Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 17
Evelyn arrived at the police station to find Jazzie seated in the interrogation room, handcuffed. Jazzie remained composed, facing the police officers and continuously defending herself without fear.Hurriedly, Evelyn approached and politely asked, "Hello, officer. I'm her friend. What's going on?"Before the officer could respond, Jazzie jumped in. "After you disappeared yesterday, Seth went to ask his dad to help you, leaving me alone. I knew you went looking for that asshole, so I felt upset and drank at the bar. I happened to see Clara there, boasting about your dad's situation to someone."You should've seen her smug face. I couldn't help cursing at her, and that's all I did. But this morning, the cops brought me here, saying Clara's car was vandalized and they suspected me. No matter how I explain, they won't listen."At the mention of Clara, Evelyn clenched her fists tightly. She didn't need to think to know that this was Clara's usual method of framing people, just like she

Evelyn's heart felt like it was being squeezed, the pain making it hard for her to breathe. She stood frozen in place, her body trembling uncontrollably.Jazzie noticed her abnormal behavior and slapped her hand, calling, "Evie, Evie."It took several calls before Evelyn reacted. Her face was as pale as paper. She slowly turned her head, casting a hateful gaze toward the woman.Her lips twitched a few times before she snapped hoarsely, "You don't deserve to be my mother!"With that, she pulled Jazzie into the car. She sat in the driver's seat, her legs still shaking. Jazzie pulled her down and said gently, "Get down, I'll drive."Evelyn didn't insist and went to the passenger seat instead. She leaned her head against the seat's back, wanting to close her eyes, but tears fell from them unknowingly.The bad memories from seven years ago surged into Evelyn's mind like a raging beast.Warren, who was left behind at the police station, cast a cold glance at the woman. He recalled the

Several minutes later, Evelyn knocked on the door of the Warren's office. The air of authority had vanished from her face, replaced by a natural and gentle smile befitting a professional woman."Mr. Larkin, what can I do for you?"Warren saw her empty-handed and frowned slightly. "Where's my breakfast?"In the past, he never had time for breakfast. It was always Evelyn who prepared it in a thermos container, delivering it to the company for him.Evelyn smiled and asked with a respectful tone, "What do you feel like having? I can place an order for you right away.""You didn't make breakfast?"Evelyn chuckled. "Mr. Larkin, I don't recall that being part of the contract I signed."Warren stared at Evelyn for a moment, trying hard to find the spark that used to be in her eyes whenever she looked at him. But now, apart from the official smile, he couldn't detect any personal emotions on her face.Warren felt a hollow ache in his chest, as if something he had been holding onto tight

The document had been dirtied and emitted an unpleasant odor.Warren had a severe case of germophobia, so if he were to receive this document, it was easy to predict how he would react.Evelyn's knuckles turned white as she gripped the document.Clara, as the pampered heiress of the Sullivan family, had stooped so low as to become an assistant at the Larkin Corporation. Needless to say, her intentions were rather obvious.Evelyn even dared to conclude that such occurrences would happen frequently in the future. A cold smirk graced her lips at the thought of this.After a dozen minutes had passed, Evelyn re-entered the conference room.Upon seeing her empty-handed, Clara's face briefly revealed a hint of satisfaction, but it quickly vanished without a trace.She pretended to kindly help Evelyn, saying, "Warren, if the contract isn't finalized today, it'll affect a multi-billion signing. But I believe Ms. Jefferson didn't intentionally lose it. Can you please spare her? I'll compe

It appeared that Clara had underestimated Evelyn.The meeting ended an hour later, and the contract was signed as scheduled.After the meeting was dismissed, Gloria deliberately said in front of everyone present, "Warren, Clara has made a reservation at the Flaming Feasts. "Do join her for dinner. The reservation has been made for the private room you both used to frequent back when you were dating."The meaning behind her words was clear. There was no way Evelyn could have missed it. But with a professional smile on her face, she continued arranging the documents with her head lowered and expression unchanging.When she straightened up, she gave Warren a light nod and said, "Enjoy your meal, Mr. Larkin." Then, picking up her notebook and the documents, she was ready to walk out the door.However, Warren stopped her by grabbing her wrist. With a forceful tug, she fell into his arms.Evelyn's expression instantly darkened, and her gaze went cold. "Mr. Larkin, please show some re

Clara had never been treated in such a way. She struggled with all her might as she shouted, "Evelyn Jefferson! How dare you hit me? I'll make sure your father dies in prison!"The mention of her father further fueled her rage. Evelyn's grip on her tightened."Since your parents never taught you any manners, I'll do it for them!"Clara was slightly shorter than Evelyn, and as she was brought up like a princess, she was no match for Evelyn at all.Minutes later, her face was all bruised up. Clara gritted her teeth and spat, "Just you wait, Evelyn Jefferson!" Then, she ran out holding her cheek.The hatred in Evelyn's eyes did not fade away as she looked at her reddened palm. Those slaps were not enough to pay back for the trouble Clara brought her.She had done all she could to free herself of her mother's shadows. She would not allow Clara to push her back into the darkness. After straightening out her clothes, Evelyn went back to the office.…Half an hour later, Charlie hurri

Warren's icy gaze shot over to Evelyn. "Apologize to her immediately!" he ordered.Evelyn met his gaze with a similarly frosty one of hers. Warren hadn't even asked for her side of the story, and he'd asked her to apologize right away. Did he really trust Clara so much?Evelyn had already experienced his unfairness many times in the past. Back then, she'd been really hurt when he behaved like that. But now, all she felt was an icy coldness that spread throughout her heart.Looking at Warren, she responded flatly, "Why should I apologize for something I didn't do? Do you plan on forcing me into admitting something I didn't do?""You have one minute to apologize, Evelyn. Otherwise, the consequences shall be yours to bear!"Evelyn sniggered. "Have I not been bearing all the consequences since the very beginning?"He had dragged her along to give Clara the blood transfusion, resulting in her almost passing out in the hospital. He had accused her father and got him imprisoned, resulti

In order to prove Evelyn guilty, Gloria brought Warren along with her to the surveillance room.Clara trailed after them with her face masked up. She gritted her teeth together with such hatred as she watched the surveillance footage. She vowed to get Evelyn out of here, once and for all!A handful of them sat in the surveillance room, watching the footage with their eyes peeled. Warren even got them to play the video in slow motion when it came to the most critical moment.However, after watching the footage several times, they did not spot Evelyn there in the time that Clara was in the washroom.Clara stared at the monitor in disbelief. "That's impossible! Evelyn must have tampered with the footage! I'm sure she went in before me! There's no way she's not caught on the surveillance camera!"Warren looked at the people working in the surveillance room seriously. "Has Ms. Jefferson come to you to get access to the footage?"All of them shook their heads. "Mr. Larkin, you gave ord

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,
