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
Evelyn's heart skipped a beat.She immediately asked, "What happened?"Kayla replied, "Mrs. Jefferson Senior said something to Mr. Jefferson and caused his heart condition to relapse. He's now under emergency treatment in the hospital. The doctor has informed us about his critical condition."Upon hearing this, Evelyn's hands started to tremble.Her voice also quivered as she said, "Wait for me. I'll be there right away."Just as she was about to get up, she saw the opposing lawyer approaching her."Ms. Jefferson, my client has calmed down. We can start now."Evelyn looked at Clara, who had been acting crazy just moments earlier. She was staring at her calmly now.The latter's expression carried a smug look.Evelyn instantly understood what was going on.She gritted her teeth bitterly. "I have an emergency. I have to request a temporary adjournment and postponement of the trial," she said. The opposing lawyer frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jefferson, my client i
