《The Revenge of My Alluring Wife》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Dead On the rooftop of the Woods Building. The scent of blood pervaded the atmosphere. Evelyn Taylor, who¡¯s hand was cruelly bound to the railing, contorted and deformed . Her body hung outside the skyscraper, swaying precariously in the strong wind, teetering on the edge. Her face was covered in injuries and blood, it was so disfigured that no trace of the original skin could be discerned. Mia Taylor, the mastermind behind all this, raised an eyebrow, looking down on Evelyn with a scornful and contemptuous expression. ¡°Evelyn, look at the man around me, the designer brands on my body, the diamond watch on my wrist, and, oh, my beautiful face ¨C they are all funded by your money.¡± Miaughed wildly, ¡°Rest assured, I¡¯m a person who repays kindness. After you die, I¡¯ll make sure to find a smelly ditch as your burial ground. Hahaha¡­¡± Evelyn, opening her eyes sealed by dried blood, stared fiercely at William Martinez,-the man she had once loved, the man who had deceived her from the beginning to the end. He stood there, coldly watching her hanging outside the building, watching her to die. ¡°Why?¡± Evelyn¡¯s voice sounded somewhat fragile, but for some reason, it sent chills down his spine. William visibly trembled, remained silent ¡­ Mia sneered, snuggled into William¡¯s embrace, ¡°Why? Haha, so stupid question. You don¡¯t know why? It¡¯s all for me. Otherwise, why would he endure the nausea to stay by your side for so long?¡± ¡°William, say something.¡± Mia pinched William¡¯s waist as she spoke. William hurriedly pulled Mia into his arms. ¡°I don¡¯t even want to waste my time on such a bi*tch. If it weren¡¯t for using her to grab the cripple¡¯s property, I wouldn¡¯t even want to look at her. Darling, everything I do is for you.¡± With a disdainful look, he even spat towards Evelyn. Evelyn¡¯s heart felt like it had been stabbed ruthlessly. A dull pain spread across her chest, and her expression gradually twisted. In her dpidated throat, a beast-like roar erupted. ¡°You¡­ You both will have a miserable end, Mia and William. I curse you. Even if I be a ghost, I will never let you off.¡± Saying this, Evelyn gritted her teeth, lifting her other hand with great difficulty to untie the ropes tied her hand from the railing. She felt her broken hand slide out of the ropes. She imagined herself about to fall from a great height, anticipating the imminent release and liberation. But her body didn¡¯t plummet as expected. Instead, a warm hand tightly held hers. It¡¯s Henry, her husband, the man they referred to as the cripple. He just arrived, held her tightly. ¡°Evelyn, don¡¯t give up, please¡­.¡± Evelyn¡¯s consciousness was hazy. She exerted all her strength to open her eyes and only saw Henry kneeling at the edge of the rooftop. William, wearing a sinister expression, ruthlessly kicking Henry¡¯s spine. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his body trembled incessantly. ¡°No, Henry!¡± Warm blood with tears, who ever konws, Evelyn just felt a gentle heat on her face. She recalled the first time they met, their marrige, their heated arguments, recalling this man¡¯s Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. tolerance and forbearance, hispromise and disappointment towards her. She remembered the now, still wants to save her. The painful realization settled in her heart, a bitter taste lingering on her lips. Now she only knew that she couldn¡¯t owe this man any longer. ¡°Henry, let go. If there¡¯s a next life, I¡¯ll make it up to you.¡± Evelyn used all her strength to forcefully push away Henry¡¯s hand, and her body rapidly descended. ¡°No, Evelyn ¡± The air was filled with Henry¡¯s heart-wrenching screams. Everything hase to an end, the happy and the sad. But, she is really unwilling to ept it. She has not yet retaliated against that scoundrel and the b*itch. Why was fate so unfair? With a resounding crash, Evelyn¡¯s world was filled with pain. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Return Back Pain, an excruciating pain, that¡¯s all Evelyn can feel now . Especially the wound on her wrist, the pain tugged at her entire body. ¡®Unexpectedly, even as a ghost, I could feel such pain¡¯. Evelyn cursed in her heart. She opened her eyes, unexpectedly meeting a pair of eyes that made her tremble. This wasn¡¯t the hell she had imagined¡­ ¡®It¡¯s him¡­¡¯ Her heart trembled slightly, a bit of pain pricking at it. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes. It¡¯s Henry. How is it possible? She fell from the top floor¡­ In front of her, this man had a slender jawline, pale skin, eyes as deep as ice¨Ccold and indifferent, yet seeming to burn with raging mes, which threw Evelyn into a state of panic. It was him, unbelievably. How could it be him, but it turned out to be him. ¡°Henry!¡± Evelyn¡¯s eyes shimmered with excitement. Until her wrist was suddenly pulled forcefully, Evelyn realized that her hand was bleeding. However, it wasn¡¯t a broken bone, it¡¯s the wound came from her shed wrist, it¡¯s still bleeding. The cut? The wrist? Suicide?? Wasn¡¯t that happened few years ago? How could it be¡­ Rebirth? How could that be possible? Evelyn looked at the familiar bedroom anxiously, but as soon as she moved, she was forcefully pressed onto the bed by someone. ¡°Still want to run? Evelyn, am I not treating you well? You tossed yourself like this for another man??¡± Henry¡¯s eyes reddened, and hisrge hands kept tightening, as if he wanted to break Evelyn¡¯s wrist. ¡°Since you want to die so much, I¡¯ll let you die, in another way, happily.¡± Henry bent down, crazily biting Evelyn¡¯s neck. ¡°Listen carefully, even if you die, you¡¯ll still be my woman in this lifetime.¡± His voice was filled with pain and helplessness. *** He bound both of her hands to her head with one hand and then quickly stripped all her clothes with This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. the other hand. Her fair skin was exposed to the air, and she couldn¡¯t help but tremble and let out a moaning. Henry¡¯s eyes reddened. He tenderly caressed her face as if handling a precious treasure. Suddenly, a hint of sorrow crossed his mind, and he leaned down, passionately capturing her lips. His kiss came with an urgency that left her breathless. His hand trailed down from her face, gently exploring the contours of her neck before descending to her chest, his touch lingering with a teasing intensity¡­ As the heat between them intensified, he delicately parted her legs¡­ Shattered, Evelyn felt like she was being torn apart. She endured pain a thousand times stronger than her wrist, yet did not stop Henry, allowing him to act freely, obediently bing his woman. Tears welled up in Evelyn¡¯s eyes as one trembling hand rested on Henry¡¯s muscr waist. ¡®It hurts so much.¡¯ But the pain make her felt so real. Evelyn was very happy; she had truly been reborn¡­ Everything can start anew, there¡¯s still a chance for everything. For that scoundrel and that despicable woman, this time, she won¡¯t let them off. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 First Encounter About five months ago, when Evelyn went to the hospital to visit a friend, she encountered Henry, who was undergoing rehabilitation. He fell in love with her at first sight, and the next day, the Taylor family received a betrothal gift from the Wilson family. This news struck Evelyn like a thunderbolt. Everyone in Memphis knew that Henry was a ruthless man-cold, bloodthirsty, brutal, and fierce. After his leg injury, he became even more ominous, and even his own family members feared him. Evelyn feared him too, no matter how much she resisted, she sumbed to the greed of her family and Henry¡¯s drastic approach, forced into the marriage. She felt resentment and hatred, unwilling tomunicate with Henry. Influenced by Mia and William, their interactions oscited between arguments and quarrels, creating chaos within the Wilson family. In the end, not only did she meet a tragic fate, but she also harmed Henry. Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. This time, she threatened Henry by going on a hunger strike and cutting her wrists, almost bringing herself to death. It was for William¡¯s sake. How stupid!! Despite being forcefully married by Henry, he treated her well. He couldn¡¯t tolerate her harming herself, and this time, Evelyn went too far,pletely wearing out Henry¡¯s patience and ying herself into trouble. In her previous life, she behaved like a madwoman, creating unreasonable troubles that resulted in her getting injured. She ended up staying in the hospital for a whole month. *** This lifetime¡­ Evelyn felt the lingering pain in her body. Fortunately, she had learned her lesson. She was still immersed in her memories when the man beside her suddenly climbed out of bed, dragging her into the bathroom and forcefully pinning her against the mirror. The woman in the mirror was beautiful, but the exhaustion couldn¡¯t be concealed. Evelyn¡¯s eyes were bruised, days of fasting had left her eyes lifeless, devoid of any vitality. She looked more like a beautiful yet lifeless corpse. ¡°Look at yourself!.¡± As Henry spoke, he took out gauze and wrapped it around the bleeding wound on Evelyn¡¯s wrist. The bleeding stopped, and the pain lessened. Evelyn, watching Henry, who was still wrathful but delicately tending to her wounds, felt a mix of guilt and resentment. She med herself for being too foolish in her past life. She hurt such a good man who loved her so much,, and tortured herself for that disgusting scoundrel. Henry finished dressing the wound and looked up to see Evelyn in tears, a pang of difort raised in his heart. He reached out towards her, but Evelyn instinctively dodged. His hand froze in mid-air. .. ¡°Are you afraid of me?¡± His gaze turned icy. ¡°If yes, behave yourself. Or wait to watch how I¡¯ll deal with you¡­.¡± Henry didn¡¯t finish his sentence. He sarcastically sighed. What could he do if there was another time? With just a nce from her, all his principles could be mere decorations. ¡°I¡­,¡± Evelyn tried to exin, but Henry turned and walked away. Evelyn felt a sudden emptiness in her heart. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± Her immediate reaction was to keep Henry from leaving, but as she sat on the washstand, her hands couldn¡¯t reach him. She had to resort to using her feet. As soon as Henry turned around, he saw two round toes holding onto the edge of his white shirt. Evelyn was fair, so fair that even the shirt seemed dull in her presence. Henry¡¯s throat rolled, his eyes growing darker, the repressed desire bubbling up. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Don¡¯t Leave When Henry looked back, Evelyn knew she had caused trouble. Her eyes became teary, carefully watching Henry. ¡°Could you not leave?¡± Evelyn silently withdrew her feet, only to be stopped midway by Henry¡¯s warm hand. Henry stared at her, his voice hoarse, ¡°Evelyn, do you know what you¡¯re doing?¡± After being forced for four years in the previous life, Evelyn couldn¡¯t not know what this hoarse and suppressed voice meant. She whispered, ¡°I know¡­¡± Her head lowered, revealing a clear view of her pink profile. Henry¡¯s heart trembled fiercely. Is she blushing? Immediately, he vetoed the thought. Evelyn hated him, found him disgusting, wanted him to stay away at all times, even hoped he would disappear forever. Henry¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°What are you ying at again¡­¡± A trick! Before he could finish his sentence, Evelyn shifted along the washstand, using all her strength to loop her legs around his waist. She grabbed his loosely tied tie, lift her head. ¡°I said, don¡¯t leave.¡± Evelyn¡¯s eyes sparkled, a pair of captivating eyes, exuding a mesmerizing charm. Henry¡¯s throat tightened, his expression softened. Evelyn was satisfied with his reaction. Stretching out, she didn¡¯t even care if she could maintain bnce, wrapping her slender arms around Henry¡¯s neck. Henry¡¯s hands instinctively gripped her plump buttocks, savoring the firm yet soft texture beneath his fingers. The sensation was undeniably pleasurable, prompting an involuntary squeeze. Unable to resist the temptation, he curled his lips, pulled her closer. A surge of passion overwhelming him as he passionately pressed his lips against hers in a fervent kiss. He gently lifted her, cradling her in his arms, and carried her back to the bed. His robust physique pressed against hers as he lowered her onto the soft mattress. His right hand moved with deliberate slowness, sensually caressing her @mple chest, igniting a fiery response from her. His mouth, consumed by desire, greedily explored that specific spot, leaving a trail of heated kisses. Evelyn, unable to contain herself, let out an involuntary moan. . But¡­ ¡°Henry, I¡¯m exhausted,¡± Evelyn spoke abruptly at the crucial moment. Henry froze momentarily, but quickly responded. He rolled over, considerately covering her with the nket. Evelyn understood-Henry was still the same as before, unable to resist any of her requests. ¡®What did the women who liked Henry in my previous life called me?¡¯ Yes, seductress. So let it be . Forcing to be gentle and elegant for a lifetime only leads to a miserable end. In this lifetime, she would be a seductress-a temptress crafted specifically to allure Henry. Thinking this, Evelyn fell asleep. Henry looked at his already e*rect manhood, smiling indulgently and helplessly, even if he is on the verge of an explosive release. *** Evelyn was awakened by her phone¡¯s ringing. At this time, the only person looking for her would be her scheming younger sister, Mia, the one who had orchestrated her entire life. Fasting and cutting wrists were tactics Mia had ¡°kindly¡± taught her. Evelyn remembered that Mia had given her a knife, iming it was special and would only leave a fake wound when used for self-harm-a scare tactic to manipte Henry. Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Feeling the pain in her wrist, she got up and retrieved the knife, smiling as she replied to Mia¡¯s message. If anyone were present, they would have noticed how sinister Evelyn¡¯s smile was. After receiving Mia¡¯s reply, Evelyn changed into a nightgown andzilyy back on the bed. In her previous life, Mia and William¡¯s maniption had left a deep mark on her. This time, she was determined to make them understand what is blood debts and retribution. *** Henry sat in his study, his gaze unfocused, clearly not focused on his work. His assistant, David Mills, sighed and took out a delicate diamond crown from a toolbox. ¡°Boss, the gift you ordered for Madamst month has arrived. ¡± Henry nced at it, thinking about the unexpected intimacy with Evelyn in the bedroom. His tense nerves gradually eased, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°Take it to her.¡± Saying that, Henry stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll bring it to her myself.¡± Walking towards Evelyn¡¯s bedroom with the crown, they turned a corner and saw Mia entering Evelyn¡¯s room in high heels. Henry stopped, and the air around them instantly dropped to freezing. Allowing Mia to enter and leave the vi freely was Evelyn¡¯s demand. It was ironic that even the house staff knew Mia was just a messenger between Evelyn and William. Just suffered grievances, and now she couldn¡¯t wait to tell that man about it? Henry sneered, ¡°Throw the things away.¡± David shrugged, watching Henry¡¯s determined back, and discreetly put away the crown. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Kill Her Evelyn¡¯s room, is personally designed by Henry. Every piece of furniture, even a small ornament in the corner were meticulously crafted by skilled artisans. Mia gazed at the vanity filled with dazzling jewelry, her eyes filled with malice. ¡®These things should rightfully belong to me. Sooner orter, I¡¯ll take everything from her. Evelyn, she doesn¡¯t deserve to have these things.¡¯ ¡°Mia?¡± Evelynzily lifted her head from the bed, her breathtaking face under the setting sun hurt Mia deeply. Quickly suppressing her emotions, Mia nced at Evelyn¡¯s injured wrist and anxiously inquired, ¡°Evelyn, how is it going? Did things work out?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know that William is so worried about you. He asked me to tell you that as long as he bes powerful, he will definitely snatch you back from Henry and marry you in grand style.