Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 10
Evelyn didn't even need to think before she replied, "I can do anything but that."Warren pinched her chin between two fingers and let out a soft chuckle. "But I only want this.""Warren, I don't care whether you think I had ulterior motives for approaching you. I have taken very good care of you for the past three years. I don't owe you anything. You have no reason not to let me go."He stared fixedly into Evelyn's unyielding eyes, listened to her babble, and traced the faint contours of her cleavage.His Adam's apple rolled about a couple of times.He pulled her onto his lap and rested his chin on her shoulder, his voice low and husky as he murmured, "Then, tell me in detail how you took care of me."His deep, magnetic voice sent tingles across her scalp. Meanwhile, his hands cunningly reached under her shirt.Evelyn tried her best to break away from his grip but found herself tightly bound within his arms.In dire straits, she lowered her head and sank her teeth into his sho

Evelyn raised her head to meet Warren's eyes. Her gaze was cold, and the whites of her eyes were streaked with red."So what if I am? Are you going to pin me to the operating table and force me through an abortion?"Warren's eyes dimmed. He stared fixedly at her haggard face for a good while.Moments later, he spoke up. "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?"Evelyn sneered, "Were you hoping you could have the child aborted earlier than today?""Evelyn Jefferson, can you listen to what I have to say?" Warren clutched her chin between two fingers.With red eyes, she gazed at him. "You're about to get married and have children with someone else. What does it matter if I'm pregnant myself?"Warren scrutinized Evelyn's stubborn expression and discreetly gnashed his teeth.Evelyn's attempt to wriggle free was futile as he led her by the wrist in the direction of the obstetrics and gynecology operating room.She longed to break free, but his uncompromising voice onl

Warren snapped, "You aborted our child just because I ignored you when you were throwing a tantrum? Evelyn Jefferson, how come I never knew you to be so heartless?"Evelyn glared at him with crimson eyes. "I told you, I didn't! The one who caused our baby's death is not me. It's you!""It's all written in black and white. Why are you still trying to argue?""If I told you someone tampered with the medical records, would you believe me?"Warren sneered, "Larkin Corporation runs this hospital. Once the case is entered into the database, it gets locked. Not even I can change it. You should've planned your lies in advance!"He released his grip, staring at the red marks he left on the pale skin of her neck—a piercing pain shot through his heart.Ashen-faced, Evelyn stared back at him.This was the man she had loved for seven years and took care of for three years. Yet, there never came a time when he was willing to believe the credibility of her words.Her lips pulled into a desola

After speaking, Evelyn grabbed hold of Clara's wrist.Instantly, Clara felt a piercing pain course through her body."Evelyn, my hand is not healed yet. If you dare touch me again, I'll make you regret it!"A cold sneer escaped Evelyn's lips. "Clara, don't you know that those who have nothing to lose have nothing to fear? You've set me up over and over again, and if I don't settle the score with you now, how the hell will I ever be worthy in your eyes?"You accused me of injuring your hand, causing you to forfeit in the piano competition, right? How about I fulfill your wish and let you experience a real injury?"With a forceful motion, a crisp sound echoed through the air.Clara's deafening scream followed."Ah! Evelyn Jefferson! How dare you break my hand! Do you even know how much my hands are worth? Even if you sell everything, you still won't be able to compensate me!""That's perfect—I never intended to compensate you anyway!"With another crack, another one of Clara's f

Clara's tears streamed down her face as she held up her injured hand in front of Warren.She had rushed to the hospital for treatment and hurried back, intending to confront Evelyn. Unexpectedly, she ran into this scene.It was difficult to believe that despite knowing Evelyn had miscarried their baby, Warren still treated her so well. Had her carefully devised plan failed again?While Clara cried and tried to approach Warren, he pulled away from her and held Evelyn's hand instead. His voice was devoid of emotion as he addressed Clara, "She's been with me the whole time. When could she have hurt you?"Clara was shocked to hear this. She looked at Warren incredulously, tears welling up in her eyes. "Evelyn did it in the restroom just now. Warren, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, check the surveillance footage."Warren instructed a nearby staff member, "Retrieve the surveillance footage for me."Ten minutes later, the bar manager came to apologize in person. "Mr. Lar

Warren's face darkened as he looked at her and spoke with an unfriendly tone, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. Now, you're having second thoughts and targeting my grandmother?"Evelyn was confused. She turned to the old lady beside her, asking incredulously, "He's your grandson?"Bonnie Durbin smiled and nodded. "Yes. You know each other? That's wonderful! With a foundation of affection, both of you will get along just fine."Evelyn gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm sorry, but since your family has come to pick you up, I have to leave and attend to my affairs now."Just as Evelyn stood up, Warren grabbed her wrist tightly. "You're just going to leave after hitting someone?"Evelyn sneered at him. "Mr. Larkin, don't forget, I have a dashcam in my car. Don't even think about scamming me!"Then, she turned and left without hesitation. But before she could get far, she heard Warren's icy voice."Evelyn, why go to such lengths to play this cat-and-mouse game with me?

Charlie immediately replied, "Ms. Jefferson is in your office. She's been here for half an hour."Warren felt like something had struck his chest heavily. His voice grew somber as he said, "Cancel the rest of the schedule."Then, he swiftly made his way to the office. Opening the door, he was met with the sight of a familiar figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.Evelyn was dressed simply, wearing a black T-shirt and a dark green casual skirt that showcased her long, fair legs. Her hair was loosely tied into a bun, exposing her slender neck.Warren only glanced at her, but a flame seemed to ignite in his body. He suppressed his emotions and leisurely approached her.With a low and magnetic voice, he asked, "Have you come to your senses?"Evelyn slowly turned around to face Warren, her gaze indifferent. Despite faint traces of tears on her face and lingering moisture in her eyes, her entire being exuded determination."Warren," she called out softly in a hoarse voice.S

Evelyn arrived at the police station to find Jazzie seated in the interrogation room, handcuffed. Jazzie remained composed, facing the police officers and continuously defending herself without fear.Hurriedly, Evelyn approached and politely asked, "Hello, officer. I'm her friend. What's going on?"Before the officer could respond, Jazzie jumped in. "After you disappeared yesterday, Seth went to ask his dad to help you, leaving me alone. I knew you went looking for that asshole, so I felt upset and drank at the bar. I happened to see Clara there, boasting about your dad's situation to someone."You should've seen her smug face. I couldn't help cursing at her, and that's all I did. But this morning, the cops brought me here, saying Clara's car was vandalized and they suspected me. No matter how I explain, they won't listen."At the mention of Clara, Evelyn clenched her fists tightly. She didn't need to think to know that this was Clara's usual method of framing people, just like she

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,
