The day Warren searched for Clara, Evelyn told him she had something important to say.

But he never imagined that she meant a proposal.

Staring at the design sketch and the photos of the custom rings, he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Hot tears gathered in his dark eyes.

He said to Miriam in a gravelly voice, "Ask Ethan to come help me redress my wound."

He had to get better so that he could go talk to Evelyn.

When Seth emerged, he saw the sad and lonely silhouette of Evelyn's back. He stopped beside her and said gently, "Evelyn, have you considered starting a new relationship? Maybe you'll forget about your past wounds."

Evelyn raised her head to find Seth looking at her kindly. His smoldering gaze was trained on her. Deep down in his eyes, there was an emotion that she didn't understand.

Evelyn smiled minutely. "Seth, I'm not ready yet."

"Is it because you're not ready, or because you can't forget about him?"

Evelyn smiled wryly at being seen through so e

    Evelyn furrowed her brow. "What does his girlfriend have to do with me? We broke up a long time ago," she croaked hoarsely."I just sent you the video. Watch it. However, I'm warning you that his belated devotion is cheap. You can't fall for his tricks."Evelyn clicked on the video. Warren was wearing a black suit while being interviewed from behind his desk. Most of the beginning content addressed the development of the economy. But toward the end, the reporter suddenly asked, "Many people are concerned about your head injury, Mr. Larkin. Is it something you can share?"Warren gazed into the camera with a neutral expression. In his pleasant, deep voice, he said, "I made her mad, and she hit me in a moment of desperation."The reporter immediately asked him excitedly, "Can you reveal more about her?"Warren's dark eyes glimmered, and his lips curved slightly. "I haven't made her mine yet, so I can't say too much. Otherwise, I'll anger her again and get in trouble."The way he s

    When Evelyn came back around, she realized that she was lying on a dirty floor in an abandoned factory.Her hands and legs were bound, and her lips had tape over them.Two men sat some distance away.The men covered their faces well, so Evelyn couldn't see anything.It was only at that moment that she realized she had been kidnapped.Evelyn forced herself to remain calm as she tried to think of a way to contact the police. Just then, she noticed one of the men picking up her phone and making a call.Her heart instantly gripped in panic.She mumbled out a muffled, "No!"She was worried that they'd call her father. It was the middle of the night. The news of her being kidnapped would certainly affect her father's heart, especially when he had just started to recover.Evelyn was struggling to figure out a way to crawl over when Warren's deep voice echoed from the phone."What's wrong, Evelyn?"Before Evelyn could reply, the criminal threatened, "I have your girl with me, Mr

    It was late at night, and Evelyn couldn't see the man's face.However, she was certain that the guy who came was Warren.Her eyes turned wet from tears as she realized that Warren had come to rescue her. Her throat felt dry. She was about to speak when a gun was pushed against her head.The criminal's terrifying voice came after that."If you take another step, I will blow her head up!"Unfortunately, a loud 'bang' could be heard as soon as he finished speaking. A bullet had torn a hole in his arm.The pain was so intense that the criminal trembled and dropped the gun he held.Warren pulled Evelyn into his arms and twisted his body around to land a heavy kick on the criminal.That kick made the guy spit blood.Warren took his coat off and draped it over Evelyn's head. He whispered comforting words into her ears after that."Don't worry. I've come to save you."He hugged Evelyn and fought the criminal simultaneously.Evelyn couldn't see anything. She felt like a puppet, wi

    Evelyn spoke neutrally, and there was no way to detect anything from her tone.Warren looked lovingly at her and said, "Did you think I'd ignore you to tend to her? Evelyn, do I really seem like such a horrible guy?""Isn't that what you have always done in the past?" asked Evelyn in an even tone."But this time, it's a life or death situation. I won't abandon you, no matter how much of a jerk I am."Evelyn tied a beautiful butterfly knot near his arm. An indescribably bitter grin crept onto her lips."Really?" replied Evelyn in a sorrowful tone. "I doubt that."Her one short sentence had Warren at a loss for words.He grabbed Evelyn's wrist, and his voice became a little deeper."It doesn't matter what will happen in the future. I will never abandon you again, Evie. Please believe me."Evelyn chuckled softly.Her eyes shone with immense distrust.The level of trust she had for him had since turned into distrust.She was not the same person she was three years ago.

