Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 73
Evelyn reluctantly obeyed and dropped her phone from the rooftop. The height was too great, and she couldn't hear it hitting the ground. She glared fiercely at Xena. "Are you satisfied now? Get out of there!"Xena stepped over the railing and walked to Evelyn's side, wearing a sinister smile. "It's great having a beautiful daughter like you. You're like an endless source of money. I'm off now. Make sure to take care of Warren and earn some cash for me."As Xena left, Evelyn collapsed on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. Her mind was filled with disturbing images, and terrifying sounds echoed in her ears. Ending her life seemed like the only solution to escape from it all. Evelyn knew her illness had flared up, and it was severe. She needed to see a doctor immediately. Just as she attempted to stand and leave, her legs gave out, and she fell to the ground. Her knees collided with the gravel, leaving several cuts.In her weakest moment, the door to the rooftop swung

Seth took Evelyn to see a psychologist. After a series of examinations, they discovered that Evelyn had suffered from severe depression in the past. The reason for her relapse was due to stress, and she saw someone she shouldn't have seen.Seth's eyes welled up with tears as he thought about Evelyn's past ordeal. He dialed a number on his phone. "Mark, help me find a woman named Xena Summers."Two hours later, Seth met Xena. She was bound, blindfolded, and cursing incessantly. Seth stood to the side, smoking a cigarette, quietly watching her.It was because of Xena that Evelyn had suffered for so many years. It was because of her that Evelyn had contemplated suicide multiple times. How ruthless could she be to push her own daughter to the brink and show no remorse?Seth's heart ached at the thought of that. He stubbed out his cigarette and instructed his assistant, Mark Doyle, "Hit her where it won't kill her."At Seth's command, Mark's men began to beat Xena mercilessly.

After searching inside for a while, they couldn't find any sign of Steven. Evelyn grew concerned and asked, "What if it's serious, and he has been taken to the hospital?""Don't worry. I'll call and check," Seth reassured her.He immediately took out his phone and dialed Steven's number. He failed to get through even after several attempts. Thinking it might be an issue with his phone, he had Evelyn try, but she faced the same problem. At that moment, he noted the landline in the room had been severed, rendering all phone lines ineffective with their mobile signals blocked.Seth sensed trouble and hurried to the door, only to find it locked. He instantly realized they had been set up. The aim was to trap him and Evelyn together.Seth observed the scene and glanced at Evelyn, who blushed and gazed at him with a newfound desire in her eyes.Seth's heart skipped a beat. "Evelyn!"She weakly said, "Seth, I feel so hot."With that, she slumped onto the couch.Drawing on year

Warren stared at Seth, whose clothes were disheveled, and gritted his teeth. "Seth, do you really think I won't lay a finger on you just because your dad's backing you?"Before Seth could react, Warren charged like a wild beast and unleashed a barrage of blows upon him.Warren's mind was flooded with images of Evelyn in her nightgown; her face flushed as she lay on the bed. Her hair was wet, and even her pale neck was red.He had witnessed this sight of Evelyn before. She was his lover, yet here she lay in another man's bed. How could he possibly bear her betrayal?He unleashed another heavy blow on Seth, leaving him no room to fight back.Then, a weak voice pierced through the chaos. "Warren, stop!"Although Evelyn's words were meant to be stern, her weakened state made them feeble.Warren halted, and his eyes reddened with fury as he looked at Evelyn. Tears welled up in her glistening eyes, yet beneath them, a familiar sense of desire stirred.He gnashed his teeth in ange

Finally, Evelyn had broken free from him. She was no longer his mistress, and she was finally herself again.Yet, her heart still ached terribly. Evelyn spent the night quietly. The next morning, when Seth came over, she was hunched over her notebook, engrossed in something."Evelyn," Seth called out with concern.Evelyn glanced up and gave Seth a weak smile. "Seth, just give me a moment. I'm almost done with this resignation letter," she said.Seth stood in the living room, silently observing her.He couldn't discern any trace of reluctance on her face. Instead, she seemed surprisingly relaxed and content. He knew this was Evelyn's best disguise.The more painful she was, the more she pretended like nothing was wrong.He walked over and gently said, "I've arranged a golf game with Mr. Bennett. He wants to challenge you.""Sure, I haven't been active for a while," she agreed readily. But her fingers continued to type on the keyboard.Just then, her phone rang. It was a c

Warren lifted his eyes and stared at Evelyn. He hoped to see pain and reluctance on her face. He expected her to come and apologize, to beg for forgiveness. But instead, she said, "Mr. Larkin, I've already sent my resignation letter to you and the HR manager. You just need to approve it in the system. "As for the handover of work, I've already sorted it out and sent it to Mr. Crawford. If he has any questions, he can contact me anytime." Evelyn looked at him calmly and smiled.Warren clenched his teeth in frustration. He sneered. "Do you think no one else can handle this job besides you? Evelyn, don't overestimate yourself!"Evelyn chuckled lightly, "Of course not. Larkin Corporation is full of talent. I'm just being polite. After all, who likes being interrogated by their former employer after leaving a job, right?"Warren's fingertips tightened around the pen. He then retrieved a check from the drawer, scribbled a figure on it, and signed his name before handing it to Evel

Charlie wondered where Warren would be if not in the dining room.Charlie had a bad feeling and immediately ran upstairs. He was immediately choked by a strong smell of smoke when he opened the bedroom door.Covering his nose, he walked in and opened the windows. Turning around, he saw Warren sitting expressionlessly on the couch with an unlit cigarette between his lips. The ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts, and there was a pile of empty bottles on the floor. Charlie instantly realized that this was Warren's post-breakup behavior.He handed Warren a glass of warm water and said, "Mr. Larkin, perhaps I should reschedule your appointments for today. You could use a day to rest at home." Warren raised his sunken eyes and hoarsely replied, "Am I that fragile?""Mr. Larkin, it's perfectly normal to feel sad. After all, you and Ms. Jefferson were together for three years. It's never easy to let go of someone, even if it's just a pet," Charlie remarked, delicately skir

Several days later, Warren chastised all the senior executives from various departments during a meeting.As they left the conference room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Quietly, they murmured among themselves. "What's been going on with Mr. Larkin lately? Nothing seems to please him. My proposal was praised last time. But this time, I got scolded."Someone who understood the situation smirked and said, "Who was by Mr. Larkin's side in the last meeting?""It was Ms. Jefferson.""That explains it. Mr. Larkin is going through a breakup. As his subordinates, we should cut him some slack."As they walked and talked, they didn't realize that Warren was following closely behind them. He entered his office with a stern expression, and Clara came in with a cup of coffee, wearing a sweet smile. "Warren, I made you some coffee. Give it a try."Warren nodded faintly and took a sip. He frowned and asked, "Did you add sugar?"Clara paused, then said, "Oh, I thought you didn't like

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,
