Evelyn POV

I walked into my office like a ghost, moving without purpose or direction. I didn’t really know how my feet were moving.

The hallway felt longer than usual. It was quieter, every sound was muted, as if the building itself had decided to hold its breath.

When I reached my office, I didn’t bother walking to my desk; I walked straight to the couch by the window and sat down, staring at nothing.

My company, my father’s legacy, the thing I’d fought so hard to save was gone. It wasn’t lost

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 239: Pack an overnight bag.

    Evelyn POVThe silence between us was strange.It wasn’t uncomfortable exactly, but loaded in a way that neither of us seemed to know how to unload.We'd spent the past three hours in constant motion: phone calls, revelations, Laurence's arrival, the discovery that Prescott didn't exist, the cascade of information, emotion, and crisis management that had carried us from a kerb in a parking lot to a back booth at Carmichael's. And now the motion had stopped, and we were standing still.Then I sneezed.It came out of nowhere, a sharp, involuntary burst that I caught too late with the back of my hand. And then another one, followed by a shiver that ran through me like a current."That's it," Adrian said. "I'm getting you to the car before you catch a cold."He placed his hand on the small of my back, guiding me toward the parking area. His palm was warm through the fabric of my blazer, and I let him steer me without protest.We got into the car. Adrian started the engine, and the heater

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 238: The resolution.

    Evelyn POVThe late afternoon air had cooled by the time we stepped out of Carmichael's, carrying a chill that Crescent Harbour got when the sun dropped behind the harbour-front buildings, and the breeze coming off the water had nothing left to warm it.I pulled my blazer tighter across my chest and fell into step beside Laurence Cavill."Miss Bennett," he said as we crossed the pavement toward the parking area. "I want you to hear this from me directly, not through intermediaries or emails or portfolio managers you've never met. Meridian's commitment to Green Valley Phases is intact. It has always been intact. Nobody in my organisation authorised a withdrawal, and I can assure you that whoever used my company's name to destabilise yours will be dealt with.""Thank you, Mr Cavill. That means more than I can say.""Laurence," he corrected gently. "Mr Cavill was my father, and he would have hated being confused with me. We disagreed on almost everything." He smiled, and the warmth in it

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 237: Laurence Cavill

    Adrian POVEvelyn was no longer alone. Grace had arrived while I was gone. She was sitting across from her in the booth, tablet out, speaking quickly. She looked up when I slid in beside Evelyn.“Mr Whitmore,” she said, nodding to me. “Thank you for getting to her.”"Of course." I looked at the table. Evelyn had ordered what appeared to be half the menu and was eating a piece of bread with the single-minded determination of someone whose body had finally overruled her pride. "Grace, the email and the phone records from Prescott's supposed office. What has your team found?"Grace turned the tablet toward me. The email was displayed on screen, formatted to look like a legitimate Meridian Partners communication, but the domain was off by a single character. Meridian-partnrs.com instead of meridian-partners.com. A missing letter."The domain was registered three days ago through an offshore registrar," Grace said. "No identity verification required. The registration details are fake, and

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 236: Uncle!!!

    Adrian POVI drove us to Carmichael's, a harbour-front restaurant in a converted warehouse that served comfort food. Wood-panelled walls, leather banquettes, a chalkboard menu, and a kitchen that could make you forget whatever had gone wrong before you walked through the door. I requested the back-corner booth, away from windows and other diners.Evelyn slid into the banquette and studied the menu with the focus of a woman who hadn't eaten since the previous evening and was trying to maintain some dignity about it."Order whatever you want," I said. "I need to step outside for a minute."She looked up from the menu. "Is everything okay?""Everything's fine. I need to make a couple of calls.” I stood and then paused, looking down at her. She was still blotchy and slightly swollen, and her hair was a mess, and there was a faint red mark on her ankle where the heel had rubbed it raw. She looked tired and hungry and human.Most of all, she looked beautiful.I walked out the front door, pu

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 235: Are you hungry?

    Evelyn POVI stood and extended my hand to her. She took it, her fingers cold in mine despite the warm afternoon, and I pulled her to her feet. She swayed slightly, and I steadied her, then bent to collect the scattered contents of her bag: a lipstick, tissues, her wallet, a pen with the Bennett Holdings logo. She took them and shoved them into the bag without arranging them, which told me more about her state of mind than anything she'd said.We walked to the car slowly. She was favouring one foot where the heel had rubbed her ankle raw, and I matched her pace. I opened the passenger door, waited for her to settle in, then walked around and got behind the wheel, but I didn't start the engine.We sat in the quiet for a moment. The car ticked softly as the engine cooled from the drive, and through the windshield, the Cedar Heights clubhouse glowed white against the afternoon sky."Do you want to talk about it?" I asked.She was quiet for a long time. Her eyes were fixed on the windshie

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 234: Therapy by the kerb.

    Adrian POVI was halfway through the most tedious quarterly review in the history of Whitmore Industries when Rebecca opened the boardroom door.She never opened the boardroom door or interrupted during quarterly reviews because she knew it was sacred ground. The board members were present, the finance team had prepared slides, and my standing instruction was clear: unless the building was on fire, the review was not to be disturbed.Interrupting meant the interruption was more important than every person in the room combined.She crossed to my chair and leaned down. "Sir, I’m sorry. Evelyn Bennett has called your personal phone four times in the past three minutes."Four times in three minutes.I excused myself with a brief apology that I didn’t bother making sound convincing and stepped into the corridor. Rebecca handed me the phone and went back to her desk.I frowned as I stared at the screen showing four missed calls, and all were from Evelyn, so I called back.She picked up on t

    Evelyn POV"I'm not lying," I said calmly. "And I don't need to sabotage your project. The geological data will do that all on its own. I'm just giving people the information they need to make informed decisions."I stepped away from the microphone and returned to my seat, feeling a rush of satisfa
