All Chapters of The return of the Heiress : Chapter 61 - Chapter 69

Chapter sixty one. Evelyn’s POV. I groggily turned over, my hands brushing against something unexpected on my bed. I groaned, slowly opening my eyes to find myself surrounded by not one or two, but dozens of Rolex wristwatches. I sat up with a jolt, my gaze darting around the room to confirm the surreal sight. Fifty Rolex watches stared back at me, their sleek faces glinting in the light. I blinked twice, wondering if I was still dreaming, but the watches remained. I pinched myself, wincing in pain. This was real. What the heck was going on? "Do you like them?" I turned to face Alex, and that's when I realized he was in the room all along. He was sitting in his wheelchair, positioned at the door entrance, staring at me with an unreadable expression. "Wa…wait, you brought all of these?" I asked, my eyes widening in surprise. He nodded, wheeling his chair closer to me. "Who else would have?" he replied, his tone matter-of-fact. I stood up, a chuckle escaping my lips.

Chapter sixty three.Evelyn’s POV.I paced around the sitting room, my arms wrapped tightly around my chest. "Alex, can you just tell me who did this?" He asked, his patience wearing thin.I stopped pacing and turned to me. "Just a little bit of patience. Once Lucas is here, I'll reveal it," I said, my tone calm.He groaned in frustration. "Why do we have to wait for Lucas to come?" He asked, his voice laced with curiosity. "He's relevant to this," I said, my eyes locked onto him.“What?!” He gasped and I slowly nodded, Alex's eyes widened in surprise."Like my friend Lucas is involved?" he asked again, his tone laced with skepticism.Before I could respond, the door burst open and Lucas walked in, his eyes darting between me and Alex. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice firm.Alex shrugged. "I don't know, I'm waiting for her."Lucas nodded, his eyes fixed intently on me. I took a deep breath and asked, "What's your father's relationship with my father?"Lucas's expression turne

Chapter sixty five.Evelyn's POV.As I reached the doorway, I froze, my eyes widening in shock as I took in Alex's appearance.“Oh my gosh!”I stumbled backwards, my eyes fixed on Alex in shock. "A...Alex," I stuttered, and he smiled. I blinked twice, pinching myself to see if it was just a dream, but he was still standing there, smiling at me.He was standing without his wheelchair, his eyes sparkling with a mix of pain and determination.Without thinking, I rushed to hug him, and he wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight. I felt a surge of emotions as I held him, and for a moment, everything else faded away. But as I came back to my senses, I quickly pulled away, feeling a little embarrassed. "So...sorry," I mumbled.Alex chuckled and said, "Come on." His eyes locked onto mine, and I asked, "How did this happen? How did you...?" He took a deep breath, his voice filled with emotion. "Maybe I needed the anger and pain to stand on my feet and walk. Maybe I was tired of drowni

Chapter sixty seven.Alex's POV.I hung my coat outside and stepped into the room, my eyes widening as I took in the sight of Evelyn sleeping on the couch. She looked uncomfortable, her body twisted in an awkward position. A pang of guilt hit me as I realized she must have waited up for me all night. It wasn't my intention to leave her alone, and I couldn't help but wonder what had driven her to stay up waiting for me. I felt a twinge of regret, knowing I should have been more considerate of her feelings.The memories of last night still lingered in my mind, and I knew that spending the night outside was necessary. As I stepped into the room, I slipped off my shoes and walked quietly towards Evelyn, who was still asleep on the couch. Even in her sleep, she radiated a beauty that was captivating. I couldn't help but be drawn to her. It took everything in me not to kiss her.I gently tapped her shoulder, whispering her name. "Evelyn." When she didn't respond, I whispered it again, a

Chapter sixty nine.Alex's POV.I scanned the area, my hands tucked into my pockets, but there was no sign of Evelyn. As I turned around, a barrister walked by, and I stopped her with a polite smile that didn't quite reach my eyes. "Excuse me, ma'am," I said, trying to sound courteous. "Have you seen Miss Evelyn?" The barrister shook her head, and I nodded in response. "Thank you." As she walked away, I let out a frustrated groan. Where was Evelyn? This was the worst possible time for her to be playing games with me.I knew Evelyn was upset with me, but missing the court hearing was out of the question. I reached for my phone, only to remember I'd left it inside. Upon entering, Lucas caught sight of me and stood up, his expression tense. "Any news about her?" he asked, and I shook my head. "No, nothing," I replied, and he let out a frustrated hiss. "She can't be careless – she of all people knows how important this is," he said, his voice laced with concern. I remained silent
