The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1740

He was dressed in a white suit, with half of his face wearing a silver mask. The other half of his face looked like Zion's, but in Evangeline's eyes, except for Zion, other men were no different from rubbish. "Why are you here?"

Evangeline's tone softened a little, but there was still a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

How could anyone enter her place at will?

The man looked at Evangeline with a slight smile and said, "What are you afraid of, Your Highness? Are you afraid that Zion will suddenly come back and see me?"

"Maximilian Bay, you'd better not let me hear the name Zion from you again, or I'll kill you!"

Evangeline's face was serious, and she even exuded a murderous aura.

Maximilian knew that she was not joking, so he stopped smiling.

"The princess is very protective of him, but is he really worth it?"

"It's none of your business! If you have something to say, just say it. If you have anything to say, get out of here!"

Evangeline's rudeness stunned Maximilian again.

Was this the legendary dignified and polite, virtuous princess?

Only the guards remained silent. They knew that Evangeline that behaved this way was real. In the past, the gentle lady in front of outsiders was just Evangeline's disguise.

Seeing that Maximilian was still in a daze, Evangeline stepped forward and threw him out.

Maximilian finally reacted. He turned around in the air and stood steadily on the ground, but he did not make a fool of himself.

It was the first time that he had seen Evangeline's skills. He was a little surprised and stunned, but he didn't say anything nonsense. He whispered, "Master asked me to come over and ask you, how is your decision?"

"1 still need sometime."

Evangeline frowned tightly and looked very conflicted.

Maximilian sneered and said, "Your Highness, you have been delayed for a long time. If you continue to drag on, Master will have no patience. If Zion knows that you went to the kidnapping site to..." With a "swoosh", a sharp scalpel came out of Evangeline's sleeve and brushed past Maximilian's cheek. A trace of blood slowly oozed out of his face.

Evangeline's face was as cold as ice and snow in winter, and her voice was as cold as an ice hole.

"I seem to have said just now that don't let me hear the name Zion from your mouth. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you? Or do you really think I'm afraid of your so-called master?"

At this time, Evangeline's momentum was overwhelming, which surprised Maximilian.

He never thought that Evangeline would be so protective of Zion. It didn't seem to be easy to do so.

"Well, I don't mention this name, but my master said that we can't delay any longer. Three days later, my master needs to know your exact information, otherwise..."

"Are you threatening me?"

Evangeline suddenly smiled.

She took out a scalpel from somewhere and played with it. There was a faint smile on her cold face, but it was frightening.

Maximilian didn't dare to say the word 'threatening'.

"Coward!"

Evangeline snorted and turned directly into the house. She said to her guards, "Without my permission, you cannot let strangers enter my house without notice. Go to the Commandment Hall to receive your punishment."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The guard was trembling with fear and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

It had been a long time since he had seen Evangeline like this.

Perhaps it was because Evangeline had put herself too low when she came to the Santell Capital to pursue Zion that the guard had forgotten about Evangeline's previous coldness and cruelty. At this time, with just a glance, the guard remembered the past and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Maximilian wanted to say something more, but he had no chance.

He could only leave the villa with the guards.

Evangeline was upset.

Originally, she had contacted Maximilian's master for Zion. Unexpectedly, she was framed by him that day and appeared at the kidnapping scene, causing Zion to make a mistake. This matter was something that Evangeline would never forgive in her heart.

She had wanted to confess to Zion, but she was afraid.

Once Zion knew what he had done, would their newly established relationship between a man and a woman continue?

She had been chasing him for more than 20 years, and it took her a lot of effort to achieve it. Now, she was only happy for a few days. She was reluctant to destroy it, nor did she want to destroy it. Leaning against the wall of the villa, Zion held his breath and listened to the conversation between Evangeline and Maximilian.

He took a meaningful look at Evangeline's room. He jumped over the wall and glided neatly before he jumped into the car quickly. Afterward, he followed Maximilian's car slowly.

Maximilian Bay!

This name sounded familiar, but Zion couldn't remember who this person was or how he had anything to do with Evangeline.

Moreover, Maximilian wanted to say something but stopped on second thought that Evangeline's appearance at the kidnapping scene seemed to have something to do with him. What exactly was going on? It had been more than 20 years since Zion and Evangeline had grown up together. He knew Evangeline's temper and character. If it was something that Evangeline didn't want to say, even her parents might not be able to pry open her mouth.

Rather than investigating the truth from Evangeline, it was better to follow this Maximilian.

Zion had received professional training, so he was very familiar with tracking.

Every time Maximilian felt that someone was following him, Zion could cleverly avoid it.

The car stopped in the city center.

Maximilian got out of the car and went straight into a commercial building.

There were a lot of people here and it was difficult to find any trace of them. This Maximilian was also a smart person.

Zion got out of the car and seemed to follow him in casually. However, he saw Maximilian go out from the back door of the company and get into a taxi again.

He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and stopped a taxi to follow them to the military hospital.

Zion frowned slightly.

What did he come to the military hospital for?

There was no time for Zion to think about it. He could only continue to follow, only to find that Maximilian had gone to Ivy's room.

Zion's frown deepened.

Did Ivy find something at the scene? Did Maximilian come hereto kill her?

Thinking of this possibility, Zion was a little worried.

No matter what, Ivy was the most innocent person in the whole thing. Because of her injury, she could not be a complete woman in this life. Once she lost her life because of him or something else, he would feel guilty.

Zion quickly entered the room next to Ivy's. He was about to climb over the balcony when he heard the noise inside and was slightly stunned.
