Chapter 627: Chapter 329: If You Are the Only Woman Left in the World, I Still Wouldn’t Want You (Three Updates)
Grayson Forrest didn’t miss the calculative look in Evie Larkin’s eyes.
He never expected that over the years, he had actually spoiled Evie Larkin to this extent.
Thinking about it, he was indeed at fault, for indulging her behavior all the time.
No wonder, when Forrest wanted to come back to work, he demanded that he fire Evie no matter what.
Now thinking about it, Forrest was more thoughtful than he realized.
However, since things have come to this point, it’s not too late to pull back from the brink.
The child in Jane Quinlan’s belly is the Forrest Family’s offspring, he must assist Kay Forrest to protect it well.
No matter if the child is a boy or a girl, they must be taken good care of.
"Director Forrest, in the end, you still don’t trust me. Is it that no matter what I say now, you all won’t be willing to believe me?" Evie Larkin showed a hurt look in her eyes.
Grayson Forrest smiled: "It’s not about trust; it’s just that you feel aggrieved, Wendy also feels aggrieved. It’s better to clear up these things."
Wendy became worried when she received a call asking her to come to the president’s office.
After hanging up the phone, she was somewhat panicked, feeling that something big was about to happen. Jane Quinlan, seeing her pale face, asked with some concern, "What’s wrong?"
"Director Forrest wants to see me," she replied, looking at Jane Quinlan for the first time without any sharpness in her eyes.
"Why be so afraid? Director Forrest won’t eat you, he’s actually very kind-hearted, rest assured and go up."
"But the president’s secretary said that Evie Larkin is also up there right now, asking me to hurry up," Wendy clenched her fists. Surely it wouldn’t be Evie Larkin harming her; that was her biggest worry.
Jane Quinlan looked at her: "What’s there to worry about? She just knows how to pretend. If she pretends, you pretend too, that’s all."
Wendy stood up, took a deep breath; she was originally going to report to Kay Forrest. Jane Quinlan said, "I’ll speak to Kay for you, you hurry up there."
Wendy didn’t say a word and turned to go upstairs.
As soon as she left, Jane Quinlan entered Kay Forrest’s office: "Kay Forrest, what did you just say to Director Forrest upstairs?"
"What happened?" Kay Forrest raised his eyebrows at her—the news reached this girl so fast?
"Director Forrest called Wendy up there, and Evie Larkin is also upstairs.
Don’t you think it’s strange? Why would Director Forrest want these two people to see him at the same time?"
"Really?" He put down his pen and stood up: "Stay in the office, I’m going up to take a look, maybe there’s a good show to watch."
"What good show are you talking about? Did you really tell Director Forrest something?"
"I told him about her trying to harm you," he said, already walking over to her and reaching out to mess up her hair.
"Okay, don’t worry about this matter, rest assured, there’s nothing wrong, my dad also knows now who is more important. Don’t forget, there’s also a Forrest Family’s golden baby in your belly."
He said and put his hands in his pockets and left.
Jane Quinlan thought for a moment, feeling more and more that something wasn’t right, so she simply followed him.
Kay Forrest saw her and said: "You want to go too?"
"If you can go up to watch the good show, can’t I? This matter is related to me, I’m also very curious," she said and stuck out her tongue at Kay Forrest.
Kay Forrest smiled helplessly, going up was fine, but she sure talked a lot.
Upon arriving upstairs, Wendy knocked on the door and entered Director Forrest’s office.
As soon as she entered, she bowed deeply to Director Forrest before turning her head to glance at a teary Evie Larkin sitting on the sofa.
She walked to Grayson Forrest’s desk and stood respectfully: "Director Forrest, you wanted to see me."
"I want to ask you something. You brought Jane Quinlan a cup of aloe vera juice that day, is that right?"
Wendy nodded: "Yes."
Just like an assistant, answering whatever the leader asked.
Grayson Forrest nodded: "Good, then I’ll ask you, did you decide to bring that drink for Jane Quinlan yourself, or did Evie tell you to do it?"
"Miss Larkin asked me to bring it." Wendy already somewhat knew what was happening; it seemed her guess was not wrong.
"You’re lying, Wendy. When people speak, they should have a conscience. How could you falsely accuse me like this?"
Evie Larkin’s voice grew louder as she said this.
Grayson Forrest looked towards Evie Larkin: "Evie, now don’t cry, and don’t speak. It will affect others’ emotions."
Evie Larkin wiped her tears away, and Grayson Forrest then turned to Wendy: "Do you know that aloe is bad for pregnant women?"
Wendy sighed: "Director Forrest, I really didn’t know because I’ve never had the experience of giving birth, so I didn’t pay much attention to that."
"Wendy, that menu stated that it’s prohibited for pregnant women," Evie Larkin frowned deeply.
"I’m not pregnant, how could I possibly pay attention to those things.
Not to mention me, even Jane Quinlan said that later when she went to eat with Director Forrest, she also didn’t notice the words on the menu.
It was only when she was chatting with Director Forrest and the server realized her meaning of being pregnant that he prompted her.
Besides, that restaurant was introduced by you and I had never been there before.
