Chapter 119
Timothy’s words made Evelyn’s expression turn ugly. She could not help but bite her lip and ask, “Embarrass myself? What’s there to feel embarrassed? It was in the past. In the past, I was still from the Dawson family. I can choose whoever I want to be with, but now… After Sophie came back, everything belonged to her. What do I have? What kind of man can l marry in the future? Have you thought about all this? If you haven’t, can’t I think for myself?”
Sure enough, no matter how much Evelyn wanted to pretend, there would be times when she could not.
Timothy’s words just now had obviously stung her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have told the truth in front of her parents.
At this moment, Marcus’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
Initially, he had hoped that he was thinking too much.
But now, it seemed that he had guessed everything correctly. He simply did not want to admit it.
“That’s why you’re throwing yourself at Ronald so that you can keep a way open for retreat in the future? You’re only 201 years old! How can you humiliate yourself like this and get together with that promiscuous man? Marcus was furious. His eyes were filled with disappointment at Evelyn’s failure to meet his expectations
“Although we were not related by blood, Evelyn was someone whom we had raised for 20 years. Did she not learn anything good from us?‘ thought Marcus.
Seeing the disappointment in Marcus’s eyes, Evelyn lowered her head and said something that numbed herself along the way, “At least Ronald is from the Nicholls family. Even if he was fooling around with other women, you’ve all seen his attitude toward me just now. He treats me differently. Perhaps he will change after he is with me.”
“It is hard to change his nature!” Marcus roared angrily, “Your mother and I have rejected the marriage with the Nicholls family for you all these years because of his promiscuity! I didn’t expect you to jump into a fire pit for your selfish reasons!! You, you’re really pissing me off!”
Marcus was so angry that his face turned pale. It could be seen that although he had been very disappointed in Evelyn. these past few days, he was still worried about her.
But at this moment, Evelyn had really disappointed him.
Evelyn bit her lips. She couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her head and said, “Whether it’s a fire pit or not, it’s up to me! Anyway, you’ve been hoping for me to leave this family, haven’t you? I’ve found my own way out! I don’t have to wait for my biological parents, whom I’ve never met before, to pick me up! Isn’t it good for you guys? Why continue to pretend to care about me?”
Evelyn’s words were like knives stabbing into Marcus’s and Bianca’s hearts.
At this moment, Marcus could not take it anymore. He raised his hand and slapped Evelyn.
Everyone was shocked.

Chapter 119
Evelyn was hit so hard that she turned her head away. It was obvious how much force Marcus used.
The living room instantly fell silent. No one spoke, and the servants were so frightened that they kept quiet out of fear.
In all these years, this was the first time they had seen Marcus hit someone in this house!
“You ungrateful bastard! Go back upstairs! From today onwards, you’re not allowed to go anywhere without my permission!” Marcus pointed upstairs and shouted at Evelyn.
Evelyn covered her face. Her heart was cold. Suddenly, she laughed. “Isn’t it just solitary confinement? What’s the big deal? Anyway, you won’t be able to lock me up for long.
With that, she turned around and went upstairs.
There was no regret in her words at all.
As he watched Evelyn leave, Marcus suddenly felt a little unsteady.
Fortunately, Sophie was quick–witted and supported Marcus. “Dad! Are you alright? Is your blood pressure high?”
He was so agitated just now and suddenly felt dizzy. It must have been caused by his blood pressure.
Marcus shook his head and looked at Sophie. His mood eased a little. “It’s fine. I’ll be fine after sitting for a while.”
With that, he sat down with the help of Sophie and Bianca.
Bianca looked at Marcus with a pained expression on her face and said, “Evelyn, are you alright? Evelyn is just a child, why are you angry with her? Perhaps she was just confused for the moment.”
Even now, Bianca was still putting in a good word for Evelyn.
However, Marcus was already holding his forehead. “Don’t be silly. She’s not from the Dawson family. She doesn’t have the backbone that the Dawson family of us have.”
This sentence silenced everyone present.
They hoped that what Evelyn said just now was just out of anger, but it was obvious that she really wanted to marry
Ronald.
In order to have a so–called backup plan, she would not hesitate to marry a libertine….
This was definitely not something the Dawson family could do.

With the commotion and Bianca had lost their appetite.
They had a quick bite of dinner and went upstairs. Kenneth was not feeling well either. After eating, he left.
Wesley was probably busy today. He actually worked overtime and did not go home. The others had no mood and returned
to their rooms as well.

Chapter 119
After Sophie returned to her room, her mind was filled with Evelyn’s words, and she was a little gloomy.
It seemed like Evelyn really wanted to marry into the Nicholls family.
However, whether it was the Nicholls family or the Dawson family, they did not agree to this marriage. Sophie was afraid that Evelyn would be disappointed
in the blink of an eye, three days passed
Evelyn really did not go downstairs, nor did she go to school for lessons.
It was only when the school called and said that she had skipped classes consecutively that Marcus asked Blanca to release Evelyn
Evelyn did not seem surprised at all. When she went downstairs, she did not feel the slightest bit of regret or fear. She ate as if nothing happened and left for school
She did not seem to have much attachment to the people in this family.
She thought that she had Ronald under control.
Therefore, she had forgotten her promise that she would serve Sophie coffee and would treat her nicely.
Sophie could not be bothered with her Without Evelyn around, she felt more comfortable.
After Evelyn left, Sophie also bid farewell to her family and went to school.
In the past two days, her brothers had been fighting to send her to school or pick her up after school. However, after Kenneth’s accident, she did not want to cause any more trouble for her brothers, so she handed the car keys that Lucas had given her to the driver.
From then on, the driver would pick her up and send her to school. Sophie was happy with that.
Soon, she arrived at the school.
Sophie
le saw Dolores as soon as she got out of the
car.
Helplessness flashed across her eyes, and Sophie could not help but shake her head.
Ever since Dolores bumped into Kenneth, she had been waiting for Sophie at the school gate for the past two days.
On the first day, Dolores asked for Kenneth’s contact information. On the second day, she reported to him about the repair
of the car
Dolores had told Sophie yesterday that she had sent a message to Kenneth, but he did not reply to Dolores’s message. After confirming that she did not friend the wrong guy, Dolores let Sophie go.
For some reason, Sophie wanted to walk past Dolores and pretend not to see her today.
However, Dolores still noticed her. “Sophie! I’m waiting for you. Didn’t you see me?”

Sophie stopped in her tracks helplessly and turned to look at her. “Dolores, you’ve been blocking me at the school gate every day. What’s the matter today?”
