Chapter 25

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Christina felt an arm wrap around her shoulders. She turned to see who it was before burying her head in the curve of their neck. She burst into tears, saying, "Camelia!"

They sat down in the hospital's courtyard, which had tulips planted everywhere. There were no other flowers in sight.

The hospital they were at belonged to Gray Corporation. Years ago, when Beverly had stayed there long-term, she'd casually mentioned that she wanted a garden full of tulips. Evan had immediately issued an order to remove all other flowers.

"I heard about what happened, Christina." Camelia handed Christina a tissue. "Out with the old, and in with the new. With your identity as the Gray family's heiress, I'm sure countless men will be interested in being with you."

The Gray family's heiress?

Christina's eyes dimmed with disappointment. "Mom is probably going to disown me."

Camelia feigned surprise. "How's that possible? You're the apple of Heather's eye!"

"The apple of her eye? Maybe that might've

    In that instant, Evan caught Heather's hands, a shadow flickering in his dark eyes."Escort Mrs. Gray Senior back to Gray Manor. Her health is failing, so she needs rest. No visitors are allowed, and fire every bodyguard at Gray Manor," he said icily."Yes, sir!" a bodyguard answered at once. Then, he stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Gray Senior, this way please."Heather noticed the clarity in Evan's gaze and felt the chill of his palms. He was fully lucid now. It seemed like the drug's effects had worn off on his way here.Relief washed over her. But the moment she realized that Evan was now using the methods he employed against his enemies on her, she snapped back to her senses and pointed at Beverly with bitter disappointment."You would put me under house arrest for her? She's really bewitched you, hasn't she? What's so special about her that you'd—"Heather turned back to look at Beverly, who sat on the sofa and met her gaze with the same clear, innocent eyes she'd had the v

    Evan tore the gas mask off one of the bodyguards. At once, the heady fumes from the reed diffuser invaded the bodyguard's senses, seizing control of his mind.He aggressively wrenched Camelia's arms from around Evan and threw her to the ground before forcing himself on her.It happened so suddenly that Camelia had no time to react. She was slammed to the floor, her body pinned beneath his iron grip."You've got some nerve! How dare you touch me? Let me go!" she shouted as she struggled violently.Naturally, the other bodyguards couldn't allow one of their own to run wild with Camelia.The scene spiraled out of control. And when a crack formed in the human barricade, Evan immediately seized the chance to make a run for the garage and jumped into his Ferrari.By the time the bodyguards gave chase, he was already speeding away.Meanwhile, the living room was in complete chaos.Camelia finally managed to escape after the bodyguards subdued the one who'd gone berserk.She sank onto

    "You really did it! Aren't you afraid Evan's going to castrate you?""Without Evan's approval, would that coward even dare to go through with it?""Wow, congratulations are in order.""Hey, nobody makes it through life without inheriting someone else's hand-me-downs. Props to Cal for stepping up like a real man!"Camelia stared at Calvin's Instagram story, trembling all over with rage. To please Beverly, Evan had dumped Cindy on Calvin as if she were nothing but trash.As much as Camelia loved Evan, she also despised him for his hypocrisy. He adored Beverly yet kept cheating with Cindy. So, why couldn't he spare Camelia even a glance?If she'd just set aside her pride and agreed to be his mistress back then, she would have done far better than Cindy ever had.After all, she was the Shaw family's heiress, making her more dignified and refined than Beverly. She would have outshone her long ago.Camelia simply couldn't accept it.She took a screenshot and sent the photo to Heathe

    Calvin's fists clenched at his sides. He'd grown up with Evan and knew that the latter was used to being obeyed—an arrogance that came from always getting his way."Sleep with her, and she'll be your wife after today," Evan said casually as if reiterating some boring fact."No—" Cindy fell off the bed, throwing herself at Evan's feet. "I refuse! Why are you doing this to me, Evan? I'm yours! How could I possibly fool around with Calvin and betray you?"Evan's brows furrowed. It was clear he was getting annoyed.Seeing this, Calvin quickly hauled Cindy to her feet and flung her onto the bed. Without warning, he began to tear at the neckline of her shirt.She clutched the collar of her shirt firmly and slapped Calvin across the face. "How dare you touch me!"Calvin paused and stared at Cindy. There was no lust in his eyes, only anger."He can do whatever he wants with you. You'll be his lawfully wedded wife the day after tomorrow," Evan pointed out blandly."No, I don't want to m

    Cindy was beyond horrified to hear this. "No! Please, don't do this to me! I'm Millie's mother! Don't remove my uterus! I'll do anything you ask. I plan to give you more children and continue the Gray family bloodline!"She sobbed and sniveled as she struggled against the male nurses, but she was no match for these burly men. She watched the doctor produce a syringe from the pocket of his white coat, clear liquid spraying from the tip of the needle as it drew closer to the vein on her neck.Cindy fought with all her might to clutch Evan's leg. "Please—"He kicked her away.In her moment of desperation, tears streamed down her face. The nurses hauled her upright as the doctor came forward to pierce the needle through her neck and inject the clear liquid into her vein.A scream erupted from Cindy, reverberating throughout the villa. Her eyes widened before she passed out.The doctor glanced at the needle, which had barely grazed Cindy's neck. "Mr. Gray, she got so scared that she p

    Beverly closed her eyes. She wished she wouldn't wake up to this disgustingly fake and absurd life anymore. The pain of the needle piercing her skin as she got a shot of cardiac stimulant pulled her back to reality. She lay on the large bed and stared at the figures around her with disinterest."I want to see her," she said."Okay, honey. Just finish the oatmeal, and I'll take you to see Emmeline tomorrow," Evan promised.When Beverly didn't object, Evan happily eased her upright and had the maid bring in the organic oatmeal. He fed her, murmuring encouragingly in her ear, "Emmeline wouldn't want to see you getting sad because of her. You need to stay strong for Harry, too, honey."Harold stood at the door, pain and annoyance flashing in his eyes. Nonetheless, he went along with Evan's encouragement and said flippantly, "Hang in there, Mom."With that, he spun on his heels and left, not wanting to stay even a second longer. He tugged on Janet's hand and asked, "Can I go and see
