Zero Mercy: The Aloof Ex's Meltdown Chapter 30
"Angela!" Heath's voice grew sharper.The crisp sound of a slap rang out loudly, making it clear just how forceful the hit had been.Angela had raised her hand and smacked herself across the face. She looked at Elijah. "I've slapped myself to make it up to your sister. If this isn't enough to satisfy you yet, I can do it again."Elijah's face remained expressionless. He said to Heath, "Let's just drop this now, Mr. Jensen."Turning to Carlton, he added, "Let's go."Carlton put his arm around Serena and was about to lead her off when Angela gave the handbag to Evelyn, saying, "Didn't you have something to return to Ms. Albright?"Evelyn snapped back to her senses. She reached into the handbag and pulled out the flawed pearl.After walking up to Serena, she said, "I'm not obligated to help you deal with the trash you no longer want, Ms. Albright. You should throw it away yourself."Serena simply eyed her coldly, showing no intention of reaching out.Out of nowhere, a large hand

Angela didn't show the slightest bit of fear. "By all means, go ahead and tell me how you want me to pay for this, Mr. Shaw. A nobody like me obviously can't fight back, so do as you please."Elijah is probably here with you tonight, right? While you're at it, you might as well tell him that I slapped his sister. If there's a reckoning to be had, let's settle it all at once."As Evelyn watched Angela, she suddenly realized just how weak and pathetic she was.She was watching as her cheating husband defended another woman, yet she didn't even have the courage to step forward. Clenching her fists, she made her approach and said to Carlton, "Ms. Albright was the one who tried to hit Angela first. It was just an act of self-defense."Carlton looked at Evelyn, his gaze turning even colder. "You have no right to talk here."Evelyn felt as though a boulder had slammed right into her heart. Her eyes flickered. She could no longer bring herself to meet his gaze."Oh, my. What a devoted ma

Serena's expression instantly darkened at Angela's words. However, Angela didn't care, nor did she waste any more of her breath on Serena.She turned to Evelyn, saying, "Let's go."Taking her arm, she led Evelyn away.Evelyn glanced at Angela and noticed there was something off about her expression. "Is there some kind of grudge between you two?""It's nothing. She just annoys me," Angela replied.Serena watched as they left, her eyes sharpening with malice when she heard what Angela said.They hadn't gone far when Evelyn suddenly remembered something. "Angela, could you please go back to the private room and get my handbag? I have something to return to her."Angela frowned. "You know her too?"Not exactly," Evelyn replied.Angela didn't press further. "Alright, wait here. I'll be right back.""Okay."As Angela hurried off, Evelyn turned toward the restroom and waited in place.A few minutes later, Serena came out of the restroom and saw Evelyn standing in the corridor.

Half an hour later, Evelyn arrived at Le Clair. She took a seat in the private dining room before calling Heath.He told her they would be arriving in about 20 minutes before adding, "I'm bringing someone else along with us. Is that alright with you?""Of course. It's fine by me," Evelyn replied."That's good. I believe you two will get along quite well," Heath said."Okay."20 minutes later, Heath and Alvin entered the private dining room with a young woman. She had graceful, elegant features that made her look like a pleasant person.She seemed to be nearing her 30s and had shoulder-length hair. Dressed in professional attire, she carried herself with poise. It was obvious she was an elite professional.They exchanged a round of greetings, and Heath introduced the young woman to Evelyn."This is Angela Serrano. She was my junior back in university."Turning to Angela, he said, "And this is the student I talked to you about—Evelyn Ramsey."Evelyn took the initiative to greet

Heath had single-handedly founded Gallant Capital.It had expanded rapidly in recent years, reaching a market value that exceeded a hundred billion dollars. It was one of the few companies in Chenovia capable of competing with Colorcloud Capital.The two companies had been fierce rivals for years.Initially, Heath wanted Evelyn to join him at Gallant Capital. By right, she should have taken a job there. But at that time, she chose to follow the dream she had held since high school and ultimately refused Heath.After joining Colorcloud, she even went head-to-head against Gallant and snatched a project from the company. She'd always felt guilty about that and was too afraid to even face Heath.However, Heath never got upset with her, nor did he ever say she was being ungrateful. He simply said, "I was right about you all along. You surprised me."For a long period of time, they had no contact with each other—not until Heath abruptly reached out to her.Perhaps he'd learned of Evel

Evelyn's hand tightened over her abdomen, and a bitter, self-mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips. What was she even hoping for anyway?She thought about Elijah, whom she'd run into twice now. He did seem like a far more reasonable type of guy.When she spotted the subway station up ahead, she said to the driver, "Please stop the car at the entrance to the subway station."She simply couldn't bear listening to Carlton being that tender and affectionate with another woman. It was better to leave and give them their privacy.The driver glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror, waiting to see Carlton's reaction.Carlton said a few more reassuring words to Serena before ending the call.Turning to him, Evelyn said, "I'll stay with my family until the baby is born."He could move back into Crown Bay without having to worry about anything now, but Evelyn didn't voice that thought out loud.Being in the same space as her seemed to repulse him a lot.Evelyn thou
