All Chapters of Sorry, Too Late: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

After hearing James' explanation, the triplets looked at Darius with even greater surprise. They had only thought about shielding the Norwood family from backlash. They hadn't considered the possibility of currying favor with Cain, let alone the idea of preventing unforeseen complications.Darius didn't say a word. He simply smiled shyly, looking harmless as ever.The triplets looked at him with admiration, even respect. "Darius, you're incredible. You thought of everything."Soon after, Evan arrived. His presence hit the room like a storm—sharp, forceful, impossible to ignore. Anyone who met his eyes felt an odd pressure, a faint sting behind their gaze.Even though he had severed ties with the Norwoods long ago, stepping back onto this land and facing the people he had once mistaken for family still stirred old memories. He remembered every cold look from three years ago, those eyes that had stared at him the way one might look at a stray dog on the street. Most of all, he re

The entire Norwood family froze. Every face was filled with disbelief as they stared at Evan. What was he laughing at? From the looks of it, he was mocking them.His laughter cut off abruptly. His gaze swept across James, then Darius, Josephine, and finally the triplets. Looking at every person in the Norwood family, he let out a cold sneer. "You want me to beg? Who do you think you are?"The words cracked through the hall like thunder. A suffocating pressure rolled off him, heavy and undeniable. The air felt tighter, harder to breathe.For a moment, no one reacted. Even the triplets' expressions shifted drastically.They hadn't expected defiance. They certainly hadn't expected this."I, Evan Norwood, stand upright in this world," he continued, voice calm but cutting. "I repay kindness when it's given. I am grateful to the heavens, to the earth, and to my parents. But you are not my parents—and you're far from worthy of being called my family. I had thought three years might have

Many factions had shut their gates tight as they were too terrified to step outside.However, one family was an exception to that rule. Not only did they go out in full force, but they were also planning to personally welcome Cain."Keep your eyes on him. He's not to step out of that room!" James issued a strict order.Nothing could go wrong before Cain arrived. Once Cain got there, it would all be over.…Meanwhile, another group had been watching Evan's movements closely.They were Hazel and the others. They had been waiting for Evan to apologize. Alas, Evan was nowhere to be found, even though Cain was about to arrive.Hazel and the others were growing restless."Hazel, what's going on? Why hasn't Evan come crawling back to us?""That doesn't make sense…"Hazel's expression darkened.Evan had refused to yield because Cain hadn't arrived, and there had still been room for him to wriggle around in vain. But today was D-Day, and Evan was still nowhere to be seen.Would he r

The Norwoods had gained a link to Cain.They had gotten three wins by just imprisoning Evan.…Just as the Norwoods were returning to their home, Hazel and the others were still pulling every string they had to track down Evan.It was useless. They found nothing.The Norwoods had sealed everything tight. Not a single word of Evan's location would be leaked until Gabriel met him.However, the news that Cain had arrived in Silverton spread like wildfire.It soon reached Hazel and the others."What? Mr. Solomon is already here?""Yes, but it's not Mr. Solomon himself. It's his son, Gabriel. Still, that's close enough."The words hit like a thunderclap.Hazel staggered while Roxanne and Anya felt their scalps go numb.It was over. They had failed to find Evan before Cain arrived. Now, he was doomed. Even they wouldn't be able to save him.Cynthia was crying. Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot.Stefan sat slumped on the couch, shoulders curled into himself. It was as if he ha

The engine roared, and Hazel's car shot off down the road.…On the other side, the Norwood convoy had already returned to Eisenberg Castle."Where's Evan?" Gabriel asked the moment he stepped inside, getting straight to the point.James stiffened. "He's over there!"He quickly stepped forward and personally led Gabriel toward Evan's room.Alice, Beverly, and Colette all let out long breaths, their faces flushed with excitement and relief.At last, the moment that would go down in history had arrived.'Evan, go in peace. We will remember your contribution to the Norwoods.'Everyone knew full well that none of it had been Evan's doing. It had been Darius. Still, they had destroyed every trace of evidence that would link it back to Darius.Now, all the proof pointed to Evan, and no one could trace it back to them.James beamed with pride as he introduced Darius. "Mr. Gabriel, this is my son, Darius. It was his idea to capture that b*stard Evan and save you the trouble."Dariu