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s a man who cares for me like that, even if it costs my life, I¡¯ll help him achieve his wishes.¡± These words, Evelyn heard almost every day in her past life, brainwashed to believe that William loved her deeply. Evelyn¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile. ying with the knife in her hand, her eyes were fixed on Mia¡¯s neck. If she shes it down Mia¡¯s neck¡­ She slowly tightened her grip on the knife¡­ ¡°Hey, Evelyn!¡± Mia was startled by that fierce gaze as she turned her head. ¡°Can you hear me?¡± Mia wondered, ¡®What¡¯s going on today? Normally, Evelyn would be in tears by now.¡¯ Before Mia could figure it out, Evelyn grabbed her wrist. ¡°Put everything aside for now. I have something interesting here, and I haven¡¯t had the chance to let you try it!¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Mia asked. Seeing the knife in Evelyn¡¯s hand, Mia panicked. ¡°Evelyn, you shouldn¡¯t y with knives.¡± ¡°Hmm? Isn¡¯t this the one you gave me? It¡¯s fake anyway, nothing to be afraid of. I used it yesterday; although it hurt a bit, it was quite fun.¡± The de ran across Mia¡¯s wrist. Blood gushed out in an instant. Evelyn smirked, creating a chilling atmosphere. Mia was terrified. She felt like Evelyn wanted to kill her. ¡°Evelyn, I¡­¡± Mia struggled to pull her hand back. Evelyn tightened her grip, as if she wanted to crush Mia¡¯s hand. ¡°What are you afraid of? Don¡¯t you think the knife you gave me is fake, and it can¡¯t cause real harm? Let¡¯s find out.¡± Evelyn yed with the knife, leisurely spreading the blood on the de. She even drew a smiley face on it with unhurried movements. This action was somewhat perverse. Mia was terrified, feeling as if the knife was hanging over her heart. ¡°You must be insane. You must be insane,¡± Mia stammered. ¡°Insane? Like you? seducing the bastard William? Both of you are cheating me. Do you think your actions are noble?¡± Evelyn yed with the knife, her slender fingers slowly spreading the blood on the de. She even drew a smiley face on it with unhurried movements. Mia was terrified. She couldn¡¯t ept that the puppet who had always been obedient suddenly Evelyn, with the knife against Mia¡¯s face, chuckled. Her fingers, so fair, moved slowly, the razor-sharp de teasing Mia¡¯s makeup-covered skin. Mia shivered, afraid that Evelyn might identally cut her face. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Mia couldn¡¯t take it anymore, stumbling backward, shouting and running out, blood-soaked. *** Henry was about to leave when he saw Mia covered in blood. He lifted his leg to go upstairs immediately. Mia stopped him, crying, ¡°Mr. Wilson, save me! My sister wants to kill me. You must exin to her; I don¡¯t want topete with my sister for a man.. I really don¡¯t.¡± It was obvious who the ¡°man¡± was. No matter why Evelyn hurt her, she wouldn¡¯t let this woman off. Mia had heard of Henry¡¯s cruel methods. Well, she was waiting for Evelyn toe to the hospital. Henry¡¯s legs felt as if they were frozen, making each step difficult. Without turning back, he told David, ¡°Take her to the hospital.¡± After saying that, he headed straight to the bedroom. **** The room was dimly lit. Henry didn¡¯t turn on the lights., His sharp eyes fixed on the soft bed. On the bed, Evelyn curled up, her brows furrowed, she was already asleep. Unconsciously, Henry rxed, afraid to disturb the girl. He even lightened his footsteps. He stared down at Evelyn, realizing his original purpose foring to her. Although he cherished her. whom she love is still William The suppressed anger resurfaced, red up. Hisrge hand abruptly pulled away the nket covering the girl. ¡°Evelyn, what trick are you ying again?¡± Just a moment ago, she was attacking Mia. Could she really be asleep now? Evelyn shivered slightly, and in a drowsy state, she opened her eyes a slit. She grabbed his tie and pulled him onto the bed. Caught off guard, Henry found Evelyn nestled in his arms, her small furry head rubbing against his jaw. Soon, she quieted down, not moving. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. This intimate action drove Henry nearly insane. Who did she think he was? Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Henry, I¡¯m Cold Just as Henry was about to pull her arm away, Evelyn moved. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Henry sneered. ¡°Awake? Or can¡¯t pretend anymore?¡± He could almost imagine the disgust the girl in his arms would show him next. Without opening her eyes, Evelyn tilted her head up and fiercely punched Henry¡¯s chest. Her voice sounded both annoyed and petnt. ¡°Cold, Henry, I¡¯m cold.¡± Evelyn¡¯s strength was weak, like scratching an itch. The warmth from the ce where she scratched on Henry¡¯s chest spread from the inside out. She was calling him¡­ Henry? The raging fury in Henry¡¯s heart was instantly extinguished by this sweet voice. Never in his life had he thought his name could sound so melodious. The girl in his arms shrank a bit, and Henry realized Evelyn was genuinely cold. He quickly pulled the nket over them. Afraid of disturbing the rare tranquility, Henry maintained this posture the whole time.. As time passed, he unexpectedly fell asleep. Little did he know, when his breathing became steady, the girl in his arms revealed a mischievous smile, she had more than enough charm to captivate Henry. *** The next morning. When Evelyn woke up, Henry was nowhere to be seen. Evelyn went downstairs and unsurprisingly spotted Henry in the dining room. Hezily leaned back in his chair, a simple breakfast of bread and milk in front of him. Upon seeing Evelyn, he appeared noticeably surprised. Even in the past, Evelyn never appeared in the dining room at the same time as him. She had mentioned that having a meal with someone she disliked would ruin her appetite. Evelyn had long forgotten the nonsense she used to say; all she knew was that she was now ravenously hungry, wishing she could devour whatever can eat. She walked up to Henry, questioned, ¡°Nothing prepared for me? I¡¯m starving to death.¡± Saying that, she pinched the bread in front of Henry and took two hearty bites. Eating too quickly, she identally choked and, in the process, drank Henry¡¯s milk as well. Henry¡¯s deep eyes stared at Evelyn¡¯s mouth, stained with milk. There was a small gap where he had taken a bite. Instead of feeling repulsed, Evelyn ate even more indulgently. With her charming red lips moving, Henry¡¯s mesmerized eyes narrowed, and the gleam in his eyes grew more dangerous. He pulled her into his arms abruptly. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± His voice was low and husky. ¡°Mmm,¡± Evelyn nodded, ¡°Remember to call me next time you¡¯re eating; I¡¯m hungry too.¡± Henry didn¡¯t refute, just asked her in a low voice, ¡°Are you hungry? What should I do? I¡¯m hungry too.?¡± He sensually slid out his tongue, delicately tracing the milk stain at the corner of her mouth. Subsequently, he employed his fingers to gently remove the milk residue from her lips and leisurely savored the taste. Very sweet. A slight smile formed on Henry¡¯s lips. Evelyn blushed, feeling the heat spreading throughout her body. She felt the intense gaze from Henry and hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to continue chewing the bread in her mouth or not. ¡°Boss!¡± David abruptly barged in and was instantly stunned by the scene before him. What did he just witness? The Madam wasn¡¯t making a scene; instead, she sat so peacefully in the boss¡¯s arms? Without further thought, he felt a chill at the back of his neck. As he raised his head, he ran into Henry¡¯s displeased look. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°The meeting is about to start; I¡¯m here to pick you up,¡± David said, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Evelyn stood up, puffing her cheeks. ¡°Since you¡¯re busy, go ahead. I can eat at my own pace..¡± Henry¡¯s gaze deepening. In any case, he wasn¡¯t pleased. David knew he was in trouble. He didn¡¯t dare say more than necessary and silently followed behind Henry. Once the two left, Evelyn poured herself another ss of milk. Before she could take a sip, David returned. ¡°Madam, this is a gift from the Boss.¡± As he set down a diamond crown, he added, ¡°Boss wanted me to tell you that he has agreed to give thend cooperation contract to The Martinez family.