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
Evelyn looked over in the voice's direction and saw Nathan walking toward her in a deep blue tailored suit.He walked over to Evelyn and draped his coat over her shoulders, saying in a gentle voice, "It's cold here, so don't catch a chill."Evelyn couldn't help but get lost in his deep, captivating eyes. They were dark and unfathomable, like a deep dark pond. She couldn't even make out the emotions churning inside them.It was just like how she used to look at Warren back then.Evelyn had a suspicious feeling because she felt the same sensation with different people.She politely nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Holland."Nathan gave a slight smile and looked at Russell. "I think Ms. Jefferson is right. Mr. Miller, as the Miller family's adopted son, you've always been unwilling to let go of the Miller Group's control. Isn't it ironic that you're now criticizing others?"You used to say Skyler was unwell and Dennis was too young. Now, he's almost 30 and in charge of the Larkin Corporatio
Nathan spoke while bending down, meeting with Evelyn's gaze. His gaze was fixed intently on her without any attempt to hide anything.It was like a vicious wolf eyeing its prey. The look on his eyes seemed to say that he wanted to devour her.Evelyn instinctively took a step back. "I do this with everyone I work with. I need to make sure that the facts I uncover match what you've told me before I take on the case.""Is that so? I thought you fell in love with me at first sight, Ms. Jefferson. But don't you think you need a boyfriend?"Otherwise, people might say you can't get over your ex-husband, which could affect your future plans. And I'm the best choice for you."When Evelyn faced Nathan, she always felt as though he could see right through her. It was as if he could read minds and could understand what she was thinking.Evelyn felt that this person was terrifying and dangerous.She gave a calm smile. "Thank you for today, Mr. Holland. I'll treat you to a meal another day.
