Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 564

Yvonne had genuinely regained her strength. However, the moment she managed to stand, Evan instinctively rushed to her side, a hint of concern lingering in his eyes as he held onto her arm.

"Look, Evan!" she exclaimed with pride, eager to show off her progress. She then playfully pressed, "Now, tell me everything. Come on!"

Evan looked at his sister, and for the first time, he began to open up about his relationship with Dawn. "I got to know Dawn because of Rose."

Yvonne knew that Dawn and Rose were acquainted, but she hadn't realized that her brother's connection to Dawn had also begun because of Rose.

Upon seeing the surprise on her face, Evan gestured for her for to sit and continued his tale.

"I've been fond of Rose for a long time. I knew about her design talent, so I used my position as K&K's design director to ask for her help with creating dresses. In reality, I had selfish motives—I wanted to create opportunities to be around her.

"Despite knowing she was engaged to Nixon, I couldn't fight my feelings. When I heard they had broken off their engagement, I returned to Aquastead immediately. I thought my chance had finally come. Alas, it was already too late."

Yvonne understood that there was already another man in Rose's life by then.

Evan continued, "I later found out that Nixon had set up Rose that night, using one of her former scholarship students as leverage. That student was Dawn."

He paused, the memory clearly weighing on him. "I had no real connection with Dawn back then, but that night... I got drunk."

He had no memory of what happened after that, but in the morning, he woke up to the sound of Dawn's tearful voice. That was when he knew he had made a terrible mistake.

"Dawn said it was an accident and that she wouldn't hold it against me, but..." Evan let out a bitter laugh.

Yvonne understood her brother well. Even if Dawn had truly forgiven him, Evan wouldn't be able to let go of the guilt. He was the type of person who would take responsibility, and that was precisely what he did.

"She got pregnant that very night, and I only discovered this by accident. After that, I proposed to her. I thought that I would marry her, settle down, and we would just live out our lives together."

As Evan spoke, his tone remained calm, but Yvonne could sense the profound sadness hidden within his words.

Yvonne recalled that Evan had rarely contacted her during that time. "Could he be avoiding something?" she wondered.

Evan's mention of the accidental discovery stirred an odd feeling in her, and a question surfaced in her mind. "Was it truly an accidental discovery? Or did someone intentionally lead him to it?"

Yvonne remained silent, but soon Evan provided the answer.

"Later, Dawn had a miscarriage. We went back to Aquastead to get married, but I uncovered the truth during that trip.

"It turns out that I didn't do anything that night. The child she was carrying wasn't even mine..." Evan's lips curled into a bitter smile as if he saw himself as nothing more than a joke.

It was because of this that he missed the opportunity to pursue Rose. Not only that…

He hesitated for a moment before revealing the truth he hadn't told Rose that day. "Rose was on Ebott Road the night of her car accident because of Dawn. Dawn claimed she ended up there after an argument with me.

"Distressed, she had hopped into a cab that mistakenly took her to Ebott Road. But how could it have been a mere coincidence? I didn't want to think about it back then... or maybe I was just too scared to."

Upon hearing this, realization struck Yvonne. "Rosie's accident..."

A surge of anger swelled within her. Initially, she had believed that Dawn was simply someone she wasn't close to yet, and with time, they would warm up to each other. But now she realized that Dawn had never had good intentions.

"So, you and Dawn..." Yvonne already knew the answer. There was no way Evan would marry Dawn after learning the truth.

Sure enough, Evan said, "We went through with the marriage registration and ceremony, but now... we're in the process of getting divorced. Regardless, I'll make sure she's financially secure for the rest of her life."

However, that was all he could do.

As Evan shared his story, a weight seemed to lift off his shoulders, and Yvonne could feel his relief.