¡± ¡°What?¡± Evelyn stood up in surprise. In her previous life, she had wished for thend to be William¡¯s. In this life, she hoped for everything to fall apart, anything is better than giving it to that scumbag. ¡°Yes, Boss promised.¡± David¡¯s smile faded. He continued, ¡°However, the auction invitation has been sent out. Boss means to let that side go through the motions.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Evelyn felt relieved. Then she still has a chance to turn the situation around. David felt very puzzled: Evelyn¡¯s reaction today seemed strange. It was as if she didn¡¯t want The Martinez family to get that piece ofnd at all. Evelyn waved her hand to signal David to leave, then picked up the milk to drink. At that moment, the phone beside the dining table rang. The screen disyed an affectionate nickname: ¡°Dear William Brother.¡± The bastard!! Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Stealing Documents How did shee up with such a disgusting nickname in her previous life? After quickly hunging up the call, Evelyn changed ¡°Dear William Brother¡± to ¡°Jerk¡± in her contacts. She felt much better after doing so. The name triggered many memories for her. William was the illegitimate son adopted by The Martinez family, born to a maid. The old master of The Martinez family favored him. To stand out from the crowd, he used every means to gain power and influence. In her previous life, Evelyn¡¯s grandmother left her over half of the family¡¯s wealth and shares before passing away. Most of it was swindled away by William. Evelyn sighed helplessly. She was still a step toote; those shares and money were already in William¡¯s hands now. How could she just give her things away to that jerk? Touching the key hanging around her neck, Evelyn fell into contemtion. The people she didn¡¯t have a chance to utilize in her previous life shoulde in handy in this life. It was a trump card left by her grandmother-a research institute. She needed aputer to contact them. Thinking it over, she realized that Henry¡¯s study was the only ce in the house with aputer. The otherputers were smashed in her fits of anger. Evelyn finished thest bite of her bread and went to Henry¡¯s study to send an email to the research institute. *** David drove the car into The Wilson Group¡¯s underground garage ¡°Boss, Madam¡¯s reaction just now was a bit strange. It seems like she doesn¡¯t really want William to get that piece ofnd.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the car instantly dropped to freezing. Henry¡¯s expression darkened. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. A woman who could give up her life for that man, would she not want him to get thend? What was the affectionate disy she showed him yesterday for if not for this? David wanted to exin for Evelyn once more but was interrupted when his phone suddenly rang. Answering the call, David¡¯s expression turned extremely unpleasant, and he looked apprehensively at Henry. ¡°Boss, The butler said Madam entered the study.¡± The contract for the sale of that piece ofnd was still in there. From the moment he uttered those words, the atmosphere inside the car seemed to freeze. He must have been out of his mind to speak up for Evelyn just now. Henry¡¯s face remained expressionless¡­ Then his phone has received a message. Seeing Evelyn¡¯s name on the screen. David tensed, he had already braced himself for Henry¡¯s wrath, but he suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere within the car. If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, it seemed like his Boss is smiling? David couldn¡¯t help but be curious about what Evelyn said to pacify Boss in just two messages. Truly, only two messages. The first was a photo of thend sale contract. The second was a puckered-lip emoji with the message: ¡°You don¡¯t keep such important things properly. What if someone steals them? How are you going to afford me then? ¡± She even added a drooling ¡®eating¡¯ emoji, looking adorable. Henry stared fixedly at the words, even though he knew it might be one of Evelyn¡¯s tricks. Nevertheless, it warmed his heart. Quickly responding with a message, Henry continued to stare at the screen, his expression akin to a little dog waiting for its owner¡¯s praise. David could hardly bear; it seemed like his boss¡­ was in love again! *** In the study, Evelyn, who had been sitting anxiously, received a message on her phone. Henry said, ¡°I can afford you¡± These few words in Evelyn¡¯s eyes shone brighter than any diamond. Feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, she took the opportunity to ask, ¡°It¡¯s too boring at home. Can I read books and use theputer in the study?¡± Unsurprisingly, Henry agreed, even though the study still contained confidential documents that could topple The Wilson Group. They exchanged a few more words, and Evelyn sent a blowing-kiss emoji before stating that she was going to read. Henry leisurely put away his phone. The meeting was already fifteen minuteste, but David didn¡¯t dare to rush him. Evelyn grabbed two books she found interesting and headed back to her bedroom. Before she could even open them, her phone rang. The screen disyed ¡®Dad,¡¯ making Evelyn¡¯s heart turn cold. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Beating Her to Death Pressing the answer button, James Taylor, her father, spoke in an annoyed tone. ¡°Evelyn, what did your sister do that you treat her like this?. You shouldn¡¯t have been so ruthless. Get to the hospital right now, or I¡¯ll make you regret it.¡± Truly grating! Evelyn sneered and hung up. Regardless of what mistakes she and Mia made, she always gets med, and Mia¡¯s actions are always deemed right. In her previous life, she never understood why, even though she and Mia were born to different women, they both were still his daughters. Yet, the difference in treatment was vast. Mia finally revealed the truth just before her death. This man only married Evelyn¡¯s mother for her grandmother¡¯s wealth, and when her grandmother left most of it to Evelyn, he became even more disdainful of her. Evelyn decided to make a trip to the hospital. After all, the battle between her and Mia had just begun. She dawdled until the sun was almost setting, then finally arrived at the hospital. ¡°Mia, you need to eat more for your wounds to heal. When Evelyn arrives, Daddy will-¡± ¡°You will what? I¡¯m already here.¡± Evelyn leaned against the door of the ward, casting a disdainful nce at both of them. ¡°Evelyn? Watch your attitude.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t youe over and apologize to your sister? Do you know that she ys the piano with those hands? Do you know she can¡¯t have any scars on her body? You¡­ you¡¯re so vicious, causing harm even to your own sister.¡± James¡¯s face flushed Evelyn couldn¡¯t help butugh. Mia ying the piano? She was always just putting on a show, while Evelyn acted as her stand-in, Evelyn is the one who truly knows how to y the piano. ¡°Apologize to her? Impossible. I came here today just to see if she¡¯s still alive. If she dies easily today, how will we have fun next time?¡± Evelyn raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixated on Mia like she was staring at a fish ready to be ughtered. James approached Evelyn. ¡°I¡¯ll cripple you now and see if you dare to talk about like this.¡± He raised his hand and delivered a heavy and harsh p to Evelyn¡¯s face. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t hit Evelyn.¡± Mia pretended to shout anxiously.. Evelyn didn¡¯t even flinch. Her sharp eyes stared straight at James. Even James was intimidated by her gaze, involuntarily retracting his palm. Seeing that Evelyn hadn¡¯t suffered, Mia felt a bit disappointed. However, she quickly switched to a mournful expression. ¡°Dad, I believe Evelyn didn¡¯t mean to hurt me. Maybe¡­ maybe she¡¯s just in a bad mood.¡± Her voice grew softer, filled with a mix of grievances and fear. After speaking, she didn¡¯t dare to look at Evelyn. Holding Mia, James couldn¡¯t bear to see her feeling wronged. The anger he had just suppressed surged again. ¡°She¡¯s harmed you like this, and you¡¯re still speaking up for her. Mia, you¡¯re just too kind,¡± James said earnestly. Turning back, James stare at , Evelyn, treating her like an annoying piece of garbage. Although Evelyn knew this would be the oue, she still felt a bit disappointed. Her words came out low and cold. ¡°I¡¯ve only scratched her wrist a bit, and you can¡¯t tolerate it?