The confrontation between Evelyn and Ryan had stretched on for about five minutes in the villa's living
room. After Evelyn finished her statement, Ryan didn't immediately offer a rebuttal. Instead, he
continued to gaze at her, a silent smile playing at his lips, as if he was trying to read her like an open
book.
"However, Miss Wrenn, you should be aware that Nicole and Colton are currently in the same city and
very close." Ryan finally spoke, his words flowing like he was simply sharing an interesting tale.
His lips parted slightly as his upper and lower lips met in a deliberate collision. The deliberate manner
of his speech allowed Evelyn to release a breath she didn't realize she had been holding.
In this silent showdown, she had emerged victorious.
"But, Miss Wrenn, have you considered this: if Colton were to bring me down, do you think he would
still stay with you? Is the issue of the child's paternity something he can overlook? Or to put it another
way, even if he doesn't end up with Nicole, would he continue being with you?" Ryan's words struck the
core of Evelyn's heart.
Evelyn inhaled sharply, taken aback by the question she hadn't pondered before. What would happen if
Colton discovered that the child wasn't his? What kind of fate would she face?
Ryan, with his gaze fixed on Evelyn, found that his words were beginning to take effect as a change in
expression spread across the woman's face. He knew that with a bit more provocation, he could
achieve his goal.
"As far as I know, you and Colton haven't obtained your marriage certificate yet. The law might not
protect you." Ryan lightly chuckled, his demeanor seemingly carefree.
To Evelyn, this look was that of a devil—a malevolent force that aimed to inflict harm.
"So, what's your decision, then?"
Evelyn lifted her head to meet Ryan's gaze, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
This smile left Ryan slightly stunned. It felt as though something had slipped from his grasp, something
he desperately tried to hold onto but couldn't quite capture.
He wanted to control the situation but found himself losing control.
"Sorry, Mr. Yael, I have no interest in such a partnership," Evelyn declared without waiting for Ryan's
response. She rose from her seat, turned around, and issued a stern command, "Show our guest out."
Ryan remained seated, watching Evelyn's departing figure. He couldn't quite believe it.
He had laid out the situation to Evelyn, and it was clear that his words were to her disadvantage. Why,
then, did she still refuse him? Wasn't partnering with him the only option left?
Ryan was perplexed, and he couldn't comprehend how he had been rejected despite revealing the
chessboard so openly.
With the courteous assistance of the maid, Ryan found himself outside the villa.
On the balcony of the second floor, Evelyn stood watching Ryan's departure, her gaze heavy and
contemplative.
Ryan's words were all based on facts; he hadn't lied to her. His strategy was sound, and what he had
said could indeed sway her into cooperating with him. Joining forces with him seemed like the only way
to improve her odds.
However, there was something Ryan didn't know. This villa was under constant surveillance by Colton.
Even though Colton was currently in Florend and the living room was empty, he would still know
everything that was said during their conversation.
That was one of the reasons Evelyn had declined the partnership. Another reason was Ryan's
unreliability. For instance, after he had helped Evelyn poison Nicole, he promptly informed Colton about
it despite promising to keep it a secret.
That action had brought her unimaginable consequences...
Evelyn suddenly recalled that terrifying night involving Colton. The memory sent shivers down her
spine.
Cooperating with someone of such dubious credibility held no appeal for her. It wasn't as if she couldn't
do anything by herself.
If that day came, she would use every ounce of her strength to prevent Nicole and Colton from being
together, even if she couldn't be with Colton anymore.
"Heh." Evelyn let out a bitter laugh and returned to her room under the watchful eyes of the maids.
At this point, she felt as if she were under constant surveillance; it was not much different from being in
prison.
Before long, news of the villa incident reached Colton.
"Ryan actually went to see Evelyn?" Beryl arched an eyebrow in surprise.
It was unexpected for Ryan to set aside his pride and approach Evelyn to achieve his goal.
