After hearing Barry's explanation, Rowan nodded in apparent understanding."Tigers might be fierce, but they wouldn't harm or eat their own offspring. Tell me, Mr. Stewart... There are some among us humans—well, parents, to be exact—who repeatedly push their children into miserable and helpless situations. Are such people worse than animals?"Rowan's words indirectly imply that Barry was less than an animal.Barry couldn't pretend not to understand, and his expression darkened immediately.Barry was in a predicament, but Rowan's repeated sarcasm and taunting got on his nerves. Moreover, Rowan was younger than he was! But wanting to get angry and actually having the courage and presence to do so were two different things.In the company of a man like Rowan, most men would pale in comparison. He possessed a handsome and captivating appearance, an elegant and distinguished demeanor, as well as experience and depth. His every move exuded the poise of a mature man. More important
Barry thought that he would finally be able to talk to Rowan about how he would help him after he had agreed to his request. Unexpectedly, Rowan said again, “What I just said is just a warning.”Barry was dumbfounded. Rowan felt extremely pleased when he looked at Barry’s helpless expression where he could only hold back his anger. However, this was not all. This was just the start, and there was still more to come. He picked up the teapot on the side and took the initiative to pour another cup of tea for Barry. He suddenly lowered his tone again and said, “Mr. Stewart, you must know of my identity. I’m my father’s illegitimate son, and my father is currently in a loving relationship with Madam Ophelia. It is destined that I will never be able to enjoy the warmth of a family with both my parents in my life.”Barry could not understand what Rowan was trying to get at, and he could only look at Barry in confusion. Rowan sneered and continued, “So, when looking for my other half, I
Rowan finally felt the suffocating depressing feeling dissipating as he thought of this. He drove back to the company directly and focused on his work.As soon as he arrived at the company, he received a report on today’s interview from the Human Resources Department. Evelyn’s name was on the list for the second interview in three days.Rowan chuckled lightly. These personnel were all talented people. He had simply recommended her for an interview, and they seemed to have understood something.In fact, part of the reason he had recommended her was due to some personal emotional factors, but the most important thing was because he valued her talent, so he wanted to give her a chance. There was nothing he could do if she did not seize the opportunity herself. However, he did not want her to be criticized because of her relationship with him if she came in to work, so he responded to the report by the Human Resources Department with an email that emphasized: ‘Designers should be chos
There was no pretense at all, and she was straightforward because she knew that what Evelyn needed the most at the moment was money. Money could help Evelyn more than any other gifts at this time. Evelyn accepted the envelope. True friends were like this. They did not need to work hard to please each other, but sometimes, the most direct form of love was the most precious. She took the beer home, tidied up the house briefly, took a shower, and changed into a fresh set of home clothes. She did not wear a bra because she was ready for bed and would not be going out anymore.She then sat on the sofa and started drinking. She had already had dinner, and she could not eat anymore, so she did not prepare any appetizers. She simply drank directly from the beer bottle. Besides, appetizers were only prepared for veteran drinkers; a novice such as herself would not think that the beer tasted good even if it was paired with sumptuous appetizers. Evelyn drank gallantly, and she was basicall
Evelyn struggled in confusion as she said, “I want to drink water.”All her protests were cut off by the intense kiss in the next second. Evelyn’s entire consciousness was filled with chaos, and her breath was filled with the cool breath that was unique to mature men. Even though she could barely open her eyes to see the person in front of her clearly, her consciousness was instantly submerged in his hot breath and lingering kiss.Before this, Evelyn had no experience in such intimacy aside from that night, so she was no match for him. Her whole body went limp when he kissed her. Evelyn had been drugged that night, so the extremely strong drug in her body had made her take the initiative to hug Rowan’s neck and kiss his lips, but she was passive and helpless now, and everything was under Rowan’s control.Rowan’s lips lingered on hers before he started kissing her neck. One of his hands was already under her shirt as he touched and enjoyed the woman’s body to the fullest. Rowan w
How could he have helped her to relieve the effects of such a potent drug if his skills were not good?He asked her another question that had always been weighing on his mind. “Why didn’t you hand over the evidence that you have to clear your name?”“You don’t understand…” She did not seem to reject this question very much. She turned to face him again and even opened her eyes in a drunken state for a while, then she laughed as she looked at him and said, “We have to wait to take out the most important evidence at the most important occasion in order to deal a fatal blow to them.”Evelyn burped as she spoke of her plan intermittently. Rowan was a little surprised at first before he chuckled silently. He had been angry at her for not presenting the evidence in the first place, but he was satisfied with her explanation now. It was true. Her reputation had been completely ruined that night, so the evidence might not have any effect even if she had taken it out.However, if Evelyn
He did not answer Evelyn’s question at all and simply used the harshness in his tone to force Evelyn to take a step back. She continued to question him. “W-What do you mean?”He looked at her meaningfully, then he turned around gracefully and picked up the two empty beer bottles from the side of the sofa. He placed them on the coffee table in front of her as he recounted her stupidity. “You got drunk at home in the middle of the night and casually opened the door for just anyone to enter. You were so drunk that you lost consciousness and had no sense of safety at all. I deliberately kept the evidence in case you would deny it.”His teasing words made Evelyn feel embarrassed. Did he have to do that? He even retained the evidence. She was not the kind of person who would refuse to admit her guilt.Evelyn’s eyes were fixed on the two bottles of beer. She suddenly remembered buying two bottles of beer from the supermarket at the entrance of the neighborhood last night. She could not c
He glanced at her and replied, “There’s no rule that a birthday wish can’t be given later, right? Things that come later might still be the best.”He looked at her calmly as he said this sentence at the last moment. Evelyn was completely confused. She did not know what he meant by this.‘Things that come later might still be the best.’Even though she did not understand why he was suddenly saying these things, she still felt that his words were very warm, so she asked him blankly, “Why are you so nice to me? Why are you helping me like this again and again?”She asked him the question that she had always wanted to ask him, then she quietly waited for his answer. He frowned slightly and seemed to be amused as he asked, “When was I nice to you?”Evelyn was dumbfounded. Didn’t he help her again and again? Wasn’t this being nice to her?He said with great interest, “This is me being nice to you? Your standard is really too low, then.”He did not answer her question at all and prev
