Chapter 36

BlackPine Country, Cole's Mansion

A week had passed since Cherry Lin's confinement and Robert Krisnov's hospitalization. Evangeline found herself summoned by Marcos Cole. She expected it but not too soon. She was actually summoned just after Cherry Lin's explosive news of being locked in jail. But she was too busy and mentally exhausted to respond to their callings.

She already knew what it was. But after a week, she could no longer ignore their summons.

"We want to let you know that we will take Cherry Lin into our custody," Marcos said.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Marcos Cole's invincible overpowering air didn't lessen one bit. Instead, the intensity in his eyes was burning, burning with hatred.

Evangeline inwardly sighed. That was why she didn't want to deal with him. She knew what 'custody' meant in Cole's language.
