Zero Mercy: The Aloof Ex's Meltdown의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

"Alright, Angela, that's enough," Heath said gently.Angela had been holding it in the entire way, initially intending not to resort to cursing. But the moment she started talking about it, she couldn't control her rising anger and ended up snapping completely.She finally clamped her mouth shut."The Ellington acquisition will get sorted out, I promise," Heath told Evelyn. "You don't need to talk to Carlton."He had a pretty good idea that her sudden hospitalization had been triggered by a confrontation with Carlton.Angela chimed in immediately, "Exactly! Don't worry, Evelyn. We're not afraid of that jerk. We're absolutely not losing to a scumbag like Carlton—"Heath shot her a warning glance.Angela pouted and stopped her rant.Seeing that, Evelyn couldn't help but crack a small smile.Things had escalated far beyond a simple corporate buyout. It was now a full-blown war of capital between Gallant Capital and Colorcloud Capital.Just then, a sharp knock sounded at the door

Walter was buried in work, pushing to tie up all the loose ends before Christmas.With the wedding firmly set for Christmas Day, the logistical arrangements fell entirely on Louise's shoulders, as everyone else was stretched thin.Evelyn was the only one with time to spare.The weather had been beautiful the past couple of days, so she spent her afternoons lounging on a rocking chair on the balcony, basking in the sun, and reading stories to her unborn baby from a picture book.The little one was growing increasingly restless, clearly eager to make an entrance into the world.Ever since her release from the hospital, Mason was the only one who had dropped by to see her.Francine had called once to check in. Upon learning that Evelyn was resting at her parents' house, she hadn't pressed further.Evelyn could tell that Francine simply didn't want to waste any more breath. After all, she had already warned her a few times.On Christmas Eve, a call came in from Shaw Manor, requesti

Inside the hotel, Evelyn and Heath's group were seated at the head table. Walter, Louise, and Julian finally joined them after completing their rounds of toasts.On such a joyous day, every face in the room was lit up with a smile.After finishing her meal, Evelyn lingered at the table chatting with Angela. Nearby, she overheard Julian and Mason talking shop, the two men looking as though they had instantly found kindred spirits.The integration of game development and advanced AI had become incredibly mainstream.Mason's upcoming gaming project relied heavily on this synergy, though the level of technical sophistication he required was far beyond standard industry benchmarks.He had previously partnered with a top-tier tech firm that offered incredibly lucrative terms. However, even after a month of grueling, around-the-clock collaboration, the output fell short of Mason's vision, leaving him deeply frustrated.Yet, after just a few minutes of back-and-forth with Julian, a glimm

The next day, Evelyn received a call from Francine, instructing her to return to Shaw Manor that afternoon. She had no choice but to comply.Around 11:00 am, Julian drove her over to Shaw Manor.As the car pulled up outside the grand gates, Mason was already waiting for them.He had stayed the night there. Knowing Evelyn was coming, he had stepped out early to meet her. Seeing Julian at the wheel, he walked up to greet him."Go on in with Mason, Eve," Julian said gently."Okay."Mason looked at Julian. "Julian, since you're already here, why don't you come inside with us?""No, it's fine. Take Eve in," Julian declined smoothly.Throughout this entire marriage, the Shaws had never once extended an invitation to the Ramseys. Crashing the gates now would only create an awkward scene for everyone.Recognizing this, Mason didn't push. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of her. I can drive her home afterward.""Thanks."Just then, a sleek Bentley rolled up to the gates, gliding pas

When Rita had been lecturing Evelyn, Francine hadn't said a single word.However, likely out of consideration for the impending arrival of the baby, Francine had still gone to the trouble of preparing a gift for her to bring back.Louise accepted the bag, looking entirely unenthusiastic. She didn't even bother to open it. A self-deprecating smile played on her lips. "As if a modest family like ours is worth any of Mrs. Shaw Senior's kindness."After setting the bag down on the coffee table, she helped Evelyn into the bathroom first.Once Evelyn had finished washing up and came out, the two women sat together on the couch.As they chatted, Louise suddenly asked, "Eve, have you ever thought about taking the baby and just leaving?"Carlton was so cold-blooded and ruthless. Leaving the child in his hands was a terrifying thought.Evelyn caressed her stomach, letting out a helpless sigh. "That thought has crossed my mind. Carlton might not care about this baby, but the rest of the Sh