    "I've said it before. I will not get in the middle of your relationship with Warren. Why won't you believe me? Why must you insist on hurting Warren like this? "Just days ago, you got his head smashed. Now, he has to get multiple stitches on his arm because of you. You shouldn't do that to him if you truly love him," said Clara.Evelyn was utterly speechless with Clara's ability to twist the truth.At first, Evelyn was only suspicious. She wondered why there were so many coincidences.After all, Clara was sent to the hospital for surgery on the same day Evelyn was kidnapped.Things had since cleared up.It was obvious that someone masterminded everything.Clara intended to show Evelyn that Warren would never choose to save her.She wanted Evelyn to give up on all hope.However, Clara didn't realize that Warren would act out of the norm and choose to save Evelyn instead.A small grin appeared on Evelyn's lips as she faced Clara. The former said, "Aw, I planned everything so

    Charlie immediately caught what his boss was implying, so he joined in."That is a fantastic idea! This way, Ms. Jefferson won't have to deal with any legal issues, and Mr. Larkin will finally get a wife. It's a win-win situation. How perfect."He even deliberately gave the idea a thumbs-up right in front of Clara.She was so infuriated that she almost bit her tongue off.Clara wondered if she had just helped Evelyn inadvertently. Her face was practically shifting between several emotions on repeat. Seeing that, Evelyn couldn't help sneering internally.She glared at Warren and said, "Dream on! I'd rather go to prison than be with you."After saying that, she turned around to leave.Unfortunately, Warren grabbed her wrist. "Evie, you're not allowed to abandon me. You're the reason I got hurt, so you can't ignore me."He kept holding onto Evelyn's hand.His eyes glowed with unending sorrow.The guy had basically turned into a sick puppy.Charlie watched as his employer chas

    "Who are you calling an asshole?"William was a soldier who had trained for three years. He reacted to the ambush quickly.With a quick spin, he grabbed Warren's arm and tripped him at the same time. Warren's pained groan came soon after.Evelyn put a stop to it immediately."Let him go, William," said Evelyn. "He injured his arm."William was upset as he shot her a look. In a hostile tone, he said, "I'll let you go this time since Evie asked."Warren glared. "You only had to protect one person, and you failed. Yet, you have the audacity to come after me," mocked Warren. When he turned his attention back to Evelyn, his voice became sweeter. He said, "Go take a shower then eat up. Call me if you get scared."William pulled Evelyn toward the stairs. "There's no need for that," said William. "I live in the unit opposite hers. I'll keep her safe."After that, all three of them walked up the stairs together.Warren didn't want to let Evelyn hang out with those guys, but he had

    Every word Linda spoke conveyed Warren's trust in her and disdain for Evelyn. She was suggesting that he didn't even want to come in person to visit Simon.Evelyn could tell what Linda was thinking. A faint, cold smile curved at the corner of her lips.She took out her phone from her bag, looked at Linda, and said, "Is that so? Then, I should personally call Mr. Larkin to thank him for remembering my father's kindness toward him."After she finished speaking, she started pretending to make a phone call.Linda immediately spoke up to stop her. "Mr. Larkin is very busy and currently in a meeting, so please do not disturb him.""Is it that he's busy, or is it that you don't want him to know you're visiting my father without his permission?"Linda realized that her thoughts were seen through by Evelyn, so she decided not to pretend anymore.A slight smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Evelyn, back then, you took so much from Warren without regard for his well-being. Your hea

    Evelyn immediately took out a piece of tissue to help Simon wipe away his tears. She said softly, "Dad, I know you have a lot you want to say to Ms. Dawson, so please wake up soon. We're all waiting for you."Simon's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was agreeing to the promise.After that, Erica took out silver needles from her bag and inserted them into the acupuncture points on Simon's head.…One hour later, the first acupuncture session was complete.Evelyn asked with some concern, "Ms. Dawson, how is my dad?"Erica was tidying up while speaking, "His condition is better than I expected. At this rate, he should be showing more obvious responses in about a week."Hearing these words, Evelyn looked at her excitedly. "Really? That's great! My dad has hope now!"Ms. Dawson, you've been running around all day. Let me take you to eat first, then you can rest at the hotel."Just as she finished speaking, Simon grabbed Erica's hand.Seeing this scene, Evelyn's eyes widened

    The room suddenly became so quiet that they could even hear each other's breathing.Tears welled up in Erica's eyes as she stared at Simon. She only went to his bedside, taking a few difficult steps, after several minutes.Erica gently placed her fingertips on Simon's wrist as tears fell onto his arm.Watched her unusual reaction, Evelyn finally remembered where she had seen Erica before.There was a picture of a women hidden in Simon's private photo album. If Evelyn wasn't mistaken, that woman is Erica.Simon had kept that photo all along, while Erica teared up upon seeing him. This kind of thing usually happened between couples.When Evelyn thought about it, she suddenly understood everything.Erica was someone Simon had been in love with many years ago. The unfortunate couple was separated initially because of Xena's scheme.Evelyn walked slowly to the bedside, patted Erica on the shoulder, and asked, "Do you know my dad, Dr. Dawson?"Erica wiped away her tears and sighed.

