Hearing his explanation about the assassin woman, Eva felt that she might have really stumbled upon something valuable, and her curiosity was piqued. So, with a gleam in her eyes, she looked at the assassin, who was struggling to stand on her own, and said.

    "Ooh, to that extent?"

    Christian, not minding Eva''s expression, which now showed curiosity, simply answered,

    "Yes." Then, while scrutinizing the assassin''s face, he added,

    "Most importantly, how were you able to find that she''s beautiful with that bruised face and disheveled hair in the first place?"

    Eva, smiling charmingly, simply replied,

    "Isn''t it obvious?"

    Feeling like she was deliberately trying to be mysterious, Christian, with a deadpan expression, said,

    "For me, it''s not, and that''s why I asked."

    He then walked toward the assassin woman, supported and restricted by Sophia, and looked at her face. Feeling genuinely curious, he extended his hand, and holding her chin, turned her face to either side, but in the end, he couldn''t get that feeling Eva talked about.

    "What do you think you''re doing?"

    Interrupted by Eva''s voice, he let go of her chin and turned his head toward her, only to find that she was glaring at him, half-jokingly, but also half-seriously.

    So, feeling that maybe he had done something wrong, he answered innocently,

    "Observing?"

    "To a young woman? And rudely like that?"

    Hearing her reprimand as she continued lecturing, where it turned out that the identity of being a woman came first, even before being an assassin.

    "More importantly, we should take care of the assassin now, right?"

    Christian, catching the displeasure in Eva''s expression despite her attempt to hide it because of her maid, simply nodded in the end. He felt that she probably had her own reasons and didn''t want to snap at her maid in front of him. While it was a move he didn''t like, as it suggested some reservation between them, he decided to address it later and just nodded for now.

    Seeing Christian nod in agreement, Eva felt relieved that he didn''t say anything more and responded.

    "Well, then, I will get going."

    Christian, holding Eva''s hand, stared at her for a moment before finally saying,

    "I will be waiting for you tomorrow morning."

    After nodding to him, Eva finally left with the maid, the assassin woman, and the damaged car.

    Once they had covered some distance, Eva opened her mouth, her anger barely contained, and in a cold voice devoid of warmth, she said.

    "What do you think you keep doing lately, even with my orders?"

    And Sophia, in the face of that, seemingly finally bursting with frustration, spoke in a voice slightly louder than usual, the calm demeanor she always maintained breaking due to her growing concerns.

    "In just three days, he''s already been visited by two assassins. Does the miss really think he can keep coming out of these situations unscathed?"

    "How much longer can he endure, in the first place?"

    "Most importantly, with young miss Olivia now attending the Academy, and with her talent, do you really need to place all your hopes on a kid who has nothing but some measly abilities?"

    "I don''t think so."

    "So, seeing him up close, when he casually asked about your most expensive car, the one you put so much effort into, as if it were spare change, I couldn''t help but entertain the thought that maybe I should just get rid of him myself. To establish a clear line between him and us, so no trouble will come our way later."

    While Eva felt like she was on the verge of exploding at any moment, listening to Sophia''s words, she managed to endure, though rage bubbled fiercely inside her heart, nonetheless.
