Evelyn reacted swiftly. She hurriedly ducked aside to avoid the hot coffee. However, the scalding hot coffee still splashed onto her leg. It hurt her so much that she gasped loudly in pain.Just as she was about to demand answers from Clara, she looked up and saw the bitch throwing herself against the glass cabinet behind her.On instinct, Evelyn reached out and grabbed her, but Clara shook her off.Crash!Clara's elbow crashed into the glass front, shattering it to pieces. The broken glass cut into her skin, making her bleed onto the ground.Just then, Evelyn heard Warren's voice behind her. "Evelyn Jefferson! What the fuck are you doing?"Warren's towering figure appeared as he rushed over to Clara. His eyes were turning darker and darker. "Are you alright?"Clara's face was streaked with tears. She sobbed as she said, "Warren, it's all my fault. I accidentally spilled coffee on Ms. Jefferson, and she thought I did it on purpose, so she pushed me. But don't blame her for thi
Warren froze. Then, he threw a cold look in Evelyn's direction."If you want to die, then by all means, do it."A mocking look appeared on Evelyn's face. "Why do you think I haven't been through that? What if I told you I'd just lost 2000 ml of blood? Would you still force me to donate blood to her?""Evelyn, stop all this nonsense. The maximum blood loss during your period is typically around 60 ml. Next time, try thinking up a more plausible excuse."Evelyn smiled bitterly. She'd already made it so clear to him, yet he still didn't believe her.If he was concerned about her a bit more, he'd continue asking her about it. And if he understood her a little more, he would also know that she was never reluctant to help other people.But this was the reality that showed if he truly loved her or not.Clara's tiny scratch sent him into such a frenzy, and yet, she'd been through a dangerous miscarriage and even went under the knife for it, but he never realized.Their conversation lef
Evelyn opened her eyes and saw a familiar face. She clung to him like he was her last salvation.Her voice was weak as she said, "Seth, please, take me away."She didn't want Warren to see her in a mess like this. She didn't want to see the pity in his eyes. She didn't want anything but to leave this place as quickly as possible.Seth Yarrow, her senior, looked at her anxiously and asked, "How are you supposed to go home like this? I'm taking you to a doctor.""No! Please, Seth, I just donated blood to someone, so I feel lightheaded. Just send me home, please."Seth looked at her with concern and empathy in his eyes. He bent down and carried Evelyn in his arms, saying in a soothing voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm taking you away now."When Warren finally ran out after Evelyn, he happened to see Evelyn being carried into a car by an unknown man. The man was looking at Evelyn with deep concern. It made Warren so angry that he clenched his fists as he watched the car leave, his eyes tu
Clara was very loud on the phone. Evelyn could hear her. She also heard Warren's heartbreaking response.Evelyn suddenly felt as if all seven years of her love for him had just been flushed down the toilet.Looking coldly at Warren, she said, "I only told Mandy to make a copy of the footage for me. I never told her to delete it."Warren looked back at her expressionlessly and said, "We have proof, and we have witnesses. And you're still trying to fight it?"Evelyn laughed miserably. Why did she even bother explaining things to Warren? Did she really think he was still going to believe her?As long as it had anything to do with Clara, he would immediately take her side—without fail.Evelyn pressed her lips together and forced herself to calm down. "If that's the case, then just file for an investigation. I've done nothing of the sort, and nobody can force me to admit it. I don't care if my family is ruined because of this. I'm going to prove my innocence!"Evelyn had always bee
Evelyn asked, "What did you say? You were the one who set me up with Warren back then?"Gertrude let out an icy snort. "How else do you think it happened? Did you think Warren was your knight in shining armor? Use your brain—there's no reason for someone like Warren to show up at such a remote alley."If it weren't for the trap your cousin and I devised, you wouldn't have been able to live such a life of luxury over the past three years. Yet, you are unsatiated. You covet the position of Mrs. Larkin."With such a shameless mother, do you expect any wealthy family in Bramston City to marry you? You must return to Warren no matter what. "Otherwise, I'll make sure everyone knows what kind of mother you have," Gertrude said through gritted teeth. It was as though the two of them were not related by blood.From the wound on Evelyn's forehead, blood trickled down her face and through her pursed lips. The metallic taste of blood exploded in her mouth.She felt a sudden sense of repugna
Evelyn didn't even need to think before she replied, "I can do anything but that."Warren pinched her chin between two fingers and let out a soft chuckle. "But I only want this.""Warren, I don't care whether you think I had ulterior motives for approaching you. I have taken very good care of you for the past three years. I don't owe you anything. You have no reason not to let me go."He stared fixedly into Evelyn's unyielding eyes, listened to her babble, and traced the faint contours of her cleavage.His Adam's apple rolled about a couple of times.He pulled her onto his lap and rested his chin on her shoulder, his voice low and husky as he murmured, "Then, tell me in detail how you took care of me."His deep, magnetic voice sent tingles across her scalp. Meanwhile, his hands cunningly reached under her shirt.Evelyn tried her best to break away from his grip but found herself tightly bound within his arms.In dire straits, she lowered her head and sank her teeth into his sho
Evelyn raised her head to meet Warren's eyes. Her gaze was cold, and the whites of her eyes were streaked with red."So what if I am? Are you going to pin me to the operating table and force me through an abortion?"Warren's eyes dimmed. He stared fixedly at her haggard face for a good while.Moments later, he spoke up. "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?"Evelyn sneered, "Were you hoping you could have the child aborted earlier than today?""Evelyn Jefferson, can you listen to what I have to say?" Warren clutched her chin between two fingers.With red eyes, she gazed at him. "You're about to get married and have children with someone else. What does it matter if I'm pregnant myself?"Warren scrutinized Evelyn's stubborn expression and discreetly gnashed his teeth.Evelyn's attempt to wriggle free was futile as he led her by the wrist in the direction of the obstetrics and gynecology operating room.She longed to break free, but his uncompromising voice onl
Warren snapped, "You aborted our child just because I ignored you when you were throwing a tantrum? Evelyn Jefferson, how come I never knew you to be so heartless?"Evelyn glared at him with crimson eyes. "I told you, I didn't! The one who caused our baby's death is not me. It's you!""It's all written in black and white. Why are you still trying to argue?""If I told you someone tampered with the medical records, would you believe me?"Warren sneered, "Larkin Corporation runs this hospital. Once the case is entered into the database, it gets locked. Not even I can change it. You should've planned your lies in advance!"He released his grip, staring at the red marks he left on the pale skin of her neck—a piercing pain shot through his heart.Ashen-faced, Evelyn stared back at him.This was the man she had loved for seven years and took care of for three years. Yet, there never came a time when he was willing to believe the credibility of her words.Her lips pulled into a desola
