All Chapters of Sorry, Too Late: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Evan caught Hazel's wrist before the slap could land. She cried out, wincing. "Let go! I'm going to hit you!" Yet, her fury dissipated as soon as she saw the look on his face. His expression was so thunderous that it sent a shiver racing down her spine. A strange, icy fear slithered through her, leaving her trembling. For a heartbeat, she actually thought that he would end her right there. When she finally fell silent, Evan stared her down with piercing eyes. "So, you dragged me to the courthouse, but it's not because you want to finalize the divorce?" he hissed. "What the hell, Hazel? Are you messing with me?" He had counted down to this divorce like a prisoner scratching marks on a cell wall, desperate for release. Once he signed his name on that piece of paper, he would finally be free. It should have happened a month ago, as he had already cut ties with the Solbergs since then. Alas, Hazel had insisted on the so-called "cooling-off period," forcing the process t

Hazel balled her fists, willing herself to keep her gaze fixed forward. 'What if he sees me turn around and get it into his head that I'm regretting my decision? No. He needs to know exactly where he stands. How dare he try to threaten me! He's nothing without me. Does he really think waving divorce in my face will scare me? 'Please. He's the one who's afraid of the divorce.' Meanwhile, Evan's expression darkened. The divorce was still up in the air, gnawing at him more than he would ever confess. What stung most was Hazel's silence about why she summoned him to the courthouse. He couldn't believe that he actually thought she was finally ready to end it all. That fragile hope had gone up in smoke in the face of her series of actions. Now, his hopes and dreams of freedom lay shattered on the pavement. Still, he shoved the thought aside. He figured he could afford to be a little more patient as there were only five days left in the cooling-off period. Besides, he had alread

Hazel refused to believe that Evan would remain indifferent after witnessing what happened to the Norwood family.In the minds of Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya, Evan's attitude was akin to playing with fire.He clearly had absolutely no concept of how serious Cain's anger was.He probably thought they could still protect him as they did three years ago, and that he would get away scot-free.He could keep himself safe, improve his status, and even exert control over them.Did he seriously think that was even possible?He was biting off more than he could chew.He was a complete headcase!However, he would behave once they sent him the pictures of the miserable fate that befell the Norwood family.Soon, photos and videos of dead members of the Norwood family were sent to Evan's phone.Anya said in a threatening voice, "Evan, behave and apologize to Hazel now, or you'll be met with the same fate as those in the videos in four days!"Evan merely sneered in indifference.Were they tr

"Really? That's great!""Looks like he finally knows fear."Hazel and Roxanne burst into laughter when they heard the news.It seemed the video of the Norwood family's miserable fate truly worked on Evan.Clearly, it had gotten to him.After all, he visited the Norwood family to check out the situation.This was exactly what Hazel wanted.They were used as an example to strike fear into Evan's heart.That way, he would understand that a divorce meant he would be sharing the same fate as the Norwood family.He should be the one most afraid of a divorce. Yet he had actually dared to threaten her with it.That alone was unforgivable.With excitement written all over her face, Anya exclaimed, "Evan must be terrified now. It's only a matter of time before he comes crawling back to apologize!"Hazel nodded. She believed that too.There was no way she could lose now, and she had already forged Evan's death certificate. There were plenty of ways to punish him."Hazel, you're amaz

Thinking he must have misheard, Evan chuckled lightly. "Ivana, you really know how to joke.""Do I look like I'm joking? I already told you—I'm serious," Ivana replied with a faint smile.His expression immediately stiffened.The sincerity in her gaze—clear and unwavering beneath those affectionate, seductive eyes—was something he had never seen from her before.At that moment, Evan realized she truly meant every word. The shock hit him so hard that he could only curse silently in his mind.He stood there, tense from head to toe, staring at her in stunned disbelief. And perhaps it was just his imagination, but the atmosphere inside the villa suddenly felt different—almost as if the air itself had grown intoxicating."Ms. Stanton, we'll be taking our leave then." Just then, the Cortex Team tactfully departed. They even glanced at Evan before leaving. After all, they knew what Ivana intended to do and understood that the reason she summoned Evan over today was more than just gi
