How did she come up with such a disgusting nickname in her previous life?
After quickly hunging up the call, Evelyn changed "Dear William Brother" to "Jerk" in her contacts. She felt much better after doing so.
The name triggered many memories for her.
William was the illegitimate son adopted by The Martinez family, born to a maid. The old master of The Martinez family favored him.
To stand out from the crowd, he used every means to gain power and influence.
In her previous life, Evelyn's grandmother left her over half of the family's wealth and shares before passing away. Most of it was swindled away by William.
Evelyn sighed helplessly. She was still a step too late; those shares and money were already in William's hands now.
How could she just give her things away to that jerk?
Touching the key hanging around her neck, Evelyn fell into contemplation.
The people she didn't have a chance to utilize in her previous life should come in handy in this life. It was a trump card left by her grandmother-a research institute.
She needed a computer to contact them.
Thinking it over, she realized that Henry's study was the only place in the house with a computer. The other computers were smashed in her fits of anger.
Evelyn finished the last bite of her bread and went to Henry's study to send an email to the research institute.

David drove the car into The Wilson Group's underground garage
"Boss, Madam's reaction just now was a bit strange. It seems like she doesn't really want William to get that piece of land."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the car instantly dropped to freezing.
Henry's expression darkened.
A woman who could give up her life for that man, would she not want him to get the land?
What was the affectionate display she showed him yesterday for if not for this?
David wanted to explain for Evelyn once more but was interrupted when his phone suddenly rang.
Answering the call, David's expression turned extremely unpleasant, and he looked apprehensively at Henry.
"Boss, The butler said Madam entered the study."
The contract for the sale of that piece of land was still in there.
From the moment he uttered those words, the atmosphere inside the car seemed to freeze. He must have been out of his mind to speak up for Evelyn just now.
Henry's face remained expressionless... Then his phone has received a message. Seeing Evelyn's name on the screen.
David tensed, he had already braced himself for Henry's wrath, but he suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere within the car.
If he wasn't mistaken, it seemed like his Boss is smiling?
David couldn't help but be curious about what Evelyn said to pacify Boss in just two messages.
Truly, only two messages.
The first was a photo of the land sale contract.
The second was a puckered-lip emoji with the message: "You don't keep such important things properly. What if someone steals them? How are you going to afford me then? "
She even added a drooling 'eating' emoji, looking adorable.
Henry stared fixedly at the words, even though he knew it might be one of Evelyn's tricks. Nevertheless, it warmed his heart.
Quickly responding with a message, Henry continued to stare at the screen, his expression akin to a little dog waiting for its owner's praise.
David could hardly bear; it seemed like his boss… was in love again!

In the study, Evelyn, who had been sitting anxiously, received a message on her phone.
Henry said, "I can afford you"
These few words in Evelyn's eyes shone brighter than any diamond.
Feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, she took the opportunity to ask, "It's too boring at home. Can I read books and use the computer in the study?"
Unsurprisingly, Henry agreed, even though the study still contained confidential documents that could topple The Wilson Group.
They exchanged a few more words, and Evelyn sent a blowing-kiss emoji before stating that she was going to read.
Henry leisurely put away his phone.
The meeting was already fifteen minutes late, but David didn't dare to rush him.
Evelyn grabbed two books she found interesting and headed back to her bedroom. Before she could even open them, her phone rang.
The screen displayed 'Dad,' making Evelyn's heart turn cold.
