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
Ethan arched an eyebrow and stared at Warren. "Someone must have exaggerated your injuries to lure her back here." Evelyn strode over to Jazzie's bedside. Holding Jazzie's hand, Evelyn checked her injuries. Her eyes were watery as they roamed over Jazzie's wounds.She could not hide the pain in her voice. "Jazzie, does it hurt?" Jazzie grinned carelessly. "Nope. They gave me anesthesia during the surgery. I could seize this chance to take a break. You don't have to worry about me." Ethan chuckled at her side. "I wonder who was the one crying in pain just now." "Ethan Xavier, are you not able to shut up for even a second?" Jazzie scolded. Terrified, Ethan instantly made a gesture of zipping his mouth up. Frowning, Warren glanced at him. "Did you handle the matter I told you about?" "It's done. Jazzie will have a medical record of going through a miscarriage. We will tell the public that the baby did not survive the severe impact. I also told the doctors who knew the truth
Clara was woken up by some noises and got off her bed. Massaging her aching head, she went downstairs groggily. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard Johnny's voice. "You must have made a mistake. My daughter has been at home. She wouldn't have gone out and hurt anybody. Besides, she's just a timid child. How could she have possibly plotted such a great scheme? "Evelyn must have slandered Clara. I will sue her." The police said, "Mr. Sullivan, we have witness and material evidence here. Ms. Sullivan is suspected of instigating others to harm another individual, which resulted in serious injuries. "If you don't bring her to us, we will apprehend her by force and law." Hearing that made Clara collapse onto the floor. She had done everything so secretively. How could anyone have found out about it? Even the calls were made with a new number. How would they have evidence for this? Her movements by the stairs alerted the cops. One of the young cops was qui
The officer's words instantly shattered all her hopes. "Sorry, the victim does not accept any mediation. She only wants you to be prosecuted. Also, do you think you'd win the appeal if Ms. Jefferson represents herself in the court?"Hearing that, Clara stared at the officer in disbelief. She said, "Evelyn is injured. How could she possibly go to court?" "Sorry to disappoint you, but Ms. Jefferson was not the one who got injured." Those words immediately sent Clara into despair. Evelyn should have been killed, but instead, she did not get hurt and managed to escape. How could Evelyn be safe and sound while Clara had to face legal consequences? She had never felt so defeated before in her life. She wailed madly, "I want to see my father, Johnny Sullivan. He'll surely rescue me." But the officer pretended as if he did not hear her. He ordered someone to take her into the prison cell. …Evelyn heard about Clara's situation while peeling an apple for Jazzie. She paused f
Seeing Warren like this, Evelyn couldn't help but be moved.She wanted to agree since she wanted the child to grow up with him as a father.But she knew how dangerous that would be for the child.If Jazzie hadn't helped her get the car, Evelyn might have lost her child.Evelyn's eyes reddened as she looked at Warren. "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."Warren lowered his head and gently bit Evelyn's ear. His hot breath filled her ear."Evie, have you forgotten how hard it was to conceive? I poured my heart and soul into making us a family. How could you be so cruel to break it all up?"As he spoke, he gently nibbled Evelyn's ear. It made her heart tremble and her whole body shiver.Her voice shook as she said, "Warren, being with you will only bring more danger. If Jazzie hadn't helped me get the car, I might have already lost my child."Warren knew this well. He kissed the corner of her eye, his tone full of jealousy. "Evie, you'd rather trust Dennis than me. Do you know ho
Evelyn's tears slid down her cheeks. She couldn't resist his deep and devoted love.Her determination to leave Warren dissolved. She looked up at him and said sweetly, "Warren, promise me you'll always protect our child, no matter what."Warren lowered his head and kissed away the tears from her eyes. "I promise, after this is over, we'll disappear to a place no one can find. Just us three. I'll handle everything for you. I'll even join you in prenatal yoga and wait together for our child."Evelyn was moved and filled with longing. It was a scene she had longed for—to raise their child together.Her tense heart finally relaxed, and a smile graced her lips."Warren," she softly called out.Warren looked down at her. "Yes, Mrs. Larkin?"Evelyn hugged his neck and softly kissed his lips. "I think I'm falling even more in love with you.""You only think so?" Warren teased. "Mrs. Larkin, shouldn't you be absolutely certain that you love me the most?"With that, his warm lips kiss
Hearing this, Evelyn turned back to look at him and said fearlessly, "We'll see, Mr. Sullivan!"With that, she turned and went upstairs.Johnny bit his lip in anger. He was about to speak when he heard Warren's low laugh."Sorry, Uncle Johnny, I've spoiled Evie, so she might seem disrespectful. But I think she's right, you don't have the ability to do so."Warren leaned against the door, his hands in his coat pockets. A mysterious smile played on his lips.However, his eyes carried a dangerous warning, threatening Johnny in case he dared to approach Evelyn.Johnny clenched his fists in anger but didn't dare say anything more.Instead, he looked at Warren and asked, "Didn't she dump you? Why are you still defending her? Don't forget, your mother was severely punished because of her."Warren's eyes were cold as he said, "Uncle Johnny, you should know what to do. I won't forgive anyone who hurts Evelyn, even if it's my own mother.""Warren, it seems Evelyn has bewitched you, turn
Evelyn was set to appear in court as Jazzie's defense lawyer.When she woke up in the morning, she gently touched her belly and happily admired herself in the mirror.She whispered, "My precious baby, once Mom finishes this case, we will leave this place with Dad. I'm quite looking forward to it."The thought of soon being able to register her marriage with Warren and living happily together as a family of three filled Evelyn's heart with excitement.Suddenly, she received a call from Warren.His deep and hoarse voice which was filled with allure came through the phone."Mrs. Larkin, are you ready to elope with me and bear our child?"Evelyn smiled and replied, "I'm ready. I'll follow your arrangement, Mr. Larkin."Warren couldn't hide his happiness. "Mrs. Larkin, you're so obedient. I'll reward you properly when we meet," he said.He deliberately emphasized the word "reward" with a suggestive tone, making Evelyn's ears tingle.She replied softly, "I have a court session late
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,
