelyn Steele suddenly spoke, her voice clear and ethereal, light but with an inexplicable pressure, "Then get out and laugh to your heart's content."
The scene was silent for a moment. After all, they were just teenage boys and girls, and their tempers were soon aroused. A thief actually dared to be so arrogant. Who gave her the courage?
Someone is ready to teach Evelyn Steele a lesson.
Just at this moment.
"Evelyn Steele!" Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the air.
Evelyn Steele looked up and saw the old butler standing on the stairs with a tray in his hand. His cloudy eyes were instantly filled with tears.
The old housekeeper came down the stairs very quickly and walked in front of Evelyn Steele, still feeling uneasy: "Evelyn Steele, you, you are finally home!"
Evelyn Steele's eyes softened: "Uncle He, long time no see."
"Take care of these four people." The slender white hand pointed at Logan Carter and the three boys who had just laughed.
After a pause, he said, "I'm a little tired. I'm going upstairs to rest first."
The smell of red wine and various perfumes floating in the living room made her feel uncomfortable. Besides, she didn't sleep in the second half of the night, so she was really sleepy now.
Mr. Anderson smiled and nodded. Evelyn Steele was back and he had to inform the gentleman and the young master immediately!
"Butler, who is this?" Logan Carter didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from expressing his dissatisfaction. "She stole my bracelet! That was the one I gave to Lila!"
Besides, what does it mean to deal with them? Do you think they are just cats and dogs?
"Get out!" Mr. Anderson suddenly exploded.
Logan Carter was shocked that a servant dared to speak to him like that. "Are you senile? The bracelet I gave to Lila was stolen by her!"
He brought up Lila Carter to warn Mr. Anderson not to confuse the important with the trivial.
The most favored person in the Xi family now is Lila Carter. Everyone in the family dotes on her. If Lila Carter's things were stolen, wouldn't there be an uproar?
The old butler dared to let the person go like this. Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to explain to the Xi family father and son later?
"Steal? What the hell is stealing!" Mr. Anderson didn't buy it at all. He put his hands on his hips and glared, full of energy, "You slandered Evelyn Steele of the Xi family and said she stole your bracelet. How dare you? Where is the servant? Get him out now!"
Big, Evelyn Steele? Xi's Evelyn Steele! The three boys who had just joined in the fun were stunned.
Logan Carter's expression changed. "That consumptive woman? Isn't she dying?"
He is a dying man, why is he still so arrogant? Doesn't he know that all the things in this house will be left to his Lila in the future?
"You're the one who's about to die, get out of here, get out of here!" Mr. Anderson was really angry and his liver hurt.
The servant Ash was terrified, but when he saw that Logan Carter was so stubborn, he suddenly felt that he was saved. He quickly called the other servants to kick Logan Carter and the three boys out.
The men and women in the room were stunned.
"No, where did the Xi family get Evelyn Steele? Isn't Lila the adopted daughter of the Xi family?"
"I don't know. By the way, where's Lila?"
If Lila Carter knew that her cousin was kicked out by the servants like this, she would definitely not let it go!
