Chapter 140

Asher took over the company, and because of his outstanding ability, many people had already accepted him, the CEO who had appeared out of nowhere.

Even his thoughts and ideas were clearer than Mr. Linde’s.

Young people were better able to keep up with the times.

He thought of Elara, who looked down on him and thought he was just using Evelyn to climb higher.

He could not help but chuckle.

She had wanted to crush him before.

She would not allow him to stand up for himself.

But soon enough, she would understand.

He would be a hundred times better than Lysander.

The thought of her coming to beg him in the future made him feel a bit better inside.

The assistant, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned to Asher and asked, “Mr. Blackwood, are we heading back to the company for a meeting?”

“Yeah.” He casually replied.

Asher said, “Arrange a restaurant. I am buying Ms. Hawthorne dinner tonight.”

“Will do,” the assistant replied.

In the afternoon, Elara followed Evelyn into the elevator.

Seeing Evelyn touching up her makeup in front of the mirror, Elara asked, “Boss, are you going out?”

Evelyn replied, “Someone asked me out for dinner, so I’m just going over to the restaurant now.”

“Boyfriend?” Elara asked, looking at her curiously.

Hearing this, Evelyn paused for a moment.

She glanced at Elara and said, “No, it’s Asher.”

Upon hearing that name, Elara looked at Evelyn in surprise.

She recalled Asher saying that he did not cozy up to anyone.

In the end, he still arranged to meet Evelyn.

Seeing Elara looking at her in surprise, Evelyn asked, “Why? Do you want to go?”

Elara replied, “It’s been so long. Are you still interested in him?”

Evelyn noticed Elara looking at her intently. “I heard he’s your ex. You used to like him?”

Elara raised an eyebrow,” Since you know that, yet you’re still with him?”

Evelyn shrugged, “You’re not with him now. Why can’t I be with him? He’s quite good–looking and has a mind of his own.”

“Be it in terms of looks or ability, he’s not bad. Except for his family background. But his mother had a good relationship

with me.”

The logistics company of the Linde family had been developing well in the past two years.

It was already one of the best in the logistics industry.

Many platforms would work with them.

Elara looked at Evelyn and knew she had no right to interfere in her matters.

But when she saw Asher, she was still a little worried.

Seeing Elara’s serious expression, Evelyn placed her hand on Elara’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, we’re just talking about work. I won’t touch him. No matter what, he’s your ex. If I sleep with him, I won’t be able to raise my head in front of you, right?”

“No.” Elara said, “You’ve misunderstood me. I just don’t like him. I’m afraid he’ll snatch you away.”

Elara’s words made Evelyn laugh. “I’ll try my best not to let him snatch me away. If you’re worried, why don’t you come with me?”

“Forget it,” Elara said. She did not want to see him. “In case he still thinks I’m interested in him.”

Besides, she had her own things to do.

After leaving the company, Elara met Natalie.

She vented about Evelyn.

Natalie grinned, “That’s great!”

“Well, what?” Elara asked, confused.

“Someone like Evelyn, from the Hawthorne family who is not married, can talk to whoever she wants. She’s living so freely,” Natalie responded.

Elara sighed. “I’m telling you something else, and you’re here envying her.”

“If Asher likes being with her, let him be!” Natalie said, shrugging. “You can’t stop her.”

Elara frowned, “I just can’t stand seeing him happy.”

“Hasn’t your father’s matter been settled? Asher has learned his lesson,” Natalie enquired.

Natalie looked at Elara. “He didn’t do anything to you. Although he was indeed a little scum in the past, he didn’t deserve to die.”

“Moreover, he is willing to give himself up, and the rich woman likes him. What else could he do? Or are you still interested in him?”

Natalie’s words made Elara frown.

What she said was true.

He hurt her, but that was all in the

past.

But she hated him.

Apart from not wanting to make the same mistake again.

She thought of the grievances he had inflicted on her.

There was always a lingering resentment in her heart.

After having dinner with Natalie, the two of them parted ways at the restaurant and went home.

Elara was still on her way when she received a call from Crispin,

“Elara, Lysander’s in trouble!”

When Elara arrived at the military hospital, Crispin was already waiting at the door.

She got out of the car, her legs feeling weak when she saw him. “Is he okay?”

She thought back to her past life. After she and Lysander had parted ways, she had not seen him in a long time.

After that, she lost track of everything about him.

She only knew that something had happened to her father.

Something had happened to Natalie.

But she did not know the details of Lysander’s past.

Crispin took Elara to the inpatient department.

Aubrey and Felicity were both there.

When Felicity saw Elara coming, she said, “Elara.”

Elara asked, “Is he okay?”

“Still unconscious.” Was the reply.

Elara arrived at the door and saw Lysander lying in bed.

His head was wrapped in gauze, and his face was injured.

He lay there very quietly.

She remembered that before he left, he had told her that once he returned, they would have their wedding.

At that moment, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Elara had been just as happy.

But unexpectedly, when she saw him again, he was in this condition.

Her Lysander.

Seeing the man who had been with her for so many years in this state, Elara Kensington felt a deep ache in her heart, and her eyes began to burn with tears.

Felicity Hawthorne walked in and her gaze landed on Elara. She knew that Elara and Lysander had shared a strong bond. Now, facing such a situation, Elara must have been struggling to accept it.

Felicity approached Elara and said, “He’s just unconscious. He should recover. Don’t worry.”

Elara remained silent.

Felicity had initially planned to suggest that Elara go home, but in the end, she could not bring herself to do so.

Elara stayed in the ward, keeping Lysander company.

She looked at the man on the bed and suddenly felt that he was not trustworthy at all.

She had never been concerned about his work.

But she thought, at the very least, he could always send himself back safely, yet she never expected this.

‘Lysander, you’re a liar!‘ She was sobbing inside her.

The entire night, Elara stayed by the ward.

She remembered when she was injured before; it was just a small wound, yet this man kept watch over her every day.

And now, it was the other way around.

Seeing him like this, she realized how anxious he must have been back then.

Crispin and Aubrey came in from time to time to check on her.

They initially wanted to say something comforting, but in the end, they just remained silent.

In the morning, Evelyn came over.

Seeing Elara sitting by Lysander’s bed, she walked in and asked, “You didn’t sleep all night?”

Elara replied, “How can I sleep when I see him like this?”

Evelyn lowered her head and looked at Elara, saying, “You can’t be his wife like this.”

Elara raised her head, eyes reddened. ‘What did she mean by that?‘

Evelyn continued, “In their line of work, the other half is always on edge. You’ve been pampered too much by him. That’s why you never thought about these things. In truth, loving a man too much is an irrational behavior.”

Aubrey could not stand it any longer when he heard Evelyn speaking nonsense and spoke up, “Aunt!”

Evelyn glanced at Aubrey, seeing the accusation in his eyes. She smiled lightly and said, “You’re the best! You don’t have to face these things. In the future, you can be an idle young master without worrying about danger.”

Aubrey’s expression darkened. This was exactly how Evelyn was! No one in the family liked hearing her speak. She always said things bluntly.

This was how Zhao Evelyn spoke!

Not many people in the family liked to listen to her.

To put it bluntly,

Zhao Evelyn did not stay any longer. He said to Elara Kensington, “I’m going to work. You adjust your state and come back quickly! There are still a lot of things to do at the company!”
