All Chapters of Sorry, Too Late: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

The three of them practically lived by the calendar once the official cooling-off period had begun. They would count down the days every morning before drawing another circle in the evening.The three of them even made a bet on how long Evan could hold out. Anya guessed five days; Roxanne said seven; Hazel simply smiled and told them they didn't know Evan at all. She put her money on him caving within half a month.However, more than ten days had gone by, and Evan still hadn't made a move. At this point, even they were starting to panic."Hazel, do you think Evan really plans to walk away from us for good?" Roxanne asked, her voice tight with worry."That's impossible." Hazel sounded certain. "He's definitely going to regret it and apologize before the cooling-off period ends."She knew Evan too well. He might look indifferent now, but he'd be more anxious than any of them once the deadline loomed over him.Anya relaxed a little upon hearing that. She even chortled. "I'm with Haz

"Yes! Evan, we've indulged you long enough!""Don't wait until the cooling-off period ends to come crawling back. By then, it'll be too late!"Roxanne and Anya's cold, imperious voices rose right behind Hazel's.A thin, icy smile tugged at Evan's lips. 'Those three sure don't disappoint. There isn't a hint of remorse, not even a hint of humility. Instead, all I get are more arrogant orders. Yet, they expected me to return?'For a moment there, he had almost believed they might have changed."Mrs. Norwood, who's your husband talking to?" Artemisia asked curiously beside them. She was sharp enough not to call him Mr. Norwood or her mentor. Rather, she went straight to "your husband."Sylvie already knew who it must have been upon seeing the scowl on his face. Still, she only replied coolly, "No idea. It's probably some stray mutt. It's funny how a stray would dare call my husband and bother him!"Then, she strode forward and abruptly hung up the call.…"That worthless b*stard a

"A surprise? Something we have always wanted?" Wendy's eyes flickered with confusion at once.The other Leighton family representatives exchanged baffled looks. 'Is Ms. Stone feeding us empty promises now? Why is she talking about surprises?'"Ms. Stone, you must be joking." Wendy forced a polite smile once she recovered her composure. "We only want the ancient formula in your hands. We came here with sincerity. There's no need for surprises.""Alright, I agree. Regardless, you'll still get the surprise," Artemisia said without hesitation. She could clearly see that Wendy didn't believe a word of it. The real problem was that even she didn't know what "surprise" Evan was referring to, so she couldn't assuage the other woman's doubts."However, you also need to agree to one more condition—Roxanne must be allowed to return to the family, and none of you is allowed to target her again."The words dropped like thunder. The Leighton representatives stared at her with eyes wide in s

"The kid really had nerves of steel. Not only did he dare to steal Mr. Solomon's drakeblood gemstone three years ago, but he also managed to fool everyone with a perfect fake… Does he really mean to court death?""Tell me about it! He did what none of us would've dared to do… wouldn't even have dared to imagine!""Honestly, the kid's something else. To think he could push Mr. Solomon this far…"The heavyweights present had already begun whispering among themselves.For something to terrify the entire Silverton elite circle like this, it had to be a world-shaking event.Everyone present knew the full story—how Cain's gemstone had been stolen three years ago, and how Cain had ultimately chosen to spare the culprit. None of them had expected the matter to resurface, let alone create an even bigger storm.Being deceived was far worse than being robbed because it meant humiliation—one that cut all the way to the bone."Hugo, that kid was from your city, wasn't he?" A voice cut throug

Evan soon arrived at Sean's home. It was located in an ordinary-looking neighborhood—ordinary on the outside, anyway. In truth, countless people in government circles would've killed for an invitation through that door. Anyone personally welcomed into Sean's home was being shown the highest level of respect.A poised, capable-looking woman opened the door—clearly the mayor's wife.Evan was just about to greet her when she suddenly grabbed his hand, eyes lighting up with excitement. "Evan, my darling son-in-law, you're finally here! Come in, come in—the food's almost ready. Have a seat first!"She ushered him inside warmly, as if welcoming a long-lost family member.Evan stood frozen. 'Evan? Darling son-in-law? Isn't this our first meeting? What on earth is going on?' He quickly looked toward Sean.'Ahem!'Sean began coughing violently, trying to signal his wife to rein it in. But she didn't notice at all. After pouring Evan a glass of water, she sat right beside him, smiling as
