“Whatever you say, Evelyn. Oh, but you probably don’t know when Lucas and I actually started seeing each other, do you?” Chloe’s voice dripped with challenge.“Three years ago.”Her words hit Evelyn like a knife. She clenched her palm so hard it left red marks. “That’s impossible. Three years ago you hadn’t even graduated yet—you weren’t working at Callahan Group!”What cut deeper was the timing. Three years ago, Evelyn had just married Lucas.Chloe smirked, savoring her triumph. “Strange, isn’t it? I never said I met Lucas at the company. That was just your assumption all along.”Evelyn’s head spun. Fragments of conversations she had brushed aside now came back like cruel puzzle pieces snapping into place.She remembered Lucas’s voice from back then.“Evelyn, the company really needs someone new, especially to support you. You need a competent assistant.”“Why don’t we do a campus recruitment? Doesn’t have to be Ivy League—some decent tech school will do. As long as the candidate’s s

Evelyn arrived at the hotel right at noon. The moment she stepped into her room, her phone started ringing. It was her mother.“Evelyn, I’m home now. Don’t worry, Mr. Reed drove me all the way to the door,” her mother said calmly, as if nothing had happened.Evelyn, however, was irritated. She snapped, “Why should I worry? You already got into his car. Why didn’t you just go ahead and invite him over for dinner?”“I did invite him, but Mr. Reed seemed busy this afternoon. So I asked him to come for dinner on Saturday instead.”“What?” Evelyn could hardly believe her ears. “Do you have any idea who he is? There’s no way he’d ever agree to come to our house for dinner.”“But he already accepted,” her mother replied casually.“Accepted? Impossible.”“Why impossible? Everyone needs to eat. Status has nothing to do with it. People can’t live on air alone. Besides, you said Mr. Reed just sells used cars, didn’t you?”“I…” Evelyn froze, unable to come up with an answer.“Anyway, I already in

Sebastian shot Camilla a cold look. “What did Grandma tell you to bring me?”Camilla swallowed her irritation behind a stiff smile and lifted the lunch box she was holding. “She was worried you weren’t eating properly. She asked me to bring you lunch.”“Just put it down.”Trying to compose herself, Camilla set the containers on the table in front of Evelyn. “I made everything the way you like it. Especially this soup. Grandma taught me the recipe herself. Go ahead, try it.”“Is that so? Then I guess I should.”But before Camilla could feel pleased, Sebastian handed the fork straight to Evelyn. “You haven’t eaten, right? Try it.”Evelyn froze, and so did Camilla. Even Daniel, the secretary standing by the door, quietly stepped back two paces, clearly unwilling to be caught in the crossfire.Evelyn forced a smile. “No need, I still have work to—”“Sebastian told you to eat. Go ahead. I made plenty,” Camilla cut her off with a falsely sweet tone, laced with hostility.Evelyn reluctantly

Evelyn had finally managed to move out of the Callahan family’s house. She kept her distance from them now and had found an apartment that felt like her own. Life was finally starting to feel calmer.Inside that apartment, Harry stood by the window, watching Evelyn out on the balcony. Dressed in shades of blue and white, she looked elegant, almost untouchable. His gaze lingered, caught somewhere between admiration and a desire that grew stronger with every passing second. His eyes narrowed, his hands clenched. This time, he wasn’t going to let the chance slip away.“There’s a Carrefour nearby,” Harry said. “Ten minutes’ walk. We can grab some stuff, I’ll help you carry everything back. No need for you to haul it all yourself.”He hesitated, then added, “Oh, and your car’s still at the Callahans’, right? You can use mine in the meantime if you want.”Evelyn shook her head lightly. “That’s okay. I’m not working much right now, only when there’s an important project. A taxi’s fine for me

After dinner, Evelyn was dragged into her room by her younger brother, Liam.“Ev, are you seriously getting close to him?” Liam’s expression was sharp, almost accusing. “Mom’s already obsessed with money. Don’t tell me you’re following her lead.”Evelyn tapped him on the forehead, irritated. “Which pair of eyes saw me getting close to him?”“Earlier, you two…” Liam pressed his palms together and mimed a kiss. “Swapped spit.”Evelyn’s cheeks went crimson. “That… that was an accident!”“Funny how there are so many ‘accidents’ like that,” Liam muttered, brows furrowed, looking far older than his actual age.Evelyn took a slow breath, her chest tightening at the worry in his eyes. “Liam, I know it hasn’t been easy since the divorce. But if I ever decide to get married again, I’ll think it through. Trust me.” She rested a gentle hand on his shoulder. “You just focus on school. Whether you want to finish your master’s here or go abroad, I can cover it now.”Liam shook his head. “I want to f
