Even when attending various events, Warren always brought Charlie along instead. This was the first time he suggested taking her along to an event. So, she needed to prepare thoroughly.Linda left the office and immediately reported the matter to Russell.When he saw her report, a cold smirk appeared on Russell's face.He said to the assistant behind him, "Tell Dennis to send an invitation to Evelyn. I want to see if there's still any feeling between the two of them."…Back in the hospital, Evelyn stayed by Simon's side the whole time.Meanwhile, Jazzie returned from buying food outside and happened to see Davina and Ethan coming out of the office together.Jazzie gritted her teeth and pretended not to see them as she walked past.But when Davina saw her, she immediately stopped and greeted her. "Ms. Hoffman, are you going to visit Mr. Jefferson?"Jazzie slowly turned around and looked at her with a blank expression. "Do you need something, Dr. Teller?"Davina smiled. "No. I
Warren was dressed entirely in black, wearing a baseball cap and a black mask. He walked slowly to Evelyn's side.He stared at Evelyn's haggard face for a long time. Eventually, he couldn't resist reaching out and caressing her with his large hand.Warren felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at that face again.Tears welled up in his eyes at that moment, and a sharp pain flared up in his throat, as if something was piercing it.He said in a hushed voice, "Evie, I'm sorry."He didn't know what else to say besides apologize.He once promised her that he would help her find the miracle worker to wake Simon up. But, after two years of searching, he still hadn't found the person.He had also promised her that he would help Simon find his daughter, but there had been no news so far.All the promises he made to her ended up being empty. It even involved the feelings of two people.Warren held Evelyn's soft little hand and couldn't resist kissing it with his warm, moist lips. B
Just when the nurse was pondering what to do, she saw Evelyn approaching and immediately looked toward her. "Ms. Jefferson, please take a look. This madam insists on taking Mr. Jefferson away."Evelyn's face remained calm and expressionless as she looked at Gertrude with a cold gaze."My dad has had two major heart surgeries, and you didn't visit him even once. Right after his initial recovery, you teamed up with outsiders to agitate him, nearly costing him his life."He has been in a coma for two years, and not a single one of you from the Jefferson family has come to visit him."You're only here now that he's about to die. Do you really think I don't know what your intentions are?Upon hearing her words, Gertrude retorted, "Evelyn, you have no blood relation to Simon. His property rightfully belongs to me as his mother, and you can forget about getting anything from me."Evelyn smirked. "So, it's about my dad's estate. Don't forget, I'm a lawyer. Are you sure you can win a lega
Evelyn noticed this small movement by Simon. She immediately ran over, looked at Simon's hand, and said, "Havyn, talk to Grandpa again."Havyn saw how shocked Evelyn was and seemed to have guessed something. He stepped on a chair and climbed onto Simon's bed.He lay down beside him and hugged his neck. "Grandpa, I miss you so much. Please wake up soon and play with me, okay?"After speaking, he kissed Simon on the cheek.This further excited Simon, causing his fingertips to twitch once more. The first time might be a coincidence, but what about this time?Evelyn felt hopeful once again. She immediately pressed the emergency call button.The doctor came to check and said, "He responds to the child, which means the child is the person Mr. Jefferson cares about the most. Bring him over often to stimulate him. Perhaps a miracle might happen."Hearing this, Evelyn was rattled. Even if there was just a glimmer of hope, she wouldn't give up.She immediately held Havyn in her arms and
The next day, Evelyn met with Nathan in the president's office of the Zero Group.She knocked on the office door and entered. What caught her eye immediately was a tall and upright figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.Nathan, dressed in a white shirt and gray trousers, took a drag from the cigarette in his hand, looking weary.When Evelyn walked in, a glimmer of light briefly flashed in those deep eyes, but it quickly disappeared.He put out his cigarette, walked toward Evelyn, and wore a slight smile on his lips. In a gentle yet slightly husky voice, he said, "Ms. Jefferson, I've heard great things about you."Evelyn politely extended her hand, smiling and nodding. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Holland."When their hands touched, Evelyn inexplicably felt a sharp sensation, as if something had pricked her fingertip.It felt like a faint electric current spreading from her fingertips throughout her entire body. This tingling sensation felt both familiar and not to her.She h
Nathan's eyes darkened slightly. "What did you tell her?""I was afraid of revealing something, so I said half milk and half sugar."Hearing this, Nathan let out a long sigh of relief. Evelyn had always been perceptive and could spot any inconsistencies or clues no matter how small they were.If she knew that this coffee was three parts milk with no sugar, she would be even more suspicious of his identity.Nathan waved at the assistant, signaling for him to leave. He was left sitting alone in the chair, looking at the name Evelyn signed on the document. He couldn't help but gently touch it.His voice was extremely hoarse as he said, "Evie, I'm doing this to protect you."Meanwhile, Evelyn immediately called Tammy as soon as she got downstairs.Tammy quickly picked up the call. "Evie, did the meeting go well?""Everything went smoothly, and the contract has been signed. Next is the evidence-gathering process. When you were looking into Nathan, did you find anything unusual?"Ta
"Do you really think I would get back together with someone who caused me so much harm? Ms. Jennings, focus on your work and don't get any ideas about me. I'm not someone you want to mess with."After speaking, she headed toward the banquet hall with William.After only taking a few steps, she saw Warren, who remained tall and imposing, with a face marked by sharp features and an expression of sternness.The moment he saw Evelyn, his expression darkened.They were people who once deeply loved each other, yet now they had to act like enemies whenever they met. Only they understood this kind of pain.Warren gave a faint smile and was the first to speak. "Ms. Jefferson, I see your tongue is as sharp as ever, leaving my secretary speechless like that. As expected of the top lawyer."Evelyn looked calm and composed, her beautiful almond eyes revealing no emotion. "Good that you know, Mr. Larkin."Don't let your dogs out to bite just anyone. Not everyone can be provoked, especially so
Skyler's voice was loud and packed with emotion. Her lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear.Upon hearing this, Russell's fierce eyes narrowed slightly. He gripped the wheelchair's armrest tightly, patiently waiting for the show to begin.Evelyn clenched her fists nervously and finally understood Russell's ultimate goal.He wanted to use this method to make Warren the target of criticism and insults in order to test whether Skyler was truly insane or just pretending.Once it was confirmed that she was pretending to be insane, he would naturally realize that Skyler had regained her memory and knew that she was the one behind all of this. Dennis and Warren had always been acting with her.If that were the case, they wouldn't be able to save Alfred, and Winnie would remain imprisoned.Warren's two-year covert operation was about to fail, while the Larkin Corporation would also fall into Russell's hands.The atmosphere at the scene was so tense it felt suffocating.Every
