Chapter 1766


    Chapter 1766


    Everett opened his eyes in exhaustion. In the dark, they were cold and emotionless. "Okay."


    Dick looked at Everett''s eyes from the rear-view mirror, searching for any emotions Everett had for


    Cam, who was Everett''s close friend for 7 years. However, there was nothing in Everett''s eyes. The


    way it looked, he did not miss Cam at all. It was as if the man who had shouldered all the me for him


    was nothing but an acquaintance to him.


    Dick issued a mental sigh at that thought. He initially thought that Everett would still be kind to his


    friends, even though he was a cold, calcting person. But now, Dick felt like he had never known


    Everett as a person.


    Everett rolled the window down, feeling more energetic now. "I didn’t expect that Jared would be able


    to trace me. Interesting."


    Everett did not feel like he had failed. Instead, he began smirking in intrigue.


    "Jared sure is something," he said.


    It seemed like he could not hide anymore.


    Dick said, "Everett, you''ve been holding back for so long. I''m worried that you won''t be able to hide

    after going against Jared."


    Everett smiled. "There''s no need for that anymore. No one in my family can hold me back anymore."


    Back then, Damien was still useful to him, and that was why he still respected andmitted to favors


    for him. However, Damien had no ce in the family anymore, and thus, the only person Everett was


    left to fight for was himself.


    "That''s good. I don''t want to see you suffering anymore, either." Dick tightened his grip on the steering


    wheel.


    He had waited for this day for too long.


    It was then that Everett smiled. "I don''t have to suffer, but our enemies are Jared and Nicole. It''s not


    easy to go up against those two." "I know. But we''re not Jared''s only enemy..." Dick said mockingly as


    he handed Everett a file.


    "I heard Harvey tweaked the contract between them, and Jared is not on good terms with him... Maybe


    this is our chance." "Oh? Seems like we have an aplice." Everett chuckled and opened the file.


    His smile turned brighter after looking at Harvey''s picture.


    "I''m very impressed with this guy," he said, as Harvey was simr to him in some respects.


    Though many were not able to see through Harvey''s facade, like-minded people like Everett could see


    through everything...


    "Perhaps we can work together," Dick suggested.


    Everett then wore a domineering look. "We can consider that. Look into Harvey''s history for me. Find


    something nasty that''s useful for me."


    Dick immediately knew what he meant, after which he said, "Got it."


    Everett always knew how to work with someone, and that was to have a stranglehold on their dirty


    information which was obviously tweaked by himself, so it had no issues in it.


    Soon after, their car arrived at Damien''s house.


    "We''re here, Everett." Dick halted the car.


    "Okay." Everett nodded and waited for Dick to open the door for him before getting down.


    Dick then mmed the door shut once Everett had gotten down.


    But from that m, Dick noticed that his car had a weird ringing sound emanating from within.


    "Watch out!!!" He immediately lunged forward and held Everett down.


    Boom!!!


    A surge of mes burst forth, and with it, a loud bang whereupon the temperatures rose abruptly.


    Dick''s back was hurting badly, but he did not let Everett go. The side of Everett''s face could feel the


    burning heat as well, but before he could react, he was already flying across the street with Dick


    holding onto him. And with a bang, his back mmed onto the ground with great impact. Due to the


    loud explosion, he could not hear anything either. He felt dizzy, and all he could see were mes


    dancing about.


    Damien''s family immediately rushed out after hearing such a loudmotion, but all they could see


    was Everett being held down by his assistant.


    "Everett! What happened?!" Damien rushed over with the butler.


    The butler quickly moved Dick away after seeing that he wasying atop Everett.


    "Mr. Cruz?" Dick had already passed out, and the back of his shirt was scorched, so much so that his


    flesh could be seen.


    Damien helped Everett up and allowed him to lean on him. "Everett! Are you okay?!"


    Damien had never cared about Everett this much before, and therefore, Everett felt warm in his


    embrace.


    He attempted to get a hold of himself while battling to stifle the swirling images in his head. "Dad... I''m


    fine..."


    He was still alive, but his ears were ringing, his vision was unstable, and he was nauseous.


    "Mr. Damien, Mr. Everett''s face has been wounded. Send him to the hospital!" The butler quickly told


    Damien upon noticing Damien''s face.


    "Call an ambnce!" Damien yelled at the staff, who quickly phoned the hospital.


    Miley was taking care of Chloe in the hospital, and Damien was the only one at home, so he got into


    the ambnce with Everett.


    After ten minutes or so, Everett was finally sent to the hospital for immediate medical attention. Damien


    could finally feel relieved.


    The doctor then inspected him and said, "He has a minor concussion.


    Mostly minor injuries, but his face has been severely burned."


    Then, the doctor quickly treated him, which left him grinding his teeth in pain.


    In the midst of it all, his heart was filled with hatred. ''F*ck... My face!''


    He would definitely not let the person who injured him off the hook.


    When the doctor was done treating Everett''s wounds, Damien asked," Everett, what happened? Why


    would your car explode?"


    Everett looked at Damien and feigned innocence. ‘I think... It''s Jared Johnston." "Jared?" Damien


    frowned. "What do you mean? Are you saying that he did something to your car? Why?" ''Everett and


    Jared did not have beef with one other, so why would Jared do this to him?''


    Seeing this, Everett continued his act. "I wanted to get the fire crest for you... So, I did something to


    Nicole''s car... This is probably Jared''s way of exacting revenge." "What?!" Damien was shocked. "You


    did something to Nicole? When was this? Why don''t I know about this?"


    Everett maintained his look of innocence. "I didn''t want to drag you down, so I did it myself. Getting


    caught was not something I had seening."


    Damien''s gaze immediately turned cold. "Still, he can''t do this to you!


    Nicole just paralyzed my daughter, and Jared wants to kill my son now?!"


    Even if he wanted to maintain his tolerance ande up with a better n, his daughter was


    paralyzed and his son had almost died. With that in mind, Damien was not able to hold his anger back


    anymore.
