Chapter 404
chapter' to the history of 'abusing' assistants."
Layla chuckled.
At that moment, Brian walked past her expressionlessly. "The documents."
Layla quickly suppressed her smile and followed his steps. "Coming."
The representatives from both sides took their seats, ready to sign the contract.
"What are you doing here? Get out!" The secretary's low shout interrupted the meeting.
Layla looked up, and the woman from yesterday rushed in.
How did she manage to come here and cause a scene?
Layla couldn't stop her. She saw the woman suddenly pull out a knife, causing everyone to scatter. But she held the knife to her own neck, disheveled, with a terrifying look in her eyes, and said in a threatening tone, "Brian, break up with her now, or I'll die in front of you."
"You... You've misunderstood... Miss Adkins is Mr. Evans' assistant..." Mr. Brooks stammered.
"No, they are together. He broke up with me because of this woman." the woman's angry gaze swept over Layla as if she wanted them both to perish together.
Brian stood up, his cold eyes showing a hint of hostility. "Evelyn, this is not the place for your antics, leave!"
"You... break up with her," she urged.
"Get out!" Brian commanded again.
Evelyn's lips trembled and tears quickly filled her eyes. "I won't leave unless you break up with her."
While everyone else was in a panic, Brian remained unmoved.
Evelyn's hand holding the knife trembled, biting her lip. "You'd rather have me die in front of you than break up with her? Do you think I dare not? If you don't want me, I'd rather die... dying would be a relief. Brian, you will regret this."
"Then do as you please!" Brian said calmly, sitting back down without looking at her again.
"Don't, please don't die in our company!" Mr. Brooks nervously shouted, "Mr. Evans, this..."
Seeing Brian ignoring her, Layla quickly advised. "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk after the signing."
"Shut up! Shameless home-wrecker. It's because of you that Brian Evans broke up with me. It's all your fault... You have no idea how much I love him. If he doesn't come back to me, I'd rather die. I won't let you off the hook, I'll curse you forever," Evelyn shouted.
Evelyn's eyes were full of resentment and anger, disregarding everything. "Brian, I've had four abortions. The doctor said I can't get pregnant anymore... No man would want me. I can never be a mother in my lifetime..." as she spoke, Evelyn choked up. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this miserable state. How can you bear to abandon me?"
"Brian... I love you... I've only ever loved you..." she added. "You've tortured me to the point where I'm not like a normal person. Are you indifferent to that?"
Evelyn sobbed. "You can't treat me like this... you're too cruel..."
Although Evelyn's actions were terrifying, they also evoked sympathy, especially the fact that she had undergone four abortions and couldn't conceive, which was like losing a life for a woman.
Several female employees looked at Brian, thinking he was a bad man.
No matter how attractive a man may be on the outside, abandoning a girlfriend who had gone through four abortions, he deserved to be struck by lightning!
Brian remained indifferent throughout the ordeal.
Evelyn finally gave up, closed her eyes, and wept. "I hate you!" With a determined heart, she drew an arc with her hand...
Brian suddenly looked up and rushed forward along with Layla to grab the knife. Layla was closer and managed to snatch the knife from Evelyn, but accidentally got scratched in the process.
Security subdued Evelyn and escorted her out.
