As the words fell, Caden Lockwood got off Evelyn Morgan. Without even glancing at her, he put on his coat, took out a check, filled in the amount, and placed it on the bedside table.

His gaze caught sight of the pile of contraceptives on the floor, and there wasn’t a trace of warmth in Caden Lockwood’s dark eyes.

"Don’t degrade yourself in this way anymore." Caden Lockwood’s voice squeezed out through clenched teeth, "And don’t use this manner to make yourself despicable."

Listening to Caden Lockwood’s words, Evelyn Morgan’s body softened, her nose turned sour, and tears "plopped" down in drops.

Watching Caden Lockwood pick up the car keys and leave, Evelyn Morgan hurriedly spoke: "Uncle!"

It’s not what he thinks!

However, he didn’t listen to her explanation at all, took big strides, and left, leaving only the sound of the car driving away.

Vision blurred more and more, Evelyn Morgan sniffed, feeling grievance and regret in her heart.

It wasn’t solely for Cecilia Lynch that she did this.

She truly... made her decision.

Rather than ending up divorcing Caden Lockwood and becoming a twice-married woman herself.

She might as well be brave and take this step.

Anyway, no matter what happens in the future, the current Caden Lockwood is indeed very good to her!

She felt that being with him, she had benefited, which is why she did it.

But was her way problematic?

Can he actually be... so angry?

"Wuwu—" Evelyn Morgan lowered her head, her tears dripping onto her hands like a cavalry trampling her heart, unbearably painful.

This time, he went out not to extinguish his physical fire, but rather to extinguish the fire in his heart.

She had angered him.

She had made him feel disgust.

Taking out her phone, she wanted to call Caden Lockwood, wanted to explain something, but upon seeing that call button, she didn’t press it for a long time.

How should she explain?

Even she herself was confused.

Getting up and seeing that million-dollar check, she held it to her chest and couldn’t control herself, bursting into tears with a loud sob...

Caden Lockwood drove to the company, thinking about how Evelyn Morgan used her body to trade for money, and he was seething with anger.

Had she encountered something, needing so much money suddenly?

He simply couldn’t think of that reason.

Caden Lockwood’s breathing was rough, his surroundings filled with cold fury.

Whenever he thought of Evelyn Morgan lying beneath him, in such a posture of surrender, he felt murderous.

In her view, does her purity only cost a million?

For a mere million, she sold herself like this?

Is she really... not regretful at all?

Caden Lockwood’s handsome face was dark as a cloud. He called Sean Ashton, asking him to check the reason Evelyn Morgan urgently needed money.

Hopefully, it’s a significant reason that could make him willing to forgive her.

Otherwise, she’s doomed!

...

Caden Lockwood didn’t return home all night, and Evelyn Morgan sat on the bed waiting for him all night.

Aunt May came to ask Evelyn Morgan what happened, but she refused to say.

She merely stubbornly did nothing, gripping the check, waiting for Caden Lockwood to return.

But Evelyn Morgan was disappointed.

No matter how she eagerly looked out, it remained silent outside the villa, without the slightest sign of Caden Lockwood returning.

Evelyn Morgan sat blankly where she was, gazing at the outside as the sky gradually lightened, but her heart was overwhelmed with a deep bitterness.

It was as if her life had turned dark.
