"Evangeline and I need to talk. You're excused."

Walter's grip was unyielding, and Evangeline could not resist as he dragged her away from the garden.

Back in Evangeline's room, Walter slammed the door with a bang and spun around to see Evangeline in her evening gown, his expression darkening.

He pointed accusingly at the blue diamond on her dress and growled a warning, "So, are you going to take that off, or do I have to do it for you?"

His words sent a shiver down Evangeline's spine, reviving unpleasant memories.

Remembering Walter's past roughness, she held onto her dress for dear life.

The party was still in full swing, and Evangeline had to make a round of personal thank-yous to the guests soon. "You need to get your mind out of the gutter, Walter!" she snapped.

She had thought the stern warmings from the uncles at the party would have put him on alert, but it looked like they did not faze him one bit. How else could he be so bold as to ask her to strip down in the middle of the day? Evangeline was baffled. How could Walter be so obsessed with getting her out of the dress Alex had sent? Did it infuriate him that much?

All Walter wanted was for her to ditch that annoying dress immediately. If she was not up for it, he was more than willing to help-whether she liked it or not.

Sure enough, he did help. In one swift move, her dress was torn, and her pale, delicate skin was suddenly out in the open.

The fancy dress from Alex was now just a pile of tatters, and the blue diamond that had been sewn into it lay abandoned on the floor, its threads gone.

"Walter, you jerk!" Evangeline clutched what was left of her dress, barely covering up.

Walter just chuckled darkly and tossed her onto the bed. "Can't you come up with something new? I'm so over those insults," he taunted.

Evangeline was speechless, her anger boiling over. How could someone be so utterly shameless? Instead of feeling sorry, he had the nerve to criticize her for not being creative with her insults?

While she was seething, Walter coolly picked up the phone. "David, bring the stuff to the first room on the left, third floor of the main villa."

That room, the princess room, was Evangeline's own little sanctuary.

Evangeline was burning with curiosity. What was Walter up to? What surprise had he seat David to deliver?

Jt could not be some kind of aphrodisiac, could it? The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

With Walter's fury, there was no chance she would be leaving her bed tonight.

This was beyond frustrating!

However, Evangeline's fighting spirit was kindling. She might not be able to take on Walter, but she had her uncles. Surely, once they realized Walter had them under his thumb, they would come to her rescue! So there they were, both wary and watchful in their standoff.

The tension was broken by a knock on the door.

David entered, carrying two boxes, one large and one small, and placed them by Evangeline's bedside as Walter directed. With his task done, David left.

Ignoring the smaller box, Walter opened the larger one and handed its contents to Evangeline.

Without thinking, she took it and looked.

A dress? Really?

Walter had tom her dress not out of some wild desire, but to have her wear the one he had

nicked out?

Evangeline's eyes widened in surprise, and Walter, catching her gaze, seemed a bit uneasy. To hide his discomfort, he growled, "Evangeline, if catch you wearing another man's gift again, tearing it up will be the least of your worries!" Chapter 184
