Chapter 516: Chapter 516: You Will Never Attain True Happiness
After a pause, Jessica Rhodes spoke again, "Let Evelyn Morgan go as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will make you taste the bitterness of pain!"
Upon hearing this, Caden Lockwood’s hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
A thought crept into his mind with even more doubt—L, could he really be Evelyn Morgan’s long-lost biological brother?
However, L’s whereabouts were extremely difficult to trace.
Caden Lockwood had invested a lot of manpower to investigate but had never found any useful information.
"Doesn’t L intend to come out and meet me himself?" Caden Lockwood said coldly, "Is it fun for him to keep hiding in the shadows and fighting with me?"
"He will come out to meet you," Jessica said in a lowered tone, "When he appears, it will be the moment you are destined to fail!"
"Then let’s see," Caden Lockwood met Jessica’s gaze, "By the way, I have something else for you to tell him."
Jessica raised an eyebrow, "Go ahead."
"No matter what his relationship with my wife is, I’m her husband, after all." Caden Lockwood’s voice carried a chilling determination, "If he dares to continue playing tricks to ruin the relationship between me and my wife, no matter who he is, I will not let him continue in peace!"
"Mr. Lockwood, I’m betting between you and L, and I wager he wins," Jessica replied with an admiring tone, "The Lockwood Family has been domineering for so many years, and it is bound to be brought down by L!"
With that, Jessica got up and gave Caden Lockwood a gentle smile.
After taking a couple of steps, Jessica turned back and softly said, "I want you to look at this face of mine, identical to Yvonne Rhodes, and slowly repent, slowly blame yourself, so that you will never... ever find true happiness!"
After uttering her oath-like curse, Jessica’s eyes were filled with undisguised hatred. She glanced at Caden Lockwood once more before turning away and leaving.
Watching Jessica’s retreating figure, Caden Lockwood gripped the coffee cup tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white and the veins on his temple throbbing violently, making him look especially terrifying and terrifying.
Caden Lockwood remained seated, motionless, as the horrific image of Yvonne Rhodes jumping to her death intertwined with Jessica’s smiling face in his mind. A pang of pain surged in his chest. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Yvonne Rhodes...
Jessica Rhodes...
Caden Lockwood’s brows furrowed tightly as he realized that some secrets were sure to be uncovered soon.
He contemplated how he could protect Evelyn from harm.
At that moment, Caden Lockwood’s phone rang. It was James Lockwood calling, inviting him to attend a meal.
Caden Lockwood did not refuse and got up to leave the company.
Evelyn was still in the office waiting for Caden Lockwood. Not long after, the staff member who had just left returned.
"Ma’am!" the employee said, panting, "I told the boss you were waiting here for him, but the boss is tied up at the moment and told me to tell you to go home first."
The employee’s words were hollow.
He hadn’t told Caden Lockwood that Evelyn was waiting in the office at all.
James Lockwood had instructed him to say those things to make Evelyn misunderstand.
Hearing the employee’s words, a heavy tremor went through Evelyn’s eyes.
Immediately, what little light remained in her eyes quickly dimmed.
He told her... to leave?
Knowing she had come, he was still with Yvonne Rhodes and didn’t even bother to see her, just ordered her to leave directly?
Because Yvonne Rhodes was there, not even wanting to patronize her, is that it?
