"She's the one! If she hadn't intervened that day, the baby might have—"</p> <p>Olivia rushed forward, clasping Evelyn's hands tightly. "What a coincidence! I'm Olivia Valdemar, this guy's older sister."</p> <p>Tears of gratitude shimmered in her eyes. "Everything happened so fast that day. I never got the chance to properly thank you."</p> <p>"Is there anything I can do for you? Just name it."</p> <p>Evelyn calmly withdrew her hands and took half a step back. "It was nothing, Ms. Valdemar. Please don't dwell on it."</p> <p>She lifted the file folder in her hand. "I was just delivering documents. Now that my task is done, I should be going."</p> <p>As she turned, Evelyn exhaled quietly in relief. Thank goodness Olivia had shown up—otherwise, that damned birthmark secret would have been exposed.</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_in_article_1 --> <p>The atmosphere in the office grew tense.</p> <p>Sebastian's icy voice cut through the air. "Stop."</p> <p>He strode forward, closing the distance between them. "Why are you refusing the examination? Guilty conscience?"</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_in_article_2 --> <p>Olivia immediately stepped between them. "What examination?

"I just want an answer."</p> <p>A flicker of irritation crossed Evelyn's eyes. Why was this man so damn persistent?</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_3 --> <p>Suddenly, her expression shifted. She ducked timidly behind Olivia. "Ms. Valdemar, your brother seems to think I stole something..."</p> <p>Sebastian stiffened.</p> <p>Stole something? She had some nerve.</p> <p>Olivia's temper flared. "Is Valdemar Group's security system just for show? You're accusing a young woman of theft?"</p> <p>"She stole my—" Sebastian bit back the words.</p> <p>How could he possibly say, in front of his sister, that this woman had taken his virginity?</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_5 --> </body></html>
