"So you've been cheating on me with him?!" Evan asked, his tone mixed with hurt and anger as he clenched his fists beside him, his eyes boring into Freda's.
Freda responded with a dismissive eye roll, unfazed by Evan's emotions. Evan catching her with Justin meant absolutely nothing to her. "You really think I would continue to spend my life with someone as miserable as you?!" She asked, her face contorted in irritation as she stared at Evan. "Of what good are you to me?! Huh?! You can't even afford the cheapest of gifts I want. Look at what Justin got me–the Himalayan Diamond Skin Birkin, my dream birkin bag. It's something you would never be able to afford in your entire life" Evan looked down at her hands and saw she was holding what looked like shopping bags. Justin Smith must have taken her on a lavish shopping spree. "Face it Evan, you're a worthless excuse of a man" she spat, her expression stern and demeaning. Justin Smith smiled at the words that came out of Freda's mouth. He was pleased, so he tightened his soft grip around her waist in an attempt to make Evan mad. "You're my wife! Freda…" "That's ex-wife to you. It seems you've forgotten that you just signed the divorce papers" Mrs Brenda Reynolds quickly cut Evan off, her tone cold. "What, Mom?! He signed it?!" Freda was surprised to hear that "This is the best day of my life!" She jumped as her face lit up with elation. "I think you should just scram, loser. You don't deserve someone as beautiful as her anyway. She needs a real man like me in her life, not some poor loser like you" "I have an idea, why don't you go look for someone in your own lane. There's plenty of ratchet girls in the streets for you, you know" Justin chimed in mocking, pride evident in his expression as he continued to hold Freda's waist possessively. Seeing Justin's hands on Freda's waist sparked Evan, he was agitated. "What are you still doing standing there scum? The gate is over there. Come on, run along now" Lincoln taunted, adding fuel to the fire but Evan ignored his remarks. Evan's ignorance annoyed Lincoln so he rushed over to Evan and shoved him forcefully "Are you suddenly deaf now?! I said move it scumbag!" Evan reached his limit, he had been holding in his fury but he couldn't take it any longer so he unleashed a powerful punch at Lincoln's face, sending him crashing to the ground. Freda and Mrs Brenda Reynolds let out a shocked gasp as soon as Evan did that. "Argh, my nose" Lincoln groaned in pain from the floor while clutching his injured nose tightly. Mrs Brenda Reynolds quickly rushed to her son's side, bending down to comfort him as he whimpered in pain. "M-mom! T-that bastard hit me!" Lincoln yelled in pain, like a baby in need of breast milk. "Y..your nose! It's bleeding!" Mrs Brenda Reynolds exclaimed in shock and she immediately stood up and marched over to Evan angrily "How dare you lay your filthy hands on my son!" Evan turned and shot her a deadly look enough to send shivers down her spine and she froze. She had never seen Evan so angry like this before and this made her cower backward in fear. Evan then faced Justin and slowly walked towards him. "What?! You wanna fight loser?!" Justin taunted with boldness. He had taken some classes in taekwondo so he had some skills in combat. The sight of Evan scared Freda so she distanced herself from him and watched from a distance. As Evan drew near, Justin raised his leg in an attempt to land a kick on him but Evan caught it mid-air and Justin got stuck, looking stupid. With a surge of anger, Evan instantly turned Justin's foot with full force and Justin somersaulted, falling hard to the ground as he then let out a painful scream "Ahhhh, you just broke my ankle! You're going to regret this, you chump!" Turns out, Justin wasn't serious with his Taekwondo classes. Evan was a good fighter since he was bullied a lot growing up, and he learned how to defend himself. Freda never knew Evan could ever get this angry and in fear of what he would do to Justin she immediately screamed "Don't you dare touch him!" The gateman and Justin's driver immediately rushed to hold Evan as he was about to pounce on Justin, but Evan effortlessly pushed them to the ground. Evan was just too strong. The noise from the scene drew the attention of some of the men in the Reynolds family, so they came out to see what was going on, only to see Evan punching Justin, who laid helplessly on the floor. They rushed to Evan and managed to restrain him, and when Freda saw Evan was restrained she rushed to Justin whose face was swollen from Evan's punches. "B-baby, are you ok?" She petted in feigned care before turning to Evan in venomous anger "Get away from here, you rascal! Get away and never show your wretched face here ever again! I hate you!" Evan took one last look at all of them before he was finally kicked out. With a heavy heart, he then left for the hospital to see his matron. Upon arriving at the hospital, Evan rushed to the secretary's desk "Hello, excuse me. My name is Evan Stone, the payment for my matron has been made, her name is Mrs Evelyn Anders. Please can I know when the surgery will begin?" The secretary took a good look at Evan who looked unkempt because of his face and worn-out clothes, then she looked at her computer before saying "Sorry, I can't find any payment for Mrs Evelyn Anders on my system. Are you sure you made the payments?!" "Y-yes, yes I'm sure!" Evan answered, his heart jolting through his chest. "I'm sorry, but I can't find any proof of payment in the system. It looks like no transaction has been made" she replied firmly, her expression resolute. "P-please you have to check again! The payment was made before I got here. Please I'm telling the truth" Evan pleaded desperately, his voice quivering with anxiety as he tried to reason with her. It then dawned on Evan that he had been deceived, Mrs Brenda Reynolds didn't transfer the required amount for Mrs Evelyn's treatment as she had promised.

