Only when Warren saw that Evelyn had gone to sleep did he walk into the study.At that moment, he received an email from Charlie."Mr. Larkin, this is the portrait that was drawn based on that photo of Zayn. The police are already looking for him based on the portrait."Staring at the photo on the screen, Warren frowned.Zayn had refined facial features. The computer-generated portrait of him as an adult made him look so gentle.Someone who looked so elegant could actually be so vicious.Warren immediately typed a reply. "Look into the backgrounds of every faction leader in the Dark Gust Society. Perhaps he is hiding amongst them."…A month later, it was time for the first trial of the murder of Sonya.The evidence for the case was solid, so the trial progressed smoothly. Iris pleaded guilty the entire way.However, when the judge asked about Skyler, Iris refused to admit her guilt.Seeing her lack of remorse in court, Warren's heart seized with pain.How he wished that th
Why was it Iris?She used to be Sonya's best friend.Before she died, Sonya had trusted Iris so much that she had betrothed her unborn daughter to Iris' son.Why did Iris have to do this to Sonya?Not only did she have an affair with Sonya's husband, but she even gave birth to a daughter.In order to give her daughter a better life, she went so far as to betray their years-long friendship and kill Sonya.Because of that, Evelyn had ended up living a life of poverty.While these thoughts ran through her mind, she bawled.She had thought about it before—no matter who the murderer was, she would find them and avenge her mother.However, she never imagined that that person would be Iris.Iris, the mother of the man she loved the most.What would happen to her and Warren?His mother had killed her mother. Their relationship was stained by her mother's blood now.Evelyn couldn't stop herself from trembling. Her body slowly slid from the bed to the floor. "Why did it turn out t
Warren tightly clenched his fist, slamming it against the wall.All of a sudden, there was blood dripping down the white walls.All he could think about was Evelyn locking herself up in the room and sobbing.Ever since she got pregnant, she had been through so much. It hadn't been easy for her to get to this point, but fate dealt her another blow.Warren felt like knives were stabbing into his heart, causing it to gush with blood. His voice was raw as he said, "Evie, I'm right outside. If there's anything, you have to tell me, okay?"Hearing that he was nearly begging, Evelyn began to cry even harder. She stared at the door with tears streaming down her face. "Warren, you should go. I just want to be alone. I won't hurt the baby," she said, getting choked up.Those words were a stab to the depths of his heart.The person that she didn't want to see the most was him. His name was now on her blacklist.Thinking about this, Warren's eyes flashed with pain. He clenched his fist t
When Skyler heard this, she immediately took the hair clip off her head. Staring at the camera hidden under the pearl, she said incredulously, "How is this possible? I bought this at the mall yesterday. How could someone have tampered with it?"Realizing what had happened because Evelyn had found out about the truth, she began to tear up, blaming herself.Seeing her in this state, Chester tried to comfort her. "I wasn't blaming you, Skyler. Try and think carefully. Besides you, did anyone else touch this hair clip?"Skyler shook her head. "No. After I bought it yesterday, I kept it in my bag. Last night, I was alone at home. Even Dennis didn't come over. I don't know when this camera was installed."The more she spoke, the more upset she felt. If she hadn't worn this hair clip to the trial, Evelyn wouldn't have found out about this. She shook her head self-reproachfully and said, "Chester, you have to believe me. I didn't put the camera there. I really don't know what happened."S
Hesitating beside his car, Warren looked up at the house. When he saw Evelyn standing by the window watching him silently, he suddenly had the urge to rush upstairs and pull her into his arms.But he didn't.He just stood there quietly, gazing at her deeply.The two of them remained that way. One of them stood on the balcony, while the other stood in the courtyard. They stared at each other for a long time.Every minute felt like torture.Evelyn had just managed to calm down. However, the moment she saw Warren, tears streamed down her face again.She knew that this had nothing to do with Warren. She shouldn't put the blame on him.She had once said that she wouldn't let the hurt that Iris inflicted on her affect Warren.However, in the end, she was still a normal human. She couldn't set aside what happened to her mother to be with Warren. Every time she saw Warren, she thought about how her mother had been killed by the person closest to her. At the time, her heart must have
Back then, Warren had lost his eyesight, while 11 had lost her voice. Hence, they communicated using Facebook.This was an accessible phone that was specially made for blind people. Every message would be read out loud.Furthermore, he had used this number just to communicate with 11. He had never contacted anyone else.He stared at the message on his phone in a daze."99, do you see me? I'm waving at you."This meant that the girl in front of him was the 11 that he had been looking for the whole time.Once again, he looked in her direction. The girl gestured at him in sign language. "99, it's been a while."Warren stilled when he saw this.This was the only sign language that 11 had taught him that time.At the time, she had told him that if they were to meet again, she would use this gesture to communicate with him. If he saw this gesture, he would be able to tell that that was her.Standing there, Warren's dark gaze stared at the girl by the window.All of this informatio
Linda took her phone from her pocket and typed out a message. "I met him, but he was wary of me. I didn't manage to get close to him."The man sitting opposite her read the message with a sinister smile."If he fell for this easily, then he wouldn't be Warren Larkin."His assistant nodded with a smile. "I am sure that Warren will look into Linda Jennings' background. He won't believe this so easily."The man laughed coldly. "I'll make him believe it."After leaving the cafe, Warren got into the car. He immediately said to Charlie, "Go look into this woman called Linda Jennings.""Did you notice something strange when you talked to her?" Charlie asked.Warren narrowed his eyes slightly. "I didn't notice anything, and that's why it was weird. It was like she knew all the answers to the questions in advance. Not to mention, she gave me a very unfamiliar feeling. She was nothing like 11."Charlie started the car. He looked in the rearview mirror and said to Warren, "If she's an imp
Why did Warren not have any memory of this at all?Before he could go into the room and ask her, he heard Simon's voice."Warren made your favorite spaghetti bolognese. I'll ask him to bring it to you so that you two can have a proper talk."Evelyn shook her head immediately. "Dad, give me some more time. I haven't thought about how I'm going to face him yet. If I don't handle this well, even if we stay together, there will always be a barrier between us."When Warren heard this, he stopped in his tracks. Slowly, he balled his hands into fists.Quietly, he went downstairs. He then took out his phone and called Ethan.As soon as the line connected, he heard the latter's lazy voice. "What's up? I finally got some time off, but you just had to ruin my sleep. If it's nothing important, then I'm going to start cussing you out.""Ask Jazzie to come to the phone," Warren said seriously.Hearing how grave he sounded, Ethan knew that this was important. He quickly got up from the bed.
