Albert ran into the room with an air of confidence, whisking Evelyn along as they hurried outside. To him, Evelyn and Warren were family, while the other uncles were nothing but troublemakers. Evelyn swiftly ended her call and followed Albert into the banquet hall. Upon entering, she spotted several uncles slumped over the table, muttering to themselves. A cluster of cousins surrounded Warren, deeply engrossed in a dice game. Seeing Evelyn approach, Warren, typically the victor, unexpectedly faced defeat by rolling a mere one. The cousins erupted in cheers, egging him on to drink. Without hesitation, Warren grabbed his glass and downed three shots in quick succession. Then, stumbling to his feet, he staggered toward Evelyn, embracing her. With a plaintive tone, he said "Darling, they've teamed up against me. I want to go home." After finishing his words, he buried his head into Evelyn's shoulder, standing utterly still. Chet, somewhat tipsy himself, walked over and nudged Warr

Upon hearing those words, Chet stumbled back several steps, eventually collapsing onto the bed. The very thing he had feared most had become a reality. The driver, Eric Lindt, was a distant relative of Iris, battling cancer even before the incident. Despite his illness, he had hidden it and continued working for the Sullivans. With only three months left to live, the unsettling possibility of bribery lingered. Following the accident, Iris promptly paid Eric's wife half a million dollars as compensation. "Was this just a coincidence or a meticulously planned scheme years in the making?" Chet wondered aloud. "If Iris is truly responsible for Mom's death, how will Evie face Warren?" These troubling thoughts weighed heavily on Chet's mind as he took a deep breath. He returned to Bramston City that very night. …Meanwhile, Iris sat alone in the cafeteria, her gaze fixed on the untouched food before her. Her eyes simmered with bitter resentment. Suddenly, she noticed a familiar

Finishing his words, Chet instructed for a blood sample to be taken from Iris. He needed to verify her claims. He had recorded their conversation, and with this evidence, Iris couldn't escape justice. Leaving the prison, Chet lit a cigarette and took several deep drags. The harsh nicotine entered his mouth and burned through his lungs, making him cough. The thought of Evelyn's situation weighed heavily on his heart. He was torn about whether to tell her the truth. If she knew, it might shatter her relationship with Warren. She was finally about to marry the man she loved, only to discover that his mother was her own mother's murderer.With a heavy heart, Chet steadied himself and called Evelyn. The call was answered, and her gentle, melodious voice came through. "Chet, why did you leave so early? Is everything okay?" Hearing Evelyn's voice brought a faint smile to Chet's face. "I had something to take care of at the company. What are you up to now?" Evelyn's excitement

When Chet heard that, his heart stopped. He immediately fished out his cigarettes from his pocket and lit one, taking a few deep hits.Then, he continued, "But Evie loves Warren dearly, and he is the father of her child. They have gone through so many ups and downs; it wasn't easy for them to finally reach this point. If Evie knew the truth, even if she chose to let go of her mother's grievance, she would definitely live the rest of her life while harboring guilt. I don't want her to suffer.""So, are you planning to hide the truth?""If possible, I don't want her to ever find out."Chet regarded Dennis with teary eyes.This was the best solution he could think of. Because of this car accident, his sister ended up living in poverty for many years. Even though Simon had loved her tenderly, she had grown up without maternal love.