¡± Thinking about the scar on her back that would never fade away, Evelyn raised her voice, ¡°Do you know that I¡­¡± ¡°Are you bringing up old matters again? Your sister already said she didn¡¯t intentionally burn you. Are you still going to mention it?¡± James interrupted. Mia was trying to help Evelyn light the candles, and then Evelyn¡¯s dress caught fire. They two is about a meter away from. How could the fire magically reached Evelyn?? It¡¯s too obvious. With a cold face, Evelyn said, ¡°I will never forget it in my life.¡± ¡°You!¡± Neither was willing to back down. Mia just watched silently. Her favorite thing since childhood was ying tricks on Evelyn. This time, if Evelyn dared to resist her, she would crush her in one fell swoop. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t me Evelyn; it¡¯s me¡­¡± ¡°Mia, stop talking. I¡¯m gonna beat her to death.¡± James interrupted Mia, about to explode in anger. Just then, his brother, Ethan Taylor, and sister-inw, Shirley Gng, arrived. ¡°James, don¡¯t get angry.¡± Ethan held his older brother. Shirley affectionatelyforted Evelyn in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Evelyn. We are here, your dad won¡¯t dare to do anything to you.¡± Despite their outward support, Evelyn couldn¡¯t feel a trace of warmth. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. In her previous life, these two also stood by her side like today, but all the assets she held slipped away like flowing water into Mia¡¯s hands. Now, thinking about it, it was all deceitful schemes. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Who Dare As expected, the next moment, Ethan spoke, ¡°It¡¯s not right for Evelyn to hurt Mia, but as her father, you shouldn¡¯t beating her to death, don¡¯t you? I propose we split half of the funds in Evelyn¡¯s hands and give them to Mia. Then let¡¯s put an end to this matter.¡± Ethan thought Evelyn was still as easily fooled as before and signaled to Mia. ¡°Yeah,¡± Shirley added, reminding Evelyn, ¡°you can¡¯t act recklessly next time. Fortunately, Mia is your sister. It doesn¡¯t matter who controls the fund.¡± Mia¡¯s eyes brightened, her hands trembling with excitement. Evelyn held a fund worth a hundred million that she and William had been eyeing for a long time. ¡°Dad, forgive Evelyn this time.¡± Mia, with teary eyes, showed an expression that unwillingness to see Evelyn hurt again. James always indulged Mia in every request. ¡°Now, let¡¯s draw up the contract and sign it.¡± ¡°Evelyn, your dad agreed. Thank your dad and your sister. They¡¯ve forgiven you.¡± Shirley squeezed Evelyn¡¯s shoulder, looking joyful. Evelyn was on the verge ofughter. They wanted to greedily take five million and expected her to be grateful? Just when everyone thought Evelyn was about to agree unconditionally, a cold and emotionless voice echoed in the room. ¡°Who said I need their forgiveness?¡± Upon hearing this, James¡¯s face stiffened. ¡°Not needed? If you don¡¯t need it, then don¡¯te back home anymore.¡± Since marrying Henry, what Evelyn , cared most about was Mia, William, and The Taylor family. In the past, if James had said something like this, she would have immediately begged for mercy. But this time¡­ ¡°Sure!¡± Evelyn responded with a light and indifferent tone. James rolled his eyes, pointing at Evelyn without uttering a word. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Shirley was stunned for a moment, then saying with a smile, ¡°Evelyn, don¡¯t make this kind of joke. You¡¯re always our family.¡± Evelyn gently removed Shirley¡¯s hand from her shoulder, stepping back as if avoiding a gue. ¡°Family? I don¡¯t mind changing myst name.¡± James¡¯ brows furrowed tightly. It was the first time Evelyn had directly contradicted him. His chest felt like it harbored a ball of fire, burning away hisst bit of patience. With a loud bang, James closed the door of the room. Staring at Evelyn¡¯s defiant face, he became more infuriated. ¡°Evelyn, this is what you owe Mia. Even if you don¡¯t agree, you should.¡± Evelyn widened her eyes, unable to believe that James could be shameless to this extent, trying to force her to submit. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t make things difficult for Evelyn.¡± Seizing the opportunity, Mia incited, ¡°Evelyn has married Henry. If you hurt her, we won¡¯t be able to exin it to Henry.¡± The fire in Mia¡¯s heart burned just as intensely as James¡¯. Ethan and Shirley nodded in agreement. James sneered in disdain. ¡°Her?¡± He had heard early on that Evelyn had caused trouble in The Wilson family, even angering the old master. ¡°This kind of trash, even if I cripple her today, no one wille looking for trouble¡­¡± As the words fell, a loud bang echoed in the hospital room, then the door copsed, smashing onto James¡¯s toes. ¡°Who the hell¡­¡± he raised his head and immediately fell silent. ¡°Who dares to touch her!!¡± It was Henry. Evelyn hadn¡¯t expected to encounter Henry here, and for a moment, she felt a bit bewildered. Henry¡¯s eyes were like sharp knives, piercing through James with an intimidating chill. Henry turned around, and despite Evelyn wearing a padded jacket, she appeared exceptionally delicate standing there. Unfortunately, no one in the room cared for her. Thinking about the way these people treated her earlier, a pang of hurt crossed Henry¡¯s heart. Evelyn, unsure whether his fury was directed at James or at her, awkwardly exined, ¡°I¡­ I ¡­¡± This single sentence also provided an opportunity for Mia, who is lying on the hospital bed. She remembered that every time Evelyn provoked Henry, Evelyn would be confined in the house for several days. This time couldn¡¯t be any different. ¡°Henry,¡± Mia softly spoke, ¡°Don¡¯t me Evelyn. me me. It¡¯s me¡­¡± ¡®This scheming woman!¡¯ Evelyn red at her, Mia pretending to exin while actually telling Henry that Evelyn hade out against advice. James, still smarting from having his foot hit, didn¡¯t miss the chance to further manipte the situation. ¡°Henry, I know my daughter is unruly, but rest assured, I will discipline her properly. If you don¡¯t mind, let me take her home first. Give me three months, after that, I¡¯ll return you a well-behaved Evelyn¡­¡± If he took her home, not to mention the fifty million funds, even the remaining fifty million would surely end up in Mia¡¯s pocket. Though Evelyn understood the sinister intentions, she couldn¡¯t afford to refute him now; she was solely concerned about Henry¡¯s opinion. Henry got annoyed, ¡°Shut up, all of you. Who do you think you are? She is mine, what qualification do you have to take her away?¡± Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The Scumbag Arrives James thought he misheard until he met the man¡¯s chilling gaze. Only then did he regain his senses. How could he forget the man before him was the feared kingpin of the business world, capable of crushing him with just a flick of his finger? Although reluctant, James pursed his lips and dared not speak again. Henry seemed not ready to let it go so easily. ¡°Mr. Taylor, do you remember what you said when I got married? Have you forgotten? Need me to remind you?¡± James asked for an additional two million, then he promised that his daughter would have nothing to do with him anymore. ¡°People who don¡¯t keep their promises must pay the price.¡± Henry¡¯s voice pressed down on James, leaving him breathless. He narrowed his eyes, and slowly approached Evelyn. With one hand, he encircled her slender waist, softly asking, ¡°Are you cold?¡± ¡°Not cold.¡± Henry gave them a cold nce, pulled the girl¡¯s hand, and headed towards the exit. When they reached the door, he paused. He made a call, said, ¡°Cancel all cooperation between The Wilson Group and The Taylor family. All of it!¡± ¡°Henry, you can¡¯t¡­¡± James chased after them, but they were already far away. ¡®It¡¯s over, everything is over this time.