Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 80
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

The minor celebrity named Stella Goldbridge tried all her tricks to win over Warren, a man of considerable influence. Despite her efforts, Warren did not even glance at her. He avoided any physical contact. Disheartened, she stood up to grab a drink. She stumbled and found herself heading straight for Warren.Warren had a cigarette in his mouth as he watched her with a cold gaze. As Stella was about to fall into his embrace, he swiftly moved aside. As a result, Stella hit the back of the couch hard. Blood started flowing from her nose after that.Ethan saw this and laughed heartily. He told Stella, "Your little tricks won't work on him." He threw a stack of money at her and ruthlessly sent her away.Then Ethan looked at Warren with a smile. "You asked me to get you a woman. I've brought you more than a dozen now, and you haven't touched a single one. What's the meaning of this? Are you playing games with me?" He picked up his phone. With a meaningful smile, he suggested, "Sh

Evelyn suggested, "Why don't you call Mr. Crawford instead? I think Warren's pretty tired of me by now. He probably doesn't want to see me anymore. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."Ethan quickly said, "Evelyn, do you really want to cut ties with Warren completely? Being friends isn't that bad."Evelyn forced a laugh. "Dr. Xavier, as someone in my position, I shouldn't rely too heavily on my benefactor, should I? I've got other things to attend to, so I'll hang up now." Her words were clear and straightforward.After hanging up, Ethan couldn't help but curse. "Damn it, Warren, you deserve this! It's all your own doing. If you had shown Evelyn a bit of decency, she wouldn't have been so cold to you."Warren felt a sharp pain in his chest, but his face remained expressionless. His tone was indifferent as ever. "Spoiled brats like her can't handle the real world. She'll come crawling back once she's had her fill of hardships."Ethan was livid. "Where do you get your confidenc

Evelyn's lips curled into a cold sneer. She hung up the phone without hesitation.Clara watched the ended call. A gleam of triumph flickered in her eyes. She refused to believe that Warren wouldn't fall for her without Evelyn.At that moment, she heard Warren's pained muttering. "Evelyn, when are you coming back? I miss you so much."His words obliterated any remnants of Clara's fleeting victory. Her hands clenched into fists as anger filled her heart.Warren had seen Evelyn with Seth. Yet, he still yearned for her. She wondered if he could have truly fallen for her. She felt it was impossible as Evelyn was like a pet to him, so she thought he wouldn't have any real feelings for her.Clara's jealousy peaked as she watched Warren on the bed. He ceaselessly kissed the pillow he thought was Evelyn. Seeing this, she was determined to make him hers tonight.With that thought, a seductive smile appeared on her face. She slowly began to slide off the strap of her slip dress. However,

Hearing those words, the movement inside suddenly stopped. It appeared that whoever was inside was uncertain about how to respond to him.Warren's lips curled with a hint of mischief. "You think coming back to sleep with me and making breakfast will make me forgive you? Evelyn, you're being too optimistic!"After saying that, he pushed the door open.Just as he was about to pin the person he thought was Evelyn against the kitchen counter and punish her, he saw Winnie's face instead. He was immediately taken aback. "Oh, it's you."Winnie was holding a spatula. She playfully tapped Warren's face and laughed, "Still drunk, huh? Dreaming big this early in the morning?"Being teased by his own sister, Warren's expression darkened instantly. "Why are you here in my house?""You've got some nerves asking me that. If it weren't for me, you'd be done for!" Warren asked again, "Where's Evelyn?""Evelyn? She wouldn't give a damn about you." "That's impossible. I remembered Evelyn bring

Charlie couldn't stand Warren's peace. He decided to stir things up with a topic about Evelyn.He glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled, "Mr. Larkin, Ms. Jefferson seems to be job hunting. She's visited several companies. With her skills and beauty, if a rival company snags her up, it'd be quite a loss for us, wouldn't it?"Warren had been resting with his eyes half-closed. At Charlie's words, he slowly opened his eyes. A chill flickered through his dark pupils as he said, "Spread the word. They're welcome to sign her if they're not afraid of Larkin Corporation's retaliation."…On Friday evening, Warren went to Nexus Lounge for a business dinner. As he entered the parking lot, he spotted a familiar figure. His heart ached at the sight.Evelyn wore an avocado-green silk blouse with fashionable beige cropped pants. Her chestnut-colored curly hair fell naturally over her shoulders. She looked both professional and charming.Warren watched her intently. He wanted to find signs o

This was Evelyn's first formal encounter with Warren since their breakup. She had thought she would be calm, but seeing him reminded her of a lingering ache in her heart.Standing by her side, Tammy complained, "Yandel tricked me. He said Warren never attends these events, so I thought it would be safe to bring you here."Evelyn smiled lightly. "It's okay. We're all in Bramston City. It was bound to happen sooner or later.""Don't worry. I'll try to keep you from having to interact with him," Tammy assured.As they were about to leave, Warren's cold voice halted them. "Does Mrs. Hawkins plan to leave upon seeing me? Am I that unwelcome here? Is this how you treat your guest?"Tammy gritted her teeth. Turning around with a forced smile, she politely said, "Mr. Larkin, we're honored by your presence. Sorry for our impoliteness."Warren's gaze swept over Tammy and Evelyn. His eyes didn't reveal any emotions. "Since I wasn't properly welcomed, perhaps you should drink as penance."T

Evelyn immediately lowered her head and apologized. As she was about to turn away, that person grabbed her wrist. With a forceful pull, she found herself against a broad chest.A man's deep, husky voice came from above her. "You're willingly staying with him even after being coerced into drinking? How much do you like him?" Warren's arms held Evelyn tight against him. She couldn't move. His dark eyes burned with anger as he looked at her. He had never let her drink so much when they were together. Yet, just now, she had downed three drinks in a row to help Seth land a deal. He wondered how much she loved him to go to such lengths for him.Warren's intense gaze bore into Evelyn as though it could reduce her to ashes. Evelyn looked up at him, expressionless. "Didn't you say I can hold my liquor, Mr. Larkin? If I hadn't drunk, wouldn't it have been a slap to your face?"Evelyn's fair face was tinged with a faint blush, her eyes turning red from the alcohol. Her soft lips move

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,
