No matter what he chose, it was equivalent to losing his long-term moneymaker—Evelyn. So, if Forbos had the choice, he certainly would not choose either of them. To maintain the current status and to get some money from Evelyn from time to time was actually the most advantageous way for him. However, those people were very tough. If he didn't do as they say, they might kill him on the spot. Those people had a strong background. He couldn't afford to offend them, so he could only do as he was told. However, when he was in the factory in the afternoon, and heard from Evelyn that there were a lot of jewelry and antiques at her home, he was attracted to it at once. With so much money, how wonderful would it be if he was to have it all to himself? Back then, he was afraid to offend those people who bullied him and asked him to return the money, as he was penniless and powerless. But with such a large sum of money, they wouldn't be afraid of
How much would he get from selling so many things? The set of jewelry alone was worth tens of millions of dollars, and not to mention that there were so many calligraphy paintings here. There might be several billion here! He really made a fortune, really made a fortune! As he realized the enormous surprises and wealth, Forbos was so excited that his face turned red. Evelyn, on the other hand, was tied up in the bedroom, and she could not move her hands and feet. Only the sound of Forbos scavenging over the boxes and cabinets could be heard in another room. There was a hanging clock on the wall, ticking away. She looked up feebly, and it had been four minutes since she entered the house. Although there were a lot of things, they were all placed neatly, so it was not difficult to pack them up. A few minutes was enough! Therefore, he might not be able to make it in time. Even when she had put in so much effort and think of every pos
At the moment, Marty had no idea that Forbos had killed so many people, as he thought Evelyn was scared because she had been kidnapped. Hence, with a nod, he reached out to hold her hand to comfort her. Then, he turned to Aria and ordered coldly, "Take him away and call the police. When they arrive, ask them to lock him up first and I will deal with everything later." Upon hearing the order, Aria nodded. "Yes." With that, he escorted the group of people away. While being escorted away, Forbos wanted to say something, but Aria immediately stuffed his mouth so he couldn't speak. As Marty looked back at Evelyn again, he asked with concern, "How do you feel now? Is there any injury on your body?" Hearing that, Evelyn shook her head. "I'm fine. He didn't hurt me." Except for the discomfort caused by her hands and feet being tied up for a long time, she was not injured at all. After knowing she was fine, Marty was relieved and ord
After Marty left, Evelyn went to take a bath. When she came out of the shower, Carrie had already prepared the food for her. After suffering for over a day, in truth, she was completely exhausted both physically and mentally, and she had no energy to do anything. Because Marty had thought of that, he told her to rest at home while he went to find out more about the situation. Everything should wait until tomorrow after she had a good rest. Indeed, Evelyn was hungry at that moment. When she saw the delicious food, she picked up her chopsticks without hesitation and began to eat. When Carrie knew that she had returned safely, she was very happy. So during dinner, Carrie kept talking to her, trying to help relieve the boredom. At this moment, Carrie's cell phone rang suddenly. Evelyn's cell phone had been taken away by Forbos, and when they caught him, they hadn't had time to find it, so she didn't have a phone with her now. Tak
"Evelyn, how are you? Are you alright?" As soon as Jeffrey was released, he immediately ran to Evelyn. Knitting her brows slightly, she took a step back subconsciously when it came to facing Jeffrey's enthusiasm. In an instant, Jeffrey's hands, which were about were about to reach out to hug her, were left hanging in the air. Looking at him, Evelyn pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Upon hearing her alienated tone, it made Jeffrey's body stiffen a little. As if realizing something, he slowly put his hands down, and after a moment, he forced a smile. "It's good to know that you're alright. I was just worried about you, so I came over to check on you." Hearing that, Evelyn nodded. Then, they stopped talking. The atmosphere was very awkward. They used to be good friends who talked to each other about everything, but now they had nothing to talk about anymore. Even though she had so ma
The atmosphere in the car fell into silence. And no one spoke again. When the car stopped in front of the Lavender villa, Evelyn was about to ask Marty to get off the car, but she turned her head and realized that Marty's head was leaning against the car window. Somehow, he had already fallen asleep. Slightly stunned and surprised, she looked at the faint dark circles under his eyes, and felt sorry. Meanwhile, the driver didn't know that Marty was asleep, so he wanted to call him, but was stopped by Evelyn. Putting a finger to her lips, she shushed him. Seeing this, the driver quickly covered his mouth. Then, Evelyn shoved a pillow gently under his head, and asked the driver to bring her a clean shirt to put it over his body. After that, she got out of the car and said to the driver, "Let him sleep for a while. Don't disturb him." The driver glanced at Evelyn, then looked at Marty, who fast asleep in the car, and felt helpless.
Pursing her lips, Evelyn comforted. "This has nothing to do with you, mom. There are so many douchebags in this world. We can't expect ourselves to be lucky all the time and not meet any of them, right? Furthermore, now that he has been arrested, it will not happen again. Don't blame yourself any more." Only then did her mother respond with a peace of mind. Then, Evelyn hung up the phone after telling her what she should look out for when signing the divorce agreement. At nine o'clock in the evening, Marty came back. Meanwhile, Evelyn was sending away Carrie, who had come to deliver some things. Before she entered the house, she noticed a familiar car approaching. So she came to a halt and waited for the car to approach her, after which she curled her lips slightly. When Marty got out of the car, Aria was following behind. Besides, Aria brought over a suitcase. Afterward, Marty explained, "I heard from Carrie that she was going to bring
But how could Evelyn be at ease? She had been through so much, and he literally knew everything about her, including her family background and past. Everyone knew about them. Would she really get the love she deserved if she pursued without reservation? Marty's eyes darkened as he noticed her hesitation. Then, he reached out and gently touched her eyes with his finger. "Don't look at me like that, Evelyn. It will break my heart." In the quiet night, his voice was hoarse, with a hint of a wonderful but helpless sigh. It was the first time she had heard him speak in this tone. He had always been high-spirited, but now he held her in his arms and sighed wearily. For some reason, the rims of Evelyn's eyes felt a little sore. She struggled for a moment. Fortunately, Marty did not continue hugging her, so she could finally stand up. Evelyn took a step back and avoided looking at him. She simply lowered her gaze and forced a sm
