Evelyn raised her head to meet Warren's eyes. Her gaze was cold, and the whites of her eyes were streaked with red."So what if I am? Are you going to pin me to the operating table and force me through an abortion?"Warren's eyes dimmed. He stared fixedly at her haggard face for a good while.Moments later, he spoke up. "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?"Evelyn sneered, "Were you hoping you could have the child aborted earlier than today?""Evelyn Jefferson, can you listen to what I have to say?" Warren clutched her chin between two fingers.With red eyes, she gazed at him. "You're about to get married and have children with someone else. What does it matter if I'm pregnant myself?"Warren scrutinized Evelyn's stubborn expression and discreetly gnashed his teeth.Evelyn's attempt to wriggle free was futile as he led her by the wrist in the direction of the obstetrics and gynecology operating room.She longed to break free, but his uncompromising voice onl

After speaking, Evelyn grabbed hold of Clara's wrist.Instantly, Clara felt a piercing pain course through her body."Evelyn, my hand is not healed yet. If you dare touch me again, I'll make you regret it!"A cold sneer escaped Evelyn's lips. "Clara, don't you know that those who have nothing to lose have nothing to fear? You've set me up over and over again, and if I don't settle the score with you now, how the hell will I ever be worthy in your eyes?"You accused me of injuring your hand, causing you to forfeit in the piano competition, right? How about I fulfill your wish and let you experience a real injury?"With a forceful motion, a crisp sound echoed through the air.Clara's deafening scream followed."Ah! Evelyn Jefferson! How dare you break my hand! Do you even know how much my hands are worth? Even if you sell everything, you still won't be able to compensate me!""That's perfect—I never intended to compensate you anyway!"With another crack, another one of Clara's f

Warren's face darkened as he looked at her and spoke with an unfriendly tone, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. Now, you're having second thoughts and targeting my grandmother?"Evelyn was confused. She turned to the old lady beside her, asking incredulously, "He's your grandson?"Bonnie Durbin smiled and nodded. "Yes. You know each other? That's wonderful! With a foundation of affection, both of you will get along just fine."Evelyn gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm sorry, but since your family has come to pick you up, I have to leave and attend to my affairs now."Just as Evelyn stood up, Warren grabbed her wrist tightly. "You're just going to leave after hitting someone?"Evelyn sneered at him. "Mr. Larkin, don't forget, I have a dashcam in my car. Don't even think about scamming me!"Then, she turned and left without hesitation. But before she could get far, she heard Warren's icy voice."Evelyn, why go to such lengths to play this cat-and-mouse game with me?

Evelyn arrived at the police station to find Jazzie seated in the interrogation room, handcuffed. Jazzie remained composed, facing the police officers and continuously defending herself without fear.Hurriedly, Evelyn approached and politely asked, "Hello, officer. I'm her friend. What's going on?"Before the officer could respond, Jazzie jumped in. "After you disappeared yesterday, Seth went to ask his dad to help you, leaving me alone. I knew you went looking for that asshole, so I felt upset and drank at the bar. I happened to see Clara there, boasting about your dad's situation to someone."You should've seen her smug face. I couldn't help cursing at her, and that's all I did. But this morning, the cops brought me here, saying Clara's car was vandalized and they suspected me. No matter how I explain, they won't listen."At the mention of Clara, Evelyn clenched her fists tightly. She didn't need to think to know that this was Clara's usual method of framing people, just like she

Several minutes later, Evelyn knocked on the door of the Warren's office. The air of authority had vanished from her face, replaced by a natural and gentle smile befitting a professional woman."Mr. Larkin, what can I do for you?"Warren saw her empty-handed and frowned slightly. "Where's my breakfast?"In the past, he never had time for breakfast. It was always Evelyn who prepared it in a thermos container, delivering it to the company for him.Evelyn smiled and asked with a respectful tone, "What do you feel like having? I can place an order for you right away.""You didn't make breakfast?"Evelyn chuckled. "Mr. Larkin, I don't recall that being part of the contract I signed."Warren stared at Evelyn for a moment, trying hard to find the spark that used to be in her eyes whenever she looked at him. But now, apart from the official smile, he couldn't detect any personal emotions on her face.Warren felt a hollow ache in his chest, as if something he had been holding onto tight
