LOGINStefan played along, "Yes, yes, do give us a grandchild. Your grandfather and the whole family are waiting!"Cynthia added, "Besides, it's not like you actually want to divorce him, right? So, just take a step back and make the marriage real."Hazel stared at her parents in shock. She gasped. "Are you mad? You want me to have Evan's babies?"Stefan's face fell. "We're not mad. Everyone wants this! If you don't take your shot, you'll lose your golden window!"Cynthia grumbled, "Yeah, my friends are already grandmothers. How am I supposed to hold my head up high if you refuse to give me grandbabies?"Her parents were both pressuring her, and Hazel turned grim. "Come on, Mom. You know you can't force something like this. It has to happen naturally. Evan and I…"Stefan interrupted her before she could get far, "It is natural! As long as you're still married, you need to do your duty as a wife! That's what marriage means! Now drop that application and have sex with Evan! Don't be so s
Evan wouldn't have bothered going after Cain if Cain had left him out of it once his innocence was proven. Alas, that fool wanted to shackle him to the Solbergs for life. His actions had made it so that his name was on top of Evan's hit list. That was because Hazel had stupidly assumed she now had power over Evan because of his threat.Evan knew a lot of people were tailing him. Gabriel's men and the Norwoods. So, he also knew that they would make a move against him once they found out he'd left the Solbergs or divorced Haze. A sneer twisted Evan's lips. He ignored the stalkers."Sure, tail me. The divorce is happening in a week anyway."…The heiresses came back to Nine Courts. They told Zeke about their encounter, and it still filled them with satisfaction."Did you see his face when you stepped on the gas and splashed him all over with mud? He was stunned!"The heiresses wouldn't stop talking about that moment. It still tickled their hearts, and they laughed. They thought, '
Josephine was venting her rage. Alice took a deep breath."I felt a little remorse about framing him, but not anymore. It doesn't matter how well we got along. His actions just proved that people who don't share your blood will always betray you.""Yes, he thought he ruined us, but he was used.""I have no respect for him! We might be disgraced, but we will never regret exiling him!""Yeah!"Everyone was of the same mind."I want to kill that b*stard!" Rage had gotten to James, and he spewed more blood. Everyone called Evan an ingrate and a pawn of the enemy. Darius' competitors were just here to make things harder for him. Nothing more.Now that they had no power or money, it was only natural for their enemies to come after them. Darius had been oppressing them for so long, so now they wanted payback.The Norwoods had a sick grin on their faces. "We might be suffering, but he's not getting his happily ever after either. He's leaving the Solbergs eventually. Cain will have his
The Norwoods' expressions fell."Yeah, he doesn't have the power or connections to get the evidence! He must've had help!"The Norwoods' faces fell. Fear and terror had overwhelmed them when Evan produced the evidence. Now that they were safe, they realized that someone must've helped Evan procure the evidence. He couldn't have found it himself.Not even the Norwoods could find that kind of evidence! So, who was the one who provided help? The Norwoods had a feeling that an invisible force was pushing the whole case forward. They had to find the mastermind, or they would never rest easy.Someone spoke. "I know who it is!"Everyone turned and laid their eyes on Darius. James and the others were surprised. "You do?"Darius nodded darkly. "It has to be my competitors." He let out a long sigh.James and the sisters were stunned. "Your competitors? But you've ruled them out.""Yeah, you think they're beneath you!"They had that discussion after the last dinner. In the end, they rule
Evan's only way out was to stay with them. That meant Evan must do as they told him to. He had to stay with them and cease causing them trouble. The thought filled the heiresses with ecstasy. Evan was getting out of control lately. He had defied them over and over again. The heiresses were more than annoyed.Zeke was watching the show too. He smiled, but his smile was cold and dark. Something chilling gleamed in his eyes. "That's your fate, Evan. You'll have to give me your blood all your life, or I'll make Hazel kick you out!"Back in the Norwood estate, everyone was looking at Evan with sympathy. James, Josephine, the sisters, and the Norwoods' main branch were looking at him with cruel satisfaction. There was no doubt that they were saying, 'You might have ruined us, but you shot yourself in the foot too!'Darius, who was hiding behind everyone, looked like a ravenous beast. He knew about Evan's situation. The Solbergs' heiress didn't care about him, and they were about to ge
"Oh no, he's still in danger." Stefan and Cynthia thought Evan would be fine after clearing his name, but Cain wanted to go after the Norwoods and the people related to them. Although he had chosen not to go after Evan, it also meant that Evan had to stay with the Solbergs forever.Stefan and Cynthia wouldn't have been concerned over such minor details in the past, but things had changed. Evan and the Solbergs were no longer family, which was a problem. After all, Cain would go after Evan once the truth came to light."Fortunately, we've kept Evan and Hazel's impending divorce under wraps. I'm sure things will be fine as long as we keep this to ourselves." Stefan forced himself to calm down.Cynthia was nowhere near as easy to convince. "But Hazel wants to divorce Evan!"Stefan froze. Cynthia was right. After all, it wouldn't matter to the public or Cain if Hazel and Evan got a divorce due to marital problems. What they cared about was the fact that Evan would have no ties to the
As expected, Sylvie found Evan at Port Silver.The winds were fierce, making Evan's clothes snap in the air. However, his silhouette appeared even more frail and thin."Evan."Sylvie softly called out to him as she walked over to stand beside him, staring out at the water with him.Evan was surp
The villas of Nine Courts were considered the most lavish in Silverton.As per its name, there were only nine villas in the area. Its location was amazing, with rumors saying there was mysterious energy of ancient times. For Evan, it was exactly the training ground he needed right now.However, th
"Tell us. Just why did you hit Zeke?"Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya were glaring at Evan with clenched fists and rage in their eyes.Evan's smile turned icy as he indifferently replied, "I did it because I wanted to. Nothing more to it."I only hit him once, and you act like the world was ending. How
Everyone cursed Caleb under their breath. The man was shameless—he would even use his own daughter to recruit Evan."Caleb, isn't that a bit low?" someone sneered. "You're really offering up your own flesh and blood?"Another voice joined in.Every face turned gloomy. No need to ask—another perso
