    Chapter 207 Captured


    Deborah was caught off guard and startled. She quickly lowered her gaze to take a look.


    Joseph spoke casually, not even looking at her, yet he gently held her hand in his palm.


    Although their hands were under the table, there were still so many people present.


    Deborah’s face turned slightly red, wanting to pull her hand away, but Joseph’s grip only tightened.


    Deborah felt awkward, but he acted as if nothing had happened, continuing the conversation as usual.


    Deborah couldn’t free her hand, so she just let him be, pretending to be calm and continuing to eat with


    one hand. Evelyn was eating melon up close, almost going crazy with delight.


    She had been secretly watching Deborah and Joseph all along, and when Joseph discreetly took


    Deborah’s hand, she immediately noticed.


    Evelyn’s face turned even redder with excitement than Deborah’s.


    She stealthily turned on her phone’s camera and reached under the table, attempting to take a sneaky


    photo. She wanted to stretch her hand out a bit further, to get a little closer, so she could take a clearer


    picture.


    With Adrian in between, he suddenly frowned and said, “Can you restrain yourself a bit? Why are you


    hitting me?” Evelyn was caught off guard and startled. Her body, already leaning to one side, suddenly


    lost its bnce and she lunged directly towards him.


    Adrian sat in the chair, unable to back away, and he couldn’t possibly push her to the ground either.


    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Evelyn threw herself into his arms, and the two of them almost


    fell to the ground together.


    Adrian reacted quickly, immediately reaching out to support the back of the chair, preventing it from


    falling over.


    steady herself on the table, but instead, she identally


    As Evelyn lunged forward, she instinctively reached out to knocked over a ss of wine in front of


    Adrian.


    The red wine spilled outpletely, drenching her coat entirely.


    The light-colored coat was stained with arge patch of dark red from the spilled wine, and Evelyn’s


    face turned beet


    red.


    Should she say it or not? As she hesitated, she found herself leaning on Adrian’s chest. She reached


    out to support herself, and noticed that this man seemed quite sturdy.


    Looking at the delicate skin, there’s actually muscle on the body.


    Adrian was wearing a ck shirt in the private room, where the air conditioning was turned on. Feeling


    a bit warm from the alcohol he had consumed, he took off his sweater and coat, leaving them outside.


    Evelyn touched something, realized what it was, and immediately stood up and moved away from him.


    The eyes of the crowd all turned this way in unison, staring in amazement.


    It was really unexpected that Evelyn was so bold and unrestrained.


    In front of arge crowd, not only did she throw herself into Adrian’s arms, but she also directly started


    touching


    him.


    There was not just the Moxley family here, but also outsiders present.


    Nora had a smile hidden in her eyes as she stepped in to help Evelyn, “Adrian, there are so many


    people here, mind your manners and don’t bully Eve.”


    Adrian protested, “Mom, she’s the one who pounced on me! How did it turn into me bullying her?”


    Nora said seriously, “I saw everything. What did you say something that scared Eve? It was because of


    that she lost. her bnce and fell towards you.”


    Joseph immediately joined in the excitement, his face showing sudden realization, “Oh, I see! I knew


    Evelyn wasn’t just some random person.”


    Donnaughed so hard that her face was full of wrinkles. “Adrian, this kid, just can’t hide his thoughts.


    Alright, alright, he’s just a young man, there’s nothing wrong with making a fuss. Let’s all continue


    eating.”


    Evelyn’s face turned red all the way to her ears, and everyone around her had an expression that said,


    “We all


    C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    understand.”


    Adrian wanted to exin, but no one was willing to listen to his excuses.


    After all, no matter what, Evelyn is a girl, and even if she’s open-minded, it’s unlikely that she would


    suddenly throw herself into his arms in public for no apparent reason.


    Adrian struggled to find the right words, quietly using Evelyn, “You’re not allowed to secretly take


    photos of me again. Do you have any idea how much a private photo of me is worth? If this continues,


    I’ll have mywyer sue you.”


    Upon touching his muscles, the slight hint of affection that Evelyn had just developed instantly vanished


    This man is genuinely suffering from severe paranoia.


    Evelyn ignored him, and Adrian thought that she was too embarrassed and guilty to speak after being


    caught


    red-handed.


    He snorted coldly, and Nora spoke to him again, “Adrian, I called the driver and asked him to bring a


    coat up for Eve.”


    Apany Eve downstairs to get her clothes, let her change ande back, then give the clothes to


    the driver for dry


    cleaning.


    Just now, that ss of red wine left arge stain on Evelyn’s coat.


    Reluctantly, Adrian got up and went out with Evelyn.


    Before leaving, Evelyn couldn’t help but take another nce at Deborah and Joseph.


    The two hands that had juste together were still holding each other under the table.


    She couldn’t bear it any longer and wanted to retake the shot.


    Adrian urged her impatiently, “Let’s go.”


    Evelyn had no choice but to follow him out, her mind filled with thoughts of loss and defeat.


    Deborah watched them leave, and when they returned, only Evelyn came in.


    Adrian probably got upset by something Evelyn said and left early, saying he had something to take


    care of.


    Evelyn sessfully sat next to Deborah and secretly snapped several intimate photos of Joseph and


    Deborah together.


    With a satisfied heart, she finished her meal.


    She pondered that after the New Year celebrations, when she returned to work in Oceanview City, she


    would use the photos to negotiate a better deal.


    Let those girls in thepany who are also fans of Deborah and Joseph pay a high price for it, which


    would be enough


    for her to make a fortune.


    Deborah didn’t know she was secretly photographed; all she knew was that on the way back, Evelyn


    couldn’t stop giggling.


    She wondered, could it be that Evelyn really had taken a liking to Adrian?


    This smile is a bit too infatuated.


    After the second day of the New Year passed, Deborah didn’t have any rtives left to visit.


    In the following days, she continued to stay at the Mu family’s home, apanying Alyssa, and their


    days were peaceful andfortable.


    Joseph had been out of sight for several days in a row, and it was unclear what he had been busy with.


    He just gave her a call every day, reminding her that the weather outside was cold, and to stay in


    Moxley Manor as much as possible, rather than wandering around outside.


    Deborah really didn’t go out much, staying indoors for several days in a row. At Moxley Manor, she


    either spent time ying with Alyssa or watched soap operas with Evelyn.


    It wasn’t until the tenth day of New Year that Joseph called her. With a rxed tone, he said that


    everything had been sessfully taken care of.


    He sent a news link to Deborah. When she clicked on it, she saw that Chandler had been arrested.


    Embezzlingpany funds, leakingpany secrets, and several other crimes.


    Now they are being detained at the police station, waiting for the legal process to take its course.


    Deborah looked surprised. “That fast?”


    Joseph responded, “Indeed, the evidence is irrefutable. Speaking of which, we should actually be


    grateful to Ashton for


    the evidence.”


    Deborah didn’t understand, “What does this have to do with him?”
