Evelyn never knew that to get Jennifer to agree to work with him, Warren had stood in the snow for an entire night.

A weird emotion filled Evelyn's heart.

She was heartbroken for Warren, but more than that, she was touched by everything he did.

She kept her emotions out of view and smiled at Jennifer. After that, she said, "Thank you for telling me about this. I pray that you and Seth will get back together soon."

Jennifer grinned and replied, "Sometimes, getting back together needs more than just courage. We also need someone who is willing to work hard for it selflessly.

"Ms. Jefferson, have you still not sensed that there is something wrong with Warren's legal case in Frawser?"

Upon hearing those words, Evelyn frowned a little. She asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm just saying. Warren loves you so much. How is it possible that he let other women have the opportunity to get close to him? Does he really strike you as the kind of guy who would lose all sense after drinking too muc

    Just then, Tim entered the house to report."Mrs. Larkin Senior, the members of the Miles family are here. Mrs. Miles Senior is here in person, and Ms. Sullivan is with her."A hint of hatred flashed past Bonnie's gaze.She had developed a distaste toward Clara since finding out about the latter's attempt at conning them.At first, Bonnie planned to kick Clara out. However, the former didn't expect the latter to come along with Sally.The two families were friends for generations.There was no way Bonnie could kick anyone out if Sally had come in person.Bonnie immediately got up and replied, "I'll welcome them."She had just left the house when she saw Clara in a light blue dress. The latter was hugging Sally as they walked toward the house.Sally's innocent face remained lit with a sweet smile."Mrs. Larkin Senior, my grandmother and I are here to wish you a happy birthday. May your year be filled with joy."Bonnie made her way over while smiling. She held Sally's hand and

    Evelyn knew what the bracelet represented when she saw it. She shifted her gaze to Warren to send him an implicit message and ask him about it.Warren smiled and stroked her head. "Grandma gave it to you, so you should keep it," said Warren, "Don't turn to me. You're the one who will have to take care of everything in the house in the future, not me."His words made it clear that they were a couple.They also announced Evelyn's future role and status.Every guest at the party was from a prominent family. They knew what was going on and immediately made their way over with their glasses to say their congratulations.Everyone wanted to take advantage of Warren's good mood and get on his good side.Evelyn smiled sweetly and replied, "Thank you, Grandma."Bonnie was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She immediately waved to the others in the family."Alright, I've given my welcoming gift. Where are yours?" said Bonnie before she warned, "Also, no one is allowed to be cheap w

    "Evelyn doesn't need to do a thing to be a hundred times better than you are. What's the point of competing?"Warren's words got Clara utterly humiliated. She looked pitiful when she stared at him and said, "Warren, I never intended to put Evelyn in an awkward position. It's normal for her not to have any artistic abilities. Not everyone is born with that kind of talent. There's no need to shield her to that extent."Her words implied that Evelyn definitely had no skills.It didn't matter if Evelyn performed or not at that point. She would still be embarrassed.Just as Warren was about to refute, Evelyn put her fingers on his lips to stop him. She smiled when she looked at him and said, "I am a prominent lawyer. Why would I need the powerful Mr. Larkin to speak up for me? Don't worry. I won't embarrass you."After saying that, she turned her attention to Clara. "What competition do you propose?"Clara feigned being troubled. She said, "I only said those words earlier because th

    Evelyn knew the lady in front of her was Clara's grandmother. By right, Evelyn shouldn't feel anything positive toward the elderly lady. Hence, she didn't know why she couldn't help feeling heartbroken when she saw Sally crying like that.Evelyn held Sally's arm and warmly replied, "Mrs. Miles Senior, I am Evelyn."When Sally heard those words, she wiped her tears off in disappointment. She held Evelyn's hand and sobbed. She asked, "Why aren't you Sonya? You look just like my Sonya when she played that song. Are the two of you—"Before she could finish talking, Clara interrupted. She rubbed Sally's shoulder and looked sad when she asked, "Grandma, do you miss Mom? I miss her, too. I'll take you to her tomorrow, okay?"Sally couldn't finish her sentence when she saw the tears on Clara's face.Sally didn't know why she saw Sonya when she looked at Evelyn. Everything from their smile to their style was too similar. That made Sally wonder if the two of them genuinely weren't related.

    "Mrs. Larkin Senior, it seems you'll be disappointed. Evelyn won't be granting you that wish."Hearing those words got Sally to tug at Clara's dress for a bit. The elderly lady scolded, "You are such a rude child. Don't talk nonsense. Today is Mrs. Larkin Senior's birthday. How can you say something so mean?"Clara acted as though she was the one being wronged. She looked sad when she replied, "Grandma, I'm telling the truth. Back then, Mrs. Larkin Senior knew that I couldn't have kids, and for the sake of the family's future, she didn't want me to get together with Warren."However, Evelyn can't have kids, either. Don't you know about that, Mrs. Larkin Senior?"Those words got Bonnie's smile to stiffen.Her gaze burned with anger when she glared at Clara and said, "Clara, my friendship with your grandmother made me forgive you for your past mistake. However, I will not allow you to say such horrible things about Evelyn."How could you say something like that just because Warren

    Hearing those words got Chets's dark eyes to suddenly light up with hope. He asked, "Where is she?""We haven't figured that out yet. All we have is a photo of a little girl. A reporter took a photo of her when she took part in a dance competition.""Send that photo to me," instructed Chet excitedly.His phone received a WhatsApp message soon after. When he tapped on the photo to look at it, his eyes instantly became wet with tears.That birthmark was extremely similar to that of his mother's.It was right on the girl's shoulder blade.The photo only showed the girl's back. Her face couldn't be seen.That being said, it was still obvious that the girl's figure seemed good. Her waist was thin, and she had long legs. A few drops of sweat were rolling down her beautiful neck.A happy grin crept up on Chet's lips.If that truly was his sister, then it looked like she was living well.Chet immediately ordered his men to continue searching for the girl.Compared to the aimless sea

    Evelyn said, "I know that having kids is very important to you, but I saw everything you did for me that day. I couldn't hold myself back and wanted to be with you."I planned to tell you about it after you are discharged from the hospital. If you can't accept that, then we'll go our separate ways."Warren, let's try for a while. If I truly can't get pregnant, then I will leave on my own accord. I won't make things hard for you."When she said those words, she felt as though her heart was being torn apart.Her voice trembled endlessly as well.Hearing that got Warren's throat to feel a little dry.He held her in his arms and tilted his head to kiss her tears away.Warren wondered just how much Evelyn loved him. He couldn't believe that she was still thinking about his well-being despite her own body being in such an unhealthy state.She never complained about how he was indirectly responsible for all that damage to her body, either.Warren was so heartbroken that he felt as 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,
