A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 408

That look in her eye made Matilda feel a bit disgusted. She wrinkled her nose, stepping back and tugging at Logan's hand, whispering, "Logan, let's get out of here."

Logan didn't say a word, just huffed and followed, but then Evie called out from behind them, "Matilda, you're not scared of me now, are you?"

Matilda froze in her steps.

An older man approached and stood beside Evie, wrapping an arm around her waist, "What's with the attitude, darling? Really now~"

"Oh, honey, I just don't want anyone looking down on us," Evie pouted and planted a kiss on the man's cheek. "If she looks down on me, it's like she's looking down on you, and I just can't stand the thought of anyone disrespecting you. It would make me so unhappy."

She had a way with words, making the older man beam with joy, handing her all the designer bags and cosmetics he had just bought, "You always know just what to say."

"Kurt, oh darling~~"

Kurt?

Matilda searched through her fragmented memories, trying to place the man before her. Was this Kurt?

A real estate mogul.

Seeing Matilda's expression, Kurt stepped forward, gazing at her smugly, "And who might this young lady be?"

"Don't you remember? She's the one from that supermarket hostage situation. Blood everywhere, tsk tsk..."

Evie clung to Kurt as if she wanted to fuse with him, and when she noticed Kurt's greedy gaze fixed on Matilda, she felt a mix of anger and amusement. She thought about knocking Matilda out and dumping her in this old man's bed. That would surely ruin her reputation!

But Matilda just looked at Kurt and Evie indifferently, as if they were putting on a performance, "Do you need something from me?"

Evie was taken aback.
