Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 41
Evelyn glanced at Thalia in shock. "No, why?"Thalia immediately clicked on a photo in the company's forum. Then, she showed it to Evelyn. "Someone sent a photo of you and a man being intimate to the group chat. The entire company knows you have a boyfriend now and that he is a wealthy heir."Evelyn glanced at the photo but immediately felt relieved. Fortunately, it didn't capture the man's face. Otherwise, there was no telling how big of an uproar it would cause.She didn't explain herself and merely smiled at Thalia. "The documents for later are still missing our client's information. Please help me organize it."After working tirelessly, she finally prepared all the documents for the meeting.Evelyn had just entered the conference room and saw Clara sitting inside. The latter studied her in detail."Ms. Jefferson, I heard you're dating a scion. Congratulations," said Clara. She couldn't care less if the news was true. She'd worry about it after spreading the word to everyone.

Evelyn realized Warren had long known his mother was responsible for the near death of Simon. He just hadn't told her about it. He pretended to be Evelyn's husband before Simon, not because he worried about her. Instead, he did it to lessen the blow of his mother's wrongdoing. After all, Gloria would legally have to bear some responsibility if Simon ended up dead.A chill traveled down Evelyn's spine. She had slightly warmed up to Warren these past few days. Alas, those feelings vanished once she heard the truth. Evelyn let out a self-deprecating laugh and returned to the office with the document.Mandy sneered at Evelyn once the latter entered the office. "You've already bagged yourself the president. Do you even need the meager sum I owe you?"Evelyn snapped out of her daze and scoffed. "You can choose not to repay me. We'll just settle it at court instead.""You win, Evelyn! Give me your bank account number! I'll transfer it to you now." Mandy transferred the money and added

Even so, Evelyn didn't feel any pain. That went on until Seth noticed the blood dripping from her palm. He yelled, "Evelyn, let go!"Evelyn's entire body tremored. The more Seth tried to pry the badge from her hands, the harder she held it.Seth could only take a gentler approach and soothe her, "Evelyn, please listen to me and let go. I'll still help you win the court case without that video."The needle had already pierced into Evelyn's palm when she released her grip.Seth's heart ached when he saw that. He brought out a napkin while speaking in a hushed tone. "Hang in there. I'll remove the needle for you."Not a sound came from Evelyn as Seth pulled out the needle and applied some medication to her palm. It was like she didn't feel pain at all. What she said after Seth bandaged her hand was more shocking. "Seth, I could use a drink."…Meanwhile, Warren's friends had invited him out for drinks after work.It was slightly over 10:00 pm, but everyone's phones started rin

Evelyn slapped Warren. Although she didn't pack a strong punch, her action was extremely humiliating to Warren. After all, Warren was a big deal who stood at the top of Bramston City's social pyramid. Nobody dared to offend him. Plus, he was the Larkin family's heartless and cold scion.Death awaited anyone who dared slap him, much less insult him to his face.Even Ethan broke out in cold sweat for Evelyn. He pulled Warren away, trying to ease the latter's rage. "She probably had too much to drink. Don't get upset over the words of a drunkard, Warren. I'll have someone send you home."He was about to lead Warren away when the latter flung his arm off.A grim look shrouded Warren's face as he stared at Evelyn.Upon seeing that, Seth instantly hid Evelyn behind him. "I apologize on Evelyn's behalf, Mr. Larkin. She only said that because she drank too much."Warren's lips twitched. "You're apologizing on her behalf? Do you even have the right to?"His expression grew stormy as he

Warren's kiss was brief, but it was obvious that Warren was staking his claim over Evelyn. He nibbled her lip while huskily speaking. "Come now. Let's go home."Then, he leaned forward to pick Evelyn up in his arms. Eyes curving into a smug look, he asked Seth, "Is that enough to show she's my woman to everyone?"He didn't wait for Seth to react. Instead, he headed out the door at once.That shocked Ethan. He couldn't believe how shockingly Warren would behave once jealous. It was like he had bitten into the most sour lemon. Regardless, he patted Seth's shoulder and smilingly spoke, "Mr. Yarrow, sometimes, missing out on being with someone means you'll never get the chance to be with them ever again. "Not to mention, some people are unaware that they've fallen in love. Once they realize it, they'll become more affectionate to those they're unknowingly in love with."After saying that, Ethan whistled and casually strolled away. Only Seth remained as he watched everyone lea

It had been several days since Evelyn had seen Warren. He went abroad on a business trip with Clara. Clara had been sharing photos every day in the company group chat, and Warren was present in each one.Before long, rumors about Evelyn and Warren dating were squashed, and talk shifted to Warren and his sweetheart, Clara.Some even went to ask Gloria, but she neither confirmed nor denied it.Evelyn brushed off the gossip as mere chatter, knowing her relationship with Warren had ended long ago.Her phone buzzed on the table, breaking the quiet atmosphere. Evelyn glanced at the screen and saw it was a call from the former executive secretary, Tammy Graham. Without hesitation, she picked up."Hey, Tammy.""Evelyn, are you still at work? You better head over soon. Don't be late," Tammy's voice came through."I'm leaving right away. See you shortly."Tammy, who had previously served as Warren's executive secretary and mentored Evelyn, had transitioned into a full-time wife after m

Evelyn thought she could probably even hear her baby's heartbeat by now. Evelyn's eyes welled up with that thought in mind. She sat by the bedside, tenderly looking at the baby as she held her hand.She was so absorbed in the moment that she didn't even notice when someone entered.Clara glanced at the baby, then at Evelyn, smiling. "The baby is so adorable. Do you love children?"Without lifting her head, Evelyn replied calmly, "Whether I like children or not is none of your concern."Clara shook her head and retorted, "How can you say that? You're carrying the child that I'll raise. You may be the biological mother, but I'll be the adoptive and legal mother. Don't you understand?"Evelyn lifted her head in disbelief, and she coldly stared at Clara. "What do you mean?"Clara chuckled softly before continuing, "Have you ever wondered why Warren doesn't love you at all, yet he still had you bear his child? It's because a few years ago, I suffered a uterine injury while saving hi

The mention of a child ignited a raging fire within Evelyn.Forcefully pushing Warren away, she stepped back with a bitter smile."Mr. Larkin, you've got the wrong person. Your beloved is upstairs. If you want children, go to her. Even if I die, I won't bear your children!"With that, she turned and headed toward the backyard.His request seemed absurd and ridiculous.Warren and Clara appeared to be aligning against her. While Warren brought up the idea of surrogacy, Clara pressured her to have children with the intention of raising them herself. Frustrated, she muttered, "Warren, you jerk! It's none of my business who you want to make babies with!"Sitting alone by the pond, Evelyn quietly calmed her emotions.Memories of her past with Warren replayed incessantly in her mind."Ms. Jefferson, Warren asked me to come and comfort you. Are you okay?"Evelyn bluntly replied, "Get lost!"Clara wasn't offended. Instead, she smiled sweetly and said, "Ms. Jefferson, I realize you m

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,
