293:Tearing Down

A few hours ago…

The jet's engine roared before gradually quieting as the sleek aircraft touched down smoothly on the Luxembourg airstrip. Moments later, the doors opened, and Evan descended the steps with a calmness that belied the storm brewing within him.

His expression was hard, his eyes cold and unyielding as he approached the waiting convoy. As he strode down the steps, he activated his earpiece and called upon Aurora for confirmation. 

"Aurora," he began, his voice sharp, "get me in contact with this supposed father-in-law of mine. I want an appointment with him." 

Aurora's tone was tinged with a sly amusement as she responded. [Are you planning to visit your in-law or stage a raid on Miss Suri's father's house, sir?] 

Evan's lips barely twitched. "It's the same thing. If he can't even protect his own daughter's reputation while claiming to love her, there's no reason for that house to exist."
