Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 564
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.

The girl's face looked exactly like Xena's. If Xena weren't confirmed dead, Evelyn would even believe that this person was her.Evelyn stared at the girl and asked, "Who are you?"The girl smiled confidently and said, "I am the Jefferson family's true daughter, Ivy Jefferson. Shouldn't you, the fake one, step down?”She was talking while taking out a paternity test report. It was her and Xena's report, indicating a mother-daughter relationship. There was even an official police stamp on it.During the investigation, Evelyn found out that Xena had secretly filed a report at the police station after losing her child. So, her DNA was indeed among the missing people.Given Ivy's age and appearance, Evelyn couldn't help but believe she truly was Xena and Simon's daughter.For a moment, Evelyn didn't know how to face Ivy.She had always wanted to find this person because she hoped to leave someone who would carry on Simon's bloodline. But she didn't expect that Ivy would be taken adva

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,
