Chapter 1766
Everett opened his eyes in exhaustion. In the dark, they were cold and emotionless. "Okay."
Dick looked at Everett's eyes from the rear-view mirror, searching for any emotions Everett had for Cam, who was
Everett's close friend for 7 years. However, there was nothing in Everett's eyes. The way it looked, he did not miss
Cam at all. It was as if the man who had shouldered all the blame for him was nothing but an acquaintance to him.
Dick issued a mental sigh at that thought. He initially thought that Everett would still be kind to his friends, even
though he was a cold, calculating person. But now, Dick felt like he had never known Everett as a person.
Everett rolled the window down, feeling more energetic now. "I didn’t expect that Jared would be able to trace me.
Interesting."
Everett did not feel like he had failed. Instead, he began smirking in intrigue.
"Jared sure is something," he said.
It seemed like he could not hide anymore.
Dick said, "Everett, you've been holding back for so long. I'm worried that you won't be able to hide after going
against Jared."
Everett smiled. "There's no need for that anymore. No one in my family can hold me back anymore."
Back then, Damien was still useful to him, and that was why he still respected and committed to favors for him.
However, Damien had no place in the family anymore, and thus, the only person Everett was left to fight for was
himself.
"That's good. I don't want to see you suffering anymore, either." Dick tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
He had waited for this day for too long.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was then that Everett smiled. "I don't have to suffer, but our enemies are Jared and Nicole. It's not easy to go up
against those two." "I know. But we're not Jared's only enemy..." Dick said mockingly as he handed Everett a file.
"I heard Harvey tweaked the contract between them, and Jared is not on good terms with him... Maybe this is our
chance." "Oh? Seems like we have an accomplice." Everett chuckled and opened the file.
His smile turned brighter after looking at Harvey's picture.
"I'm very impressed with this guy," he said, as Harvey was similar to him in some respects.
Though many were not able to see through Harvey's facade, like-minded people like Everett could see through
everything...
"Perhaps we can work together," Dick suggested.
Everett then wore a domineering look. "We can consider that. Look into Harvey's history for me. Find something
nasty that's useful for me."
Dick immediately knew what he meant, after which he said, "Got it."
Everett always knew how to work with someone, and that was to have a stranglehold on their dirty laundry. That
way, the other party would not object. Then, Everett browsed through Harvey's information which was obviously
tweaked by himself, so it had no issues in it.
Soon after, their car arrived at Damien's house.
"We're here, Everett." Dick halted the car.
"Okay." Everett nodded and waited for Dick to open the door for him before getting down.
Dick then slammed the door shut once Everett had gotten down.
But from that slam, Dick noticed that his car had a weird ringing sound emanating from within.
"Watch out!!!" He immediately lunged forward and held Everett down.
Boom!!!
A surge of flames burst forth, and with it, a loud bang whereupon the temperatures rose abruptly.
Dick's back was hurting badly, but he did not let Everett go. The side of Everett's face could feel the burning heat as
well, but before he could react, he was already flying across the street with Dick holding onto him. And with a bang,
his back slammed onto the ground with great impact. Due to the loud explosion, he could not hear anything either.
He felt dizzy, and all he could see were flames dancing about.
Damien's family immediately rushed out after hearing such a loud commotion, but all they could see was Everett
being held down by his assistant.
"Everett! What happened?!" Damien rushed over with the butler.
The butler quickly moved Dick away after seeing that he was laying atop Everett.
"Mr. Cruz?" Dick had already passed out, and the back of his shirt was scorched, so much so that his flesh could be
seen.
Damien helped Everett up and allowed him to lean on him. "Everett! Are you okay?!"
Damien had never cared about Everett this much before, and therefore, Everett felt warm in his embrace.
He attempted to get a hold of himself while battling to stifle the swirling images in his head. "Dad... I'm fine..."
He was still alive, but his ears were ringing, his vision was unstable, and he was nauseous.
"Mr. Damien, Mr. Everett's face has been wounded. Send him to the hospital!" The butler quickly told Damien upon
noticing Damien's face.
"Call an ambulance!" Damien yelled at the staff, who quickly phoned the hospital.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMiley was taking care of Chloe in the hospital, and Damien was the only one at home, so he got into the ambulance
with Everett.
After ten minutes or so, Everett was finally sent to the hospital for immediate medical attention. Damien could
finally feel relieved.
The doctor then inspected him and said, "He has a minor concussion.
Mostly minor injuries, but his face has been severely burned."
Then, the doctor quickly treated him, which left him grinding his teeth in pain.
In the midst of it all, his heart was filled with hatred. 'F*ck... My face!'
He would definitely not let the person who injured him off the hook.
When the doctor was done treating Everett's wounds, Damien asked," Everett, what happened? Why would your
car explode?"
Everett looked at Damien and feigned innocence. ‘I think... It's Jared Johnston." "Jared?" Damien frowned. "What do
you mean? Are you saying that he did something to your car? Why?" 'Everett and Jared did not have beef with one
other, so why would Jared do this to him?'
Seeing this, Everett continued his act. "I wanted to get the fire crest for you... So, I did something to Nicole's car...
This is probably Jared's way of exacting revenge." "What?!" Damien was shocked. "You did something to Nicole?
When was this? Why don't I know about this?"
Everett maintained his look of innocence. "I didn't want to drag you down, so I did it myself. Getting caught was not
something I had seen coming."
Damien's gaze immediately turned cold. "Still, he can't do this to you!
Nicole just paralyzed my daughter, and Jared wants to kill my son now?!"
Even if he wanted to maintain his tolerance and come up with a better plan, his daughter was paralyzed and his son
had almost died. With that in mind, Damien was not able to hold his anger back anymore.
