Chapter 497 X 39% +5 "Mom, please don't scare me.” His voice trembled. “Mom, get up. I won't look for revenge; I will cwith you. We can get away from here." But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift her.

"This bag has the money I saved for you. Take it, find a place where no one knows you, and live well. Please promise never to cback here," Evelyn urged him. "You can't fight the Warren family; I can't stand to see you perish." Even in her last moments, Evelyn pleaded with her son to run away. Ethan knelt in the alley, holding Evelyn's body, staring into her wide-open eyes until her very last breath.

In a moment of madness, he declared, “Don't worry, Mom, I will face them. I will make sure to avenge you." At the entrance of the alley, Quinlee watched from her car, her heart racing as she saw Ethan holding Evelyn's body. His face was filled with despair and rage, and a few fake tears fell from her eyes.

After wiping them, a smirk of satisfaction appeared on her lips.

Surprised by Alex's sudden act, Quinlee quickly reacted. She acknowledged her secret role in getting Ethan released early and eased Patrick and Winnie's doubts.

At first, she worried that Ethan might be too scared to seek revenge, but now it seemed her fears were unfounded. Feeling relieved, Quinlee left, not even bothering to say a final goodbye to Evelyn.

From that moment on, no one but her would ever know her true identity. She planned to use Ethan's anger to destroy the happiness of everyone else, considering it the Owens family's compensation for having mistakenly brought her hyears ago.

As she noticed several people rushing out from a black sedan, Quinlee felt a twinge of fear. She honked the horn deliberately to alert Ethan and quickly left the scene.

Twenty minutes later, Barry called Alex to update him on the night's events. "Mr. Warren, Evelyn has been confirmed dead. Ethan has escaped capture, but we have provided evidence to the police showing that he accidentally killed his own mom." Late at night, a black Maybach parked outside the Thompson residence. Leaning against the car door, Alex chain-smoked cigarettes, pulling out his spare phone to call Ellie multiple times, only to hang up each time.

She didn't want to see him, talk to him, or even hear his voice. She was determined to erase him from her life forever. The thought of him suffering in the future pierced Alex, his heart in anguish, bleeding painfully.

The next morning, Aaron woke to find a message from Alex: [Evelyn passed away last night.] At breakfast, Aaron shared the news with the family. Ellie looked at Aaron. "How do you know this, Aaron?" Aaron replied, "Alex textedat four ten this morning." Ellie's forehead creased slightly, and she fell silent. She hadn't expected that even after releasing Ethan, Alex wouldn't stop. Her thoughts raced throughout the morning. After lunch, Ellie answered Lacey's call and went out.

By three in the afternoon, while Alex was in a meeting, Barry called urgently, "Mr. Warren, Ms. Thompson is in the hospital."

"Cancel the meeting." Alex snatched his phone and left the conference room. He hurried to the hospital where Ellie had already been moved to an observation room.

Standing outside the window, he looked at Ellie, whose neck was m wrapped in white gauze, his eyes darkened with anger.

Barry said, "At the women's clothing counter of the downtown plaza, Ms. Thompson nearly had her throat slit." 1/2 21:54 Sun, 23 Feb NN.

Chapter 497 As he watched Alex's expression darken, Barry could only whisper, his voice becoming a faint murmur.
