Although Theodore looks much thinner now, the man still couldn’t be his match.
Theodore easily kicked the man off of Evelyn. He clenched his bleeding hand into a fist. With a dark expression on his face, he quickly walked over and stepped on the man who was trying to get up.
The man let out a painful cry as he was stepped on, looking into Theodore’s eyes with a mixture of wariness and fear.
“Do you want money? I can give it to you.”
“You spared me.”
Upon hearing this, Theodore stomped his foot and looked at the man as if he were looking at a dead person.
“Money? Then I’ll give you money too.
“Buy you a life, do you agree?”
“Dare to touch Evelyn, do you not want to live.“”
The man finally realized that Theodore was definitely not an ordinary person. He realized who he had offended. The man quickly began to beg for mercy, crying and pleading with Theodore. But Theodore did not feel satisfied. All the frustration and grievances of this period of time were vented on the man.
Evelyn struggled to stand up unsteadily. She looked at the man who had been beaten almost speechless. There was only a sense of satisfaction in

her heart. But when she thought that she had been saved by Theodore, Evelyn felt a little complicated.

“It’s all my fault. I didn’t check my phone just now, so I didn’t know you were in danger.”
Marques looked up and down at Evelyn nervously several times. After confirming that she had no injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Theodore turned back and looked at the two people holding hands tightly, his eyes darkened instantly. With anger rising, Theodore quickly grabbed Marques by the collar.
“Since I couldn’t protect her, why did I still insist on occupying the position beside her.”
Marques was in the wrong this time. Long, fluttering eyelashes trembled for a moment, but she still didn’t say anything to refute him.
Evelyn couldn’t bear it and forcefully pushed Theodore away. She stood in front of Marques, choosing to shield him from Theodore’s incredulous
gaze.
“Do I really have to rely on others for protection?”
“What did you take me for, a commodity to be used and discarded?”
Theodore’s eyes reddened with injury, and he hesitated to speak.

“Evelyn, I didn’t mean it that way, I just thought he was too hypocritical.”
“This time I showed up in time, what about later, he simply can’t protect
you.”
Upon hearing this, Evelyn gave a cold smile and pointed to the man lying half–dead next to her.
“What, are you in a hurry to take credit for saving me now?”
“Give up, Theodore. I will not only not appreciate it, but I will not forgive you either.”

“Yes, Marques did not show up on time this time, but don’t forget, who exactly forced me to come here in the first place.”
These words completely shut Theodore up.
His lips trembled for a few moments, but he didn’t know what to say. His eyes were full of brokenness, and the bloodstains on his body were still fresh. This kind of brokenness seemed to soften anyone who looked at it. However, for Evelyn, he was already useless in this state.
Evelyn mustered up the courage to continue.
“I might as well make things clear with you.”
