The return of the Heiress chapter thirty one
Chapter thirty one.Evelyn's POV.As Olivia ranted on, she didn't notice the police officers sneaking up behind her. I caught her attention with a mischievous smile, gesturing for her to turn around. Her eyes widened as she took in the scene, and she flinched when she saw the officers.The officers swiftly handcuffed her, announcing, "You're under arrest for being an accomplice to attempted murder." Olivia's eyes darted to me, her face contorted in shock and anger."Evelyn, you did—" she began, but her voice trailed off as I smiled smugly. "Yes, I pressed the charges," I said, my voice calm and collected.Olivia's face turned red with rage as she snarled, "You betrayed me!" She lunged forward, trying to reach me, but the officers pulled her back.I stared at her, my smile unwavering. "This is what betrayal tastes like, darling," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Why are you complaining? I just gave you a taste of your own medicine.”Olivia's face contorted in rage as she hurled

Chapter thirty two.Alex’s POV."Evelyn," I said, but before I could process anything, she pressed her lips to mine.I gasped in surprise and pulled away immediately. What's happening? Evelyn laughed, clearly drunk, and leaned in to kiss me again. "Evelyn, stop," I said firmly.But she shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears. "No, I won't," she slurred.She began to sob, her words tumbling out in a despairing whisper. "No one likes me... everyone hates me."I tried to comfort her, opening my arms. "Shh, Evelyn, come closer."But she flinched away, still crying. I wished she wouldn't drink so much ."Evelyn, stop crying," I said, trying to sound firm, but it came out more like a plea. I had more important things to do, but I was stuck here with her.I pulled her close and hugged her, patting her back. "I'm here, I don't hate you," I said softly.But as soon as the words left my lips, she pulled away, her face twisted in a frown. "You hate me. You're always grumpy, your face

Chapter thirty three.Evelyn's POV.I groaned, slowly opening my eyes. My head felt heavy, and I shut them again, trying to shake off the haze. When I opened them again, everything was blurry. I closed my eyes once more and tried again, this time focusing slowly.As my vision cleared, I struggled to sit up, looking around the unfamiliar room. It didn't resemble my room or Ethan's. This room was larger, painted a soft pink, with white curtains.My gaze wandered to the king-size bed, which was also pink, including the bedsheets. The dressing table matched the pink theme. For a moment, I thought my drunkenness was playing tricks on me. I closed my eyes and opened them again – everything still looked the same."Where am I?" I wondered, feeling a surge of panic. I can't remember anything from yesterday aside me going home after the court case.I wanted to call out for help, but a part of me suspected I might be kidnapped, and alerting whoever was holding me might not be the best idea.I

Chapter thirty four.Alex's POV.Her face turned cold, and I chuckled. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" I asked, but she remained silent, staring at me. I continued, "I'm only asking you to defend me for money laundering and drugs. Why are you acting like I'm proposing?"Her expression changed, and she finally spoke up. "Did you get involved in money laundering and drugs?" she asked.I nodded. "Yes, I did. And there's evidence, thanks to your father," I said, my anger rising.She looked confused. "My father? What does he have to do with this?" she asked.I wanted to confront her about her father's past actions, which had ruined my family. But I bit my tongue, knowing this wasn't the time for banters."Your father didn't get the facts straight," I said, my anger boiling over. "He accused my family of money laundering and drugs, pressed charges, and manipulated the outcome. We were wrongly convicted."As expected, she defended her father, saying; “My father would never lie. He's a
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-14The return of the Heiress chapter thirty five
Chapter thirty five.Evelyn's POV.I couldn't believe what Alex had said. If my dad had pressed charges against his family for money laundering and drugs, it meant they were guilty. I couldn't defend someone who had committed such crimes. That would make me no better than Ethan and Olivia.Moreover, my dad had brought the charges, and Alex was expecting me to call him a liar. That was something I couldn't do.I slammed my hands against the wall, cursing my own stupidity. "Damn it!" I exclaimed, wincing in pain. Defending Alex would ruin my law firm's reputation - too much was at stake.I had to get out. Taking a deep breath, I headed to the window. The second-floor drop was risky, but I didn't care. Staying with Alex was already a nightmare.I closed my eyes, feeling a wave of desperation. Could I ever find happiness? It seemed like every time I thought I could, something came crashing down. I was allergic to happiness, it seemed. With a surge of anger, I prepared to make my escape.

