Chapter 484

Evelyn Laurent moved like lightning, closing the distance to Beatrice Quincy in an instant.

Her stun gun gleamed coldly as she pressed it against Beatrice's abdomen without hesitation.

The current activated immediately.

"Aaaah—"

A piercing scream tore through the air.

Beatrice convulsed violently before collapsing like a beached fish.

A dark stain spread rapidly beneath her.

Her eyes rolled back, limbs twitching uncontrollably—even basic bodily functions failed her.

Evelyn watched dispassionately before tossing the stun gun aside.

She turned toward the elevator, her retreating figure resolute.

This hadn't been part of her plan.

But Beatrice had crossed the line by ordering security to attack her.

Self-defense was justified.

Reginald Quincy would receive this warning loud and clear.

Security guards shrank back as she exited the Quincy building.

No one dared block the path of this avenging fury.

Standing in the sunlight, Evelyn dialed Xander Quincy's number.

"The number you have reached is currently unavailable..."

The automated message repeated.

Her eyes narrowed.

Ethan Sullivan's disappearance definitely involved the Quincys.

Xander's role remained unclear—for now.

But the Quincy family would pay.

Thirty minutes later.

Beatrice awoke to the acrid stench of urine.

Disoriented, she found herself sprawled on the cold floor.

Memory flooded back.

Her entire body trembled at the remembered agony of electricity coursing through her.

When she saw the dark stain beneath her, her face contorted.

"Evelyn Laurent!"

Her shriek echoed through the empty hallway.

Stumbling into the bathroom, she scrubbed her skin raw.

Water couldn't wash away the humiliation—or the bone-deep hatred.

With shaking hands, she called Reginald Quincy.

"Father! That insane woman Evelyn—"

Sobs choked her explanation.

A teacup shattered on the other end.

"Call the police! Now!" Reginald roared.

"We can't... our men attacked first..."

Beatrice hiccuped through the explanation.

After a weighted pause, Reginald's voice turned icy. "Return home immediately. She won't breach the mansion's security."

Hanging up, he stared at the night beyond his window with a cold smile.

Ethan's disappearance had clearly rattled Evelyn.

This game was just beginning.
