Mrs. Evans would never believe her.

Forget it.

Though she wanted to cooperate with the Evans family, she refused to do so under such humiliation.

Mrs. Evans turned to leave again.

Evelyn spoke once more.

"Wait."

Mrs. Evans looked back to see Evelyn walking toward Jason.

Jason panicked.

"What are you doing?"

Evelyn's voice was cold.

"The pendant you took from Jane yesterday.

Return it to me."

Jason instantly flustered, instinctively looking at Justin.

Justin Evans looked at Jason Evans in confusion, not understanding what was happening.

Jason Evans swallowed hard, his eyes shifting nervously.

"What thing? I haven't seen it!"

Evelyn Ross grabbed his collar, nearly lifting him off the ground.

Jason Evans immediately began shouting.

"Auntie, look! She's about to hit me! What about the Evans family's dignity!"

Mrs. Evans glared furiously.

Evelyn Ross didn't back down an inch.

Yesterday, when Jane Evans mentioned the pendant, she seemed hesitant to speak.

Clearly, that item was extremely important to her.

Given Jane's personality, she would never ask for help unless absolutely desperate.

The Evans family was now impoverished.

Jane had just started working and earned very little.

John Evans was sick and could only afford a small clinic.

She had to get that pendant back for Jane.

Evelyn looked directly at Mrs. Evans.

"That is my friend's personal property. Please return it."

Jason Evans gritted his teeth.

"What personal property? You're just here to extort us!"

Evelyn gave a cold laugh, her eyes falling on his bulging pants pocket.

"Are you sure you won't hand it over?"

Jason Evans grew nervous under her gaze and quickly changed his tune.

"Fine, I'll give it to you! Is that okay?"

Evelyn released her grip.

Jason Evans gasped for air.

"I don't have it on me. I'll send someone to bring it over after I go back."

Evelyn glanced at his hospital gown.

"I want to see the pendant by tonight. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Jason Evans's face turned pale.

Justin Evans was about to speak when Evelyn cut him off directly.

"Elders are speaking. Juniors should not interrupt."

Justin Evans's face flushed red with frustration.

Evelyn truly deserved the title of First Senior Sister.

Her status within the Cortez Sect was special.

The group left in dismay.

Xu Chiye was the first to rush over.

"Sister, First Senior Sister! You're actually my First Senior Sister! That's amazing! Let's spar!"

Cortez Kiki also stepped forward, her eyes shining.

"First Senior Sister, how did you train your martial arts? Your muscles aren't hard at all!"

Evelyn raised an eyebrow helplessly.

"Maybe... because I was lazy?"

Cortez Kiki was stunned.

Cortez Chujian glared.

"Don't listen to her nonsense! She endured great hardship to achieve this!"

Cortez Kiki was curious.

"What kind of hardship?"

Mr.Valentine also secretly pricked up his ears.

Cortez Chujian sighed.

"When I first met her, she refused to say anything. Later, I got to know the elderly people in the neighborhood. I took them to exercise every day..."

Evelyn interjected.

"It was square dancing."

Cortez Chujian's old face reddened.

Everyone looked at the sect leader in disbelief—a serious martial arts master actually went square dancing?

Evelyn couldn't help but laugh.

Back then, her master was bored and originally intended to teach the elderly martial arts.

Instead, he ended up being dragged into square dancing.

Just thinking about that scene was hilarious.

Cortez Chujian coughed twice.

"The point is not that!"

He continued.

"From the elderly, I heard she had a very difficult childhood. Her birth mother didn't breastfeed her. She often went hungry and cold, and had to do heavy labor. She was beaten frequently, covered in wounds, and even had her bones broken..."

Cortez Chujian's voice grew low.

"The worst part was, when she was three or four years old, she was deliberately abandoned to traffickers. When the police came to the door, that mother actually denied it!"

Cortez Kiki's eyes reddened.

"First Senior Sister, you suffered so much in the past."

Xu Chiye suddenly understood.

"No wonder she was deceived by that scumbag. It was because she lacked love..."

Evelyn facepalmed helplessly.

Her master had mixed up her experiences with Grace Nan's.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, let's disperse."

Cortez Chujian suddenly remembered something.

"Did we forget someone?"

They looked at each other and smiled, then slowly walked away.

Liu Ming, hiding in the crowd, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had finally paid the price for aiding and abetting in the past.
