Leaning close to Chet's ear, Albert whispered, "I haven't wished you a Happy New Year. Uncle Chet, I wish you a happy and healthy new year!" Albert's youthful voice made him chuckle. He then pulled out his wallet and took some pocket money out. Stuffing it into Albert's hand, he said, "I pray you'll be healthy and happy too." Albert smiled obediently. "Thank you, Uncle Chet." He turned and saw the picture of the flower-shaped birthmark on the desk. Instantly, his eyes widened. "Why do you have a picture of Aunt Evelyn? Do you guys know each other too?" Hearing that made Chet's heart sink instantly. Stunned, he stared at Albert and asked, "What did you just say?" "I said that's a picture of Aunt Evelyn. There's a flower-shaped mark like this on her back too. My dad has seen it in the photo album before. He said that the pictures were taken when Aunt Evelyn was in college. She's beautiful in her dance costume." Chet felt as if he had stopped breathing. His hands tighten
Warren was silent for a moment. He then asked, "Did you find out about that already?" Chet gritted his teeth in anger. "Warren Larkin, you're my best friend. You were the first person I confided in when this matter happened. Even my family did not know about it. "I trusted you so much. Why did you lie to me? You knew that Evelyn was the one I had been looking for. Why didn't you tell me?" Chet howled at him. He thought that Warren had been helping him to search for his sister. He never expected that this piece of trash actually hid the truth from him. Warren's voice was cold as usual. "What would happen if I told you? Would you be able to stop yourself from calling her your sister? Do you have any idea how much you'd hurt her by doing this?" "Would she not get hurt if you didn't tell me? She was nearly killed by Clara." "You're just stupid. You didn't even know it when that secret was uncovered. If not, Evelyn would not have been in so much danger." "Warren Larkin,
When Anthony heard Johnny's words, he became even more furious. "Sonya loved you so much. She came all the way from Ceumont City to Bramston City by herself just to be with you. But you, on the other hand, caused her so much pain that she passed away just for the sake of a prostitute. Even my granddaughter has gone missing to this day. "Johnny, how could Sonya rest in peace?" Johnny dropped to his knees with a thud. A mixture of blood and tears streamed down his face. "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I'll find my daughter and investigate the cause of Sonya's death." Harry aimed a kick at his stomach. Gritting his teeth, Harry spat, "Johnny Sullivan, if you can't find where the child is, you should go to hell and apologize to Sonya!" The kick made Johnny cough up blood as he stumbled backward and crashed into the coffee table. Ignoring the excruciating pain, he crawled up and knelt on the floor. No matter how much Chet hated Johnny, Johnny was still his father
It was the beginning of February when Warren returned from Ceumont City. Right after he entered the car, Charlie reported something to him. "Mr. Larkin, there's something that seems really strange to me. For the past few days, Mr. Jefferson has been reaching out to his friends in the business industry. "I heard that he wants to sell off his new company because of his poor health. He's even asking for a very low price." Warren's eyes darkened. He felt that something was wrong. Simon's newly established company was in the solar power industry, which Warren had always been interested in. This was an emerging industry with great prospects. Besides, this was where Simon's expertise lay. He would be adept at running the company. It had only been half a year since the company was established. Yet, its output had already reached billions of dollars. If he had continued developing the company, he would be earning way more annual profits than other leading companies in just fiv
Nobody would drop and leave everything behind at a time like this. But Warren did not seem to believe Evelyn at all. Grabbing Evelyn's chin, his voice grew cold and harsh. "Evelyn, do you really have the heart to leave me behind here? Have you ever considered what would happen to me after you leave? Have you thought about how you promised me that we'll be together no matter what happens?" The more he spoke, the more painful it was for him. His eyes welled up with tears. His deep-set eyes were covered with a layer of glistening moisture. He lowered his head slowly and spoke in a low voice. "Evie, please don't leave me, alright?" He did not wait for Evelyn to react before he captured her pink and soft lips with his. His kiss was filled with aggression and revenge. He kissed her so hard that she was almost out of breath. Only then did Warren let her catch her breath. But soon after, he forced his tongue past her teeth and ravaged her. Evelyn's mind went blank as she
Those words made Warren's heart skip a beat. "Didn't I tell you guys to keep a close watch on them?" "It was Mr. Jefferson who saw us. He said that we must be tired from work. He then told us to head in and have some ginger tea. After we drank it, all of us fainted. "We only realized that Ms. Jefferson and Mr. Jefferson were gone after we woke up." Warren gritted his teeth in frustration. He immediately ordered, "Stop all flights from leaving the airport. Search the entire city." He drove to the Jefferson residence by himself. He could not believe that Evelyn would leave just like that without leaving any clues behind. When he pushed open the door to Evelyn's bedroom, he saw a pink envelope on her nightstand. The sight of Evelyn's elegant handwriting made his eyes sting. "For Warren." Warren felt his heart thumping hard against his chest; hard enough that he might stop breathing. He opened the envelope slowly and pulled out a neatly folded letter. "Warren, as
If it was not for Jazzie who helped Evelyn to pick up her car, Evelyn would have been the one injured now. The thought of that caused a murderous look to appear in his eyes. He clenched his fists hard. Ethan placed Jazzie onto the stretcher. He then patted her face forcefully. "Jazzie, don't fall asleep. Wake up." Jazzie felt the pain from being hit by Ethan. She slowly opened her eyes and scolded breathlessly, "If the crash didn't kill me, then you would've been the one to slap me to death." The sound of her voice made Ethan tear up. He immediately asked, "How are you feeling? Is the baby okay?" Before Jazzie could reply, Warren dashed to her side. "You're not the pregnant one here. It's Evelyn, right?" Jazzie opened her eyes a little to peek at the anxious-looking man in front of her. She could not bring herself to continue hiding the truth from him. Her silence led Warren to believe that his guess must be right. He closed his eyes in pain. In Evelyn's letter,
Dennis had already guessed that things would end up this way. He raised his eyebrow. "Aren't you worried that you might face greater danger after going back?" Evelyn shook her head. "I won't allow Jazzie to suffer from all of that alone for my sake. I want to avenge her." Dennis knew what Evelyn's personality was like since they were younger. She was usually gentle and obedient. But when she became stubborn, nobody would be able to stop her from doing what she wanted to do. Helpless, he sighed. "Let's go. I'll send you to the hospital." After two hours, Evelyn pushed open the door to Jazzie's ward. It was not Jazzie whom she first saw, but Warren's tall figure. His face was pale and his eyes were sunken. The expression on his handsome face was something she had never seen before. He strode over to Evelyn and pulled her into his arms softly. His voice was extremely gentle. "Don't worry. Jazzie only had a broken femur. Her life is not in danger anymore." Evelyn was
