Chapter 205 A Banquet with Hidden Intentions

Author: J.J. Twelve
Stefan told him there was a banquet the following evening that he had to attend.

"A banquet? What banquet?"

Evan froze.

'Another banquet? Is it going to be like the last one?'

"It's a very important dinner. I've invited a lot of relatives and friends, so Evan, you absolutely have to come! And don't worry—it won't be like last time. I promise."

Stefan repeatedly emphasized how important the banquet was and assured him repeatedly that this time would be different.

"Alright. I'll go."

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 214 From Nobility to Beggars

    The once-magnificent Eisenberg Castle was also no more. In its place stood decay and desolation, the grounds overrun with weeds. Even the front gates had been sealed shut.Because they could not repay five times the value of the drakeblood gemstone, every business and asset under the Norwood family's name had been seized and mortgaged at equivalent value.They didn't even have a home anymore. They were now sleeping beneath a bridge.Cain's words had carried the force of law. When he declared the Norwood family would become beggars, they truly became beggars. Overnight, they had fallen from lives of wealth and privilege to the bottom of society.For people who had long been accustomed to luxury and indulgence, the humiliation was worse than death. That very night, two members of the family couldn't endure the shock and jumped from a building.No one even bothered to clear the bodies. They were already beginning to rot, flies buzzing around them. And yet, this was only the beginning

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 213 The Choice Between Pride and Survival

    They were all sent by the Norwood family.Darius had already learned certain things about Evan and knew that Evan and Hazel's relationship had long since begun to crack. Divorce was only a matter of time.He was desperate to get solid proof.'If the Norwood family is sinking, then don't expect to live in peace either!' he mused.But the ones under the greatest pressure right now were the Solbergs. They had intended to use this opportunity to keep Evan with them forever, yet Zeke had ruined everything. The result was a complete uproar throughout Silverton's upper circle.Whether it was the fact that Hazel's former love had barged into the Solberg family's banquet, or that Hazel had run after Zeke in front of everyone without a thought for her husband's dignity, the Solbergs had been thoroughly humiliated.The irony was crushing.Now the whole circle was gossiping about Hazel, calling her shameless and disloyal.Even Stefan's reputation had begun to suffer. As the saying went—a

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 212 A Banquet in Ruins

    "Exactly. If I were Evan, I'd walk out without looking back.""This is ridiculous!"Some of the guests had finally had enough and began criticizing openly.The murmurs and accusations made Stefan's vision go dark, and he nearly passed out.This wasn't what he intended at all!Everything was ruined.The plan they had carefully arranged to reconcile the two had been completely destroyed—all because of Zeke.Evan said nothing this whole time. As he watched the entire scene unfold, a cold smile slowly appeared on his lips.In that earlier situation, he had truly been cornered, but who'd have thought Zeke would show up and solve the problem for him?Still, Evan could not help muttering under his breath, "Some old habits really never change…"Cynthia happened to hear the remark.Her legs gave out instantly. She dropped to the floor with a thud, staring at Evan as her voice shook. "E-Evan… let me explain. Hazel, she—""No need." Evan simply grinned and looked at Stefan and Cynthia

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 211 The Man Who Shouldn't Have Come

    "Stop!"The furious shout cracked through the room like a bolt of thunder, freezing everyone where they stood.Even Hazel instinctively turned around with the rest of the crowd.The man himself had not appeared yet, but his voice had already reached them.Anya finally let out a long breath. He had made it in time.From her point of view, she absolutely did not want Hazel to have a baby with Evan—because he did not deserve that.Cain had already spoken. Would Evan even dare refuse now?If the outcome was already certain, then paying such a huge price for it simply wasn't worth it.But Stefan and Cynthia had invited members of both the Golden family and the Leighton family. It would have been inappropriate for them to step in directly, so they had no choice but to let Zeke stop everything.Anya had thought he wouldn't make it, yet somehow, he arrived at the very last moment.With a loud bang, the banquet hall doors were shoved open.A figure stormed in, burning with fury."Ze

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 210 A Kiss That Was Never Meant to Happen

    Yet Hazel was preparing to have a baby with another man.Zeke snapped.Rage nearly swallowed him whole.Although he believed Hazel was only doing this to gain better control over Evan so she could continue using him as a source of blood, the price was far too high.Zeke didn't even bother grabbing the medicine anymore. He stormed out in fury, jumped into his car, and sped off."Evan, I'm not dead yet," he muttered through clenched teeth. "You think you can climb your way up and have a child with Hazel? Did you even ask for my permission?"His face twisted with barely contained rage.He slammed the accelerator to the floor. The engine roared like a wild beast as the car shot forward, overtaking one vehicle after another.At that moment, the violent fury in Zeke's heart erupted completely.In his mind, Evan had always been nothing more than a substitute.Everything Evan had enjoyed over the past three years had originally belonged to him, and it should all be taken back.He wa

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 209 Pushed to the Edge

    Roxanne was stunned.Hazel was just as shaken.The banquet had been arranged with such solemn grandeur that they had both assumed Evan was about to apologize.Instead, Stefan had publicly announced that Hazel and Evan were preparing to have a baby.The shock was overwhelming.What made it even more unbelievable was that Roxanne and Hazel spent time together almost every day, yet she had never heard a word about this.Hazel had never mentioned it once.Roxanne suddenly felt her throat go dry. Her head spun, and when she looked at Hazel, her vision almost seemed to blur."Hazel, this isn't true, is it? You and Evan are actually trying for a baby?"She simply couldn't believe it. She pressed the question again, even her tone turning a little sharp."I… I…"But Hazel didn't deny it right away.Instead, she looked flustered and hesitant. She even avoided Roxanne’s eyes, guilt written all over her face.That alone was enough to show that something was wrong.Hazel felt as if sh

    "Ms. Stanton? Are you referring to Ivana Stanton?"Roxanne didn't know Sylvie, but her mind immediately jumped to Ivana when she heard Artemisia ask about a certain "Ms. Stanton"."It's nothing." Artemisia shut her mouth, but a storm was raging within her.They were still in the divorce cooling-o

    'Well, would you look at that… Ms. Stanton has an incredible figure with curves in all the right places. She definitely lived up to her name of being sylph-like.'Sylvie was slender, completely different from Ivana, who embodied a mature, alluring kind of beauty.Evan had already noticed her figur

    But that single syllable was enough to make the ladies' hearts drop. They knew Graham had been trying to say Evan's name."What happened to him?"Graham then opened his eyes. With all his strength, he raised his hand and pointed at the open window. His throat moved as he tried to make a sound.Th

    Hugo was about to say something when a soft clink sounded behind him. Evan had finished his food.The man put his utensils down and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He was going to leave, but everyone's eyes were now on him."Hm?" Hugo turned around, momentarily caught off guard. Evan had barely reg
