Upon hearing those words, Chet stumbled back several steps, eventually collapsing onto the bed. The very thing he had feared most had become a reality.

The driver, Eric Lindt, was a distant relative of Iris, battling cancer even before the incident. Despite his illness, he had hidden it and continued working for the Sullivans. With only three months left to live, the unsettling possibility of bribery lingered.

Following the accident, Iris promptly paid Eric's wife half a million dollars as compensation.

"Was this just a coincidence or a meticulously planned scheme years in the making?" Chet wondered aloud. "If Iris is truly responsible for Mom's death, how will Evie face Warren?"

These troubling thoughts weighed heavily on Chet's mind as he took a deep breath. He returned to Bramston City that very night.

Meanwhile, Iris sat alone in the cafeteria, her gaze fixed on the untouched food before her. Her eyes simmered with bitter resentment.

Suddenly, she noticed a familiar

    "If it weren't for you, Clara wouldn't be in this state. You destroyed her with your own hands!"At these words, Iris' eyes widened in disbelief. She shook her head vehemently. "Impossible! It should have been Evelyn who died! It couldn't have been Clara. "You're lying to me! I won't trust you!" She grabbed Johnny's collar, trying to strangle him. Just then, the cafeteria television began broadcasting the news. It was Evelyn on the screen. Dressed in a light blue mermaid gown, Evelyn stood beside Warren. They were surrounded by the Miles family members, each taking turns to toast them. "Here's a brief news update.

    Finishing his words, Chet instructed for a blood sample to be taken from Iris. He needed to verify her claims. He had recorded their conversation, and with this evidence, Iris couldn't escape justice. Leaving the prison, Chet lit a cigarette and took several deep drags. The harsh nicotine entered his mouth and burned through his lungs, making him cough. The thought of Evelyn's situation weighed heavily on his heart. He was torn about whether to tell her the truth. If she knew, it might shatter her relationship with Warren. She was finally about to marry the man she loved, only to discover that his mother was her own mother's murderer.With a heavy heart, Chet steadied himself and called Evelyn. The call was answered, and her gentle, melodious voice came through. "Chet, why did you leave so early? Is everything okay?" Hearing Evelyn's voice brought a faint smile to Chet's face. "I had something to take care of at the company. What are you up to now?" Evelyn's excitement

    Chet continued, "However, you continued to harm Evie over and over again. You made her narrowly escape death several times. At first, my heart ached when you went to prison. I thought that if you could repent, I would treat you well again once you're released."However, you recklessly attempted suicide to get out of prison. Then, you tried to burn Evie to death."Clara, it was at that moment that I was utterly disappointed in you as my sister. It's not that I didn't want to save you, but you had dug your own grave. You have no one else to blame."When Clara heard those words, she burst into bitter tears.She had thought that Chet had long abandoned and stopped caring about her. Even though he had given her a second chance, she hadn't taken it.Knowing that she couldn't go back on this path, she bawled loudly.Chet took a tissue and helped her wipe away her tears. His voice was devoid of any emotion as he said, "When I found out that Iris is your mother, our relationship as siblin

    When Chet heard that, his heart stopped. He immediately fished out his cigarettes from his pocket and lit one, taking a few deep hits.Then, he continued, "But Evie loves Warren dearly, and he is the father of her child. They have gone through so many ups and downs; it wasn't easy for them to finally reach this point. If Evie knew the truth, even if she chose to let go of her mother's grievance, she would definitely live the rest of her life while harboring guilt. I don't want her to suffer.""So, are you planning to hide the truth?""If possible, I don't want her to ever find out."Chet regarded Dennis with teary eyes.This was the best solution he could think of. Because of this car accident, his sister ended up living in poverty for many years. Even though Simon had loved her tenderly, she had grown up without maternal love. Furthermore, Xena had left a huge impact on her.After everything, she finally experienced her mother's love and her family's care. He didn't want her to

    The diary ended there.Evelyn looked at the date of the last diary entry. It was the day of her mother's accident.Her mother had been so excited for her birth, but in the end, she passed before she could even give birth.Now that Evelyn was pregnant, she could understand her mother's emotions at the time.With these thoughts in her head, Evelyn's heart seized painfully. She couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her cheeks.When Warren walked in, he happened to see her crying. He immediately approached her and hugged her from behind. "Do you miss your mother?" he asked lowly.Evelyn sniffled. "This is the first time I felt maternal love. My mother loved me so much and did so much for me, so why did God want to take her life? Why did He separate us? I hate the person who killed my mother so much. If I ever find out who it is, I will never forgive them."Warren's heart sank when he heard that. He hugged her even tighter.Although there still wasn't any evidence that Iris ha

    Evelyn laughed. She sniffed and said, "Am I? My husband's words are sweet. They aren't gross at all. Not to mention, we kissed when we said goodbye yesterday. Even if I swallowed any of his words then, they should be gone by now."Jazzie stamped her foot when she heard this. "Ah, Warren, you asshole, you've taught my innocent and cute Evie bad things!"While the two of them bickered in the room, Evelyn's phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Warren's number, she answered right away. Her voice was still tinged with joy as she said, "Hubby, someone's talking about you behind your back."Seeing the big grin on Evelyn's face, Warren also smiled. "Why are you so cheerful? Are you with Jazzie?"Evelyn widened her eyes. "How did you know?" she asked."Besides her, no one would dare talk about me behind my back."Jazzie leaned over. She looked at Warren on the screen and said huffily, "Warren, give me the old Evie back. You taught her your bad habits."Warren raised an eyebrow disappr

    Evelyn sat up in bed. Her eyes were still closed as she mumbled, "Why are you waking me up so early? I haven't gotten enough sleep."Simon patted his daughter's head affectionately, laughing. "Your groom is coming at 9:00 am, and you still need to eat and do your makeup. I'm afraid that you won't have enough time."Evelyn blearily got out of bed and went to the bathroom.When she got out, she saw a little head peeking in from the door.Albert was dressed in a white suit and a black bowtie. His big curls were styled up, making him look so handsome.He looked around the room curiously and saw Evelyn leave the bathroom. He immediately ran over and looked up at her. "Aunt Evelyn, do I look handsome today?"Evelyn crouched and looked him up and down. Smiling, she nodded. "Albert, you're the most handsome boy here today.""Between me and Uncle Warren, who is more handsome?""Of course it's you. Uncle Warren is too old and not as cute as you are." Evelyn pinched Albert's chubby cheeks

    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,
