Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Should Get Engaged_1

“Evidence? I am the evidence,” Evelyn Willard smiled as she spoke to him, “I saw everything. That day I happened to go to her place because I wanted to borrow some money, but she wasn’t home, so I waited in the hallway. And guess what I saw?”

Evelyn said, “I saw her coming out of the elevator with several men, two of whom were carrying you, unconscious. After they carried you inside, Jade gave them a lot of money and told them to leave Clearwater City immediately and never come back—Mr. Summers, do you still not understand?”

Nathaniel Summers clenched his fists tightly, his brain buzzing as if struck by a heavy blow.

How could he not understand?!

That day, he and Jade Carlson had been attacked by thugs; he had been knocked out and did not wake up until midnight.

At the time, he found it strange. Jade Carlson, such a frail woman, how could she move him?

Later, Jade fed him half a glass of water, and he drifted off into a hazy sleep again. When he awoke for the second time, he was already in the hospital…

There was Jade Carlson, sitting in front of the hospital bed, her face streaked with tears, crying and saying, “What should we do? Nathaniel, the doctor said… said you were also injured down there, I dared not tell Sister Suzanne, it’s all my fault, you were hurt trying to save me…”

His entanglement with Jade Carlson began that day.

The incident was a blow to his masculinity and he found it unbearable. He did not want Suzanne Saunders to know, so he asked Jade to keep it a secret.

Fortunately, the doctor said the injury wasn’t serious.

He was full of hope and underwent treatment for two months, but the outcome was disappointing. The doctor said his body was indeed fine, but the reason he still could not achieve a normal erection might be due to the trauma from the assault. He was advised to see a psychiatrist.

Jade said, “Nathaniel, I know a psychiatrist who might be able to help you!”

Nathaniel had never doubted Jade.

He thought that Jade was acting out of guilt, desperately trying to make amends, or perhaps she had a vague affection for him, thus willingly offering herself.

The psychiatrist asked him to imagine Jade as his wife, to help him heal, and after only a moment’s hesitation, he agreed.

He was too desperate to get better.

It was because of his desperation that he accepted Jade’s advances and overlooked the doubts in his mind.

“Was the psychiatrist bought off by Jade Carlson too?” Nathaniel’s voice was suppressed, low and hoarse.

“You can go and check,” Evelyn’s smile remained unchanged, “I believe you’ll find something interesting.”

Nathaniel sneered and asked her, “Are you really her mother? Just based on what you’ve said, it’s enough for me to send her to prison!”

“Send her to prison?” Evelyn seemed to hear something extremely amusing, unable to help but chuckle, “Mr. Summers, you’re mistaken. Someone else masterminded this, my daughter doesn’t have the guts for it, she’s just a victim too!”

Nathaniel’s breathing became heavy, each inhalation seeming to scorch his innards.

He pulled out a bank card from his wallet and threw it in front of Evelyn, word by word he said, “Just tell me who is behind this, and all the money here is yours!”

In Evelyn’s eyes, a greedy gleam flickered, yet she did not reach for the card for a long time.

Nathaniel thought Evelyn considered it too little, and his disdain for the mother and daughter grew even stronger.

At that moment, Evelyn said, “Right now, the only person who knows the truth is Jade, Mr. Summers. If you really want to know who’s harming you, you should be nicer to Jade, give her some hope. She’ll naturally tell you everything. You know, sometimes women can be very foolish.”

“What exactly do you want me to do?” Nathaniel stared at her coldly.

Evelyn said, “Mr. Summers, you should get engaged to Jade.”