    Erica was dressed very plainly, but her delicate features still stood out. The red mole near the corner of her eye felt especially familiar to Evelyn.Her first thought was that she had definitely seen Erica somewhere before.She calmly approached with a smile and said, "Dr. Dawson, we're here to fetch you to treat my father."Erica greeted them with a smile. "Come inside and have some water first. I'll go pack up, and we can leave in a short while."They followed her and entered the courtyard once more.While packing her things, Erica asked, "So, which one of you is Sophie's friend?"William, who had always been carefree and uninhibited, immediately stood up and respectfully said to Erica, "It's me. I met her in Zyldrica."Erica looked him up and down, her eyes revealing a hint of delight. "You seem very handsome and look spirited, young man."William's smile was somewhat stiff. It was the first time someone had ever complimented him, and he didn't know how to react.When fac

    Evelyn stepped forward and said, "But Warren and the others have been doing everything they can to find you and get you out."Alfred shook his head. "If I leave, that bastard will know that you all have discovered his secret. All your subsequent plans will fail."I'm staying here since he won't do anything to me anyway. I still have something I haven't given him yet. How else do you think I've lived until now?"You all should leave quickly. Just pretend nothing happened. My granddaughter and I will handle that jerk ourselves.""Mr. Miller Senior—"Evelyn wanted to say something else, but Nathan, who was behind her, grabbed her abruptly.He furrowed his brow and looked at Alfred. "Evelyn, Mr. Miller Senior is right. If he leaves, Warren's plan will be ruined. Don't worry, I'll assign someone to keep an eye on this place and make sure nothing will happen to him."Evelyn was eager to save Alfred so that Warren could launch a full-scale attack on Russell. Only then could they reunit

    Elma shook her head in disbelief. "That's impossible. You're talking nonsense. My dad was killed by Chester long ago. The person who killed him is not Sir."Evelyn gave a calm smile. "He says he's protecting you, but in reality, he has always treated you as a pawn to control Iris. Otherwise, your mother wouldn't risk her life so willingly for him."I could never understand why Iris would obey someone so willingly. But then I met you, and everything became clear to me."Have you never wondered why your mother looks so much like Mrs. Larkin? That person definitely won't tell you that they are twin sisters."You're also the one keeping an eye on this old man's biological daughter. That person has known about this secret for a long time but has kept it from Iris to fully control her."Whether it's your father, Ronald, or your mother, Iris, their tragic lives were all caused by that 'Sir' you mentioned. Do you want to follow in their footsteps?"Hearing these words, Elma glared at Eve

    The gears lunged toward them, like a giant shark with its jaws wide open.Just then, Nathan suddenly held Evelyn in his arms. In a low and hoarse voice filled with suppressed emotion, he called out softly, "Evie."His grip around her was tight. It felt as if he wanted to fuse Evelyn into himself. At the same time, he pressed a button that was a disgusting shade of yellow with his other hand.Everyone was wide-eyed with fear, staring intently at the turning gears.If the wrong button was pressed, not only would the gears not stop, but other traps in this room might be activated. They were in double jeopardy, and there was no escape for them.At that critical moment, the rumbling sound of the gears gradually diminished until it faded away entirely. The gears stopped just short of three feet away from them.Evelyn looked up at Nathan, her eyes wide with shock, and her voice trembling. "Nathan, we're saved."Nathan smiled and gently brushed her hair. "I told you, I won't let anythin

    The elderly man was none other than Warren's grandfather, Alfred. But wasn't Alfred being held in Milania by Russell? Moreover, he had been poisoned and was supposed to be unconscious.Yet, the elderly man before them was sitting at a table, leisurely playing a game of chess.Evelyn didn't have time to think much. She pressed the switch next to her, opened the door, and rushed in.Just as they went in, the glass door automatically closed behind them, and the entire room started to slowly descend—right into where the gears were turning.Evelyn looked at Nathan with some panic. "I think we've been tricked."Nathan looked at a control panel in the room and said, "Don't worry. This is the control console. As long as we find the button to stop the gears from turning, we'll be fine."After speaking, he carefully examined the central control panel.At that moment, Elma's laughter echoed again in the room. "Evelyn, this control panel has 81 buttons, and each one will trigger a different

    Elma's eyes seemed so familiar to Evelyn that they left a deep impression in her mind.When Evelyn was deep in thought, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as a name popped into her mind—Iris Lindt.Elma's eyes and nose looked a lot like Iris'. Could it be that they were related?Evelyn tried to stand up and look for William and Nathan, but her hands and feet were tied, making moving impossible.She softly called out, "William? Mr. Holland?"There was no response, so she tried calling out again. This time, a deep, hoarse voice rang out close by. "Evelyn, I'm over here."Nathan's voice was urgent and full of concern. In the darkness, Evelyn almost mistook it again for Warren's voice.She responded, "Mr. Holland, where is William?"Nathan kicked William beside him and said, "He's next to me. The drug seems to be affecting him more. Don't be afraid, I'll be over there right away."After speaking, Nathan crawled toward Evelyn. Seeing her pale face, he felt a bit concerned and asked,
