Chapter 621 Evelyn Crippled âI am Alana. If you must know the reason, then look at this.â Alana raised her left hand. âYou can see that I am missing two fingers.â
Evelyn gasped again. âYouâre sayingâ¦â
âYes, that b*tch did this to me.â Alana gritted her teeth. âAnd Iâll make her pay for that.â
âCount me in,â said Evelyn. âIâm a Murphy. No one beats me up and gets away with it.â
âYou underestimate that woman,â said Alana. âSheâs trained in the art of combat. She can take on five men easily, donât you know that?â
âI donât,â said Evelyn. âIâd have come up with a better plan otherwise. I thought Morgan couldâve done it, and then the scandal would break out. Not even Abel can shut the public up. For his familyâs reputation, he must cancel the wedding, and then I can have my revenge. I did not expect her to still be able to fight after she got drugged.â
âYou hate her because you like Abel, donât you?â
âLike him?â Evelyn said honestly, âIâm head over heels for him. All it took was one glance, and I fell for him. I shouldâve used my connections to make him marry me, but I didnât. And that b*tch slid in.â
Alana sneered. âAh, so youâre walking the same path I did.â
âWhat?â Evelyn was shocked. âYou like him too?â
âThatâs not even enough to describe my feelings for him. I wouldâve been his wife if not for Emmeline.â
âSo she won.â
âThat goes for you too, you know.â Alana chortled.
âNot yet,â said Evelyn. âI havenât lost. Not when the dust hasnât settled.â
âGood luck.â Alana sneered. âI just hope you wonât end up like me.â
Evelyn gasped. She would rather not have her fingers cut off. It would be painful.
âBe careful,â said Alana coldly. âNext time you want to sabotage her, make sure your plan is foolproof.
One opening is enough for her to bring you down.â
âI know.â Evelyn sniffled. âBut they found out I did it. Theyâre gonna go after my family. And I know my familyâs going to kill me.â
âYouâre a fool,â Alana scoffed.
âYou have to help me, Ms. Lane.â Evelyn held Alanaâs arm and pleaded, âPlease. Sheâs our mutual enemy.â
âWeâll see about that,â said Alana. âNow lie down. Iâll get you some ointment. You look like a swollen tomato.â
Evelyn touched her burning cheeks and muttered, âThank you.â
Alana left, and Evelyn tried to get herself some water, but she couldnât move an inch of her body. She thought it must be the aftermath of that battle, but she didnât feel any broken bones. Once again, she tried to push herself up, but she lost feeling of her body from the waist down. This is wrong. I could still walk when Alana held me. Whatâs going on?
And then she screamed. âIâm paralyzed!â
Hearing the scream, Alana came back. âWhat happened?â
âI-Iâm paralyzed from the waist down.â Evelyn cried. âI canât even move!â
âWhat?â Alana frowned. âThat slam shouldnât even be powerful enough to do this.â
âBut it did! How else did it happen?â Evelyn screamed, âDamn you, Emmeline! Iâll kill you!â
Someone kicked the door open, and in came a brooding silhouette. It was none other than Adam.
âM-Master?â Alana panicked.
âAdam?â Evelyn gasped. âWhy are you here?â
