The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 48

Hearing about Charlie's death, Evelyn's pupils shrank sharply. Her eyes reddened with emotion. Her hand, clutching a kitchen knife, tightened nervously a bit more.

She struggled to suppress the emotions welling up inside her, trying not to lose control. "What deal?"

"Give me a million dollars, and I'll tell you who deliberately took your daughter's organ transplant, leading her to die on the operating table."

"Alright." Evelyn agreed without hesitation.

Then, unable to wait, she asked, "Who is it?"

"Ms. Evelyn, you're trying to get something for nothing here!"

The man scoffed, pulling out a bank card and handing it to Evelyn. "Once the million is in the account, I'll tell you immediately."

Evelyn bit her lip. "I don't have a million dollars right now, but if you tell me who it is, I promise I'll get the money to you."

"Who believes in promises these days." John sneered and turned to leave.

Evelyn grabbed him. "Give me some time. I'll get it for you."

"You have two days. I won't wait any longer!"

John took Evelyn's phone and left.

...

Two days flew by in an instant.

Evelyn knew he wasn't being difficult on purpose. It was his job.

She was about to try convincing him further. Suddenly, the waiter greeted someone respectfully behind her. "Mr. Jenkins."

Evelyn instinctively turned around, only to see Dahlia wearing a brand-new haute couture dress, arriving in the rain with Charles. Aiden was half a step behind, holding an umbrella for them.

Charles saw Evelyn and frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Realizing that Charles knew Evelyn, the waiter immediately became anxious and said to Charles, "Mr. Jenkins, I apologize. I didn't know this lady was your friend. I'll let her in right away."

"No." Charles interrupted in a deep voice, and as he walked in, he coldly left instructions, "I don't want to see her inside."
