The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195: I Will Tell You Everything!

Evelyn had no interest in talking with the man who had kicked her out of his house, disowned her, and humiliated her in front of the whole nation.

The ringing stopped.

She exhaled, preparing to finally focus on work.

But before her laptop even finished booting, her phone buzzed again.

This time, it was a text.

"Evelyn! When did you gain the audacity to mingle with the Knights? Have you lost your mind?"

She froze for a split second, then burst out laughing. The absurdity of it all was too much.

"Lost my mind? He must be joking. Right!?"

This was the same man who told her she no longer existed in his world.

The same man who cared more about his reputation than his daughter.

And now, suddenly, he had the nerve to lecture her about who she was "mingling" with?

She shook her head in disbelief.

Maybe he finally realized he was wrong?

Or,

Maybe the stress from his precious mistress, Lana, had finally eaten his brain cells.

At first, she planned to ignore the message. But it was too funny not to reply.

"Who are you? You’re not someone who can tell me what to do. Stop contacting me. I’ll block your number."

She hit "Send" and smiled in satisfaction. That felt good. Liberating, even.

Placing her phone on the desk, she turned back to her laptop.

But peace lasted all of ten seconds before another message appeared.

"Call me. I will tell you the reason why the Knights and the Walters can never work together or have any relationship."

Evelyn suddenly feels as if the entire world has come to a halt.

Her eyes widened as she reread the words. Once. And then twice. And finally, three times.

The message is still there.

Her hands gradually started to shake slightly, and her heart raced faster than she was willing to admit.

That sentence... "The reason why the Knights and the Walters can never work together" was something she had wanted to hear in her entire life.

It was like a family curse in her mind.

Every time she had asked about it growing up, her father’s answer had been the same: "Don’t question it. Just remember, you can’t befriend or work with the Knight family for the rest of your life!"

Even when she was old enough to demand the truth, her father had simply tightened his jaw and walked away.

Not even her grandparents ever explained why the Knights were treated like enemies.

And now, years later, after everything he had done to her, after he had kicked her out for refusing to abort her child... he wanted to talk about the reason?

Her stomach twisted in conflict.

Part of her wanted to throw the phone across the room and never look back.

But another part of her... the one that still carried old scars and unanswered questions, wanted to know.

What if there was something bigger behind their families’ feud?

Something she needed to understand... especially now that she was married to Axel Knight.

She sank into her chair and leaned back, rubbing her temples.

"Should I call him?" she whispered to herself. "What if it’s another manipulation?"

But what if it wasn’t?

The silence in the room felt heavier by the second.

Even the sound of the clock ticking seemed louder, pushing her toward a decision she didn’t want to make.

She pressed it, "Call"

"I want you to stop whatever plan you have in your head. I hear the news you mentioned, ’the company’s philanthropic collaboration with Hope Medical Center.’ Have you lost your mind?"
