Chapter 441
Nora Davis was silent after she finished speaking.
She thought there was nothing to be changed, so she said, "Let her do it for now."
John Davis did not understand her, but Nora Davis always reassured him. It was all her plan, but she did not say a word about it. She just let him contact Evelyn Davis. Evelyn Davis was in the garden when she received a call from John Davis. She was both surprised and scared.
"What's the matter?" she forced to hold her composure while asking in a deep voice.
"I'll send someone to pick you up. I'll explain everything to you later." said John Davis. He hung up directly, leaving her worried.
He wanted her to leave this time, didn't he?
She bit her lips while thinking.
When she thought of leaving Lucas Hawk, her heart was hurting as if a knife cut it open. She was unable to breathe because of the pain.
She did not want to leave at all, but, how could reality let her to stay?
She stayed in the garden until the people sent by Joh Davis arrived. After that, she went back to her room, changed her clothes, and left. Mo Li watched her leave and tailed her car from behind.
It was not that she wanted to follow the woman. It was her sir's order that couldn't be ignored.
She knew that if anything happened to that woman, he would never spare her.
They arrived at the Davis' one after another.
Evelyn Davis was still Nora of the Davis family now. So, John Davis came to the door to greet her in person.
He thought that he should do everything for the play, even if the play was about to end.
"Nora is back. Let me take a look. You lose a lot of weight!"
John Davis was playing a loving father. He looked up and down on his daughter while showing a sad look.
Evelyn Davis had no idea how to react. She still had mixed feelings when she was faced with his affectation.
She did not want to react at John Davis and felt disgusted. She acted coquettishly and shifted the topic, "Is the family meal ready? I'm hungry!" She walked straight to the dining room.
John Davis saw that she didn't want to cooperate with him at all. His eyes flashed with gloom. He then walked after her.
"We have done preparing it. We're waiting for you to come to start the meal."
Mo Li listened to John Davis' sweet words. Then, she glanced at the two people. The atmosphere was warm, but, somehow felt weird at the same time. She subconsciously followed them, but someone stopped her.
She didn't say anything. She just watched at the disappearing sight of Evelyn Davis and followed the servant to the side hall of the house.
She didn't know that Evelyn Davis didn't go the dining room at all.
They went directly to John Davis' study.
"Alright. Why do you want me to come here?"
She sat at the sofa. She was afraid to hear something she didn't want to hear.
She was unsure whether John Davis was aware of the strange tone in her voice or not. He just looked at Evelyn Davis. He didn't respond immediately.
Evelyn Davis was even more worried now.
She pursed her lips. Exactly when she was about to say something, John Davis started to talk.
"There's something you need to do this time."
When Evelyn Davis found out that she was not kicked out, she felt relieved, though particularly.
She knew that his demand was never a good thing.
"What do you want me to do?" she frowned and asked.
John Davis did not waste his time. He opened the window and watched the mountainous scenery outside, "Nora will come back in the next few months. In order to make Nora take over your place smoothly, you need to make some changes." When Evelyn Davis heard that Nora Davis was about to go back, her heart thumped really hard.
"First, you must be as strict as Nora. Second, you must cut contact with people around you who are not on the same level. Third, Nora shouldn't be lowly designer. If Lucas Hawk won't give you a raise, then quit your job!" John Davis' words made her pale.
John Davis warned her, "These things must be done. If any accident happen later, you and your mother won't be safe."
Evelyn Davis shuddered. She forced herself to suppress those ugly thoughts.
She could feel that his threat was no joke.
John Davis wouldn't spare her and her mother if something bad happened later.
She couldn't put her mother at risk.
"I see." she licked her dry lips and replied in a deep voice.
John Davis said nothing.
After that, they walked to the dining room for dinner.
Evelyn Davis lost her appetite.
Her mind was full of John Davis's threat.
Nora Davis would be back in a few months.
That meant she would be replaced soon and she would have to leave the Hawk's family and Lucas Hawk, too.
Her heart was torn apart. The pain it caused made her shiver.
John Davis saw through her difference.
He knew that Evelyn Davis must had loved Lucas Hawk
He warned her once again, "Remember, Evelyn, don't wish on something that's not yours."
Evelyn Davis raised her head and saw John Davis's cold stare.
She wriggled her lips. She wanted to say something but nothing came out.
None of this belonged to her since the beginning.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Don't worry. I never thought about that."
She tugged the corner of mouth while trying to suppress the uncomfortable feelings in her heart.
"That's good." John Davis snorted.
They had their dinner in silence.
Once the dinner was done, Evelyn Davis couldn't wait to leave.
"Enjoy your last time there. Don't trouble Nora and remember to finish what I said."
John Davis sent her away. He reminded her again before she left.
Evelyn Davis pursed her lips. She didn't say a word. After she left the living room, she got inside her car directly.
John Davis stood by the doorway and watched her leave.
Mo Li was aware that something was different about today.
When she arrived home, her mood was a mess.
Mo Li turned her head to Evelyn Davis and found that she was sitting in the back seat with empty eyes, staring outside the car. What did they talk about? Why was she like this now?
Mo Li wondered quietly. She didn't understand a thing. She could only place her uncertainty inside her heart.
Lucas Hawk came back from work that night.
Evelyn Davis would always come out to meet him every time he came back, but this time, she didn't. He was not used to it. "Where's madam?" he asked the housekeeper.
"Madam is in the bedroom." replied the housekeeper.
Lucas Hawk nodded and walked toward the bedroom, "I'm back."
Evelyn Davis came back to her senses when she heard that, but her body turned stiff.
