The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 141

Struggling to her feet, she barely had time to react before Evelyn grabbed a half-empty bottle of red wine from the table and dumped it over Sena's head.

"Ah!"

Sena collapsed back onto the floor, instinctively shielding her face with her hands. Her scream echoed in the private room. Evelyn moved so swiftly that no one had a chance to intervene. By the time the entire bottle was emptied over Sena, Brody finally snapped out of his daze and jumped to his feet to intervene.

"Go ahead. Try me," Evelyn challenged Brody, her eyes cold as ice. "I’ll cover the cost of the wine."

This crowd was nothing but trouble.

Brody furrowed his brows, taking in the chaos Evelyn had stirred up. "Evelyn, no wonder Charles doesn't fancy you."

"As if I care!" Evelyn shot back with a smirk.

"Evelyn, what are you doing?"

Charles had been smoking in the private room across the hall to calm his nerves. He had just managed to quell the irritation Evelyn's antics sparked in him. He'd sought out Charlie to keep Evelyn in check. But truth be told, he genuinely wanted to see Charlie too. Her amusement park drawing that Evelyn showed him at Oakwood Manor had struck a chord. Those images would sneak into his mind when he least expected it. He wanted to make up for the missed amusement park trip.

The commotion from the next room snapped Charles out of his thoughts when he heard Evelyn and Sena's names. Snuffing out his cigarette, he swung open the door and stepped into the fray.
