Chapter 552

Alexander Vance noticed the change in Evelyn Ross's expression and immediately stepped forward, lowering his voice. "What's wrong?"

He took the phone from her hand.

Evelyn didn't stop him, only her jawline was tightly clenched.

After watching the video, Alexander's brow furrowed deeply, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his knuckles white from clenching his fist. He looked at Evelyn, his voice grave. "Choose Anthony Castillo."

He didn't want her to have regrets.

Besides, choosing Anthony didn't mean getting married immediately. They could stabilize the situation first.

Evelyn looked up at him. "And then?"

Alexander's voice was firm. "I will spare no effort to rescue your mother before your wedding. If I fail, you marry him. If I succeed, you come with me."

A warmth spread in Evelyn's heart.

She took a deep breath, seeing the look of grim determination on Alexander's face.

She had always known Alexander had some hidden forces behind him, but she wasn't clear on the specifics. His current demeanor clearly indicated he intended to use that power to save someone.

And exposing those forces might mean unpredictable consequences for him.

Evelyn suddenly spoke. "No need."

Alexander was taken aback.

Evelyn had already turned to face Elder Castillo. "I choose Alexander Vance."

Alexander was stunned.

Elder Castillo was also confused. "What did you say?"

Evelyn repeated. "I choose Alexander Vance."

Elder Castillo and Anthony both looked at her in disbelief. Even Nicole Sterling seemed slightly startled, not expecting her to decide so decisively.

Elder Castillo frowned and sighed heavily. "Very well."

Evelyn nodded, about to say something more, but Elder Castillo was already pointing towards the door. "Tomorrow, I will hold an engagement ceremony for Anthony and Nicole. Miss Sterling, there is no need for us to cooperate further. Please leave."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Evelyn knew further words were useless. She simply took Alexander's hand and turned to leave.

Alexander paused for a moment.

He wanted to say something, but ultimately followed Evelyn.

The two soon arrived at the parking lot. After getting in the car, Alexander asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Evelyn said slowly, "I am."

"Then you..."

"I have a way."

Alexander paused, glancing at her again. But Evelyn walked straight to the driver's seat and looked at him. "Get in."

She opened the car door.

Seeing this, Alexander walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in. "You... where are we going? Do you need me to drive? I might be faster."

"No need."

Evelyn directly fastened her seatbelt. "Ready?"

"Ready."

The next second, the car's engine roared, lurching forward, executing a sharp drift, and speeding away.

Alexander: ?

This speed was practically like street racing!

He turned to look at Evelyn.

He only knew she used to drive slowly because her blood was precious, fearing a car accident could lead to iron-deficiency anemia, so she was extra cautious. He never knew her driving skills could be this fast.

Alexander looked carefully at her expression again.

Her face was cold and stern, her eyes filled with rage, clearly extremely angry.

He wanted to say something. "Your mother..."

"If anything happens to my mom, I'll make the entire Sterling Family pay with their lives!"

Evelyn gritted her teeth as she said this.

Alexander was stunned.

For a moment, he saw an almost destructive aura on Evelyn's face.

He didn't speak further, watching as Evelyn drove all the way to New York Hospital.

The car screeched to a halt in the parking lot. Evelyn pushed the door open, got out, and strode towards the building.

Alexander didn't dare ask more, closely following behind her.

He saw her quickly go upstairs, rush to a certain hospital room door, and then—

Evelyn kicked the hospital room door open and stormed in furiously. "Dare to threaten me with my mother? You're looking for death!"
