Warren remembered the flower-shaped birthmark on Evelyn's shoulder blade all too well.

Whenever he took her from behind, he'd find that birthmark irresistible and kiss it.

He was reminded of a floral scent whenever he kissed it.

That scent would always get him going.

If Evelyn truly was Sonya's daughter, then she was the bride who promised to him.

Warren's gaze burned with even more love as he thought about it while looking at Evelyn.

His voice became deeper as well. "Evie," he said. "You are the one I am destined to be with."

After saying that, he started the car engine again.

Evelyn had been wearing her earphones and hadn't heard Warren's conversation with Chet. Neither had she heard Warren's touching declaration of love.

Earlier that night, she shared a couple of drinks with the Yarrows. Seth hadn't been to work for a while, so she had to handle a lot of cases in the law firm.

Hence, it had been days since she had rested well.

She listened to relaxing music and looked out

    After saying that, Warren fished his phone out of his pocket and played a video.When Evelyn saw it, her eyes bulged in disbelief.She and Warren were in the video.He carried her into the bedroom and then carefully set her down on the bed. He even pulled the blanket up for her.He was going to get up to leave when two arms wrapped around his neck.Evelyn's warm lips pecked Warren's chest seductively a few times. Her voice was a little coarse when she spoke."Don't go."Warren's gaze filled with love as he looked at her. It seemed he struggled for a few seconds before he reached out and stroked her head."Okay, I'll stay. Be good and go to sleep."Hearing those words got Evelyn to grin in satisfaction. She got into a comfortable position after that and fell asleep in Warren's arms.Seeing that caused Evelyn to blush so hard that she was bright red, appearing almost as if she were bleeding.She couldn't understand why she hadn't gotten rid of that bad habit, even though they

    Seeing Chet in that state caused Warren to momentarily consider telling the truth.However, his rational side told him that there was no way things were as simple as he thought.Warren knew that if Chet knew the truth, the latter would surely show his love for Evelyn.That would undoubtedly endanger Evelyn.Hence, Warren remained stoic and asked, "Besides me, who else have you talked to about this?"Chet shook his head and answered, "No one. I worry that I'd alert the enemy if I do so.""So you're not a total idiot, after all. Now, pull yourself together and push your emotions away. Do not act even a little off. If your baby sister is alive, the slightest mishap from you will kill her. Don't you realize that?""I know. I just can't accept it. The baby sister I have been caring for all these years turned out to be the illegitimate daughter my father had with someone else. It's also possible that her mother is the murderer who killed my mom."However much Chet loved Clara in the

He put the plate right in front of himself.Evelyn thought he was going to dig in with his fork. To her surprise, she watched as he carefully removed all the strawberries from the cake."Here, eat up," said Dennis as he handed the plate to Evelyn with a smile. "I got rid of all the strawberries."Evelyn stared at the guy in astonishment.She had always loved strawberry cakes, even when she was a kid. However, she never liked the strawberries.That was something only the people closest to her knew.She wondered how the stranger in front of her could know that.She also wondered if that was just a coincidence or if they had met somewhere else before.Dennis saw the cute, surprised look on Evelyn's face and chuckled."The strawber

    After thanking the doctor, Evelyn entered the hospital room right away.Seeing the bandages all over Dennis made Evelyn's eyes teary with guilt."Mr. Potter, you were hurt because of me. Please feel free to ask for anything in return. I will do whatever it is to repay your kindness."Dennis shot a look at Evelyn and then at Warren, who was standing behind her. Warren looked ridiculously jealous which caused a hint of glee to flash past Dennis' gaze."I did that out of my own free will, so how could I ask for anything in return? If you really feel bad about it, though, there is something you can do for me."Before Dennis could finish talking, Warren pulled Evelyn into his arms and spoke in a firm tone. He said, "I will pay for all of your medical fees. If you want, I'll get you the best plastic surgeon in the country to treat your scars."I will also compensate you for your trouble. I will pay however much you want, but don't even think about going after her."Warren's gaze, his

    Before Evelyn could even react to Dennis' proposition, Warren's large hand enveloped her shoulder. His gaze darkened, his eyes fixed with an icy intensity on Dennis.Each syllable he uttered seemed to carry the chill of a winter's breeze. "No. She is mine." Every inch of Warren's body simmered with anger as he saw right through Dennis' scheme. It appeared to be a mere façade of a relationship, but Warren sensed a deeper motive lurking beneath. After finally managing to drive away Seth and William from Evelyn's side, Warren couldn't bear the thought of another man approaching her. If not for Dennis' earlier intervention in saving Evelyn, Warren would have gladly confronted him. Dennis glanced up at Warren before tactfully shifting his gaze to Evelyn. With a calm tone, he responded, "My apologies if Ms. Jefferson feels uncomfortable. Let's put an end to this. I don't need any compensation. Please, you may leave." With a courteous nod, he prepared to rest. Just then, Evelyn's voi

    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.

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.

If Evelyn wasn't mistaken, that woman is Erica.Simon had kept that photo all along, while Erica teared up upon seeing him.

    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,
