Adam bid farewell to Howard after he received the poison. He returned to Avalan, but he could not give the medicine to Evelyn just yet. He had to hold off until he had the 10 million.
âMr. Adam, should we initiate our plan now?â Evelyn questioned.
âYes!â Adam nodded, âLetâs do it!â
The group arrived at West Shemer Lake an hour later. There was no one around, and the location was quiet and isolated.
Evelyn called Flynn while mentally preparing herself. The phone rang for a long time before Flynn finally picked it up.
Evelyn said with a teary voice, âFlynn, are you afraid to answer my calls now?â
Flynn said in response, âDad forbids me from answering your calls. Before he went back to the Altney, he specifically told me not to contact you!â
Evelyn/gritted her teeth in hatred.
Paul, you old devil! Youâre heartless! You donât give a damn about me anymore, and you wonât allow anyone else to do that? Fine, since youâre heartless, donât blame me for being ungrateful!
Evelyn pretended to sob, and she said, âI donât have anywhere else to go, Flynn. I might as well die. Itâs pointless to keep going.â
Flynn pleaded frantically, âEvelyn, stop with all that nonsense. Just hang on for a little longer. Maybe Dad will let you come home once Abelâs incident is resolved? After all, he has raised you since you were a child.â
Evelyn said, âI donât want to listen to you. Anyway, I no longer want to live. Right now, Iâm standing close to West Shemer Lakeâs edge. My suicide note is already written. After Iâve finished speaking with you, Iâll jump. Flynn, remember to come and get my suicide note. Itâs the last thing I have left in this world!â
âEvelyn!â
In a panic, Flynn leaped to his feet. He screamed, âDonât do anything stupid! Iâm on my way to get you right now. Donât jump, wait for me!â
Evelyn said, âFlynn, itâs too late. Iâm perched atop some rocks next to the lake. Iâll end it all after speaking to my dearest brother and jumping into the lake. Sob, sob, sobâ¦â
Flynn freaked out, and he yelled, âEvelyn!â
Evelyn had hung up the phone.
All Flynn could hear was the beeping that came from the other end of the phone.
Flynn did not have time to put on his coat when he rushed out of the living room with his car keys.
Once he left the villa, he sped all the way to the lake. One of his hands was on the wheel, and he kept calling Evelyn with the other hand. The phone had gone through, but no one was answering it.
He murmured, âEvelyn, donât take things too hard! Donât die! Wait for me, Evelyn. Donât jump!â
Flynn viciously pressed the gas pedal and sped off toward West Shemer Lake.
Thatâs right, Evelyn claimed to have stood on the West Shemer Lake rocks.
âKakakaka!â
Evelyn laughed triumphantly when she saw Flynn frantically calling her. She said, âFlynn, youâre such an easy target!â
Adam gave Evelyn a scornful look and said, âItâs because heâs worried about you!â
What kind of monster had Paul raised? Sheâs an ingrate!
Evelyn chuckled and remarked, âIsnât he worried about me in the same way Emmeline was worried about Janie? Why did she act recklessly given how smart she is?â
âSlap!â Adam smacked Evelyn across the face.
âWitch! Iâm warning you; Iâll kill you if you ever attempt to plot against Emmeline again!â
Evelyn covered her face and sneered coldly, âHumph! Mr. Adam, if you worry about Emmeline so much, it will become your weakness. You should be careful, I might take advantage of it.â
Adam raised his hand to hit her again, but Evelyn had mentally prepared and dodged that slap.
Flynn finally arrived at West Shemer Lake.
Adam, Evelyn, and the bodyguards were all in hiding.
Flynn called out to his sister desperately, âEvelyn! Evelyn! Where are you? Iâm here!â
He looked around, but there was no sign of Evelyn.
Flynn panicked. He wondered if his sister had jumped into the lake. All of a sudden, he caught sight of some womenâs shoes, which were resting on a rock with a piece of paper tucked underneath them.
Flynn felt like he was going to lose his mind. He screamed frantically, âEvelyn!â
Had Evelyn jumped into the lake? Are those her shoes and her suicide note?
He screamed again, âEvelyn!â
Flynn received a severe blow to the head just as he was about to rush toward the rock.
âBang!â
Flynnâs body staggered. He turned his head around in panic. He saw a burly man with a wooden stick standing behind him, and his sister seemed to be standing on a rock not far away.
Evelyn shouted, âHit him again! He saw me!â
âWhack!â
The bodyguard struck Flynn once more.
Blood was flowing down from Flynnâs head. He felt his warm blood flow all the way down to his neck.
âEvelynâ¦â
With a thump, Flynn lost consciousness and collapsed on the ground.
