Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in
Chapter 213 Belated affection is worse than grass
"These are the marks left by Huo Wanqing when she cut my skin with a knife after she heard you accidentally calling my name."
Evelin felt the man’s rough fingertips gently stroke the deepest scars on her waist.
Every word she uttered made people gasp, but her tone was so calm that it made people's heart palpitate.
It was as if Evelyn was not talking about her own torture, but was simply narrating someone else's story.
"here…"
"do not talk…"
Garland interrupted Evelin's next words. His hands froze, but his strength tightened unconsciously.
His voice was so low and hoarse, as if it was about to be torn apart, that no one noticed the sobs in his voice.
"What are you afraid of?"
Evelyn turned back indifferently, her gaze at Garland as sharp as a knife.
Vincent silently picked up the shawl on the sofa and gently put it on her shoulders.
"Because you built the institute and it has always been under your protection?"
Evelyn's voice became increasingly cold and piercing, and every question she asked was so sharp that it made Garland feel tormented.
Every word was like a sharp blade, piercing into Garland's flesh.
"Or do you think you are also an accomplice in torturing me..."
"do not talk!"
Garland roared angrily, his mind was in a mess and his headache was splitting.
The pain and despair in those red eyes seemed to be about to overflow.
His mind kept replaying images of Evelyn being tortured day and night.
Bloody, cruel.
Evelyn, who was like a flower on the mountain top, was bound to the small experimental table and tortured by Huo Wanqing, who was under the protection of the Lan family and was becoming more and more successful.
For a moment, Garland felt as if he couldn't breathe. His heart was throbbing with spasms, and images flooded into his mind like a tide.
It impacted his sanity and gave him a splitting headache.
"Hurry up and take them away."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Vincent quickly whispered a reminder to Director Liu, who had been silent for a long time.
Evelyn had warned him long ago that if all the truth was revealed today, Garland would definitely not be able to control his emotions.
We can’t let Huo Wanqing die in Garland’s wrath.
Because Huo Wanqing seems to be inextricably linked to the matter they are investigating recently.
Moreover, judging from the information they have obtained so far, Huo Wanqing is still of great use to them.
Therefore, she must not die here.
"Yes, yes! Sir, I will take her back to the police station right away!"
Director Liu swallowed nervously and reacted instantly.
He nodded and bowed to Vincent, and then, while Garland was still not in the mood to embarrass them, he immediately signaled his men to restrain Huo Wanqing and walk out the door.
"You have no evidence, why are you detaining me?"
Huo Wanqing struggled hard, but how could a frail and sickly woman like her break free from the restraints of two men?
Even though she used up all her strength and fought back with her fists and feet, in the end she could only watch herself being handcuffed and escorted out of the Lan family's living room.
"Anzhi, Yingming, save me."
"I can't go to jail, you guys think of a solution!"
Seeing that Jin Yingming and Huo Anzhi were just watching coldly and had no desire to stop them, Huo Wanqing became more and more panicked.
"If you take action at this time, you will really harm her."
Huo Anzhi's unconscious steps betrayed him, and he still felt a little bit reluctant. He wanted to say something but stopped when he heard Jin Yingming's words "Jinghao".
Yes... Huo Wanqing has become so cruel, why should he still care about this family relationship?
It was obvious that his tolerance towards Huo Wanqing was the culprit that caused her to become so lawless today.
"All the evidence is backed up, Miss Huo, come back to the police station with us and enjoy it slowly."
As Director Liu's stern words fell, the sound of Huo Wanqing struggling and screaming gradually faded away.
Huo Anzhi finally looked at Jin Yingming apologetically, his eyes were empty.
The whole person seemed to have lost his soul and walked out with unsteady steps.
The farce came to an end, and Lanburg's living room fell into an eerie silence again.
The atmosphere was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.
"why did not you tell me?"
After a long while, Garland broke the silence with a deep voice.
Even though Evelyn could see that he seemed to feel guilty about herself, Garland couldn't help feeling a little lost after learning all this.
Obviously, there had never been any secrets between us in the past, and he would not hide such a big thing from me.
But now, Vincent knew, Jin Yingming knew, everyone knew, except Garland.
Evelyn couldn't think so much. She could see the disappointment and pain in Garland's eyes.
But he just thought that Garland felt that he failed to protect Huo Wanqing and was disappointed that she was taken away.
"You were protecting Huo Wanqing like that at the time. Would it be useful to tell you?"
Vincent smiled coldly and looked down at Garland, his tone full of blame and contempt.
As an outsider, he is always the one who can see through everything.
“Or, let me tell you, do you believe Evelyn?”
As if he had thought of something, Vincent added another sentence, and as he spoke, he glanced at Evelin out of the corner of his eye.
Evelyn disdained to argue with Garland about this, but he couldn't let the matter go.
Garland's heart skipped a beat, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Evelin just looking at him and sneering without saying a word.
There was a gleam of indifference and disdain in her eyes, that look of daring to pursue him, which showed that she had been extremely disappointed in him for a long time, which made Garland feel a chill down his spine.
An unspeakable pain welled up in his heart.
What on earth has caused their relationship to become so fragile that it can be shattered with just one blow?
Garland's silence was a tacit agreement to Evelyn.
You see, Garland's distrust of her was already known to everyone, and even he himself could not refute Vincent's question.
"Yiyi, I... will compensate you."
"I will love you well."
"I'm sorry for all the hurt you've suffered over the years..."
"Okay, it's all over."
Evelyn wrapped her shawl tightly around her body. She should have felt relieved and warm in her heart after listening to Garland's words of confession.
But she felt cold for no reason.
It turns out that after saying everything, you won’t feel relieved.
"Brother, belated affection is cheaper than grass."
Evelyn interrupted Garland with a faint smile.