¡¯ The Taylor family relied on The Wilson Group¡¯s support for the past few months. If Henry stopped cooperation, The Taylor family wouldn¡¯t survive even a month. Ethan and Shirley also realized that the situation had escted. Mia gritted her teeth, her mind filled with memories of Henry¡¯s tenderness towards Evelyn just now. She didn¡¯t like Henry, but she couldn¡¯t stand seeing another man caring for the b*itch, especially a man at the top of power and wealth. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®That damn slut, she didn¡¯t deserve it!¡¯ *** From the moment Henry led Evelyn into the elevator, her eyes remained fixated on their intertwined fingers. His hands were long and fair, not at all like a man¡¯s hands, yet holding them let her feel surprisingly secure. As if Evelyn¡¯s gaze was too intense, Henry turned to look at her. His eyes, still icy. ¡°Henry¡­¡± Evelyn tiptoed and whispered in his ear, ¡°Has anyone told you that you look handsome when you seriously look at me?¡± A faint breeze brushed past his ear, and Henry was momentarily stunned, without a reply. At this moment, his eyes, heart, and mind were all filled with the girl¡¯s eyes, beautifully colorful. He remembered the girl¡¯s appearance in bed-her smooth and delicate skin, the tears in the corners of her eyes during the cl*im*ax. He couldn¡¯t help but lick his lips involuntarily. Seeing that he hadn¡¯t spoken but showed no signs of anger, Evelyn finally felt relieved. ¡°You don¡¯t know how you looked when you rushed in to save me just now, like a heavenly god descending. But¡­¡± The man finally spoke. ¡°But what?¡± ¡°The door broke, or I would have moved it back home, as a memento.¡± Henry furrowed his brow. ¡°A memento?¡± ¡°Of course, a memento of your gant rescue.¡± Evelyn rxed, her hand unintentionally sliding onto the man¡¯s arm as she clung to him, bing unusually intimate. Henry¡¯s spine subtly stiffened. He was afraid he couldn¡¯t control himself and stripped her in the elevator. These past few days, he had sensed the changes in the girl but found it somewhat unreal, like finally getting a cake you¡¯ve longed for only to feel the cream on top is unrealistically sweet. As they walked into the underground parking lot, the atmospheric pressure around them instantly dropped. ¡®What¡¯s going on? Everything was fine just now.¡¯ Evelyn raised her eyes and almost cursed. Damn it! William, the scumbag, had arrived, choosing to park his car ten meters away. This was a trick they used in their previous dates, and Henry was undoubtedly aware of it. Watching Henry¡¯s lips turn into a scornful, mocking smile, Evelyn felt like dying. She had just felt Henry¡¯s expression soften. If she had known she would be so unlucky to run into this scumbag, she wouldn¡¯t havee to the hospital. William in the car also noticed the two of them. He didn¡¯te by chance. He received a text from Mia, specificallying here to confront Evelyn. Evelyn suddenly stopped answering the phone. How could he be at ease, especially right before the auction of The Wilson Group¡¯snd? He got out of the car, smiling as he called, ¡°Evelyn.¡± In the past, William wouldn¡¯t dare to be so presumptuous in front of Henry, but with Evelyn around, even if he did something excessive, Henry wouldn¡¯t dare touch him. Before she could react, Evelyn felt her wrist was caught, steadily tightening. Her hand felt as if they were being crushed. With tears in her eyes, the poor girl looked at Henry, saying, ¡°It hurts.¡± Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Chapter 11 A p in the Face Henry¡¯s hand loosened for a moment when he saw a faint hint of pain on Evelyn¡¯s face. Quickly, Evelyn withdrew her hand and shook it. Her hand did hurt. She wondered why this man have such strength. Looking at his now-empty hand, Henry suddenly felt a sense of loss. Was she so eager to distance herself from him in front of that man? What was she going to do next? Hurry to another man? He couldn¡¯t restrain himself. ¡°Evelyn.¡± Henry was genuinely irritated, his deep voice. In her previous life, seeing him like this, Evelyn would have been scared to death, but now, she felt a warm sensation in her heart. ¡°Alright.¡± In a soft voice, tinged with a hint of appeasement, Evelyn took a small step forward and held Henry¡¯s hand again, fingers inteced. ¡°I won¡¯t casually let go of you next time. It¡¯s your fault for using so much force just now; it hurts.¡± In an instant, Henry¡¯s mind went nk. Everything was different from what he had expected. He even nned that if Evelyn caused a scene or threw a tantrum, he would just take her away. William, witnessing this, couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brow. Especially seeing Henry subside from his hostility to calmness because of a small action from Evelyn, he felt extremely ufortable. Evelyn was actually very beautiful. If it weren¡¯t for on that banquet, where he was enchanted by the piano piece Mia yed, he might have been attracted to this woman. ¡°Evelyn, I have something to tell you,¡± William couldn¡¯t help but speak up. He could put on the most elegant appearance in the world. In the past, Evelyn was deceived by his gaze filled with tenderness. But now, just seeing him made her nauseous. The girl didn¡¯te over, and William felt a bit anxious. Immediately, he put on a stern face. ¡°If you don¡¯te over, you won¡¯t see me for the rest of this month.¡± In the past, as long as he frowned, Evelyn would obediently agree to all his requests. Now that he intentionally put on a stern face, Evelyn must be panicking. Seeing her indeed walking towards him, William was extremely satisfied. He even gave Henry a provocative look. Evelyn stopped in front of him, looking at him disdainfully. ¡°If I could be happy without seeing you for the rest of my life, that would be great. You, this disgusting trash with an unpleasant voice, who would want to see you?¡± She already had a handsome husband by her side. Why would she care about him? ¡°Scumbag, stop deluding yourself.¡± Unable toprehend what had just urred, William tentatively reached out to touch her hand. However, Evelyn swiftly pped his hand away, delivering a resounding p across his face. Without hesitation, she forcefully pulled Henry into the waiting car parked nearby. David had been stunned by this scene. He thought it was another bloody showdown between Evelyn and his boss, but unexpectedly, a massive plot twist urred. This madam¡­ did she really changed? Lost in his thoughts, he didn¡¯t even hear Evelyn urging him to drive. Evelyn gave him a big eye roll. ¡°David, drive! Are you deaf?¡± Feeling aggrieved, David weakly sought approval from Henry. ¡°Boss?¡± ¡°Drive.¡± Not even a nce was given to David. Henry focused on Evelyn, captivated by the vivid emotions on her face. Once, he had given up hope, even thinking that as long as Evelyn stayed by his side, he could turn a Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. blind eye to anything. But now, it seemed like something had changed. Henry closed his eyes slightly, a beautiful curve appearing at the corner of his lips. His long fingers gently touched Evelyn¡¯s head, caressing it with increasing tenderness, as if handling a rare treasure. If everything happened in these two days was a performance, he hoped this y would go on forever. ¡®Evelyn, this time, I really can¡¯t let go.¡¯ Evelyn didn¡¯t notice Henry¡¯s change; her eyes were fixed on the window. She only breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the hospital. ¡°Phew, luckily we escaped.¡± ¡°Escape?¡± Henry whispered. Evelyn nced at him, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see he was half a head taller than me? If I didn¡¯t run away, what if he got angry and beat me up?¡± That would hurt a lot. Henry was surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected this reason. Seeing that Evelyn wasn¡¯t faking, he pulled her into his arms. ¡°He wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± Though Evelyn wasn¡¯t short, she waspletely enveloped in Henry¡¯s embrace, feeling a genuine sense of security. Her eyes turn red, and tears swirled in her eyes. In her past life, no matter how she acted, he was always there to shield her from the wind and rain. Standing at the pinnacle of the top-tier society, Henry, the authoritative figure overseeing everything in The Wilson Family, who can devoured everything in the business world, always by her side. Reaching out to embrace him, Evelyn murmured with a touch of loss, ¡°I¡¯m truly foolish.