Chapter 131 They Thought He Came to Beg

Evan had crossed them too many times and even tried to divorce Hazel. In their eyes, the least he deserved was punishment. More importantly, they wanted to see real remorse.Only then would they consider sparing his life.What they didn't realize was that everything was a coincidence.Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya had it completely wrong. They waited a bit longer, but still couldn't figure out how to stop him.Evan was growing impatient. That was because he wouldn't be able to focus on his training until he settled things with them."Look, Evan must be freaking out by now.""Yeah. He's bracing for the worst and is probably done waffling around by now.""Why is he even hesitating? Pride is worthless when one's life is on the line."Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya watched him, their eyes shining with excitement mixed with slight confusion.They had expected him to walk over and apologize by now. They didn't expect him to just stand there, utterly lost in thought."Cain is coming for him."

Chapter 132 He Told Them to Get Lost

Boom!His words hit like a thunderclap, ringing in everyone's ears.Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya stared at Evan in shock. 'Did he just tell us to get lost? Was that his idea of an apology? Doesn't he want our protection anymore? Is he seriously not afraid of dying?'"Evan, what did you just say? Have you lost your mind?"The three women burned with anger upon hearing his words.'Fine. Him refusing to apologize is one thing, but how dare he tell us to leave! Right now, we are the only ones who can ensure his safety. Unbelievable.'In that moment, Hazel and the others felt Evan was a stranger—nothing like the man they once knew."Are you all deaf?" Evan's voice rose, sharp with impatience. "I said, get lost. Stop bothering me."Irritation showed plainly on his face. In his eyes, they were like pests who refused to stay dead. They had nothing to do with him anymore, yet they still hovered around him like flies.He still needed to intercept Sylvie. So, he had no time to waste on them

Chapter 133 The Woman by the Pool

There was no denying the warning lacing Roxanne's words. This was her final reminder.Evan responded, "Who's pretending? I don't need your chances. Just leave. You're an eyesore.""Fine, we're leaving. Don't regret this because you won't get another chance like it again."Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya stormed off in fury. They were beyond pissed.From their perspective, Evan just needed to drop to his knees, acknowledge his error, and say sorry. They would forgive him then.Instead, he chose to keep up the cold, stubborn front.None of them believed he was actually doing well. The more afraid someone was, the tougher they talked.It all boiled down to pride.People never liked showing their vulnerable sides.They were sure that Evan would regret his actions today. After all, he had just sacrificed a perfect opportunity to save his life merely to protect his ego.This was Cain he was dealing with.All it took was for Cain to say the word, and Evan was a goner. Once he made up his

Chapter 134 When Two Women Are Destined to Meet

Just having her around the house was enough to lift anyone's mood.'Splish!'Another burst of water rose as Estelle emerged from the pool, her long hair loose and her body dripping wet.Droplets glided down her hair, arms, and cheeks. Each droplet highlighted her flawless figure. The fresh, clean air around her now held a subtle touch of post-swim charm.Estelle offered her a warm smile when she noticed that Artemisia had become dumbstruck by her beauty. Artemisia's eyes widened as her cheeks warmed slightly. Estelle's striking beauty truly disarmed everyone, men and women alike."Artemisia, are you close with Sylvie?" Estelle asked lightly.She picked up a towel, casually drying her hair while walking over to sit beside her, smiling sweetly.If Evan had been there, he would have immediately noticed that this mischievous little one was up to something."She should be back soon... but, uh, Ms. Laurent, why are you asking? Aren't you worried about running into Ms. Stanton?" A

Chapter 135 Caught by the Scent

"I'll check on her when I have the time," Evan stated with a soft sigh."Really?" Sylvie's face lit up with delight. She grabbed his arm, beaming. "Evan, you're the best! I knew you wouldn't just stand by!"She went on, "Aria used to take great care of me. If she becomes disfigured, I'd feel even worse than she would."Relief and excitement brightened her expression. She thought that the issue would be resolved now that Evan had decided to meddle. She slipped her arm through his. "Evan, let's go home."The moment she said it, Evan's expression changed. He had almost forgotten the real issue."Wait, Sylvie," he blurted out. "Let's not go home today. I'll take you somewhere else for a few days."His plan was simple: Estelle wouldn't stay long. She'd just be there for three or four days at most. If he took Sylvie on a brief trip, Estelle would be gone by the time they returned.The problem would be resolved then, and everyone would be happy."Huh? Stay somewhere else?" Sylvie star

