“Mr. Welton.” The assistant said anxiously. “I'll call the infirmary.”

Anya slowly recovered from the shock. She glanced over at Evan as her mind processed what she should do next. Although Evan had abused his authoritative rights a few times before, she shouldn't be so cold-hearted.

her this round.

Anya walked over to Evans after pondering. “Mr. Welton, thank you for helping me block the attack just now.”

“I have wet tissue here.” Anya pulled out a pack of wet tissue as she spoke and handed a piece to Evan.

Evan gave her a thoughtful look and took the wet tissue offered to him. Thankfully, the cut by the shattered glass was not too deep. Evan pressed the wet tissue against the wound until it stopped bleeding.

The young fan who attacked Evan earlier was being held down by the body guards who rushed over and he would be handed over to the police upon their arrival.

"What happened at JK this time?” Evan asked as he continued pressing the wet tissue against the back of his hand and then wiped off the remaining blood around the wound. His dark eyes drifted between Anya and Jake. Evan had guessed it had something to do with Lola Mars since the attacker mentioned her name several times during the outbreak and his angst was directed towards Anya. “Mr. Welton....I..."” Anya knew that she could not keep this under wrap from Evan for long. She frowned and pursed her lips as she intended to tell Evan the details of the incident.

Jake, who sensed that she was about to confess, suddenly spoke up and interrupted. He wanted to be the hero and took. on the blame upon himself. “Mr. Welton. This morning, the paparazzi caught wind of Ms. Lola Mars’ engagement and her wedding gown was also exposed to the public. That man was Ms. Mars's fan. He probably saw the news and waited at the parking area for an ambush on Anya."

"So, the person who leaked the news... was Anya?” Evan understood the situation upon Jake's explanation. His glance landed on Anya's nervous look.

Anya noticed Evan looking at herself and thought Evan believed that she had leaked the information. She hurriedly defended herself, “Mr. Welton, it wasn't me. I didn't leak the news to the paparazzi. I can swear by my words!"

"You don’t have to do that. I didn't say I don't trust you. What is the hurry?” Evan peered down at her. He said in a gentler tone, “JK is a brand under the Welton Group. Do you think I will brush this off?”

This incident could be blown out of proportions but it could also be contained easily. Evan was on good terms with Lola and she was also Dan's cousin. Evan could easily talk to Lola and settle the matter, but this would not restore Anya’s reputation if they chose not to investigate on the matter. It was either they choose not to investigate or they get to the bottom of it and find out who was behind all these. That way, Anya would be cleared of any speculations,

"..." Anya decided to keep quiet after the “lecture’ by Evan. She thought Evan would not bother himself with small matters like this as a CEO.

Jake noticed that Evan was concerned about this matter, But was he concerned because it might affect the Welton Group's

image as a whole or it was because of Anya? He recalled back on how Evan protected Anya earlier on. It dawned on Jake that Evan could be interested in Anya. Could it even be possible? From his understanding, with a billion-dollar net worth, there would be plenty of women around Evan. Surely, he would not fall easily for a simple lady like Anya? Anya was attractive but there would be better women out there. Jake shook the idea out of his head. Evan probably did what a man would do to help a woman in need.

Jake buried his suspicion shortly after and shelved the thought. He continued his conversation with Evan. “Mr. Welton, I also believe that Anya was not the one who leaked the news. No one in the right mind would do something that can cause harm to the company’s image and in turn affect her own future.”
