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