Chapter 136 The Collision She Feared

Evan sensed the impending explosion and hurried after Sylvie.What he didn't know was that Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya had already started to turn back.Something crossed Anya's mind. She glanced at Hazel and asked, "What do you think Evan's reaction is now that we just left?"The question made Hazel and Roxanne pause."What reaction could he have?" Hazel replied with certainty. "He's definitely sulking. He'll regret it once he cools off."Roxanne nodded. "He came to ask for our help. Not only did he fail, but he also made the situation worse. Of course, he's upset. Perhaps he might still be standing right there."That possibility made all three of them smile."Let's go back and take a look.""Maybe we'll even catch him throwing a fit."They were completely convinced Evan would eventually lower his head.No one gambled with their own life.Right now, Evan was nothing more than a clown to them. The colder and more aloof he acted, the more entertaining it was for them.His arrog

Chapter 137 A Rival Worth Fearing

Why did it have to be her?Sylvie was confident that she could outshine them and calmly asserted, in the tone of a lady of the house, that Evan was hers if it were anyone else.However, Estelle was different.Their appearances and figures were quite evenly matched, but Estelle had a slight edge when it came to sheer presence. She was still a student and a well-known campus belle.Worse still, judging by her daring and subtly flirtatious outfit… she was exactly the type Evan might find attractive.The fact that she was already staying here only made Sylvie's chest tighten.The more she thought about it, the darker her expression grew.The two women locked eyes.Not a word was spoken, but the atmosphere inside the villa changed the moment their gazes met.Things had gone tense and charged. It seemed as if sparks were about to fly.They both instinctively straightened, each unwilling to give an inch."Uh..." Artemisia rushed over, drawn by the noise. However, she froze upon see

Chapter 138 A Rival Under the Same Roof

Sylvie's silence only made Estelle more pleased."And who said I'm freeloading?" Estelle added sweetly. "I'm here to learn from Evan. My dad says I'm still young and should get more life experience from him."She turned to Evan with a bright smile. "Right, Evan?"Then, she looped her arms around his before he could react. Sylvie stared. This girl was far craftier than she looked.Evan had no way to deny it. Still, he kept his expression neutral as he calmly slipped his arm free. After all, the mayor really had said something along those lines."But Sylvie, you don't have to worry," Estelle went on, putting on an obedient look. "I understand first-come, first-served. I don't mind taking second place."Sylvie's brows drew tight.Her possessiveness ran deep. She wouldn't share Evan, not even with her own aunt.There was no way she would tolerate another woman living under the same roof.In her eyes, Evan was hers.No one else was taking him from her.Sylvie snapped sharply,

Chapter 139 The Ladies Fight

Yet another disadvantage. This was unbelievable.Estelle placed a piece of meat on Evan's plate with a grin. "Have a bite of the grilled meat I've made, Evan. It's great. Bet you didn't think I could cook, huh? You're in for a treat!"He smiled back at her and was about to say something, but another lady put more food on his plate. "Meat? That's greasy. You should have more greens, Evan.""No, meat!""No, greens!"Sylvie and Estelle were glaring at each other. Moments later, Evan's plate was filled with food, thanks to them.Artemisia couldn't believe what she was seeing. 'Whoa, this is insane,' she thought. 'It's just a simple meal. Oh, so that's why Dr. Norwood wanted me to stay.' She gave Evan an understanding look. If she had to face something like this alone, she'd get driven mad.…Dinner came to an end, and Evan asked Artemisia to stay. Artemisia said yes, and Estelle followed when she went to her room."Did you pick up any moves that can quickly put someone to sleep

Chapter 140 Inside Evan's Room

Evan would meditate upon the Ninefold Arcane Arts during his rest. The Ninefold Arcane Arts covered everything and was a deeply complex art to master. He needed time to go through it.Suddenly, something rustled. Someone had snuck into his room. Evan's eyes snapped open. What he saw sobered him up. A woman was lying on his bed, and she was barely wearing anything. The scent she radiated stirred something inside Evan.Estelle had come in, much to Evan's shock. "What are you doing in my room? It's the dead of the night!"Estelle chuckled into his ear. "I did say my room was freezing, and I needed yours to warm me up."Evan was concerned, but he couldn't move, not when Estelle was still on his bed. "Where's Sylvie?" he asked. She and Estelle came holding their blankets. They both wanted to sleep with him, but only one got in."Oh, her? She fell asleep." Estelle added, "Sound asleep." Oh, she was smug about it. After all, she made it happen. She put Sylvie to sleep. Still, it wasn't a
