Just as he was about to reach Evelyn, a gunshot echoed from behind, and the man crumpled to the ground. Blood pooled beneath him as he lay on the ground.

Quickly, Warren shielded Evelyn's eyes, his voice a gentle reassurance. "Don't be afraid, it's over now. Let's go."

With a tender gesture, he lifted Evelyn into his arms, exchanging a few words with Charlie before they departed.

Evelyn, still reeling from the confrontation with the kidnapper, now rested weakly against Warren's chest. Her hands clung tightly to his shirt with her lips trembling. Her tear-filled eyes gazed at Warren as she weakly asked, "Warren, how's Mrs. Potter?"

Warren dipped his head and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. He replied, "She had a few stitches on her back, but she's alright now. Don't worry."

Evelyn gazed into Warren's eyes which were so reminiscent of Dennis'. She softly remarked, "In times of peril, most women would scream, yet Mrs. Potter charged forward without hesitation. Isn't that stra

    Dennis felt a jolt in his chest. "Did you remember something?" "Not yet, but when the chandelier fell, a brief image flashed in my mind of being with him. Even though it was fleeting, I'm certain Chester was the man in the vision." Hearing this, Dennis tightened his grasp on Skyler's hand. "You had feelings for him, didn't you?" Taken aback by Dennis' direct question, Skyler paused before softly responding, "I suppose so, or else I wouldn't have intervened to save him. Dennis, do you think I was morally questionable in the past, knowingly engaging in an affair with a married man? And is there a possibility that you're his child?" Dennis anticipated that Skyler would eventually question his descent. Just as he was about to reply, a knock on the door interrupted them. Opening the door, Dennis found himself locking eyes with Chester. "Dennis, how is your mother? I came to check on her." Carrying a fruit basket and a bouquet, Chester's expression was gentle as he met Dennis' ga

    Chester's gaze momentarily froze upon hearing that name. Wayne, the Larkin family's butler, stood as the sole victim of the tragic fire years ago. How could Skyler possibly have any connection to him and retain such a profound memory of the incident? He regarded her with a mixture of confusion and intrigue. "Do you recall anything else about Wayne?"Skyler shook her head. "I have no clear memories of him. However, his name often echoes in my nightmares. I believe he played a pivotal role in saving me, perhaps during that fire.""But according to the records, Wayne was the only person present during the fire, and surveillance footage confirms no one else entered." A sense of disquiet settled over the room. If Skyler was indeed present during the fire, it could have been a deliberate act rather than a mere accident. Dennis, who had remained silent until now, interjected, "While the footage from the day of the fire shows only Wayne's presence, there's a ten-minute gap in the surve

    The sensations had been so overpowering that Evelyn feared she wouldn't be able to leave the house today if it happened again. She promptly pushed Warren away and rose from the bed, stating, "I need to visit Mrs. Potter today." But as she attempted to stand, a strong arm encircled her waist. A low, husky, and enticing voice whispered in her ear, "It's no hurry, a kiss before you go wouldn't hurt." With that, Evelyn found herself drawn back onto the bed. A cascade of tender, lingering kisses enveloped her. She was clueless to as when Warren had become so skilled; even the simplest kiss from him was captivating. It elicited a soft moan from her lips. Just as they were lost in their passionate embrace, there came a knock at the door, followed by Simon's voice. "Evie, Mrs. Miles Senior is here to see you. You and Warren should come down to greet her."Evelyn pushed Warren away immediately, her voice still carrying traces of desire. "Dad, we'll be down in a moment." Her voice wa

