Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 149
Evelyn's beautiful face was calm and composed.Her gaze met with Warren's. Both of their eyes were filled with an indescribable emotion.Evelyn clenched her cold fingertips slightly before nodding at Warren indifferently.The trial began. The prosecutor listed all of the charges filed against Warren. To outsiders, the evidence was impossible to refute.Just as everyone thought the trial wasn't going in Warren's favor, Evelyn began her defense. Like a lion that was suddenly awakened from a deep sleep, she began to speak. Her clear and confident voice reverberated through the courtroom.Once again, she asked Laine what she remembered about Warren's body. As she expected, the latter fell for her trap and mentioned the wolf head tattoo on Warren's abdomen.However, this mistake spoiled everything for Laine because Warren didn't have such a tattoo on his lower abdomen.Evelyn also presented a statement from Warren's doctor stating that he suffered from sexual dysfunction after drinki

Warren's voice was laced with sadness and hurt. While he spoke, he kept caressing her head nonstop. His touch was careful, yet it felt like he couldn't bear to let go.Evelyn found herself at a loss when she saw Warren like this. She even wished that he would act domineering and overbearing the way he used to. At least she would be able to push him away without a care.But now, Warren looked like a fragile porcelain doll, as though she could break him with the slightest force.She forced a smile to her lips, but her voice remained distant and detached. "There's no need to thank me like this, Mr. Larkin. You paid a hefty retainer fee, so it is my duty to win the case."She didn't say a word about Warren's request. All she did was pat his back in a professional manner and give him a comforting smile. Warren felt even worse seeing Evelyn act this way, as though there was nothing between them except their professional relationship.Pain filled his eyes. His burning gaze fell on Evel

Warren and Charlie tailed Seth's car until they arrived at a high-end restaurant.Like a gentleman, Seth opened the door for Evelyn with a handsome, kind smile on his face. "Evelyn, my grandparents were looking forward to seeing you. They've been waiting here all day."Evelyn didn't refuse. Instead, she smiled gently. "They helped me out so much while I was working on this case. I should be buying them a gift as thanks.""There's no need for that. All you need to give them is your company."The two of them went into the restaurant and immediately spotted an elderly, white-haired couple. Seth's grandmother, Agnes Irvin, grabbed Evelyn's hand cheerfully. "You must be Evie. You're such a beauty. You and my grandson, Seth, are just a match made in heaven!""Mrs. Butler Senior, Mr. Butler Senior, thank you so much for your help. This meal is my treat," Evie said politely.Agnes replied unhappily, "Why are you calling us that? Call us 'Grandma' and 'Grandpa'. That feels more heartwarmi

After the meal, Seth drove Evelyn back to her hotel. He walked her to her door and finally mustered the courage to ask, "Evie, about the thing I asked you previously… Have you given it some thought?"Evelyn hesitated. Just as she opened her mouth, she heard a deep voice boom behind her. "Ms. Jefferson, do you have some time right now? I have a follow-up question about my case that I would like to discuss with you."Dressed in all black, Warren approached them with a cool expression on his face. His demeanor was polite and detached, and there was no discernable emotion in his eyes.Seth ground his teeth in anger. He knew that Warren did this on purpose, simply so Evelyn couldn't agree to be with him. He shot Warren a snide look and chuckled icily. "Mr. Larkin, don't you know that Evelyn hasn't slept properly in days because of your case? Even capitalists don't squeeze people dry like this."For the first time in his life, Warren chose the gentlemanly response. He nodded politely

"I think only the people closest to me would know about a birthmark on such a private part of my body." Warren narrowed his dark eyes. He continued, "In my family, the only people who would know this are my grandmother and my parents. I can't think of a reason why they would do this to me since this concerns the entire Larkin Corporation."Evelyn's eyelashes fluttered. She looked up at Warren and asked, "What if someone did this to help Laine marry into your family?""Why do you say so?""Laine gave me a choice earlier. She said she would drop the case if I convinced you to marry her.""Then why didn't you tell me? Is it because you still have feelings for me and don't want me to get involved with another woman?" Warren stared hard at Evelyn, trying to find a hint of reluctance on her face.But Evelyn merely smiled faintly. "Mr. Yarrow instructed me to win the case, not to come to a settlement. It has nothing to do with whether I care or not."Warren felt a thousand arrows pier

"It may lead to trouble rising to the occasion."Although Evelyn was standing in the living room, she still heard the doctor's words. Naturally, she understood what he meant.She fisted her hands tightly in her shirt, and her heart stopped for some reason.But in the next second, she heard the doctor calling her over. He handed her two types of creams and said, "Apply these three times a day. Try not to get the wound wet for the next few days. Once the injury heals, we'll assess its ability to function. I'm afraid I'll need your cooperation when the time comes."Evelyn was taken aback. "What kind of cooperation?"The doctor smiled. "Of course, you'll need to try to get his little one to rise. You're his girlfriend after all. Do you expect him to find another woman if not you?"Evelyn denied it right away. "I'm not his girlfriend." However, the doctor paid no mind to what she said. Instead, he continued with heartfelt sincerity, "Couples always make up after a fight in no time.

Could Warren's underwear have walked there on its own?Charlie couldn't stop himself from clicking his tongue. When his boss was in a mood to be shameless, nothing could stop him.Warren noticed everyone's strange reactions to what he said. Only then did he realize he'd said something wrong. He immediately chuckled and said, "Don't misunderstand. Something happened last night, so I slept in Ms. Jefferson's room."If he hadn't bothered to explain, things would have been better. Now, he was making it worse.Evelyn glared at him coldly. Her pale cheeks were covered in a layer of pink. She moved her lips but not a single sound emerged.Warren couldn't hide the delight in his eyes. He leaned into Evelyn's ear and said in slight embarrassment, "Sorry, I let the cat out of the bag. I shouldn't have said it out loud.""Shut up!" Evelyn spat. She then grabbed her luggage and stormed toward the departure gate.Watching her disappear from his line of sight, Warren smiled meaningfully. At t

Chet's surprise lasted for a good few seconds. Then, he stated calmly, "Your memory is really amazing, Mrs. Khind. You remember this so clearly even after so many years."Suzanne sighed and said, "I was friends with your mother. She had only gotten hurt so badly because she wanted to save the child in her belly. Of course, I remember clearly. "When your sister was born, she was not like the other babies. She was so pale and chubby, and she had large eyes like your mother. The birthmark really looked like a flower. I burst into tears when I saw that. I thought to myself that your mother must have left her favorite thing on your sister's skin."After Chet left the doctor's office, Suzanne's words were still ringing in his mind. Suzanne was his mother's best friend when she had been alive, as well as the doctor who did her prenatal checkups. She wouldn't make things up.His sister had a flower-shaped birthmark on her back. That was a mark that his mother had left for her.She must

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,
