Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 

After speaking, I started walking again. However, Jack’s furious voice soon rang out, “Stop right there! 

“Look at yourself! You left without a word and didn’t even greet anyone when you came home. Do you still consider me your father? What about Ivy?” 

I calmly looked at Jack’s stern face with a faint smile, “Whether I see you as my father depends on whether you see me as your daughter.” 

“Father,” I murmured the word, feeling that Jack didn’t deserve the title at all. 

“I’ve just spent five hours on a plane and am a bit tired. Father.” I deliberately emphasized the word. “May I go upstairs to rest now?” 

My mocking tone only made Jack angrier. He stormed over to me in a few steps and raised his hand to hit me, but Ivy quickly grabbed his hand to stop him. “Jack, what are you doing? She’s tired. Just let her rest. What’s the point of this?” 

She then turned to me and said softly and kindly. “Eve, don’t hold it against your dad. You haven’t called us in the past few days, so he’s been worried. 

“It’s okay now. Go upstairs and rest. I’ll call you when dinner’s ready.” 

Ivy’s words were well–crafted, but I didn’t argue with them. It wasn’t the time to tear off their masks yet. 

Inodded. “Alright.” Then, theaded upstairs and paused at the landing. 

Soon, I heard ivy’s voice. “What are you doing? Don’t you know she’s precious now? With her high exam scores, many people already have her on their list of potential daughters- in–law!” 

I wasn’t surprised at all Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited here to record everything they said on my phone. 

Back in my room, I took a shower and lay down to rest. That dream had left me feeling down. 

I turned to look out the window, wondering. In this second life, I’d seen through many people, but walking on eggshells made me cautious. I didn’t know if that was good or bad. I also wondered how long it would take to finally achieve the freedom and happiness 1 longed for 

As I was lost in thought, my phone chimed with a WhatsApp notification I opened the app to see a message from Liam 

His note read, “Reply to me, or I’ll blow up your phone with cats. 

1 hesitated for a few seconds, and another message came through. “Don’t even think about blocking me. 1have more than enough money to get a hundred numbers to bombard you” 

With that, I finally replied to him. 

Liam’s reply was almost instantaneous. “That’s more like it. Smart people know when to adapt.” 

Then, he sent a flurryed messages, but I couldn’t be bothered to respond. The noise from my phone wasghing me a headache, so I muted his messages. 

Finally, I had some peace. Then, Ivy knocked and came in. She put on a gentle, wise, elder’s demeanor and sat beside me. 

“Eve, are you still mad at your dad?” 

1 looked at her and wondered how that been fooled by this act of hers in my previous life. 

Back then, 1 had gotten drunk and ended up sleeping with Ethan. The next morning, when Ethan woke up and saw me beside him, he thought I had drugged him and used a vi trick to make him take responsibility for me. 

No matter how much I explained it, than didn’t believe me Everyone thought I was shameless and had impure intentions 

Only they held me and said, “It’s okay, Eve. You did nothing wrong. I know you’re not that kind of girl.” 

She then took me for a check up and bought me emergency contraception 

I thought she genominely cared about me But Later, I found out that the “drunkenness Lexperienced wasn’t drunkenness at all that been alingped.

The masterminds behind it all were Ivy and Jack. It was only then that I realized beneath Ivy’s gentle and intellectual facade lay a heart full of malice. 

I shook my head and waited for her to continue. 

“That’s good,” by said as she took my hand. “There shouldn’t be a grudge that lasts overnight between a father and a daughter, right?” 

I pulled my hand out of hers. “Just say what you need to say. There’s no need to beat around the bush.” 

Ivy looked slightly embarrassed and awkwardly clenched her fists before finally speaking. “You scored second in Yardville on the college entrance exam, Jack thinks you’ve brought him a lot of pride, so he wants to throw you a graduation banquet” 

I let out a cold laugh Abanquet? Or was it just an excuse to parade me around to see how much I was worth? 

“Fine.” I agreed and nodded. “But I want 50 thousand dollars. I’ll need to buy clothes and school supplies for the new semester. Is that okay?” 

If they wanted something from me, then I’d demand something else in return. 

by frowned briefly at the mention of so thousand dollars but quickly recovered. “Of course. Leven suggested to your father that we should buy you an apartment in Napel 

“We’re not comfortable with you living alone. At least someone would be there to take care of you if we get you a place and hire a housekeeper.” 

Taking care of me was just an excuse. They just wanted to keep an eye on me. 

“No need. 1 want to live on campus.” I stood up, unable to stand Ivy’s performance any longer. “When will you transfer the money?”
