Chapter 381
Seeing that Lindsey was about to walk to the door and teach the girl a lesson, Elysia stopped her immediately.
After all, Lindsey was the CEO of the company. It seems not so good that she went to argue with her employee.
“Forget it, Lindsey. She didn’t give me a hard time, Besides, I fought back myself. If you go and argue with her for me, it looks
like I asked you to bully her.”
Lindsey looked at her seriously. “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
Hearing this, Lindsey finally let it go. “Alright. I’ll tell them later. Whenever you come, you can come in directly. No appointment
necessary.”
Elysia’s eyes flickered slightly. She thought, I came here to see Lindsey for the cufflink. I wouldn’t bother her at other times
But hearing what Lindsey said, she nodded and replied, “Thank you, Lindsey
She knew well that Lindsey was worried that she might be bullied. Lindsey would feel sad if she refused to accept her kindness.
“Elysia, why did you come to see me today?”
As Evelyn started to speak, Elysia’s expression changed and her face became serious.
She had already prepared herself mentally before and had anticipated all the possible consequences, so she did not hesitate to
take out the cufflink from her pocket, handed it to Lindsey, and slowly said, “Do you recognize it?”
Lindsey stared at the cufflink for a moment, but she still had no idea about it. Meeting Elysia’s serious and somewhat stem eyes,
her heart sank slightly.
Lindsey thought, ‘Since Elysia came to me with this cufflink, it must have something to do with me. I’m sure it’s not mine. So if... I
must know the one who owned the cufflink
Taking a closer look, Evelyn found another clue: this should be a man’s cufflink.
Her face changed slightly. She wondered, ‘Could it be my father’s? This is the only person I can think of
She had rarely seen Jim Evans since she was a child, and after she went abroad, they had not seen each other for many years.
As for the cufflink, she was not sure whether Jim had one. But she remembered clearly when she was eleven years old, when
“Do you think of something?” Elysia asked.
Hearing Elysia’s voice, Lindsey came to her senses and nodded. “I’m not sure if it’s correct based on my fragmented memories.”
“Tell me about it.”
“It’s... my father’s?”
Elysia’s eyes darkened, and she nodded. “You’re right. It’s his.”
“But why did you have his cufflink?” Lindsey asked with confusion.

Elysia explained, “To be precise, it was found in Evelyn’s drawer.”
She shared everything with Lindsey because she had already let down her guard the moment she chose to come to her.

She trust Lindsey, so she came to her. She wanted to find the truth with her help. After all, it was not easy to investigate this
matter by Elysia herself, and Lindsey had lived in the Evans residence since she was a child and was close to Jim. Moreover,
Lindsey had always been grateful to Evelyn, so she was the best choice.
Lindsey’s face darkened. “You said this cufflink was found in Evelyn’s drawer?”
“That’s right,” Elysia looked up at her. “Lindsey, tell me, why would Jim’s cufflink be found in Evelyn’s drawer?”
Elysia’s question completely stumped Lindsey. Her hand tightening around the cufflink, she looked gloomy.
Lindsey thought, ‘I have an answer in mind, but if I could think of it, Elysia would know it too. So she came to me today because
she wanted to know my position instead of the owner of the cufflink
Walking over to the floor–to–ceiling window, Lindsey crossed her arms and looked out at the skyscrapers and the traffic, and fell
into deep thought.
‘If he really had something to do with Evelyn’s death, what should I do? Avenge Evelyn?‘ Lindsey thought.
Her brow furrowed, her mind racing. The pale little face flashed through her mind.
Lindsey sneered inwardly, thinking, ‘Father? My father has never cared about me in the past twenty years. It was Evelyn who
was nice to me. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been abused to death by Ashley.
let him off.”
Elysia knew she was right about her from her words.
“Lindsey, don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. I just want to know how Evelyn died. But I’m voiceless, and my power
is limited. I want you to help me.”
“How?” Lindsey turned to look at her. Elysia put her hands in her pocket and walked towards her. “You’ve spent the longest time
in the Evans residence and you’re closest to Jim. I want you to help me find some clues. Use the cufflink as bait.”
“Use the cufflink as bait?” Lindsey was puzzled. “But if we do that, we might alert Jim.”
“No, we wouldn’t alert him.” Elysia stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window, her eyes sharp. “I do this to draw him out.”
Her voice was cold, giving people a heart–wrenching feeling. Lindsey stared at her blankly, surprised by the powerful aura
emanating from her, and said nothing more.
Elysia continued, “If he was innocent, he had nothing to worry about. You just need to hint at it once or twice, and I believe Jim
will react. I’ll take care of the rest.”
She thought that this was the best method after careful consideration.
Elysia thought, ‘If I didn’t take the initiative, the truth would be hidden forever.
‘If Evelyn was coerced by Jim back then, only she and Jim would know about it. Evelyn is gone, and the only one who knows
about the truth is Jim. So I could only make him expose himself. In that case, I could find more clues related to this matter.‘
Lindsey frowned as if she was pondering her words. After a while, she said, “I’ve thought it over, and yo But you can’t leave me
out.”

As she uttered the last sentence, her gaze met Elysia’s. She looked at her in earnest. “Jim is a ruthless man. If he knew you

were investigating this matter, he would never let you go. I can’t let you take this risk alone?
Elysia was about to respond when Lindsey cut her off. “I know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid that if I get involved, I’ll
fight with Jim in the end, and it’ll damage my reputation. But I don’t care about any of that.”
“Elysia, Evelyn had gone. Grandma, uncle, aunt, cousins, and I, we can’t lose you again.”
