A gasoline tank behind Clara tipped over, and its contents spilled everywhere.

Evelyn knew that Clara had prepared that for her.

Not only did Clara want her baby's life, she also wanted hers.

Evelyn tried to back away. However, her hands and feet were tied, so she could only shuffle very slowly.

Even after Clara managed to get up from the floor, Evelyn still hadn't made it more than three feet.

Clara took out a lighter from her pocket. There was a click, then a blue flame began dancing before Evelyn's eyes.

She knew that the moment the lighter touched the floor, the entire ship would burst into flames. She wouldn't be able to escape.

Thus, she tried to stop her. "Clara, I know you want me dead. But, once the fire starts, you won't be able to get away either."

Clara chuckled coldly. "I'll just tell you the truth. Our people have already made arrangements to send a helicopter over the moment the flames start. They will take me aboard, and you will be left all alone here.

    Warren charged toward the inferno like a madman, but several bodyguards held him back."Mr. Larkin, it's too dangerous. There's gasoline on the ship, so the fire won't die out!""Fuck off! I want to save Evie, and I want to save my child!""Mr. Larkin, you'll die if you go. Let us go instead."Warren punched the bodyguards to the floor. Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop him, he drenched his clothes in seawater before dashing into the fire.As he ran, he shouted, "Evie, I'm here to save you! Where are you?"However, he still didn't see any sign of Evelyn.Just as he was about to run upstairs, he heard a familiar voice."Warren, save me!"Warren immediately turned around to see Clara tied to a pole with rope. Flames completely surrounded her.When he saw this, his heart clenched.The two must have fought, and Evelyn must have won. Then, she must have tied Clara up and ran away.In the face of such a huge fire, the only escape route was to jump into the sea.However, Evely

    Before the search and rescue personnel could finish speaking, Warren cut him off sharply. "Keep searching. She must still be alive!"Even though he also knew that the odds were not in Evelyn's favor, he still believed that she wouldn't abandon him.Chet looked at Warren seriously. "Clara had suffered burns to her entire body. She is now disfigured and has lost her voice. Johnny just went to save her. Should we send someone to bring her back?"Warren clenched his jaw at the sound of that name. "This is an order—no matter what, I want her alive. She would be getting off too easily if she died!""Warren, we should mentally prepare ourselves," Chet said while nodding. His voice was full of grief, and he clapped Warren on the shoulder.With such ferocious winds and waves, the likelihood of Evelyn surviving was very small. Not to mention, she also had to face her thalassophobia.If it were a river instead, where the currents weren't so strong nor deep, there might be a chance.But thi

    When Johnny heard that, his fist stopped in its path and hovered in mid-air.After a long pause, he finally responded. He shook his head incredulously. "That's impossible. How could she be my daughter?"Chet regarded him stormily. "It's not that you can't believe that this is true. You just can't accept that you did all of those things to your own daughter! For Clara's sake, you hurt Evie over and over again. This time, you even helped her escape from prison. It's your fault that Evie is missing right now."Johnny, if Evie found out that she had a father like you, she would be devastated. If she is really gone, then you would have killed her with your own hands!"It was the first time the warm and elegant Chet had roared at his father.Thinking about how all of this had happened because of his father, he grew to despise him even more.If Johnny hadn't had an affair and got his mistress pregnant, Chet's mother wouldn't have died, and Evie's life would not have been in danger over

    Johnny was dragged into the car. His arms and thighs were throbbing with pain.He knew that his bones must be broken.However, that pain couldn't compare to the hurt he was feeling in his heart.He clutched his head and wailed in agony. He then lay down in the backseat of the car and sobbed.As soon as their car drove off, a silver sports car came to a stop in front of the porch.Ethan handed Jazzie a tissue and comforted her in a soft voice. "Don't cry. You've been crying for days. Warren must be even more devastated than you. We're here to see him, not make him feel worse."But the more Jazzie wiped away her tears, the more she shed.She looked at the empty swing on the porch, then at the white Samoyed silently waiting at the door. She felt a painful sting in her heart.Evelyn had lived here for three years. She had spread her youth and love all over this place.Every flower and blade of grass carried traces of her.Jazzie remembered clearly how Evelyn would take Bailey f

    Warren's eyes darkened.He knew how important the chip technology data was for the Larkin Corporation.He had spent five years and billions of dollars on the research and development of those chips. Only then could he fight against Milania's monopoly of the chip industry.If he lost the data, their future products may not be able to be released into the market. This would mean a major loss.Warren immediately set his phone down. He walked into the study and logged onto the computer network to investigate the missing data.When Ethan and Jazzie entered, they found him frowning at his computer.Even though he heard them come in, Warren didn't even look up, nor did his fingers pause on the keyboard.Seeing him like this, Ethan immediately knew that something had happened. He walked over and asked, "Did something happen at the company?"Warren's deep voice was still a little hoarse. "Someone attacked our firewall, and we lost our chip technology data.""Fuck!" Ethan swore. "They'r

    "Ethan, why the fuck are you still gaming? Can't you let me sleep?'Jazzie rubbed her face against his thighs, and her hot breath fanned over Ethan's abdomen.An electrifying tingle instantly spread through his body.Ethan stopped typing and smoothed his hand over Jazzie's hair. He lowered his voice and said, "Alright, I'll be quieter. Go back to sleep."When she heard that voice, Jazzie was even more certain that she was lying on her own sofa at home, and that her head was cushioned by her pig plushie.She brazenly wrapped her arms around Ethan's waist and rubbed her warm cheeks against his thighs. "If you make any more noise, I'll kill you," she mumbled.However, her movements made it hard for Ethan to focus on his task.He looked down at the woman lying in his lap, and his gaze fell on her mouth which never seemed to stop yapping.There was a brief moment where he wanted to suck those lips between his own. He wanted to find out if her mouth tasted as spicy as her searing wor

    As Ethan spoke, he gently caressed the side of Jazzie's face.He slowly tipped his face closer to hers. His affectionate gaze glittered, and his lips were curved into a faint smile.His warm breath fanned across her face, making her heart race.Just as their lips were about to touch, Jazzie suddenly came back to her senses. She blocked Ethan's lips with her hand and said, "You bastard, you were trying to take advantage of me. Dream on!"Ethan cocked an eyebrow at her. "Did you think I wanted you to kiss me in return?""Wasn't that it?"Ethan laughed quietly. "I was going to ask you to cook for me as repayment. But if you want to switch to that instead, I'm happy to accept."With that, he leaned down to kiss her.Frightened, Jazzie struggled out from his arms. Blushing madly, she said, "Keep dreaming! Wait here. I'll go downstairs to see if there's any food."With that, she turned around and left.As Ethan watched the door swing shut, he touched his lips and smiled. "You dummy

    With that, Dwayne reached for Evelyn.Evelyn quickly shot up in bed and kicked him in the crotch.Dwayne cried out in pain. He clutched his crotch and spun around in circles.His blond-haired friend, Brad, immediately ran over. He raised his arm to slap Evelyn across the face. "You stupid bitch, you should be grateful that my friend wants you. If you stay with him, you'll live a good life. Yet, you dare to reject him. Do you have a death wish?"Evelyn saw stars from how hard she was slapped. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.Dwayne kicked Brad in the butt, cursing. "Get the fuck away. I like feisty women like her. It just makes her hotter."He reached out to wipe the blood from Evelyn's mouth, but she hit him again.She knew that she would suffer the consequences if she continued trying to fight with these men.She had to think of a way to buy time so that Warren could come to her aid.She abruptly put on a weary expression. Looking tearfully at Dwayne, she said in a

    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,
