"Alright, come over after the call," Tammy replied.

Evelyn sat alone in a quiet corner, engrossed in typing a message to Warren on her phone.

Before long, a man with striking blue earrings eased onto the sofa beside her. He offered a smile as he glanced at her.

"Ms. Jefferson, mind if I join you?" he asked.

Raising an eyebrow, Evelyn maintained her cool demeanor. "Mr. Waltz, what brings you here?"

The man was Zachary Waltz, the second heir of the Waltz family. He was known across Bramston City as a notorious playboy. Rumor had it he had slept with enough women to circle the entire city perimeter.

Zachary raised his glass, a playful smirk on his lips. "I have a case I'd like your help with. Do you have a moment to discuss it?"

Evelyn wasted no time in her response. "It's my break time, and I'm not taking on any cases. Come to my office on Monday."

"Ms. Jefferson, you certainly carry yourself with confidence. Other lawyers are clamoring for the chance to take on this l

    Jazzie found her thighs numb from sitting too long on the garden steps earlier. With an unexpected tug from Ethan, her legs gave way, and she stumbled right into Ethan's arms. Her lips bumped into Ethan's fair and alluring collarbone, causing her to wince in pain as tears welled up in her eyes. "Why did you pull me? I'm skipping dinner to lose weight, don't you know?" Jazzie glared at Ethan with a hint of redness still present around her watery eyes. Her tender lips bore a split, with blood oozing from them. Seeing Jazzie's distress, Ethan didn't react with anger. Instead, he swiftly retrieved a tissue from his pocket and gently pressed it against her wounded lips. His tone softened considerably."It's alright if you don't want to eat. But why the anger? What have I done to upset you lately until you kicked me out of your house?" Jazzie snatched the tissue and shot him a fierce glare. "I find you annoying. Is that not allowed?" With that, she turned on her heel and stormed o

    Jazzie swiftly waved her hand, remarking, "No, you might have mistaken me for someone else."Dr. Xavier, the director is looking for me. I should head over there now." Observing Jazzie's retreating figure, Brandon muttered, "I've seen her before, just can't recall where. Curse this fading memory, it's getting worse." Ethan chuckled teasingly, "It's best if your memory fades more so you can forget about my arranged marriage." "That won't happen. Jack is here, and I owe him an explanation. His granddaughter is in Bramston City now. I'll convince her to come and meet you to discuss the wedding date." "You can meet her yourself. I'm busy." With that, Ethan exchanged a few words with the nurse before heading back to his office. Jack stayed in the hospital for a few days, and Jazzie secretly visited and stole glances at him without drawing attention. She wanted to take another peek on the day he was to be discharged, but unexpectedly, she found Ethan standing in the ward. Jack r

    "Yeah, I'm here.""When can I see you?"Her voice had a slight nasal tone, which made Warren's heart flutter."Babe, go to the balcony and check out the snow. Take a picture for me."Evelyn slowly got up from the couch and stood by the window. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked outside at the blanket of snow. Leaning against the window, she gazed at the snow-filled sky and sighed. "It's still snowing, Warren. I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for Christmas."Warren chuckled softly. "Do you really want to see me?""Yes, very much.""Then open your eyes wide and look outside."Confused, Evelyn looked out the window. Suddenly, she saw tiny lights appearing in the snow. The lights gradually formed a large heart shape.Evelyn's eyes widened in surprise. Just then, colorful fireworks shot up from the snow, bursting in the snowy night sky. They bloomed like flowers, with petals falling like rain.Evelyn was stunned by the sight. Her throat was tight with emotion,

    The world was an endless expanse of white, making Warren's features stand out even more sharply. His dark eyes were calm, and a deep emotion was hidden within his cool, composed expression.Looking up at Evelyn, Warren gently said, "Evie, before I fell in love with you, I never thought about marriage. I saw it as a burden, a constraint. I didn't believe that getting married would bring happiness."After a brief pause, he added, "But you changed that. You helped me out of that shadow and made me want someone for the first time. "I want you by my side. I want to share every beautiful moment of the future with you. Evie, will you marry me?"Evelyn's tears streamed down her face as she looked at Warren. He was usually so cold and proud, but now he was kneeling before her like a devout believer. His eyes were full of deep affection, waiting for her answer.For three years, this had been the moment she dreamed of. The scene she had imagined was unfolding before her very eyes.She

    Tears pricked Evelyn's eyes as her heart swirled with a whirlwind of emotions.Warren drew close, biting her cold earlobe with a hint of aggression."From this moment onward, you're mine, Evelyn. If you even think of running, I'll make sure you regret it," he cautioned, his voice husky.Then, he lifted her effortlessly into his arms.A subtle joy danced in his eyes as he kissed her, his voice tinged with playful mischief. "It's freezing out here. I wouldn't want you to catch a cold. Shall we go inside and warm you up?"His voice, raspy and tinged with mischief, sounded like a seductive devil.

Despite the biting cold and the relentless snowfall, a warm current surged within Evelyn, melting the icy weather away.Warren placed Evelyn on the bed and removed her down jacket. He gently pinched her cold cheeks a few times and said, "Lie down and wait for me. I'm

    Evelyn's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. She looked at the handsome man before her with astonishment in her dewy eyes."What marriage certificate?" she questioned."Our marriage certificate. You agreed last night, so there's no backing out now," Warren replied. A mischievous smirk graced his lips after he playfully bit hers.Evelyn gradually came back to her senses as the memories of the previous night flooded her mind. As she found herself lost in the frenzy he had ignited, Warren abruptly ceased his actions and leaned in to whisper in her ear."Babe, shall we get our marriage certificate tomorrow?"Despite her desire to refuse with whatever rationality remained, Warren's actions ignited an uncontrollable surge of adrenaline within her. Reluctantly, she uttered a hesitant "Okay".Recalling this, Evelyn glared at Warren with a hint of annoyance."You deceived me in love and marriage. I will sue you," she declared.Warren chuckled softly in response, "Ms. Jefferson, how do yo

We had planned to get our marriage certificate today," he said with a smile.Simon's eyes filled with tears as he looked at the dazzling diamond on Evelyn's finger.

    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,
