LOGINA slight similarity might be due to similar ideas, but it was simply impossible for the proportions of the medications to be exactly the same!Evelyn Hart had assumed Professor Winston Hale would be resting at such a late hour, and she thought she should go back and rest too, so she could keep fighting a tough battle tomorrow.But less than three minutes later, the professor sent a message.Teacher: Please come to my office.Evelyn was a little surprised, but she didn't waste time and hurried over.She knocked and went in."Teacher, you haven't rested yet.""What happened to your face?"They spoke at the same time.Evelyn was a little embarrassed. She raised a hand to touch her still-burning cheek. "There was a small incident, but it's been resolved."As she spoke, she caught a faint scent of medicine.It smelled somewhat familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had smelled it before."I saw your message, and I've already had Claire brought over," the professor said.
"Can you stop being unreasonable?" Damien Blackwood said. "I only see Stella as a younger sister. She isn't as bad as you think."He shouldn't have needed to explain any of this to Evelyn Hart in the first place.But now that things had come to this, he was displeased.Evelyn was ultimately too pretentious and lacked any sense of propriety."Stella has suffered since she was a child and had a hard life. Now she's sick, so it's only right that I take care of her. As for you, you just can't stand to see Stella doing well."Evelyn rolled her eyes and stopped talking.There was no need to waste her breath on him.But he took her silence as guilt and acquiescence.His tone grew even less friendly. "Don't you feel any gratitude toward Stella? If it weren't for what she suffered, you'd be the one lying in a hospital bed begging for survival right now."Evelyn couldn't help but smile.Gratitude.Toward Stella.Was she really happy now?A woman who couldn't even protect her own child. Should s
Eleanor Blackwood gritted her teeth, unwilling to speak.She had lived a smooth life for half her years, and now she not only had to apologize to someone of the younger generation, she was being filmed doing it. It was humiliating!"Madam, if we don't reach a settlement now, you might have to go to jail." The lawyer pushed up his glasses and began laying out the pros and cons. "Even if we pull some strings, it will take time. It's impossible to go in and be released the same day.""Mother, once you're really inside, it won't be as easy as you think, like a vacation," Damien Blackwood said. "There won't be a luxury mattress for you. You can't bathe every day, and there won't be any servants to wait on you."A flicker of mockery crossed Evelyn Hart's eyes.Even now, Damien was coaxing Eleanor to apologize, and the reason wasn't that she'd done something wrong and needed to change. It was that once inside, she wouldn't be able to enjoy herself anymore.How ironic!After weighing the pros
The lawyer instantly wiped the faint smile from his face.He had Evelyn Hart's contact information. When he opened the video, the screen showed her being pinned to the bed by two maids.Then Eleanor Blackwood's voice came through.It was evidence, and irrefutable evidence at that."Mr. Blackwood," the lawyer said gravely, "if Miss Hart submits this evidence, I'm afraid..."Someone could actually go to jail.Though only a phone had been taken and quickly returned, robbery was robbery, and it was a serious crime.If Evelyn refused to withdraw the case, things could become very complicated.Damien Blackwood asked calmly, "What do you want?"Now they were asking what she wanted. Why hadn't they stopped Eleanor in the first place?It was simply because they believed she had no powerful backers and could make no trouble!"I'll follow the police's instructions." Evelyn's voice was cold. "Whatever the police decide, I'll accept it.""Son! Don't beg Evelyn!" Eleanor jumped up. "Who does she th
When she heard it was a robbery, the policewoman's tone grew even more serious."Are you safe right now? Have you been threatened? Where are you?"Evelyn Hart gave her address."All right. Please wait a moment. We'll be right there."The policewoman hung up, indignant. "I can't believe security in wealthy neighborhoods is this bad! Someone got robbed in her own home!""Let's hurry over. Don't let her worry about it all alone!"---The police sirens were especially loud.Especially so late at night, when they drove straight up to the front of the Blackwood estate.Damien Blackwood was just about to rest when someone knocked at the door.Maid: "Sir, the police are here."Evelyn heard the noise and quickly opened her door. "I called the police!"Her eyes were red and swollen. She had obviously been crying.The policewoman who had taken her call rushed over to check on her. "Are you hurt anywhere? Do you remember the face of the person who robbed you?"Evelyn nodded. "I remember!""That's
Damien Blackwood's expression darkened slightly, and he tapped his fingers on the table. "Do you know what you're saying?""Of course."Evelyn Hart studied him, too.He was as aloof and arrogant as ever, his face and figure still top-notch.The only thing that had changed was that she no longer cared.She turned and went back to her room, locking the bedroom door behind her.Eleanor Blackwood's face was deathly pale, and her anger peaked when she saw the leftover food on the table.Who did Evelyn think she was?She was supposed to be treated well!Evelyn wasn't even a Hart by blood, and there wasn't a single thing about her that pleased anyone, yet she still dared to treat them like this!"Damien, look at her! Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd married a queen to worship!""If the old man hadn't insisted on keeping her, I would have thrown her out long ago!"Damien's expression darkened. "She has a connection to Dawn. That's why Grandfather wants me to stay married to her
