Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 525
Chester couldn't imagine what Skyler had endured all these years. After a moment of deep thought, Warren spoke in a hushed tone, "This must remain confidential. If our suspicions are correct, Russell might be Zayn. "His move today to push me out aims to make Dennis the CEO, gaining control over the Larkin family. Our confrontation earlier was staged to deceive him into thinking we're adversaries, to lower his guard." Beside him, Ethan chuckled wryly and said, "You two brothers are quite something, always one step ahead. Willing to fight and take blows, thinking alike without even planning it out. It's almost unbelievable if you weren't blood-related." Dennis raised an eyebrow at Warren, revealing, "It's possible. I recall Grandpa mentioning having twin daughters when he brought me back. One passed away shortly after birth, and the other disappeared at the age of three. If Mom and Iris are indeed twins, the presumed deceased child might have survived." Warren's gaze narrowed s

Everyone was shocked upon hearing Dennis' words. Warren spoke up, "He's preemptively controlling you. It won't matter if our act is real or fake because he knows your weakness. From now on, you'll have to obey whatever he says."For Mrs. Potter and Mr. Miller Senior's safety, we have to continue the act. We must become enemies and fight for the Larkin family. Only then will Russell trust you without harming Mrs. Potter or Mr. Miller Senior."Dennis clenched his fists tightly. He could no longer hide the hatred in his eyes. "Grandpa had spent so much money to save him back then. He was never treated as an outsider and was even assigned to manage the Miller Group, a massive commercial empire."I never expected him to be such an ungrateful wretch after they've raised him for years!"Dennis' hatred surged to its peak at the thought of how Skyler's life was ruined by Russell and how she was now under his control.He had thought that he could clear Skyler's name after a thorough inv

Russell chuckled. "Alright, I'll keep it a secret."His smile grew wider after hanging up the phone. It didn't matter if what Dennis told him was true or not. He had nothing to fear about Dennis turning his back on him with Skyler and Alfred being held captive.Everything would be fine as long as Dennis helped him take over the Larkin Corporation.Meanwhile, Evelyn applied medicine to Warren's wounds as she spoke in worry, "Will Mrs. Potter be alright? I'm afraid Russell might harm her."Warren gently brushed her cheeks and reassured her, "Don't worry. He won't make his move now that he needs to control Dennis. She'll be fine as long as we don't give the game away.""Warren, do you think Mrs. Potter had suffered a lot back then if she's your biological mother? She mustn't have been able to do anything while watching her husband and children get taken away."If she hadn't been pregnant with Dennis, I guess she might have even wanted to end her own life."Warren's face held a trac

Warren carefully examined the report. His eyes lingered on the final sentence that read, "Confirmed parent-child relationship."He was Skyler's son, not Iris'. There was instantly a stabbing pain in his chest, and his eyes reddened.Warren pulled Evelyn into his arms. His voice was choked with emotion. "Evie, I'm not Iris' son. My mother is Skyler. My mother didn't kill yours."Evelyn's heart ached to hear those words. She knew that although she had forgiven Warren and no longer blamed him, he still harbored deep guilt.She spoke softly as she gently stroked his head, "Now that the truth is out, you don't have to feel guilty anymore. We must save Mrs. Potter. She has suffered so much over the years and shouldn't face more harm."Warren firmly nodded, "Got it. Thank you, Evie.""What should we do next?" asked Evelyn."I need to head over to the company and continue my confrontation with Dennis, but I will lose. The Larkin family rules can't be broken. "That's the only way we ca

Chester wiped away a tear seeing Warren in pain."The Larkins owe Evelyn an apology. From Iris' incident causing her so much pain, to harming her family because of the Larkins, I feel so sorry for her. "I believe you'll never forgive yourself if anything happens to her or the baby. Warren, think about it. Sometimes, you need to make a hard decision for their sake."It was past 1:00 am when Warren left the Larkin Manor.The streets were almost empty, and it had started drizzling.The steady rain pattering against the car window felt like it was tapping on Warren's heart. There was a chilling cold.He stood downstairs, looking up at the bedroom window. He was hesitant to go up, for he feared seeing the concern in Evelyn's eyes. He dreaded hearing her comforting words.Evelyn had lost a great deal of weight from taking care of the baby and worrying about the company in the past few days.While other wives could enjoy their lives during pregnancy, Evelyn had to stay confined withi

When Evelyn opened her eyes the next day, Warren had left.She seemed to be getting used to his absence. She understood he had many things to attend to and faced significant hardships. She too knew that he had been contemplating whether or not they should separate. She could guess what was on his mind after having lived together for over three years.Given the current situation, Warren couldn't fight back for Skyler and Alfred's safety. He had to temporarily step down and wait for the right moment to strike.Russell was worried about Warren's retaliation and started using external help to target the families that backed Warren up. Thus, Evelyn's family was implicated.Once she parted ways with Warren, the Miles and Sullivan families would stop supporting him. They would then be spared. But if that happened, what would become of Warren? How could he possibly defeat the powerful Dark Gust Society alone?Evelyn's eyes reddened at the thought, but she kept a smile on her face. She

Henry left after that.Watching Henry leave, Simon looked at Evelyn with concern."Evie, I understand you're in pain, but so is Warren. Perhaps separating for now is the best choice for both of you."Evelyn's long-held tears finally streamed down her cheeks. "Dad, why do we have to go through so much after everything we've endured? Is it true what Gregory said? That we have more hardships to face because we didn't complete our wedding?"Simon held her and comforted her, "Hardships will eventually pass, but this one takes more difficulty. No matter how capable Warren is, he can't single-handedly fight against powerful major firms from Oreil."Evelyn looked up at him. "Dad, won't he be even more heartbroken if we all leave him? How will he save Grandpa and Mrs. Potter?"She couldn't bear to imagine how Warren would suffer if they parted, not seeing his wife or child, the small fellow he had eagerly awaited.Simon sighed in helplessness. "Evie, don't think about that. You have only

Charlie said, "Alright, I'll get it done right away."Ethan reminded Warren, "This matter can be pretty serious. It's easy for them to pin a baseless charge on you that involves national data. Are you sure you can get her out?""I can't be sure, but I can't just leave her there.""But what about Evie? She's about to give birth. You can't leave her to give birth to the baby alone," Ethan pointed out.Warren rubbed his temples. "I'll be back soon, it won't matter. Have Jazzie come over to keep her company."Warren rushed home to find Evelyn taking a walk in the garden with Bailey. He felt a sudden urge to cry seeing her lonely figure.He didn't know how long the trip would take or what would happen.What if something happened to Evelyn while he was gone? The thought made him clench his fists.Bailey saw Warren's car and ran toward him, barking.Warren bent over to pat its neck and said, "Take good care of Mom. I'll be away for a few days."Bailey barked in response and ran back

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,
