Chapter 146 You’re the One in My Life
Pushing Evan Hughes away, Suzy Carters got up off the sofa.
And she added, “Get out of my room and marry that so-called First Miss! I wish you all the best.”
Evan looked at her back helplessly.
Since he came to see her so late by night, it was impossible for him to leave.
Evan got up, returned to the bed, and lay down beside her. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but she pushed him away once more.
“Don’t touch me.”
Evan sighed. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “The First Miss of the Smith family has been missing for many years.”
Hearing this, Suzy, who had her back to Evan, was stunned.
The First Miss of the Smith family had been lost for many years?
She was surprised for a few seconds and then said sarcastically, “Really? Why don’t you go find her and get married immediately? She has five uncles! That’s the Smith Family. At that time, not only Somo City but also Noto City will all be yours!”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Evan was speechless.
At that moment, he could not tolerate it any longer. He pulled Suzy into his embrace forcefully.
“Weigh your words.”
Suzy struggled for a while, but was unable to break loose. She could only lean against his chest and responded, “I am talking nicely, aren’t I? I hope that Mr. Hughes will take into account that I’ve been with you before and take care of me in the future.”
Evan looked at her with a scowl, and he said gravely, “Suzy, you’re the one I like.”
“I’m not going to marry Wendy Smith.”
“Then why didn’t you break off the engagement?” Suzy felt bad, and then she heard Evan ask, “What else did Marian Jacob tell you?”
Suzy was puzzled, “What? What else are you hiding from me? You don’t have two fiancées, do you?”
Evan was speechless.
Suzy did not tell him anything else Marian did. She knew what the woman said was right that day. Tommy Maddox was in a coma, and she might really be able to destroy Yell Organisation.
Furthermore, Marian was a crazy woman obviously.
If Marian could not get what she wanted, she might even destroy them all.
Evan held Suzy in his arms. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “When I was eight years old, my parents passed away in a car accident. Cherry Sherman and I were orphaned.”
Hearing that, Suzy felt pity for him.
“Evan…”
“The perpetrator of the car accident was Steward Carters. He was drunk.”
Steward Carters was her foster father.
Suzy was stunned. At this moment, she had finally got the answer to the question she”d always been curious about. It turned out that this was the hatred between the Carters family and him.
Evan could not conceal his sadness and said. “At that time, the four of us were in the car. Cherry was only five years old and didn’t know anything. I held her in my arms and the doctor told me that they had not been rescued.”
Suzy felt a great weight of sorrow.
Theoretically, if a drunk driver had killed two lives, he should go to jail. But she knew what happened next…
“The Carters Family was exempted from penalties with its influence, was it?”
“Yes,” Evan replied quietly.
The Hughes Family was not a wealthy family. It was only a middle-class family, but the whole family lived happily.
However, after that incident…
Steward Carters bribed the police. Not only was he not punished by the law, but also he did not even offer compensation.
Evan and Cherry Sherman were sent to the orphanage.
Evan’s younger sister, the tragic life of the orphanage, and the sudden death of his parents, all of these had changed him completely.
All these years, every night, he would think of the scene of his parents sitting in the front row in a pool of blood.
Evan had suffered from sleeplessness then.
He would never forget the car that crashed into them and the face of the man in the driver’s seat…
Evan did not know when it started, he swore that he would make Steward Carters suffer from retribution and destroy his family!
Suzy touched his face, and his heart softened immediately.
“Don’t be sad. They will definitely get their comeuppance.”
Suzy did not know what kind of life she had before in the orphanage. How to put it? Being adopted by the Carters family seemed to be a blessing, but actually it was a misfortune.
Evan continued, “When I was in junior high school, I was supported by Mr. Old Smith’s foundation, all the way to university.”
“When I founded the Hughes Group, I borrowed one billion from him. He agreed immediately on the condition that I got engaged to Wendy Smith.” Evan fiddled with Suzy’s hair and said in a low voice, “At that time, I didn’t know that I would meet someone I loved so much in the future, so I agreed.”
Suzy colored slightly. She did not expect that the background of this engagement was such a story. Then she complained, “Why does Mr. Old Smith think so highly of you?”
At that time, the property of Evan and that of the Smith family were extremely different.
Evan smiled faintly. “Because I’m outstanding.”
What he said was true.
The Smith family was not lacking in money. Mr. Old Smith did not care about one’s background when choosing a fiance for his granddaughter, and Evan did not let Mr. Old Smith down. He still felt good about Evan.
“Back then, I promised Mr. Old Smith to get engaged and even signed an agreement. If I break off the engagement, I will give the Hughes Group away to him.”
Evan confessed everything.
“What?” Upon hearing this, Suzy was shocked.
What a ridiculous agreement!
At this time, she understood why Evan had refused to break off the engagement.
And then, Suzy felt even more disappointed. Without the Hughes Group, how could Evan take his revenge? What should she do?
“Don’t worry. When I went to Noto City with you, I found out that Wendy Smith was missing when she was a child. Grandpa promised me that as long as Wendy Smith did not like me when I found her, the engagement would be dissolved peacefully.”
Suzy breathed a sigh of relief and then frowned, “But what if she is founded and she likes you?”
Evan was very handsome and rich. Everyone loves a man like him.
“No, she won”t.”
Suzy’s eyes flickered slightly. She was silent for a moment, and then said in a flat tone, “Evan, what if you give up breaking off the engagement? We…”
“Shut up!”
Evan knew what Suzy was going to say, so he interrupted her directly.
Suzy continued, “That’s the Smith family! Marian was right. Wendy Smith and you are very well matched. I just…”
When he got back, he was about to seal Marian’s mouth. Evan looked down, clasped the back of Suzy’s head, and kissed her.
“Uh…”
Their lips met and Evan bit her lower lip as punishment.
Suzy pushed him away and said unhappily, “Why did you bite me?”
Evan’s eyes became dim, and he hugged her tightly, his magnetic voice sounding a little cold.
“Suzy, don’t even think of escaping me.”
“You are the one in my life.”
