PNB Chapter 106 Betting on His Guilt
Chapter 106 Betting on His Guilt
Garland slammed the handwritten document on the table, and the suppressed anger burst out of his head in an instant.
"Since you already know it's fake, why don't you expose me?"
"Are you still asking me what I do?"
Evelin smiled perfunctorily, still leaning on the main seat.
That’s right, it was fake. Garland saw it at a glance, so he didn’t show it to everyone.
But Evelyn was gambling.
Bet on the guilt that Garland has shown during this period and take advantage of it.
I bet Garland will definitely give her enough face and won't expose her.
"I want to hear your explanation."
Garland suppressed his anger, lowered his voice and squeezed out the words word by word.
If she wanted this position, he would give it to her willingly!
But she even wanted to deceive him, and he couldn't stand it!
"Because Vincent wants it."
Evelyn spoke of Vincent with a deliberately sweet and gentle smile.
That face that seemed really happy made Garland even more annoyed.
"Vincent has been using you from the beginning to the end. Why don't you understand?"
Even though he told himself this thousands of times in his heart, Garland finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared.
Veins bulged on his smooth forehead as he vented all his inner anger on this one sentence.
Evelyn didn't know who Vincent was, didn't he?
A person who would do anything to kill his biological mother and adoptive father for the sake of status.
He was just using Evelin’s identity to climb up step by step.
He did so many illegal, immoral and disgusting things behind the scenes.
He knew it clearly, but why couldn’t Evelin see this person clearly?
After hearing this, Evelin’s mind was filled with thoughts.
She understood, she understood everything.
She never said that Vincent was a good person, and he himself never tried to clear himself.
After a long while, Evelin spoke softly.
"Don't tell me anything. You are the only person in this world who is kind to me."
At this point, Evelin paused, her eyes completely darkened.
"You know who made me what I am today."
Evelyn clenched her fists, and once again recalled the three years when she had lived like a beast.
“Evelyn, I…”
"I would rather be used by him than be hurt by you again."
Before Garland could finish, Evelyn interrupted him anxiously.
God knows, she said this so calmly on the surface.
But inside she was using all her strength, her heart was in so much pain.
Compared to the hurt caused by Garland's words about substitutes, it was far less painful than him agreeing to let her become a living test subject in Huo Wanqing's hands.
How could the physical pain be compared to Garland's personal agreement to build a research institute for her?
Obviously with the strength of the Lan family, he could find her no matter what as long as he wanted.
But for three years, he never looked for her and even built a more advanced research institute for her.
Isn't it just as Huo Wanqing said, that Garland personally agreed to it?
However, she didn't know that Garland had gone to great lengths to find her.
Even the research institute had thought of it, but Huo Wanqing concealed it.
Hearing Evelyn's words, Garland froze and stared at her.
He seemed to finally understand how much hurt he had caused her five years ago.
So much so that now, she was willing to be used as a bargaining chip and was unwilling to open her heart to him again.
"It's actually nothing."
"As for me...I just can't stand seeing you guys doing well."
Evelin put down her hands that were supporting her chin, and her tone was very gentle, no longer provocative.
Although she was smiling, it was also obvious that she was holding back something.
"Me and her..."
Seeing Evelyn like this, Garland's anger was finally extinguished.
He immediately grabbed her hand and wanted to explain something, but unexpectedly Evelin turned around suddenly as if her tail was stepped on.
Those bloodshot eyes emitted a cold light, full of murderous intent, which was creepy.
"Shut up, I don't want to hear about you."
"If you dare to come near me again, I will kill her!"
After saying this, Evelyn shook off Garland's hand vigorously and disappeared quickly.
There was a loud roar of thunder, and small drops of rain fell slowly.
Evelyn stood in front of Edward's spirit tablet holding a black umbrella.
"Grandpa... I'm here to see you."
"Will you blame me for what happened today?"
Evelyn took off her hat, leaned against the table, and stroked Edward's spirit tablet.
"Grandpa, I took back the Lan family."
"The people in the Senate will be cleaned up soon."
"I have lived up to your trust in me."
"Look... Have I grown up..."
"Grandpa...why don't you pay attention to me..."
"Grandpa, I want to hear you talk."
"Even if you scold me for being reckless and impulsive, I will listen carefully, Grandpa..."
"Grandpa, I miss you so much..."
As she spoke, Evelin curled up her thin body.
The eye sockets that had been dry for a long time were finally wet and faintly shiny.
Garland, who was listening outside the door, felt a dull pain in his chest and an indescribable feeling in his throat.
It turned out to be her grandfather's last wish before he passed away, and he had wrongly blamed her again.
Every time something happened, he knew he should understand the cause and effect.
But when facing Evelin, he had no way to remain calm.
Blame it on her no matter what.
No wonder she hated herself so much.
Yes, such a bad person, even he himself would hate him.
But he still wanted to embrace her vulnerability.
Even though she hated his touch.
Now that the two of them have come to this point, isn’t it all because he cruelly pushed Evelin away?
Evelyn returned to Rose Castle exhausted, and the servants in the castle were still in a hurry.
The table was filled with delicious hot food, but Vincent was nowhere to be found.
Evelyn asked many servants but didn't get an answer. She opened the doors of each room one by one and finally found Vincent hiding in the attic on the top floor in a daze.
The room was dark, with only a beam of moonlight shining through the skylight and faintly shining on the ground.
Vincent was locked in the dark corner. He huddled up with his knees hugged, and one could vaguely see tears flowing out of his red eyes.
He looked so helpless, like a lost child, which made people feel heartbroken.
Evelin lingered outside the door for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but walked in softly with discomfort.
Hearing the sound, Vincent hurriedly wiped away his tears, not knowing where to hide.
Evelyn immediately hugged Vincent into her arms upon seeing this, and stroked his head again and again, imitating the way he comforted her every time.
She tried her best to warm his heart with her own warmth.
"never mind."
Evelin's gentle voice slowly came into his ears, and Vincent hugged her tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
