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
He did not like the feeling of being addicted to something as it made him feel insecure.Evelyn turned to look at him as well. After meeting his gaze, she explained inexplicably, “It was my first time drinking last night.”He replied indifferently, “Just make it the last time, then. That way, it still has a commemorative significance.”Evelyn was dumbfounded. What was there to commemorate about being inebriated?Rowan drove away directly after he dropped Evelyn off at the hospital. Evelyn went to the cafeteria at the hospital to buy breakfast for Helena because Rowan had only prepared breakfast for the two of them this morning. Evelyn did not dare to tell Helena that she had gotten drunk and stayed in the same house as a man last night. Moreover, he had even prepared breakfast for her. Therefore, she told Helena that she felt like having toasted bread in the morning today, so she had it outside. Helena did not say anything and simply ate the breakfast that Evelyn had bought for
Barry figured that they could decide on Natalie and Jeremy’s marriage directly with this dinner and choose an auspicious date for them to get married, lest something unfavorable happened if the situation dragged on. Natalie suddenly clenched her teeth and said, “It’s Evelyn! It’s all Evelyn’s fault! She’s the one who caused Jeremy to break off his engagement with me, and she’s the one who colluded with Rowan Pierce to force you to get divorced!”The more Natalie spoke, the more agitated she was. “No, I have to go and settle the score with her!” she yelled.She turned around and was about to rush out when Barry suddenly remembered Rowan’s warning that no one was allowed to cause trouble for Evelyn again, so he quickly stopped Natalie. “Stop right there!”Frustrated, Barry said, “I’m already feeling very troubled now, so please don’t cause more trouble for me by provoking her, okay? Rowan is the only person who can help us now. The Stewarts will be done for if you offend him!”Ba
The small quarrels or outbursts between the two would never last for more than a day, let alone overnight.When Miya discussed these things with Wendy and Silvia, Wendy said that there would often be times when she and Caleb would not talk to each other and would ignore each other for several days. Silvia said that she and Ryan had quarreled and had cold wars where they would not talk to each other as well.Miya could not understand how they could have a cold war. There were times when she really wanted a Cold War, but Jason would be exceptionally annoying and would beg her for a reconciliation in various ways or even take the initiative to talk to her. Therefore, she would not be able to bear it anymore and would reconcile with him. Wendy said that it was because they were still in the honeymoon phase that he was willing to coax her. However, she believed that he would not care anymore if she was angry or not after this honeymoon phase was over. Silvia said that it was because the
Nora bit her lip and thought about Julian’s proposal, then she finally nodded in agreement and said, “Okay, I’ll ask him out for dinner one day and have a chat with him.”As a sister, Nora sincerely hoped that Rowan could be happy. Moreover, Nora felt that Rowan was at the age where he should be thinking about marriage. He was already 36 years old and would be turning 37 after the New Year. Julian did not tell Nora about Evelyn’s existence for the time being as he was confused about Rowan’s thoughts as well because of Rowan’s ambiguous attitude. One moment, he said that he had nothing to do with Evelyn, and the next moment, there were rumors during his blind date that he had a girlfriend with the last name Stewart.Julian decided to send his wife to find out news first so that Rowan would not cause trouble for him again.After dinner, Julian and Jason stayed overnight at Maton Mansion. Miya laid on Jason relaxedly in Jason’s room and said enviously, “Your family has such a good at
“Okay.”He was really a cunning man; he actually forced her to submit to him in bed!The two of them did not make much noise because they were at Maton Mansion. After it was over, the two of them hugged each other and panted softly. Miya said to him weakly, “I’m going on a business trip next week.”Jason asked casually, “Where are you going?”Miya replied calmly, “Blackstone.”“Blackstone?” Jason suddenly lost his composure. Everyone knew what Blackstone meant to Miya. She had studied there for postgraduate school, worked there, and had been hurt there. Although her ex-boyfriend had never appeared again since Miya rejected him, that did not mean that Jason could take it lightly. Moreover, Miya was the one going to Blackstone now, and it was that man’s territory, so it would be a lie to say that Jason was not nervous. He turned over and sat up on the bed as he frowned and looked at Miya seriously.“Can you not go?”Miya replied to him angrily, “This is my first business tri