¡± As her words fell, the air in the car stagnated for a moment, then softenedpletely. ¡°Not foolish.¡± The man¡¯s low, gentle voice naturally brushed past her ears. Evelyn felt as if she were a little drunk despite not having consumed any alcohol. ¡°Mm, not foolish.¡± She wouldn¡¯t be foolish anymore in the future. As the atmosphere between them intensified, a cellphone suddenly rang. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The Madam is done David quickly answered it, parking the car in a safe area ¡°Boss, Master Lucas has caused trouble again.¡± Henry¡¯s eyes dimmed. Evelyn could clearly sense his anger. Lucas Wilson was the illegitimate child of his sister, conceived before her marriage. Although he was a troublemaker, the old master and Henry cared him deeply. ¡°If you have something to do, go ahead. I can take a cab back home.¡± Evelyn stepped out of his embrace and got out of the car. Henry didn¡¯t refuse, closed the door, and let David arrange for a driver from their household to pick up Evelyn. Watching the car gradually move away, Evelyn turned back and nced at the not-so-distant hospital. She still felt a bit unwilling to leave like this. She had suffered for a lifetime, and all she had done to William was to p him. It felt like she let them off too easily¡­ *** Inside the car. A ringing phone broke the silence. David answered it, trembling uncontrobly. ¡°Boss.¡± David swallowed nervously, hesitating to speak. ¡°When the driver arrived, the Madam was already gone, seems like¡­ she went back to the hospital.¡± Henry¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Bring her back.¡± Those were undoubtedly the three most terrifying words David had ever heard. All he could think was, ¡°It¡¯s over. The Madam is done for this time!¡± **** There was a bridge on the east side of the hospital, the route William had to take to leave. Every time he turned towards that bridge, William would perform a cool drift, executing a perfect spin. Evelyn, well aware of his habits, directly bought several medium-sized nails, timed it perfectly, and scattered them on the road, causing the nails to smoothly puncture William¡¯s tires. It took a lot of time to avoid the security cameras, and by the time Evelyn got back to the vi, it was dark. Sitting on the sofa, she felt somewhat uneasy. Today¡¯s events had clearly passed a crisis, but she couldn¡¯t shake the feeling that she had missed something. *** At this moment, in a dimly lit bar, a group of thugs knelt on the floor. A boy with a look resembling Henry¡¯s was crouched at the forefront, ncing asionally at Henry. In the past, when he made mistakes, his uncle would scold him a bit, but this time, although he might have gone too far, he had been punished for half an hour. It should be enough by now. ¡°Uncle!¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Henry shot a nce at him. The thugs behind trembled. Lucas was also taken aback, sensing that something was off with his uncle today. He sought help, looking at David. David shrugged helplessly. He was a victim too, all because of Evelyn.. The phone rang, and David seemed to grasp a lifeline. ¡°Boss, the butler said Madam should be back.¡± He lowered his voice. Henry nced at him, pinching the cigarette, then he stood up and walked out¡­ Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Uncle.¡± Lucas stood up, trying to please. ¡°Can I go now?¡± Henry paid no attention to him, only stopping at the door before adding, ¡°Make him clean the old mansion three times, overnight.¡± This instruction was clearly for David. Lucas wailed. ¡°David, what¡¯s wrong with my uncle? Does he know how big the old mansion is?¡± Thergest estate in the whole of Memphis was The Wilson Family¡¯s mansion. If they included the indoor area¡­ Lucas was at a loss. David was even more troubled. Since Boss had given the order, it meant he had to supervise Lucas. Who knows how many nights it would take. *** Evelyn knew that today¡¯s events must have made Henry ufortable. She dared not sleep andy on the sofa, waiting. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Just as she was falling into a daze, Henry returned. ¡°Henry.¡± She automatically ignored the anger in his eyes. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± She rubbed her stomach. ¡°I¡¯m still waiting for you to have dinner together.. My stomach has been growling.¡± ¡°What do you want to eat? I think I can only cook noodles.¡± In her previous life, Evelyn learned some excellent cooking skills to please William. Now, suddenly showcasing those skills might raise Henry¡¯s suspicions, so she had to pretend. Thinking about a simple and delicious noodle recipe, Evelyn didn¡¯t notice the man¡¯s fiery gaze fixed on her. One room, two people, three meals, four seasons; someone stands by you at dusk. This was the image that appeared in his mind when he first saw her at the hospital, and now it was suddenlying true. How could he not be fascinated? Unfortunately, all this beauty was buried under deception. She still couldn¡¯t forget that man, even though she could now act freely in front of him. ¡°Evelyn.¡± Henry, without hesitation, crossed Evelyn and pinned her against the kitchen¡¯s side door. Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Be Injured ¡°Evelyn¡­ How long do you n to continue acting with me? Or is there another goal you haven¡¯t achieved? Is that piece ofnd not enough? The document that determines the life or death of The Wilson Group is in the safe, and the password¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to listen.!¡± Evelyn urgently covered her ears. The man¡¯s voice was hoarse, seemingly carrying a severe injury. Sharp questions pierced Evelyn like a sword. She knew he must have misunderstood her return to the hospital. ¡°I won¡¯t listen. I won¡¯t listen.¡± Evelyn shook her head frantically. ¡°Henry, please, don¡¯t say it. I don¡¯t want to know. I don¡¯t want to hurt you. The events of this afternoon were a misunderstanding. I can exin, really, I can exin everything.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± A cold, scornfulugh sprayed down, making Evelyn tremble like a sieve. ¡°Believe me, Henry, believe me.¡± Evelyn, with red eyes, murmured with a faint voice. The only response in the living room was dead silence. After a while, Henry spoke as if pronouncing a new crime for her. ¡°Evelyn, stay here. I¡¯ll believe you if you stay here.¡± Stay here?! She instantly thought of the months he had kept her locked up in the vi in her previous life. No anyone else, noputer, no phone, not even allowed to step out of the room. He said he would no longer give her freedom. He said, ¡°Evelyn, even if it¡¯s hell, I¡¯ll take you with me.¡± That was the first and only time Henry showed no tolerance, no indulgence, and nopliance towards her. She didn¡¯t want to live like that again. In this new life, she just wanted to stand by his side. Henry understood her panic and resistance. He couldn¡¯t help but soften a bit. Just as he was about to approach, Evelyn rushed into the kitchen. ¡°Please, don¡¯t lock me up.¡± Evelyn¡¯s terrified expression stunned him, and she inadvertently retreated to the stove.

