Chapter 192

Chapter 192:

The startling truth left everyone in complete shock, including Kian. Madisyn had a boyfriend? Wasn’t she supposed to be Dane’s lover? By instinct, he turned to Teresa for clarification, but she was nowhere to be found.

Having satisfied her hunger and thirst, Madisyn reclined gracefully in her chair, looking at Liza and the others. “You’re all fools, letting a few words from someone control you like puppets.”

Liza grappled with the reality of the situation. With Dane’s confirmation and Teresa’s hasty exit, they had to confront the truth. “So, you really are Mr. Johns’s sister?” Liza’s voice quivered as she spoke, and she swallowed hard.

Madisyn gave a nod in affirmation. Her colleagues’ legs gave way, and they fell to their knees in defeat. “Madisyn, we’re so sorry! It was our mistake! We didn’t realize who you were!” one of them pleaded, visibly trembling.

Kian’s face turned ashen, his expression one of complete confusion. If Madisyn was Dane’s sister, then who was Teresa? Madisyn said icily, “Your blindness isn’t the worst of it. The real issue is how much you’ve been embezzling from the company. Today, it’s time for you to settle your debt.”

What? They had been caught? Liza and the others attempted to offer explanations, but they were interrupted by a call from the HR department. Madisyn smirked. “If you have explanations, take them up with HR.” They had no choice but to leave the scene.

Only Kian remained, standing in stunned disbelief. As Evie settled back into her seat, she glared at him with revulsion. “Why are you still here? Leave now!” But Kian found himself unable to move. He looked at the group, suddenly noticing how effortlessly Evie fit in among them, as if she was always meant to be there.

Though she appeared carefree and relaxed, her grace and composure were undeniable. Kian realized they were clearly from the same circle. “Evie, I—”

“What do you have to say to my sister?” Andrew’s piercing, icy gaze fixed on Kian, carrying an edge of threat.

Sister? Kian was hit with another wave of shock. The aura of this man was unmistakably commanding—he was clearly someone exceptional. And Evie was his sister?

“This can’t be,” Kian muttered, grappling with the shock. “Evie’s profile indicates she was an orphan!”

That was why he had believed he could be her sunshine. If Evie were indeed a wealthy heiress…

“An orphan?” Madisyn laughed softly. “She’s actually a member of the Klein family, the wealthiest family in Ansport.”

Evie had authorized her to disclose this fact. Kian was left completely speechless. The wealthiest family in Ansport? This was a family beyond his wildest imagination. This was a name that inspired awe throughout the nation, the most prestigious family in the country, even more influential than the Johns family.

Kian’s breath hitched as he looked at Evie. It was only now that he perceived the undeniable nobility she radiated, a quality far beyond his grasp. Yet he had been foolish enough to believe she was an orphan and even thought that Evie was inferior to Teresa. How absurd!

The woman he had meticulously chosen proved to be a fraud, while the girlfriend he had forsaken was a true heiress—not just any heiress, but the heiress of the prestigious Klein family!

Kian felt a surge of blood rush to his head, making him nearly choke on his own shock. Moments later, he collapsed to his knees with a heavy thud, tears pouring down his cheeks. “Evie, I’m so sorry! I must have lost my mind. I was utterly deceived by Teresa. She claimed to be Mr. Johns’s sister and promised me numerous opportunities if I stayed with her. My intention was to help you. You’ve been struggling for so long without making any progress, and it was hard for me to watch. I just wanted to better my own situation so that I could genuinely help you.”

With just a few words, Kian tried to portray himself as the epitome of devotion. Trickery toward naive young women was one thing… But deceiving them? Did he truly believe they were fools?

Evie’s lips quivered. After a few days of reflection, she finally saw Kian’s true nature and realized how gullible she had been. Her naivety had made it easy for someone like Kian to deceive her. His lies were riddled with inconsistencies, but she had been too blinded by love to notice.

Looking back now, she found his deceit painfully clear. “Kian, look at me,” Evie said with calm detachment. Kian lifted his eyes to her, believing his gaze conveyed deep affection.

“Evie, give me another chance. I see now how wrong I was. The only thing that matters is us being together. I swear I won’t hurt you again by acting like I know what’s best for you.”

“Oh, so now you realize you’ve hurt me,” Evie replied coolly.

“I truly regret it, Evie. My heart has always been yours! Teresa could never hold a candle to you. How could I ever be interested in her? I only used her to get what I needed to help you!” Kian insisted earnestly.

Evie let out a laugh. Her smile remained as dazzling as ever. Kian was briefly mesmerized, his longing for her intensifying. Having such a beautiful girlfriend, who was also a member of the Klein family, made him feel like the luckiest man in the world!

Had he known earlier, he would never have pursued Teresa. But fortunately, Evie loved him deeply. She would surely choose him again. “You jerk!”
