Warren stared at Evelyn with a pale face. "Don't kill her. We must get some information out of her mouth.""I know. You just focus on taking care of Evie; leave the family matters to me."After everyone got to see Evelyn, they left. Only Simon stayed, refusing to let go of his daughter's hand. He stared tearfully at Evelyn's pitiful, pallid face.Once again, Gregory's words resurfaced in his mind.Today, Evelyn and Warren hadn't managed to complete their wedding ceremony. Did this mean that more danger was to come in the future?Ever since the moment she was born, Evelyn had constantly been put in danger.She was such a good child, so why was God doing this to her?Thinking about everything that Evelyn had gone through in the past, Simon's tears rolled down his cheeks and landed on the back of her hand.Warren happened to see the sad sight when he came in. He walked over and quietly called out, "Simon."Simon immediately wiped away his tears and said hoarsely, "Warren, there's
Warren raised his eyebrow in disbelief. "You know her?"Evelyn nodded. "Do you remember Mandy? She and Clara had tried to frame me a while ago. We never found her. "The perpetrator is Mandy, but I think she got plastic surgery because she looks a bit different now. When you kicked her to the floor, I saw the dark birthmark on her lower back."I went to college with her and shared a dorm with her for four years, so I don't think I would've gotten it wrong. Iris must have hidden her somewhere. Perhaps we can get some information about Iris out of her."Warren immediately took out his phone and called Chet.After one ring, the latter immediately picked up. "Warren, is Evie awake yet?""She's awake. Everything is fine. Evie said that that woman was my former secretary, Mandy Lambert. Her family is still under my control. Maybe we can use this as leverage to make her give us something.""Alright, I'll try it."After hanging up, Chet went down to the basement again. Mandy had alread
Iris had been plotting against them, and so had Wayne.Chet balled his fist and asked, "Where is Wayne now?""He's in the basement of the beauty salon that Iris frequents. That's where the aphrodisiacs that Evelyn took were produced. I'm an employee, while Wayne is the supervisor. I always see them meeting there. This time, Wayne was the one who gave me this task. He said that once I finished this, he would send me abroad to reunite with my son."Chet's gaze darkened.When he first looked into the aphrodisiacs, he had assumed that they had come from a foreign black market, so it would be very easy to trace down the buyer. However, after investigating further, it turned out that this drug was already circulating within the country.It turned out that the beauty salon was the source of the drugs.Chet pushed his glasses up his nose and said coldly, "You knew that there would be a lot of people here. After you attacked Evelyn, there was no way you could escape. How were they going t
Wayne instinctively took a step backward when he heard that voice.His cloudy gaze turned toward the voice, and he spotted Warren walking over with a stormy expression in an all-black outfit.Only then did Wayne realize that he had fallen for Warren's tricks.He said lowly, "You've gotten the wrong guy. I'm not Wayne."Warren's lip curved into a cold smile. He stepped in front of Wayne and pulled down his mask, instantly revealing a familiar face.His dark eyes fixated on him. "Wayne, did you think I wouldn't be able to recognize you if you hid beneath this mask?" he questioned icily.He kicked Wayne in the stomach, sending him flying. The latter slammed into a pillar, causing him to spit up a mouthful of blood.Warren radiated a coldness that made the others feel like they couldn't breathe.Remembering that this person had ruined his wedding and nearly killed Evelyn and their baby, his mood turned vicious.He stepped in front of Wayne and placed his foot on the latter's neck.
"In the end, the homeless man held me back and let the woman run away. In a fit of anger, I knocked him unconscious and threw him into the fire. Since then, I've been living as that man, wearing a faux mask of his face."When Dennis, who was sitting in the surveillance room, heard this, he clenched his fists.Only now did he learn that his mother's face had been disfigured completely even before the fire.It was evident how much suffering she had gone through during that time. As a result, her mental state was badly affected.Dennis' typically kind face was now marred by a harsh look. He stood up from his chair and burst into the basement.He kicked Wayne in the stomach and said ruthlessly, "And since then, you've been hunting this woman and her son down to kill them, right?"Wayne stared at him in shock. "How did you know?"Dennis ran his tongue over the back of his teeth. "Because I am that boy. Couldn't you tell?"Upon hearing this, Wayne stared at Dennis for a long time. Th
Warren was in shock. He had suspected that Iris was the one behind all of it.However, suspicion and confirmation were two very different things.Warren suddenly felt a sting in his heart. It hurt so badly that he forgot to breathe.He muttered, "That's not possible. Iris can't be the one who murdered Sonya. There's no way she's Clara's biological mother, either. If that actually were the case, why would she try to get Clara and me together? Isn't she worried about incest?"Chet saw how tortured Warren seemed. The former sighed and replied, "I considered all that before. I also suspected that maybe you aren't Iris' son."Hearing those words, Warren gripped Chet's shirt and said, "That's possible. I'll do a DNA test. If she's Clara's biological mother, then there's no way she's mine."After saying that, Warren turned around to leave.However, Chet grabbed his wrist.He fished a DNA report out of his pocket and handed it to Warren. After that, he said, "I collected DNA from you a
After that, Warren clenched his fists and turned his attention to Wayne. He asked, "Iris' imprisonment, Clara's kidnapping of Evelyn, and the attempted assassination of Evelyn. Who is the mastermind who orchestrated all that?"Wayne shook his head and replied, "I have no idea who that is, either. He had always worn a black cloak and sat in a wheelchair. I couldn't see his face clearly. He planned for everything. If I didn't carry out his orders, he would kill my entire family."Mr. Larkin, I have told you everything I know. Please don't hurt my family."Wayne knelt on the floor and begged pitifully.Warren kicked the guy away and spoke in a harsh tone. He said, "Hand him over to the police and interrogate Iris again. We need her to tell us who Mrs. Potter really is, and who the mysterious mastermind is."Neither of you need to worry. I won't rescue her. She had this coming."After saying that, Warren turned around and left.Seeing his sorrowful figure, Chet couldn't help feeling
Evelyn leaned into Warren's arms and sobbed softly.The immense pain in her chest was more than what she could handle.There were so many times when she thought about asking the doctor to give her some painkillers. However, every time her words reached her lips, she would swallow them back.When she thought about how the medication might harm the fetus, she decided that she would endure all the pain.Warren was heartbroken when he kissed away the tears rolling down her cheeks. He cooed softly and suggested, "When I was hurt, your kisses would alleviate my pain. Maybe we should try that?"Evelyn's eyes were wet when she shifted her gaze. She looked suspicious when she asked, "Will that really work?""We can try it out. If it doesn't work, we'll try something else."As Warren spoke, his warm lips traced her cheek and slowly moved downward.When he came in contact with her soft lips, his voice became slightly deeper."Evie, do you remember the first time I kissed you?"His quest
