The Good Wife. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

EveBefore I could blink, Sinclair had already crossed the corner to see me. I was wearing the pyjama shorts when he saw me. “Evie, what are you doing here and why are you changing your clothes?” he asked in confusion.I braced up and replied as casually as possible, “I couldn't sleep and thought I should see her grave, it was too chilly outside so I had to change into something better and I didn't want to disturb you either, that's why I came here to change” “Thank God it was just you. It would have been too awkward if it were your dad,” I added with relief and a dry chuckle.“Oh, I came down when I didn't see you. Are you feeling better now?” Sinclair asked in concern, which indicated that he bought my lie hook, line, and sinker.“These past few weeks have been too much, Sinclair. I don't think I can bear it anymore…” my voice broke in the end, while I completely changed, and I forced my eyes to go teary for a better effect. Sinclair sighed guiltily, came forward, and pulled me i

EveAs soon as I got to the office, Richard walked in and asked unsurely, “So you are back?” I smiled and answered proudly, “Yes I'm back and I just got Sinclair to make me his legal guardian, even a prenup as a bonus”“Wow, you're on overdrive. What did X tell you?” Richard asked.“Speaking of X, did any of you tell him about our revenge plan?” I asked as a way of diverting the question, I didn't want them to know what Sinclair had done till it was time to expose him.“No, not at all. He approached us and told us about how you were probably about to quit because Wilfred's death made you too emotional. He said he could get you back if you both met and after noticing your distance from us, I resolved to give him a chance. Why are you asking, does he know about it?” Richard answered.Hmm, so he really has been watching…“Yes, he does and that's fine because he's on our team. Away from that, how fast do you think we can bring down, Sinclair? I don't want to waste any more time” I asked

EveBrando slammed his hand on the table and yelled, “I do not want to invest anymore, what part of that do you not understand?” He looked irritated and upset.“Mr Brando, please calm down, let us explain to you. You cannot believe the news so easily without verifying” I answered in a calm tone. We were in the board meeting with board directors, Brando and Khalif. Brando's acting was so perfect I was impressed, we just needed to act a little bit more so we didn't raise any suspicions… Sinclair could have eyes watching.“Pardon me, Mrs Eve, but in every nonsense there is sense somewhere. News outlets wouldn't just pop out such allegations with no tip or a lead. Your father was a great friend to my father and they partnered together for decades. It was why I continued partnering with the stone capital even after Mr Sinclair took over because I trusted your father's discernment. To hear that Mr Sinclair treated you badly for years and you endured it was already getting me irritated. But

Sinclair I checked the time out of habit, it was 6:34 pm. I was expecting Eve by 7:15 pm, so there was still plenty of time. I was at the lake house in Minnesota, a private property I acquired for a little getaway once in a while. I had planned one for the weekend with Eve, she deserved it after holding down the company for weeks when I was absent. It was also the last time we might spend together because I planned on telling her the truth too. At the thought of how hurt she would feel, my heart constricted and I sipped my glass of wine to calm myself. It was now or never, I couldn't postpone it any further than this.X's warning a few days ago came to mind, he was the one who released that information to the press. It was a warning to keep my end of the deal and I got so worried that he might have gone for Eve that I called the office to check. It was then that one of the board directors told me about the investor problem and the agreement. Luckily, I was able to step in in time b

Eve“Eve, I am very sorry, I have no excuses for my actions. I got carried away by greed and forgot what was truly important, and that was you. You are what's important. And because I'm a fool I failed to realize that until recently. I fell in love with you, Eve, and I mean it, I love you. I wanted to make everything right, but I was also scared of your reaction. I didn't go about it correctly, and I'm sorry about that, too. If I had, then we wouldn't be in this mess. We can still talk this out, Eve, we can still fix this. I know you didn't kill my mother, Xander must have manipulated you. Untie me let's talk… please.” Sinclair pleaded with tearful eyes as he looked back at me. I watched him for a few more seconds, and I watched tears roll down his heartbroken, handsome face. And with a cold, hard look, I picked up the papers I had arranged beforehand and brought them closer to him. “It’s too late, Sinclair, I don't love you anymore. You have two options, you either sign every prop