The kettle on the stove with the water still boiling. asionally, a few drops fell on Evelyn¡¯s wrist, but she seemed not to feel it. ¡°Evelyn!¡± Evelyn, frightened, moved backward, the kettle falling. In an instant, Henry enveloped Evelyn in his arms. Her arm felt as if it had been scalded. Henry must be in even more pain. ¡°Henry, how are you? Where did you get burned?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Evelyn didn¡¯t believe him. She struggled with all her might in Henry¡¯s arms. ¡°Evelyn, I¡¯m fine, really.¡± Henry frowned in pain, still patientlyforting her. ¡°Be good. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± After taking her to rinse in cold water, Henry made a call to David to arrange for a doctor. Just as David answered, his urgent voice came through. ¡°Boss, I was just about to contact you. The hospital sent a message. William had a car ident because of a t tire, and it seems¡­ It seems Madam intentionally punctured the tires when she returned to the hospital in the afternoon. We might have misunderstood Madam.¡± Henry¡¯s body stiffened, and he could no longer hear what was being said on the other end of the line. His mind was filled with images of the injury on Evelyn¡¯s arm and her panicked expression. Damn it! What had he done just now! ¡°Ten minutes, arrange the best specialist for burns,¡± he ordered urgently. Burn!!! The boss wouldn¡¯t have done something unforgivable to Evelyn? As David listened to the cold, busy signal on the phone, feeling resigned, and called the hospital director. *** In the hospital. After the burn was treated with cold water, the pain had eased a bit. Evelyn nced at the slightly swollen area on her arm, then looked at the group of people, including experts, doctors, and nurses. They were discussing her condition. Henry,pletely focused on Evelyn, asked the doctor anxiously, ¡°How is the wound? Will it scar? Will there be an infection?¡± The hospital director, trying to ease the tension, reassured him, ¡°Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson¡¯s arm swelling will subside in a day or two, and those blisters¡­¡± The director hesitated for a moment, and the experts and doctors quickly continued, ¡°I think we can directly puncture them, squeeze out the fluid inside; it will heal faster.¡± ¡°Puncturing is prone to scarring. It¡¯s better to use a needle to draw out the fluid and then apply medicine.¡± ¡°Or¡­¡± The group of people argued back and forth. Evelyn, feeling overwhelmed, was about to reject their suggestions when suddenly her eyelids became heavier,. Henry moved forward, gently supporting her. ¡°Are you sure this medicine won¡¯t harm her body?¡± He questioned the director, his eyes piercing. The hospital director assured him, ¡°This medicine is thetest stabilizer developed in M State. It has no harm to the body. She¡¯s just sleeping deeply. Even when we puncture these blisters, she won¡¯t feel any pain.¡± ¡°Proceed.¡± He stood by Evelyn¡¯s side throughout the procedure. After midnight, he received a text message on his phone. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Chapter 14 The Great Gift of Preparation Reading the content, Henry¡¯s brows furrowed. After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and left the hospital without a word. Evelyn felt extremely tired. Her eyelids seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds of iron. She should surrender to this feeling and fall asleep, but a voice in her heart kept shouting, ¡®Wake up quickly.¡¯ Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and her first instinct was to grab the phone on the bedside table. November 24th! It was Henry¡¯s birthday. A scheduled text message on her phone had been automatically sent to Henry twenty minutes ago. ¡°Happy birthday, Erting Club, Room 304, I has prepared a gift for you. Go get it.¡± After reading this message, Evelyn¡¯s face turned pale. She felt her blood freeze, and a chill ran down her spine. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. In her previous life, it was this event that led to Henry locking her up in the vi for several months. What mood had he gone to Erting Club with that night, and what disappointment had he experienced? Evelyn was unsure whether Henry had slept with that woman. but she knew that after that night, the woman was kept in another vi by Henry. He never visited again, nor did he drive her away. *** The snow began to fall outside. At Erting Club, Room 304 was quiet. Memphis¡¯ fourmercial giants, Matthew Garcia, Noah Anderson, Alexander Smith, and stern-faced Henry, gathered on the sofa. ¡°Haha, the famous Mr. Wilson called us here overnight just to enjoy the surprise gift your little wife prepared for you? How delightful,¡± Alexanderughed carelessly. Noah shook his head and smiled, seemingly unsurprised. ¡°Henry, Happy birthday.¡± Matthew said seriously, raising his ss. Henry¡¯s expression darkened even more. The woman sitting in front of him, holding a ss of wine, was trembling, but meeting Henry¡¯s gaze, she boldly exposed her leg, intentionally highlighting her chest. ¡°Mr. Wilson, it really¡­ really has nothing to do with me. Your wife gave me money to take good care of you.¡± Henry stared at the ss of wine, finished it in one go, and said to Alexander and the others, ¡°Get out.¡± The woman in front of him immediately bloomed with joy and sat next to him. ¡°Mr. Wilson, I¡¯ll take good care of you.¡± The three were inexplicably driven out. Alexander was the first to explode. ¡°Is Henry all right? Evelyn treated him so badly, and he still obey her? Isn¡¯t he a masochist?¡± Noah couldn¡¯t agree with this. Matthew is thinking uniquely, ¡°I¡¯m wondering how strong that wine is?¡± ¡°Curious?¡± Alexander smirked, standing up. ¡°Let¡¯s see.¡± Suddenly, Alexander was pulled away by someone. Covered in snow, Evelyn stood at the door urgently, her voice full of anxiety. ¡°Is Henry inside?¡± She was dressed in a thin patient gown, one slipper missing, revealing toes that had turned red from the cold, making her look extremely disheveled. Alexander and the others knew her, but they all disliked her. So, they gave her a nce but said nothing in unison. ¡°I¡¯m asking you, Henry is inside, right?¡± She became increasingly agitated, rushing up to the door, but was stopped by Alexander. Alexander sneered, ¡°Tonight¡¯s event was arranged by you. If you go in now, won¡¯t you ruin everything?¡± ¡°Alexander! You better let me through,¡± Evelyn threatened, recalling the events from her previous life, ¡°If you don¡¯t want the journalists to ask about your secrets at City Hotel¡­¡± Confronted with her determined and dangerous gaze, Alexander, hurriedly interrupted her. ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll let you through!¡± He covered up that matter very well, how could she girl know? Evelyn had no time to deal with him and rushed to the door, knocking and smashing. ¡°Open the door, Henry, open the door, quickly!¡± She knocked more and more urgently. Evelyn pushed the door with all her strength, and the door slowly creaked open.

Before Henry could react, she cried and plunged into the man¡¯s arms. ¡°Fortunately, I arrived in time. You scared me.¡± ¡°I was foolish, I was stupid. I misjudged people in the past, and now I regret it. Can you forgive me?¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t dislike me, Henry. I beg you to like me, please continue liking me.¡± Evelyn¡¯s voice choked, words incoherent, fearing that Henry might really give up on her. Evelyn¡¯s tears were truly lethal; she softened Henry, melted him with her tears. He reached out to embrace Evelyn and only then realized she was dressed too lightly, as cold as deep winter¡¯s ice, stiff and freezing. ¡°You¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, the elevator slowly ascended, carrying chaotic sounds from inside. ¡°Reporters?¡± Danger shed in Henry¡¯s eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t know. It wasn¡¯t me.¡± Mia had suggested to Evelyn to find reporters to provoke Henry, but Evelyn had rejected the idea. Unexpectedly, Mia had done it behind her back, which exined why Henry had been angry and kept her confined for several months in her previous life.

The woman she had prepared earlier was unconscious, lying on the bed in thin clothes. The private room at the club wasrge, but the decorations were too simple to conceal anyone. After searching for a while, Evelyn reluctantly managed to bring Henry into the closet. Shortly afterward, a chaotic knocking sound came from outside. The two looked at each other, silent. Henry lowered his head and saw Evelyn with one foot wearing a hospital slipper and the other bare, the sole covered in tiny wounds, a mixture of blood and mud, dirty and miserable. He furrowed his brow, visibly displeased. Sensing his change, Evelyn pleaded softly, ¡°Please, I¡¯m cold.¡± The girl¡¯s eyes were watery, making her look like a pitiful abandoned puppy. Henry remained expressionless and said nothing. Evelyn persisted. Sniffling, she feigned pitifully, ¡°It hurts.¡± One second, two seconds, three seconds passed before the man finally made a move. He took off his suit and put it on Evelyn. Then he grabbed her foot, avoiding the wounds, and tucked it into his arms. The mud on the sole dirty his shirt.
