Everyone in the Norwood family fell silent.Josephine, Alice, and the Norwood family branch members all hung their heads, barely hiding the scowl on their faces.Everyone understood just what they had to do to turn things around—as in, they now had to apologize to Evan.To them, that was a fate worse than death!That was because Evan would always be an illegitimate bastard in their eyes.He was just a powerless mutt!It was humiliating that they were brought so low by a nobody!What about their dignity? Their pride?Many of them felt that they were being humiliated.They felt so humiliated that they knew that this incident would stay with them till they rot in their graves. It'd haunt them till the end of time!Alas, things had gotten so far, and they now had no choice but to do so.The Norwood family's loud and heavy pants echoed through the Eisenberg Castle.Everyone was staring at Evan with bloodshot eyes, their chests heaving with fury and grievance.They were trying

The Norwood family had been playing the Solomons for fools the entire time.They had played Gabriel's father like a fiddle. And now, they had done the same thing to him! There was no way he was going to allow that to stand!Did they really think that Gabriel and Cain had raised all this ruckus just for a drakeblood gemstone?Although it indeed was a very precious stone with unique qualities, the theft of the drakeblood gemstone was not enough to make both father and son go through all that hassle.To put it simply, this was a matter of pride.To people as powerful as Gabriel, their pride and dignity were above all else.In fact, one could even say that their pride meant the world to them!Everyone present started to backtrack. Gabriel's fury was so tangible that it was as if they could literally see his murderous intent dyeing the world red. They were aware that he was going to mete out justice for the Solomons once the truth was revealed.It was likely that the Norwood famil

Cain hadn't come to Silverton. He had no idea Darius was the culprit, not Evan. Gabriel scrutinized Evan from head to toe before looking away. He took a deep breath."The truth might not be the thing you think, Dad. Evan didn't steal the gemstone. It was…" Gabriel proceeded to tell his father the truth, causing Cain to fall into contemplative silence.The tension in the air was turning taut. The heiresses held their breaths, their hearts racing. They thought that Evan would be spared now that Gabriel had come to a decision. Alas, Cain came calling. The same Cain who had assumed that Evan was the one who stole his gemstone for three whole years.They wondered how he'd react to the news of his mistake. A long while later, Cain finally said, "It wasn't him? So… I made a mistake?" There wasn't a trace of anger in his tone. Rather, he sounded light-hearted.The heiresses heaved a long sigh of relief. It seemed that Cain was a reasonable man. If that were the case, the Overlord was pro

"Oh no, he's still in danger." Stefan and Cynthia thought Evan would be fine after clearing his name, but Cain wanted to go after the Norwoods and the people related to them. Although he had chosen not to go after Evan, it also meant that Evan had to stay with the Solbergs forever.Stefan and Cynthia wouldn't have been concerned over such minor details in the past, but things had changed. Evan and the Solbergs were no longer family, which was a problem. After all, Cain would go after Evan once the truth came to light."Fortunately, we've kept Evan and Hazel's impending divorce under wraps. I'm sure things will be fine as long as we keep this to ourselves." Stefan forced himself to calm down.Cynthia was nowhere near as easy to convince. "But Hazel wants to divorce Evan!"Stefan froze. Cynthia was right. After all, it wouldn't matter to the public or Cain if Hazel and Evan got a divorce due to marital problems. What they cared about was the fact that Evan would have no ties to the

The Norwoods' expressions fell."Yeah, he doesn't have the power or connections to get the evidence! He must've had help!"The Norwoods' faces fell. Fear and terror had overwhelmed them when Evan produced the evidence. Now that they were safe, they realized that someone must've helped Evan procure the evidence. He couldn't have found it himself.Not even the Norwoods could find that kind of evidence! So, who was the one who provided help? The Norwoods had a feeling that an invisible force was pushing the whole case forward. They had to find the mastermind, or they would never rest easy.Someone spoke. "I know who it is!"Everyone turned and laid their eyes on Darius. James and the others were surprised. "You do?"Darius nodded darkly. "It has to be my competitors." He let out a long sigh.James and the sisters were stunned. "Your competitors? But you've ruled them out.""Yeah, you think they're beneath you!"They had that discussion after the last dinner. In the end, they rule
