Chapter 758:
Even though Trinity had come up with the idea and ordered Dylan to carry it out, he did not dare reveal her involvement. He simply took all the blame himself.
Elliana stayed calm and indifferent while the chaos unfolded. After everything had settled down, she joined the rest of the students and quietly slipped away from the scene.
Chatter and laughter filled the campus as people discussed the wild event, but Elliana walked away by herself, secretly delighted.
She spotted Cole’s Rolls-Royce Phantom parked by the school gate as soon as she reached the entrance. Was he planning to pick up Wanda? Trying so hard to play the devoted fiancé, wasn’t he?
A sharp wave of jealousy struck Elliana, so she marched straight over, yanked open Cole’s car door, and climbed right in.
As soon as Elliana slid into Cole’s car, she didn’t bother looking around. She pulled off her mask, flipped her long hair back, and dropped into the seat with ease, resting her head right on Cole’s lap.
Cole had been sitting with his legs crossed, leaning calmly against the seat, absorbed in a document. The sudden intrusion caught him off guard. One moment, he was reading, the next, a girl had placed herself squarely on his lap before he could even react. For a brief second, the entire car fell into stunned silence. Myles sat in the front passenger seat, while Aron, Hugh, and the driver were all present.
Aron and Hugh, as Cole’s personal bodyguards, immediately prepared to act. A stranger entering the car without warning was more than enough reason to move. They stood quickly, ready to intervene.
Myles and the driver both turned to see what was happening behind them.
But the moment all four of them saw the girl’s face, they froze. Recognition passed between them silently. Without saying a word, they exchanged glances and calmly settled back into their seats. Elliana had returned. And she had done so with remarkable boldness, placing her head on Cole’s lap without hesitation. They were all silently intrigued, eager to see how this unexpected scene would unfold.

Hugh, especially, felt a surge of excitement. Elliana’s return meant Mabel was back too. He hadn’t seen or heard from Mabel in days, and the longing had grown unbearable.
Cole, however, paid no attention to the reactions around him. The moment he felt the soft weight settle against him, his entire body stiffened. His face darkened, shadows tightening across his features like a storm ready to break. In his memory, he had never been this physically close to a girl before. Who was this girl who dared to climb into his car and lie in his lap so casually?
He set the document aside, his expression sharp as he glanced down. What he saw made his breath catch. She had a face that seemed untouched by the world. Something in his chest shifted, his heart beating faster without permission.
Cole had encountered his fair share of pretty women before. As the head of the Evans family, dozens of women had thrown themselves at him, hoping to gain his favor. But none had left this kind of impression. This girl looked like she had stepped out of a portrait, timeless and effortlessly graceful.
Though he was known for being cold and distant, he was still a man with an eye for beauty. And in that moment, he couldn’t look away. He should have pushed her off, demanded answers, and reestablished control. Instead, he stared down at her, one eyebrow slowly rising.
Elliana gazed up at him, her eyes wide with feigned confusion, lips curling into a soft pout. “Excuse me, but… Who are you, and why are you in my car p>