Chapter thirty six.Evelyn's POV.I took the phone and my eyes widened in shock. There was a picture of Alex kissing my cheek, and I had no memory of it. I recalled the day the photos were taken – Alex had insisted on taking pictures, but nothing like this.My gaze darted to Alex, who stood in front of me with a smirk, his hands in his pockets. "What?" he asked, snatching the phone from my hand. He walked closer to me, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Imagine what would happen if I post this online and tell everyone we're in a relationship. What do you think people would say?""Don't even think about it," I warned, but he just chuckled. "Shh," he said, placing his hand over my mouth. "If I post this, people will think you had your husband locked up so you could cheat on him with me," Alex said, his words making my eyes widen in horror.Alex was despicable, and the look in his eyes told me he wasn't just bluffing. I hated this more than anything, feeling trapped and helpless.I bit

Chapter thirty seven.Evelyn's POV."Did I say something wrong?" I asked, noticing her sudden change in expression. She shook her head, still frowning, and dropped the napkin she was holding."What do you want from his room?" she asked, her tone guarded. I hesitated, rubbing the back of my neck. "Nothing," I lied, but she clearly didn't believe me.She stared at me knowingly but didn't press the issue. "You can access most rooms, but the boss's room is off-limits," she said."Why?" I asked, feeling a surge of frustration. "I'm not a criminal, if there's anyone who is then he's…." I bit my tongue, realizing I was about to reveal too much.I took a deep breath, composing myself. I opened my eyes and forced a smile, trying to diffuse the tension."I'm sorry about that," I mumbled, trying to appease her. She smiled and said, "It's fine." But I felt like screaming – how could it be fine? She took my hands, her expression softening. "You're like a daughter to me, which is why I'm warn

Chapter thirty Eight.Evelyn's POV.He took a step closer, and I backed away until my back hit the wall, trapping me. My heart was racing wildly as Alex loomed over me, his eyes blazing with a cold intensity.I didn't realize I'd whispered "please" until the word was already out, a desperate plea in the face of his unyielding stare.Alex slammed his hands against the wall above my head, his eyes blazing with fury. "What are you doing here?" he thundered. I swallowed hard, sweat trickling down my face despite the chill in the room."Answer me!" he barked. I squeezed my eyes shut, whispering "please" – the only word I could manage. Seeing Alex like this terrified me. I wondered what he would do to me – would he hit me, humiliate me, or something worse?Suddenly, Alex swept me off the floor, dragging me abruptly. "Alex, please!" I begged, but he didn't respond.”Alex! Please don't do this”The maid stood by, watching me with pity in their eyes as Alex's grip held me firm.I stood bef

The return of the Heiress chapter fifty
Chapter fifty.Evelyn's POV.Alex's sudden laughter caught me off guard, and I stared at him, perplexed. "What's funny?" I asked, my brow furrowed in confusion."Everything," he replied, his grin still plastered on his face. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What do you mean by everything?" I pressed, my tone a mix of annoyance and curiosity.He chuckled again, and I stood up, my voice rising. "I'm trying to tell you something important, and you think it's funny?"Alex's expression sobered slightly as he said, "Evelyn, your father is guilty. Just accept it." My eyes widened in shock. "What did you just say?" I demanded, my voice barely above a whisper.He scoffed, his tone dismissive. "You heard me well. There's no conspiracy, no framing. Just accept it.”I let out a bitter laugh, the sound tinged with pain. "Wow," I said, my voice laced with anger. "I knew you hated my father, but I never knew it ran this deep." My eyes locked onto his, accusatory. "What would my father gain by pu

Chapter forty nine.Evelyn's POV.I closed my eyes, anticipating a kiss, but was interrupted by a shocked gasp. "Holy shit." I quickly pulled away and turned to see Lucas standing there, his eyes wide with surprise.Before he could say anything, I murmured, "Excuse me," and hastily walked away, too embarrassed to face him. I slipped into the bathroom, closing the door behind me and leaning against it to collect my thoughts.I couldn't help but wonder what had gotten into me. Feeling embarrassed and a bit flustered, I took a moment to collect myself. After a few deep breaths, I composed myself and stepped out of the bathroom.That's when I saw the maid carrying a bowl of soup. "Who does this belong to?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.The maid stopped and turned to face me. "It's for the boss," she replied.I nodded and reached out to take the soup from her. "Let me give it to him," I said.The maid hesitated, suggesting I should rest instead. However, I felt a sense

Chapter forty Eight.Alex's POV."Time to go," my dad said, his hands pulling me away.I shook my head, grasping for more time. "Please, let me stay," I begged, but he just chuckled."Someone needs you, son. This isn't your place," he said, his hands slipping from mine.I felt a desperate tug, my fingers curling into emptiness as he walked away. Everything around me began to fade.Distant voices murmured, their words a jumbled mess. I strained to make out who was speaking, but it was like trying to catch smoke.My eyelids felt like lead weights, refusing to open. I forced them open, but everything was blurry. I closed them again, trying to gather my strength.When I opened them once more, the room slowly came into focus. I slowly took in my surroundings, the cacophony of machines beeping and whirring around me. The noise was overwhelming, and I felt an urge to shut it off.Struggling to sit up, I realized my body felt heavy, unresponsive. A hiss escaped my lips as I noticed the oxyg

