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

    Warren's bright eyes darkened immediately at the sound of Dennis' voice. He was about to snatch her phone so he could hang up when he heard her say, "I'm free. Since I have time, how about you let me know what kind of cuisine she enjoys? I'll look into restaurants we can go to."Dennis chuckled gently. "You're so kind. Aren't you worried that my mom will actually fall for you?""I thought you wanted her to fall for me so you could get rid of the arranged marriage she had lined up for you. Don't worry, I'll do my best," Evelyn replied as she stirred the noodles in the pot.Dennis pinched his brow helplessly.His cutie pie really didn't remember him.She was no longer the same little girl who used to follow him around and call his name adorably. She had become an opinionated, independent, and mature young lady.He smiled and said, "Good. Go ahead and choose the restaurant. I'll come pick you up.""No need, Mr. Potter. I can drive myself."He chuckled and replied, "Evelyn, don't

    Warren's heart sank rapidly.He had seen that woman somewhere before.Her pretty eyes and her gentle smile reminded him of a distant memory that was too far out of his grasp to see clearly.Warren realized he was losing his composure and quickly rearranged his features into a calm mask."If you don't mind, I can sit right there."Of course! Take a seat." Skyler seemed to have regained her composure as well.Evelyn couldn't help but feel terribly awkward. She kicked Warren angrily under the table.However, before she could pull her leg back, his strong legs had caught hers.She couldn't shake him off no matter how hard she tried.He smiled in satisfaction at the sight of her red face.He poured a glass of water for her and passed it over with a smile. "Is it a little hot in here? You seem a bit red, Ms. Jefferson."Evelyn silently cursed Warren.However, she smiled instead. "Thanks, Mr. Larkin. I can't drink cold drinks. I'd much prefer some hot coffee instead."She picked

    After that, Evelyn began to storm back to the table angrily.She had been cold and ruthless toward Warren, but the moment she saw Dennis, her face lit up in a warm smile.That only fueled Warren's rage.Charlie ran over and saw his boss' dark expression. "Mr. Larkin, remember not to be too pushy," he said. "Ms. Jefferson only just started warming back up to you. Doing all of this will only bring things back to where they were before."Warren glared at him in annoyance. "I can't just watch her flirt with other men."Charlie said without beating around the bush, "But you used to do the same to her too, Mr. Larkin. When Clara came back to Bramston, you took more care of her than you did Ms. Jefferson. "She probably felt just like you do now, if not worse. After all, you didn't end up bleeding from a miscarriage. Oh, that's right. You can't get a miscarriage anyway. You wouldn't understand her pain."Charlie's words pierced into Warren like a sharp dagger.He had been too caught u

    Dennis remembered that his cutie pie loved wearing suspender skirts when she was little. She even had the same red petal-shaped birthmark on her back.She used to tell him that if they were ever separated from each other, he could find her again with the birthmark. Dennis frowned.Surely it was just a coincidence. But when he thought of everything that happened to Evelyn recently, he couldn't help but be suspicious of her identity.He said expressionlessly, "Fine. I'll go back and take a look at it."Jasper was surprised. "You're agreeing to it this quickly? They wanted to explain the details to you over a meal.""There's no need for that. I know more than they do."After finishing his words, Dennis grabbed his stuff and left. He felt that Evelyn would be in danger if his guess were right.…It was the weekend again. When Evelyn got home, she saw Jazzie lying on the sofa, eating chips and scrolling through reels.Jazzie didn't look distressed at all considering that she was ki

    "If you're my mentor, then I'm your grandmother!" Jazzie spat incredulously. After saying that sentence, she instantly caught on. She pointed at Ethan and asked, "Are you the 'Dr. Xavier' Mr. Carter mentioned?"Ethan nodded confidently. "That's right. Your reward is a bottle of fine wine."He handed the red wine in his hands to Jazzie. Jazzie was dumbfounded.Her friend introduced a filming crew to her, saying the crew wanted to do public service advertising about doctors who worked hard to save lives. They wanted to give her the role of a nurse, who would observe the hard work of a doctor from her perspective.To enhance the advertisement's realism, the director wanted her to intern at a hospital for a month. They even arranged a mentor for her, a cardiologist named Dr. Xavier.She assumed he would be a senior, around 40 to 50 years old. She didn't expect the cardiologist to be Ethan, who wasn't even 30 yet.Jazzie gnashed her teeth in anger. As she was about to let Ethan in,

    Evelyn looked at Warren in disbelief. The apartment she lived in was small. Each unit had a living room and two bedrooms, totaling up to around 1000 square feet of space.It was even smaller than the bedrooms in Warren's house. He decided to abandon his perfectly fine villa to become her neighbor for Bailey's sake.However, Bailey was extremely lively. It didn't look depressed at all.Evelyn sneered, "I see you put in a lot of effort for Bailey."Warren looked at her sullenly. "Evie, the vet said having a sibling would be very good for his recovery, so she suggested we give birth to a sister or a brother for Bailey. What do you think?"He looked oblivious to just how absurd his words were. He stared at Evelyn and silently waited for her reply.Evelyn chuckled. "Mr. Larkin, if you want to give Bailey a sibling, you can buy one from the pet store. After all, you can never give birth to a dog no matter how hard you try."After saying her piece, she stood up and continued cutting th

    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,
