Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 1027 - 1027 Devaluing oneself

Chapter 1027: Devaluing oneself Chapter 1027: Devaluing oneself Despite Evelyn Garcia’s fear of Earl Carter at that moment, she still summoned the courage to beg him for mercy, “Earl Carter, this matter was indeed my doing, and he’s only made this mistake because he was tempted by me. Could you please spare his life?”

In Evelyn Garcia’s eyes, Earl Carter’s gaze seemed to convey the message that he was going to kill the bodyguard at any moment.

Upon hearing Evelyn Garcia’s plea, Earl Carter felt his heart wrench in pain. This woman was still pleading for someone who had betrayed her, which infuriated him all the more. “Do you realize what you’re doing right now? It’s like someone is selling you out, and you’re even helping them count the money. You think you’re being grateful, but in reality, you’re courting disaster.”

“I…” Evelyn Garcia was a bit confused by his anger; she truly felt that although the bodyguard was detestable, his actions didn’t warrant death—especially since she indeed had her own intentions to get something from him, and he merely proposed a trade without forcing her.

“What ‘I’… What about you…” Earl Carter exclaimed angrily: “I thought this bodyguard was like a brother to me, but in fact, he was just a pawn arranged by Chloe Johnson to stay close to me. Do you not have any awareness? From the very beginning, this man approached you with bad intentions—the so-called deal was nothing but a trap.”

Earl Carter’s words not only left Evelyn Garcia speechless with surprise, but the bodyguard, who was pleading for his life, was also stunned.

How had he managed such secrecy, and how did Earl Carter discover it?

Now that he had been discovered, it meant either Earl Carter’s death or his own.

Taking advantage of Earl Carter’s momentary turn away from him, the bodyguard thoughtlessly lunged forward, intending to clamp down hard on his neck.

However, the moment the thought crossed his mind, as he was lunging forward,

Earl Carter drew a gun with lightning speed from the pocket of his clothing and, without even a glance, fired straight at him.

Immediately after, the sound of a body falling to the ground could be heard.

Evelyn Garcia was shocked to her core, collapsing and sitting down on the floor.

All this had happened so quickly.

Looking at the terrified Evelyn Garcia, Earl Carter’s heart was filled with pity.

What fault did Evelyn have? She was just a simple student; her knowledge came from teachers and textbooks; her friends were nothing more than sisters and classmates…

She had no idea that she was just a pawn in someone else’s plot, untouched by such corruption, naturally unaware of the dark and terrifying side of society.

After Earl Carter ordered the corpse of the bodyguard to be carried out, only Evelyn Garcia and himself remained in the room.

Looking at the still somewhat stunned Evelyn Garcia, Earl Carter crouched down and spoke to her in a gentle and soft voice, “I’ve just killed someone; are you so scared that you haven’t come back to your senses yet?”

Upon hearing Earl Carter’s words, Evelyn Garcia nodded her head vigorously, then shook it just as vigorously.

Earl Carter, puzzled, asked, “What does that mean, nodding and then shaking your head?”

She remained silent, not uttering a word.

Earl Carter didn’t press her, continuing to crouch beside her, waiting silently for her to speak her answer.

After a while, Evelyn Garcia finally whispered, “The way your gun kills is terrifying, but what’s even more terrifying is how stupid I am… how stupid I’ve been…”

Having spoken, Evelyn Garcia couldn’t control herself anymore and started to cry profusely…
