Chapter 23 Ignored Efforts

Author: J.J. Twelve
Everything happened in a flash. Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya did not even have time to react before it was all over.

Zeke was sent flying away.

Silence fell.

Even the air was still.

It was not just Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya who were shocked. Evan himself was surprised as well.

He had only punched on instinct, yet it was so strong.

It seemed the Ninefold Arcane Arts had truly transformed him.

"Zeke!"

The three heiresses' shrill screeches snapped Evan back to reality.

He watched as the women r

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 217 Pride Versus Regret

    She clutched her head, on the verge of breaking down.This was truly a dead end.She felt guilty toward Evan, and she knew she had deeply hurt him at the banquet. But at that moment, she simply hadn't been able to think about anything else. There was no way she could handle both men at the same time. In the heat of the moment, her entire attention had been on Zeke—how could she possibly spare a thought for Evan?Now that everything had already happened, Hazel wanted to make it up to him. But she had no idea how. Her mind felt like a tangled mess."Hazel, you can't blame yourself for this. With Zeke's temper, he was bound to come and cause a scene the moment he found out. You did the right thing by calming him down first. Evan just happened to get the short end of the stick.""Exactly. It's not that big a deal. Just go explain things to Evan. He loves you so much—he'll definitely forgive you!"Roxanne and Anya both tried to comfort her.Anya, especially, was casual about the

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 216 When Regret Comes Too Late

    'Unbelievable!'"Who said I was trying for a baby with her? I didn't even know about that beforehand. I was tricked into going…" Evan explained helplessly."What? Tricked into going?" The two women froze."Exactly. If I'd known in advance, do you think I would've shown up? What a mess…" Evan was genuinely annoyed. Not only had he been misunderstood, but he had also made a complete fool of himself."I knew it! I knew you would never ditch the two of us and go looking for that old hag!" Estelle glanced at Sylvie before adding, "Honestly, if you picked this old hag here, fine—but Hazel? That old hag is absolutely out of the question!""Watch your mouth, Laurent. Don't lump me together with her. That's disgusting!" Sylvie snapped, instantly bristling.The two women relaxed after hearing the explanation, but they still issued a warning."But Evan, if something like this happens again, call us. We'll go with you."Evan was rendered at a loss for words. 'Bring you two along? The place

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 215 The Norwoods' Twisted Satisfaction

    The reason they had sent people to monitor Evan was simple—to gather proof that he had broken ties with the Solberg family.And now, they finally had it."At the banquet, the Solberg family originally planned to announce that Evan and Hazel were preparing to have a child. But then Zeke suddenly barged in and caused a huge scene. When it came down to choosing between Evan and Zeke, Hazel ultimately chose Zeke!"After hearing the servants recount the entire incident, Darius burst into loud laughter. James, Josephine, and the triplets no longer wore expressions of despair and collapse. Instead, they were laughing just as wildly."The Solberg family tried to be clever and ended up humiliating themselves!"They immediately grasped the true nature of what had happened."I told you that so long as Zeke existed, Hazel would never stay with Evan!""That kid is nothing but a joke in front of Zeke!""Stefan tried to prove that brat was one of theirs through this stunt, but instead, he sho

  • 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

    Estelle's companions all assumed she was talking about the rejection that had just happened, and collectively gasped. However, Estelle had been referring to something else entirely.Two days earlier, her father had tried to introduce her to a potential political marriage. Yet, she'd been rejected.

    'What is all this?'Never mind that Evan had no plans to get married anytime soon—things with Sylvie were already complicated, and now, it was the same with Estelle. He had only met her twice. And most importantly, he was divorced."But I've already been married once…" Evan finally managed."So w

    That also meant that Roxanne still had the right to ask them for help.…The Leighton Estate looked grand at first glance, but anyone who remembered the past knew that Leighton Pharmaceuticals had been far more glorious three years earlier.Back then, every branch of the family lived in sprawling

    He instinctively recalled the old, time-worn photo printed on that admission letter—the photo of the girl who single-handedly boosted Silverton University's enrollment rate by 20%, the extraordinary young woman who even made Sylvie feel pressured by her presence.A sleepy, bare-faced girl ambled do
