Chapter 250
Chapter 250 The Last Time in This Lifetime
Over there, Evelyn was lying on her living room sofa, leisurely eating peanuts while
watching TV.
Out of the blue, she received a call from Joseph, listening in a daze as he spoke at length
on the other end.
It wasn’t until Joseph finished speaking that Evelyn responded with a puzzled expression, “Mr. ck,
I’m not going to Richmond. My parents just returned from abroad these past few days, and I’m taking
time off to stay at home with them.”
Mina, who was nearby, overheard her on the phone and immediately came closer, her
face full of curiosity as she whispered, “Your boss?
Is the boss a man? What’s going on? You just took a two-day break, and now someone’s showing
concern for you?”
Evelyn awkwardly pushed her mother, signaling her not to speak recklessly.
From over there, Joseph’s voice could be heard. “Ah, so you’re bringing your parents to Richmond.
Alright, alright, just give me a call when you arrive. I’ll be the host and treat
you and Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore to dinner.”
Mina moved closer, and as she heard the conversation on the phone, her mouth. stretched into a grin
that almost reached the sky.
Look at that, we even have to treat them to a meal.
Can this just be a simple superior-subordinate rtionship?
Can this be a pure rtionship between a boss and an employee?
Evelyn couldn’t understand whether Joseph had a problem with his ears or if there was something off
with his mind.
She was about to exin further, insisting that she wouldn’t go to Richmond, and her parents definitely

wouldn’t go either.
Over there, Joseph continued on his own, “You shoulde over earlier, as I have some documents
that need to be given to Mr. Green. You can pick them up when youe.”
After celebrating the New Year, Evelyn decided to stay in Oceanview City.
There is a branch of Jingron in Oceanview City, and the branch manager is Kennedy. Joseph has
arranged for Evelyn to work as Kennedy’s secretary.
In the blink of an eye, it was already May, and Evelyn had been by Kennedy’s side for
several months now.
Joseph is now assigning a task to Evelyn, asking her to pick up documents for Kennedy.
Evelyn could no longer refuse, so she could only agree. “Alright.”
Not long after hanging up the phone, Mina had already packed her suitcase and, full of enthusiasm,
she dragged Max over to hurry her along.
“Let’s go! I’ve already bought the tickets, so let’s head to Richmond right now!”
Evelyn had a headache and said, “Mom and Dad, what are you doing? I’m just going to pick up a few
documents, and I’ll be back soon.”
Mina, with a “I don’t buy it” expression on her face, said, “Come on, stop acting. Which boss would
personally call you thiste at night, asking you to go out of town to pick up some documents?
Just find someone to bring this document over, what’s the rtionship between you two? No need to
hide anything!”
Evelyn held her forehead and said, “Mom, please stop imagining things. He’s my boss, my direct
superior, and he’s worth over 20 billion dors. He’s already married. You’re giving your daughter way
too much credit.”
Mina looked impatient, “Stop pretending, just go now. Mom has arranged so many blind dates for you
Richmond, let’s just treat it as a vacation for mom
and dad!”
Evelyn had given in, and there was no stopping her. All she could do was awkwardly bring her parents
along and fly to Richmond.
By the time we arrived at the airport on the other side, it was alreadyte at night.
Evelyn wasn’t familiar with Richmond and was worried about whether she would be able to find a taxi in
the early hours of the morning.
As soon as she arrived at the airport lobby, she happened to see Adrian walking toward
1.
At this time, the airport wasn’t very crowded, making Adrian quite noticeable as he walked over.
Adrian, with his tall stature, exudes an extraordinary aura even in a simple shirt.
Mina excitedly asked Evelyn, who was beside her, “Look over there, is that your boss?”
Upon taking a nce, Max couldn’t help but exim, “This young man is truly outstanding!”
Is there a crack in the ground I can crawl into? Someone, please save me.
She was puzzled, wondering how there could be such a coincidence in the world.
At one in the morning, who would have thought I’d bump into Adrian at the airport?
Is his private jet just for show? Why does he have to wait until 1 a.m. to board?
Adrian walked straight over to them, greeting Max and Mina with exceptional politeness and elegance.
“Hello Mr. Moore, hello Mrs. Moore. Joseph mentioned that you would being, so he specifically
asked me to pick you up. I hope I’m notte?”
Mina’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him, too excited to even speak.
Max asked with a smile, “We just arrived too, who is Joseph?”
Adrian promptly replied, “It’s Evelyn’s boss, Jingron’s supervisor.”