The dishes were ordered by you as well, saying you’re quite familiar with the menu there.
If you’re familiar, it would mean that you’ve been there many times.
I may not have noticed those words, but you probably did."
"From the beginning, I knew about it, but that day after the meal when we were about to leave, you said you liked the taste of the juice, so you wanted to take a cup back to drink.
You and Jane Quinlan don’t get along, how could I possibly think you would give the juice to her?"
"You..." Wendy got agitated as well: "How could you be so vicious? Jane Quinlan and I work in the same office, why would I want to harm her that way."
"Because you dislike her, and you like Kay Forrest, right?"
"I didn’t," Wendy stamped her foot, the nerve of Evie Larkin, she didn’t expect her to bite back that hard.
At the door, Jane Quinlan, who had been holding Kay Forrest’s hand, couldn’t bear to listen anymore.
She raised her hand, pushed the door open, and walked in, with Kay Forrest following.
Grayson Forrest looked towards the door: "Why have you two come over as well?"
Jane Quinlan bowed to Grayson Forrest: "Director Forrest, sorry, but I just can’t sit and listen to this anymore.
I’m not here to hurt anyone, but there are some things I must clarify.
Miss Larkin, may I ask when I ever had a bad relationship with Wendy?
If our relationship was so bad, would we be able to work together in the same office harmoniously?
During the days I was away, Wendy took good care of me.
She often helped me pour water, and sometimes when going down for a meal, she would bring drinks back for me."
Wendy looked at Jane Quinlan, her eyes showing a moment of astonishment.
She really did not expect Jane Quinlan to stand up for her at this time.
Evie Larkin gritted her teeth and looked at Jane Quinlan, annoyed she would interfere like this.
Hearing Jane say this, Wendy hurriedly spoke up: "That day I clearly told you that the juice was for Jane Quinlan.
You even said you didn’t like the pure aloe vera juice, and that Jane preferred hawthorn."
Evie Larkin’s pupils constricted as her gaze fell back onto Wendy.
"You two are actually teaming up against me."
"I don’t need to harm you, I’m a mother, and I want to live openly and honestly.
Whether you admit to what you’ve done or not is irrelevant to me.
But I hope you stop using others time and time again to harm me.
I did nothing wrong; being with Kay Forrest is my honor.
If I truly were the other woman, I would be willing to step aside, but now, in front of everyone, tell me, did our relationship ruin yours with Kay Forrest?"
Evie Larkin looked at Kay Forrest, his casual demeanor as if the matter did not concern him at all.
She scoffed: "If it weren’t for you, I’m confident that I could get him back."
"Your confidence has lasted ten years, hasn’t it? And yet you’ve had no success.
Kay Forrest has always been there. You haven’t captured his heart in ten years; do you think without me you’d have a chance?
Evie Larkin, I think you’re using the wrong tactics.
Your issues with Kay Forrest have nothing to do with me.
The same goes for Wendy; creating such a scene today, I find it really ridiculous.
You can try to disrupt my relationship with Wendy over this, but afterwards, I still have to work with Wendy in the same office.
Don’t you think your behavior now is a bit... over the top?
Please stop harassing me over this and putting all the blame on me."
As she spoke, she stepped forward, grabbed Kay Forrest’s arm, and pulled him in front of her: "Come on, say whatever you want to him."
"Wendy, let’s go, let them talk it out."
"If Kay Forrest says he wants to be with you, I, Jane Quinlan, absolutely won’t shamelessly cling to him.
I’ll leave gracefully.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of everything but men."
Having said this, she pulled Wendy into a bow towards Grayson Forrest, then turned and left.
Grayson Forrest faintly curled his lips, this Jane Quinlan, she’s not short-tempered; my son may have trouble controlling this girl in the future.
But, it’s also good, Kay Forrest can’t always be so unrestrained; having someone who can keep him in check is a good thing.
Grayson Forrest pushed his wheelchair once: "Alright, Jane is right, sort out your issues yourselves."
"No need, Dad; you don’t have to leave. Stay here as a witness," said Kay Forrest.
Kay Forrest stepped forward and moved Grayson Forrest’s wheelchair from the desk to the opposite side of the coffee table.
He sat down as well, with Evie Larkin’s expression looking very unpleasant.
Kay Forrest crossed his legs nonchalantly, seemingly always favoring a carefree posture.
"Come on, Evie Larkin, what exactly do you want to achieve?
Kill my child? Make Jane Quinlan leave me? Marry me?"
"Do you have to be so cruel when you speak?"
"Sounds cruel when said out loud, doesn’t it? But aren’t all these cruel things done by you?
Stop playing the hypocrite; do you really think all of us Forrest men are fools to be toyed with by you?
Today, in front of my father, I’m making my vow here.
I, Kay Forrest, swear that I will never, ever marry you, Evie Larkin.
I will never, ever fall in love with you, and if I break this oath, may lightning strike me, doomed to be alone for life.
To put it bluntly, even if you were the only woman left on earth, I wouldn’t fancy you.
I have said everything I needed to, and I won’t say it a second time. You’d better learn to back off; otherwise..."