    Evelyn didn't understand how Sally knew Xena. Not to mention, Xena didn't even like sweet stuff. She was averse to that kind of food.So why would she like Sally's chocolate chip cookies?Their conversation shocked everyone.Chet immediately walked over and tugged on Sally's hand, saying, "Grandma, you've got the wrong person. This is Evelyn, not your granddaughter."Only then did Sally realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. She looked tearily at Evelyn and said, "What happened to Clara made me fall very ill. Even after getting better, I keep addressing the wrong person. "Sometimes, I hold onto Jennifer and call her Sonya. Oh, Evie, I hope you won't blame me for being so muddled."When Evelyn heard that, she felt a stab of pain in her heart. She felt so sorry for Sally. The granddaughter that she had doted on for over two decades ended up being so ungrateful, and her mother was most likely the one who murdered Sally's own daughter.Evelyn smiled slightly and shook her

    After being questioned by Johnny, Sally clenched her jaw harshly. "Who she is doesn't concern you, and you can't control me if I want to dote on her. If you weren't Chet's father, do you think the Miles family would let you off so easily for what you did to Sonya? "You're not welcome here. Leave now! Or else, I'll have security throw you out!"Simon angrily picked up a broom and began swinging it at Johnny. "I already warned you, if you insult my daughter again, I won't forgive you! I didn't raise her like a princess only for you to berate her!"With that, he slammed the broom against Johnny's back.Even though it didn't hurt, it was extremely humiliating.Johnny wanted to fight back, but Warren's cold gaze scared him off. He clenched his fists angrily and glared at Simon. "You'd better hope you never end up in my hands, or I'll kill you!"Warren gave him a cold stare. "You can try. Let's see if you're able to walk away alive."Johnny had nearly ground his teeth to dust from ho

    Sally beamed from ear to ear. "You even remembered that I like wine, Evie. You're such a lovely young lady. Please pour me a glass."Evelyn poured Sally a glass and then served everyone else at the table their own glass too.Finally, when she presented Warren with his glass, she gulped. Quietly, she said, "Um, Warren, could I have a small sip?"Warren refused without a second thought. "Babe, you can't drink when you're pregnant. Have you forgotten? Or do you want to give birth to a little alcoholic?""It's fine if I just take a small sip. Or I can settle for just a taste. It's not like I can get drunk off wine."As she spoke, she licked her lips with her tongue.Seeing how she was practically drooling, Warren flicked her nose with a smile. He raised the glass to her mouth and said, "You can only have a taste. I'll smack your butt if you have a single sip more."Evelyn nodded, grinning. She took a whiff and found the smell to be very familiar. She felt like she'd had this somewhe

    Evelyn couldn't wait to see Dennis and get the facts straight. So, she replied without hesitation, "Yes, I like you the most. Let's hurry."After she said that, she hastily dragged Warren to the car.Seeing how anxious she was, Warren's jealousy only intensified. Just as Evelyn was about to open the car door, he pinned her against the car. Tipping his face downward to look at her, he casually rubbed his nose against her cheek.His deep, husky voice was both seductive and pitiful. "But right now, I feel like your heart is occupied by that young man. I'm not in there at all."At the sight of his downcast expression, Evelyn pecked his lips and said gently, "I only think of him as an older brother. You're the one I love the most, hubby. So don't feel jealous, alright?"Hearing her call him "hubby", the blood in Warren's body began to surge, as though he'd been put under a spell. The jealousy instantly disappeared from his eyes and was replaced by unbridled lust.Smirking slightly, he

    Dennis hesitated several times before ultimately placing his palm on the crown of Evelyn's head. Smiling gently, he said, "Don't cry. You're going to be a mother soon, so why are you still such a crybaby?"Evelyn wiped away her tears and looked up at him. "Where were you all these years? Why didn't you get in touch with me? Every winter, I went back to your old home to wait for you. "When they tore down that place, I even fought with the construction workers. I told them that if they demolished your house, you wouldn't be able to find your home anymore."Upon hearing those words, Dennis' eyes filled with tears despite the smile on his face. He delicately patted Evelyn's head a few times and said hoarsely, "We were being hunted down. If I contacted you, you would be in trouble. "However, after we found my mother's family, our life improved greatly. The reason I'm back is to investigate my mother's case, so I didn't want to bring you trouble."Evelyn sniffled. "Really?

    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,