Chapter forty seven.Evelyn's POV.Two weeks later."Miss Evelyn, are you sure you want to do this?" the doctor asked.I turned to face Alex's still form, my eyes lingering on his lifeless body. I nodded slowly. "Y-yes."The doctor nodded sympathetically. "I'll arrange the paperwork."With that, I stepped out, leaning against the doorframe as I gazed at Alex. Two weeks had passed, and there was no improvement. The doctors had tried everything, but nothing was working.My eyes welled up with tears as I whispered, "Alex..." The machines beeping around him were the only sounds that broke the silence.I wished desperately that this was all just a nightmare, that I'd wake up and find it was nothing but a dream. But this was my harsh reality. I wiped away the tears streaming down my face, blinking to clear my vision. Walking over to Alex's side, I sat down beside him, forcing a weak smile."We're going home," I whispered, trying to sound optimistic. "Maybe that'll give you a reason to

Chapter forty six.Evelyn's POV."You need to be strong, Miss Evelyn," the doctor said, and I nodded, forcing myself to hold it together.As he stepped aside, I prepared to see Alex, but the nurse wheeled him out of the operating room, and he was taken to a new ward. I bit my lip, struggling to contain my emotions. I walked slowly to his room, my heart heavy with pain.Seeing Alex lying there with an oxygen tube attached to him was a harsh reality. A bitter laugh escaped my lips, and I sat beside him, smiling weakly as I held his hand."Alex, you're a warrior," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "You have to fight this. I don't know how, but you need to wake up, okay?"I held his hands tightly, my head resting on them, and for a moment, I let my guard down. It was hard seeing Alex so helpless, knowing he was bearing the weight of my pain. I felt a surge of guilt and sadness, wishing it was me lying there instead.What's the point of living if the people I care about have to suffe

Chapter forty five.Evelyn's POV."What's happening? Where's Alex?" I demanded, my voice rising in panic. Lucas whispered, "Evelyn, you need to calm down," but I shook my head fiercely."No, don't tell me to calm down. I need to know what's happening," I insisted. The doctor cleared his throat, hesitating before asking, "Are you his fiancée?" I nodded quickly, not caring about explanations – I just needed to know about Alex. The doctor glanced at Lucas, who gave a slight nod, before turning back to me. I swallowed hard, my heart racing with fear. The doctor's serious expression made my anxiety spike, and I braced myself for the worst."Miss Evelyn," the doctor began, but I cut him off, my patience worn thin. "Doctor, please, just tell me what's wrong with Alex." He nodded solemnly."You have to be strong," he said, his words hanging in the air like a threat. "Strong for what?" I pressed, my eyes darting to Lucas, who wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight."Evelyn, calm d

Chapter forty four.Evelyn’s POV."Alex!" My body crumpled, and I fell to my knees, my eyes fixed on him. My hands trembled as I reached out, barely grazing his form. "A...Alex," I whispered, my voice cracking.Ethan's voice cut through the haze, "Hands up!" I didn't respond, lost in the moment, my mind reeling."Hands up!" he barked again, his fingers wrapped tightly around the gun. I slowly raised my hands, a single tear rolling down my cheek."Say your last wish," he said, his voice cold. I nodded, taking a shaky breath. "Let me...," I began, but my voice faltered, swallowed by emotion. "Let me take Alex to the hospital, and then you can kill me," I pleaded.Ethan's response was a burst of maniacal laughter, the sound sending chills down my spin. "You think you can deceive me?" he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "Say your last wish," he barked again.But my attention was hijacked as my eyes widened, locking onto a figure behind him – Lucas. My heart skipped a beat as

But as I opened it, my eyes locked onto Ethan's, and I froze, jar slipping from my grasp."Surprised, surprised, surprised," Ethan said, his voice dripping with amusement.I took a step back, swallowing hard. "Ethan, I can explain," I said, hands raised in a futile attempt to placate him.But he just shook his head, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "I'm not interested in anything," he said, advancing towards me.I let out a loud scream for help, but there was only silence. "Help!" I screamed again, and Ethan burst into laughter."Someone help, help, help," he mocked, his voice echoing through the hallway.I swallowed hard, my heart racing as sweat trickled down my face. Ethan closed in on me, his body trapping me against the wall as he placed his hands on either side of my head."Longest time, dearest wife," he sneered, his breath hot against my skin.I scoffed, defiance rising up. "I'm not your wife," I spat, but my words were met

Chapter two.Alex's POV.I tried to pull my hand away as she slept, but she gripped it tightly and whispered, "Don't go." A smile spread across my face."I'm not going anywhere," I said, gently kissing her hand. The gesture brought back memories. I recalled how Evelyn would always ask me to stay by her side when she was scared.I wondered how she could forget about our close bond so easily. We had been childhood friends from around six to eight years old, but then we moved away from the city.When we returned, she didn't remember me, but I recalled every detail about her – her smile, her laughter, and her fears. My eyes drifted to her, and I whispered, "Why does Jake have to be your father? We could've been happy by now, just you and me."I kissed her hand again, feeling a mix of emotions. With Ethan on the loose, her fear was justified. It was only a matter of time before he might target her again.I needed to take care of the Ethan situation and ensure I didn't lose the court cas