As he spoke, he effortlessly took the suitcase from Evelyn’s hands.
“Allow me.
Mina understood what was going on.
The boss of his own daughter arranged for this gentleman to pick them up.
At thiste hour, well past midnight, the gentleman was still helping his daughter carry
her suitcase. Their closeness was evident.
Mina subtly pulled Max back a bit, signaling him to step behind, giving her daughter

and Adrian some Intimate space for their long-awaited reunion.
Evelyn was forced to walk ahead with Adrian, gritting her teeth and lowering her voice, “What do you
mean?”
Adrian’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just perfect for Mina, who was
eavesdropping from behind, to hear.
“What do you want to talk about? Let’s discuss it slowly when we get back. The 150 million dors
betrothal gift you mentioned, I have it all prepared and will give it to Mr. and Mrs. Mooreter.”
Upon hearing this, it couldn’t be more obvious to Mina – they were already together.
Just, a 150 million dors betrothal gift? When did my daughter be so bold to ask
for this?
Well, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a betrothal gift or not. In the end, it’ll still be used for our
daughter and son-inw, like buying a house or a car.
It took Evelyn quite a while to react, “What? I was just talking nonsense!”
However, a 150 million dors betrothal gift is indeed quite a lot. It would take her many years to earn
that much.
Should I say it or not? Has this narcissist really prepared for the worst-case scenario?
She tilted her head, looking at Adrian curiously, “You really brought it?”
For a rare moment, Adrian restrained his prideful expression and took out a card from his wallet,
handing it to Evelyn.
Evelyn reached out to take a look, but after some thought, she realized that even if she looked, she
wouldn’t know how much money was inside.
Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Adrian had already ced the card in her palm and, along
with the card, held her hand.
“Money and goods exchanged simultaneously, don’t try to cheat.”
Evelyn’s ears turned red, and she shook her head a few times, but couldn’t shake off his
hand.
Tune in
Deborah and Joseph’s wedding was scheduled for Independence Day.
When Ashton saw the news, he was in a hospital room.
Ever since the bone marrow transnt and tumor removal surgery, his body has been
recovering poorly.
The doctor advised that after surgery, one should avoid smoking and alcohol, as well as
staying upte.
But he couldn’t do any of it.
The lung cancer has recurred, and not only that, he has also been diagnosed with severe
depression.
Jeff advised him to cooperate with the treatment, and to heal step by step, slowly and
steadily.
But he didn’t want to think about it anymore, he was tired, and he truly felt that it was
no longer necessary.
Ashton browsed through the news on his phone.
Deborah and Joseph are preparing to get married, and Deborah is getting acquainted with the Moxley
family.
Deborah and Joseph attended an event together, where Deborah acquired a significant
percentage of shares in the Moxley Group.
News rted to this topic is everywhere.
At first, Ashton would deliberately search for information, butter on, he didn’t even need to do that.
As soon as he opened his phone and browsed the news, those things would effortlessly flood into his
line of sight.
Deborah was doing great, so great that she had never experienced such happiness during all those
years she had spent with Ashton.
It was something Ashton had never given her.
In the past, Ashton often thought that if Deborah were to leave him, she would
undoubtedly struggle to move forward and would find it difficult to carry on.
Only now did he realize that after leaving him, her life truly began to go smoothly, and everything
started to get better.
It was truly over between them, and nothing remained.
Deborah has a new life, with everything fresh and exciting.
All of that, had nothing to do with him, Ashton, anymore.
The only regret she has left now is that, without a uterus, she cannot have a child with Joseph.
Ashton thought about this and looked at Jeff, who was standing nearby, “How’s the progress with the
foreign hospital we contacted earlier?”
Jeff’s face was full of concern, but upon hearing the words, he snapped back to reality and replied, “Mr.
Mullen, everything has been arranged. As long as Ms. Shepherd is willing, there shouldn’t be any
issues with the uterus transnt.”
Ashton nodded, “Alright, you can go now.
Jeff felt uneasy and hesitated for a moment, but eventually stepped out of the ward and
waited outside the door.
Ashton took out his phone and called Alyssa.
Alyssa’s phone is sometimes on her person.
During school and recording sessions, they will be in the hands of their parents or
agents.
Ashton listened to the sound of the phone waiting to be connected, feeling somewhat afraid that it
might be Deborah on the other end, yet also experiencing a sudden sense of anticipation.
If I could hear her voice, perhaps it would be thest time.