Adeline asked calmly, raising her eyebrows in confusion.The other members of the Davis family exchanged puzzled glances, equally curious about how Valtor Corporation's contract bids were connected to Adeline's relationship with Evan.A small smile formed at the corner of Patriarch Charles's lips as he finally revealed his condition.

CHAPTER 32
Evan had tried several times to reach the unknown number that had sent him the text claiming to know who was responsible for his parents death, but there had been no response. He still hadn’t told Mr. Johnson about the message.During this time, Evan’s connection with Adeline grew stronger, and soon they started dating. Eventually, Adeline invited him to her family home to introduce him to her parents.Evan arrived in a cab, simply dressed in dark-washed jeans, a crisp white button-down shirt, paired with a tailored black blazer, and polished dress shoes."There you are! You look great!" Adeline exclaimed, greeting Evan with a warm hug as soon as he stepped out of the cab."Thanks, I did my best" Evan replied with a smile, though he felt a bit nervous."Come on, let’s go in" Adeline said with an excited tone, taking his hand and leading him toward the house.As they walked towards the front door, she gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry, they'll adore you. Just be yoursel

The muscular leader smirked, taking a step closer to Evan. "I see you want to play hero, huh? Well, let’s see how long that lasts"Evan stood his ground, his pulse steady. "You have no idea who you're dealing with"The leader’s smirk faltered for a moment before he chuckled darkly. "Big words for someone who's outnumbered. But fine, let’s play"Without warning, one of the men charged at Evan with his baton raised, but Evan swiftly grabbed the man's arm and twisted it with a quick, brutal motion that sent the man sprawling to the ground with a pained cry.Adeline gasped, her eyes wide with fear and admiration.The leader’s eyes narrowed. "So, you’ve got some skills in you. But it won’t be enough". With a flick of his wrist, he signaled to the remaining men.The two men rushed forward simultaneously, swinging their batons at the same time. Evan ducked under the swings, then landed a hard blow on the first man's ribs and the man stumbled back, gasping for breath.Evan then took down the
CHAPTER 30
Evan's smile faltered for a moment, and he looked around the room carefully before leaning in closer to Adeline. "Remember, I told you I have my ways, I know a few people here" he said, trying to sound nonchalant."You did say that, but I know there's more to it. So please, tell me" Adeline insisted, sensing that Evan was hiding something.She noticed how much he had changed, not just in his appearance, but in personality. He had become bolder and more confident, traits the old Evan didn't really have. There had to be something he was keeping from her.Even the way the head waiter of the restaurant welcomed him into the platinum room so respectfully gave her a signal.Evan sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, looking slightly uncomfortable. "Fine... I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else"Adeline's curiosity was piqued. "I promise. Now spill it"Evan glanced around the room again, ensuring no one was listening. "I... I have a connection. Someone who owes me

"I'm sorry, but I have to ask you all to leave" the waiter said calmly, gesturing toward the exit.Freda, Mr. Robert, and her family were stunned, and the patrons' eyes widened in shock."What?!" Freda exclaimed, raising her eyebrows in confusion."I don't understand! What do you mean?!" Mrs. Brenda chimed in, her expression filled with panic.They all looked to Mr. Robert, hoping he could stand up for them in that moment."And why are you asking us to leave?" Mr. Robert demanded, as Freda quickly linked her arm with his.The head waiter remained calm as he answered, "I'm afraid it's a security protocol. We've had some concerns about the room's capacity, and we need to rebalance the guest list"Mr. Robert's eyes narrowed. "Security protocol? At 8 PM on a Tuesday? I don't think so. What's really going on here?""Exactly, what's really going on?!" Mrs. Brenda's panic turned to annoyance. Seeing Mr. Robert speak up, gave her a confidence boost."This is ridiculous! We're not going anywhe

"Go on. Say it, tell your new sugar daddy who he is" Evan taunted."He's… irrelevant," Freda blurted out, not wanting to reveal who Justin was to Mr. Robert. "And as for you, you have the nerve to talk, huh?!""It seems to me you've forgotten how miserable you are. I don't know how a pauper like you even managed to get a reservation here. You can't even afford the lowest menu!" she added in disdain, diverting the attention back to Evan."Exactly! I'm so glad my daughter no longer has anything to do with your horrible self" Mrs. Brenda chimed in, her face contorted with scorn."You know what, Mother? I'm sure Adeline was the one who got their reservation here. And I'm sure she'll be the one paying for his meal" Freda mocked.Lincoln instantly laughed out loud. "You're right, Freda. We all know Evan can't even afford a bottle of water. I don't know why Adeline's wasting her time here with him"Hearing all this, a patron whispered, "Wow!
