Meanwhile, Warren had just picked up his phone to call Evelyn. He wanted to ask her why she hadn't returned yet.That was when the door to the hospital room opened.Clara pushed Iris into the room.Her face showed no sign of shame from being chased out yesterday. The smile she wore remained beautiful."Warren, Mrs. Larkin asked me to take her to you."Warren was in a good mood from earlier, but seeing them there turned his mood sour again.In a hostile tone, he asked, "You just woke up. Why are you moving about and not resting instead?"Iris looked terrible, but the strength in her voice remained.She stared at Warren's wound and asked, "You're willing to die for Evelyn? All she does is get you in trouble. What's so good about that? Why are you so obsessed with her?"A hint of fury instantly rose from within Warren's gaze."She is my lover. What I'm willing to do for her is my business. I have the freedom to choose whether I want to live or die for her. I don't need others to
Iris left with Clara after threatening Evelyn.Evelyn was under Warren's protection, so Iris didn't have the guts to go overboard.Moreover, Chester had only just reconsidered the divorce because she had saved Bonnie's life. She didn't want to make things worse at such a fragile time.Her main mission was to keep her status as a member of the Larkin family.Iris thought that she would deal with Evelyn eventually anyway.When Warren saw Evelyn entering the room, he immediately asked in a worried tone. "Where did you go? Why were you out for so long?""I took a walk outside."Warren noticed that Evelyn looked off and was avoiding his gaze. He sensed that something was wrong.He immediately hissed and said, "Evie, I'm in pain."Evelyn ran to him immediately. She was about to lift his shirt and check his wound when Warren grabbed her wrist.It was only then that Warren noticed the red handprint on Evelyn's face.His gaze instantly turned icy. He tucked Evelyn's hair behind her e
As Warren read the reports, his expression became more and more grim.It seemed that it wasn't a simple case of switched babies. It was an attempted murder that had long been in progress.It was possible that the car accident that killed Sonya was meant to kill Evelyn as well.With the baby gone, they pretended Clara was Sonya's daughter and sent her to the Sullivan family.What they didn't anticipate was that Evelyn would be strong enough to survive.That meant that someone had abandoned Evelyn as a baby, and that was how Xena got her.Warren immediately ordered, "Go to Xena. Maybe she knows something about what happened in the past."It didn't matter if all she could offer was the smallest hint. It'd still be useful for the case.Charlie nodded right away and said, "I'll prepare for that immediately.""Has the criminal been interrogated?""Yes. He claimed to be a fan of that celebrity. There was a fan page, and someone deliberately riled the fans up. They even shared Ms. Je
Ethan built his happiness on Warren's misery and said, "Keep pretending, then. I bet even a bitter gourd isn't as bitter as you now. "Seriously, think about what Evelyn does for a living. And you're playing games with her? You're lucky she didn't bring you to your knees."Warren put pressure on his wound to stop it from reopening out of fury. He glared at Ethan and roared, "Shut up. Will it kill you to keep quiet?""No, but watching you get your butt kicked might make me laugh so much that I die from it," said Ethan as he burst out in boisterous laughter.Just then, Clara entered the room.She had a smile on and handed her invitations to Warren and Ethan. "Warren, Ethan," said Clara, "Next Saturday is my concert. Please drop by and watch."Warren never even looked up. He didn't accept the invitation, either. All he did was stoically reply, "I'm busy."After that, he closed his eyes to rest.Clara's eyes instantly turned watery. She looked ever so pitiful when she stared at him
"Isn't that Clara Sullivan? She's practically the town whore and yet she has the nerve to talk about true love in front of us. Go and die, whore!""No wonder Warren never fell for her. He probably didn't want used goods anyway! What kind of man would want to date a slut like that?""It seems like we've been fooled by that innocent face. Sacrificing in the name of love? She's probably got so many diseases from all the different men she slept with that she just can't have kids anymore!"The crowd immediately broke out into chatter.They were saying all kinds of nasty things.Clara didn't know what they were saying and continued her interview onstage. She still had tears flowing down her face as she talked about her lost innocence.Her assistant ran onstage and quietly whispered into Clara's ear, "Ms. Sullivan, something happened."She passed the photographs to Clara.When she saw the photographs, Clara's smile immediately froze on her face.Why were pictures of her from three ye
Evelyn had been sitting quietly at the back of the audience the whole time, watching as the crowd hyped themselves up into a frenzy.Her clear gaze briefly clouded over somberly.However, when she left and saw people tearing up Sonya's posters, she couldn't stop her heart from clenching in pain.She stood in front of the single remaining poster of Sonya and felt a twinge of guilt as she looked at the elegant, graceful woman in the picture.She had been aiming to bring Clara down, but she never thought she would end up ruining Sonya's reputation too.Sonya was an exceptional artist, and there would never be anyone like her again. She was gentle, kind and modest. How could someone like that have given birth to a daughter as evil as Clara?Evelyn carefully stuck the torn poster back on the wall and looked at Sonya's eyes, curved gently in a smile. She quietly said, "I'm sorry."After that, she turned to leave.She had only just walked outside when her phone rang.It was a phone c
Evelyn wasn't shocked in the slightest. She chuckled gently and asked, "Do you have a case for me, Mr. Sullivan? We can talk in the office tomorrow.""Evelyn, don't act dumb. Are you really going to tell me that you weren't behind what happened to Clara today? She's not the only one you dragged into your little temper tantrum. You even ruined her mom's reputation! If you don't apologize, then get ready for me to teach you a lesson."Evelyn couldn't help but scoff inwardly.Johnny really did love Clara.He didn't even consider investigating the matter first. He had already decided Clara was innocent.What an amazing father.Rather than be intimidated by his words, Evelyn remained perfectly calm."Mr. Sullivan, don't be so quick to talk about something you have no proof of. I can sue you for libel."It was the first time Johnny had gone directly against Evelyn. He never thought Evelyn could be so bold and witty.The Sullivan family was still considered an influential family in B
Warren couldn't believe Johnny would do that to Evelyn for a mistress' child.His cold fingertips lightly caressed the corner of Evelyn's eyes. His smile didn't fully reach his eyes."I don't think Evelyn could hire that many men for her to sleep with. Why don't you spend your time researching what your daughter's been up to while she was overseas the past few years?"Johnny was rendered completely speechless.Clara had been overseas alone for the past few years. The only person she stayed in contact with was a housekeeper who took care of her meals and house.Even though Johnny didn't know much about her private life, he had raised her since she was a child. He knew what she was like.He was willing to bet that his daughter would never do something so embarrassing.After hanging up, Warren's cold voice immediately thawed when he turned to look at Evelyn.He reached out his large hand and gently patted her on the head.In a gentle voice, he said, "Don't worry, Evie. I won't le
