4 I Will Never Regret It 4 I Will Never Regret It Evelyn can't believe what she read . 1 [ William Walters banished his daughter , Evelyn Walters , from the family ! ] [ What's the reason behind Evelyn Walters ' dramatic exit from the Walters legacy ? ] [ The beautiful heiress Evelyn Walters : now officially broke and abandoned . ] ' Dad ! You are so cruel ... How could you do this to your own daughter ? You exposed this to the media ? ' Evelyn's hand clenched tightly around the cell phone . Just five days after she'd told her father the path she chose , today marked the last day she would bear the name , Evelyn Walters . Not only that , but ... Her father had forced her to sign a stack of documents , papers that stripped her of all rights as a member of the Walters family . She'd even been coerced into signing an agreement that stated if she used any of the Walters ' money or belongings , she'd owe an outrageous sum in damages . 1 And if she couldn't pay it ? She'd be thrown in jail . And there is no way to defend herself . " Miss Taylor ... " Evelyn was yanked from her storm of angry thoughts at the sound of her new name . She could no longer use Walters . Now she went by her late mother's surname : Taylor . 1 " Yes ... ? " Evelyn responded softly . On the outside , she looked calm . Inside , she was crumbling . She fought hard to suppress every trace of rage , every drop of sorrow . She refused to give her father the satisfaction of knowing he'd broken her . Her eyes fixed on Alan Wang , her father's lawyer , as he entered the room and took a seat across from her . She couldn't believe how much he had changed . The same man who used to speak to her with warmth and respect now addressed her like a nobody , like someone too lowly to deserve his time . " You need to sign here , Miss Taylor ... " Alan Wang said coldly , pushing the papers and pen toward her before resting his back casually and staring at her with his pitiful yet OD.AC 713 41 Will Never Regret it arrogant expression . " Once you've signed everything , you'll need to return all the phone , the car , the apartment key . Everything You're only allowed to take this ID card ... and whatever belonged to your late mother . " 1 He pointed lazily to a small , worn - out suitcase in the corner . Evelyn didn't bother replying . She picked up the pen and signed every page . " Anything else ? " Alan Wang was clearly caught off guard by the calm glint in her eyes . He cleared his throat . " You can take this new ID ... Regarding the press announcement about you , your father said he'll have the news wiped within the week . Also ... he made it clear ... you're no longer welcome in this city ." 1 " I know . I'll excuse myself now , Mr. Wang , Evelyn said , her voice steady . She left everything on the table , stood up , grabbed the old suitcase , and walked out of the room . By the time Evelyn came out of the room , she saw Alicia Green , her stepmother , and Stella , her little sister , standing there , waiting for her . They looked awful ; eyes swollen and red , clear signs they'd been crying for her . Even though she despised her father with every fiber of her being , Evelyn's feelings for Alicia and Stella had never changed . She was genuinely grateful to have Alicia as her stepmother . The woman had always been kind and gentle with her , nothing like the cold , cruel stepmothers she'd seen in other families . 2 " My dear Eve ... " Alicia's voice trembled . She couldn't hold back her sobs as she wrapped Evelyn in a tight embrace , crying openly . I'm so sorry I couldn't help you ... I tried to convince your father ... I really did ... I hate him for this ... " " Alice ... thank you for everything you've done for me . But please , don't hate him . This is the path I've chosen ... " Evelyn whispered , her voice steady but her heart cracking . She smiled through the pain at Stella , who was crying silently behind Alicia . As soon as Alicia let her go , Stella rushed forward and threw herself into Evelyn's arms . " Stop crying . I'm not dead yet ," Evelyn said , trying to sound playful , loosening her embrace just a little . She cupped Stella's face in her hands , smiling faintly as she wiped away her tears . Looking deeply into her sister's eyes , she said softly , " Little sis , you have to study hard , okay ? Promise me you'll become a brilliant doctor , one of the best in this country " " Sis ... " Stella whispered through her tears , " I don't want to study hard ... I already told Dad I won't do it if he still kicks you out of the family ." 08.450 714 < 4 I Will Never Regret It Evelyn froze for a moment , then let out a bittersweet chuckle and gently pinched her sister's cheek . " Silly girl , don't say that . You have to study hard and become a great doctor . Promise me , okay ? " " Hmm ... " Stella nodded , tears still streaming down her face . " All right . I need to go now , " Evelyn said . " He'll be back any minute , and if he sees me here , he'll explode . " Alicia's face stiffens as she nods to Evelyn before looking at her daughter . " Stella , let your sister go now , " Alicia urged , worry clouding her voice . She knew what her husband was capable of , his temper , his madness . She feared for Evelyn's safety . Sis , you need to stay healthy , " Stella whispered , still holding her hand tightly . " Promise me , never forget about me ... " she said before loosening her grip and letting go of Evelyn's hand . Evelyn feels her heart torn . She didn't want this to happen . Being separated from Alicia and Stella is not what she wanted . But she also didn't want to give up the child growing inside her . This is the best choice ; she will never regret it . " Till we meet again , Alice ... Stella ... " For the last time , Evelyn smiled at them both . She didn't know if she'd ever get to see them again , but she knew , no matter what , she would never forget their love or kindness . As the taxi pulled away from the front yard , Evelyn dared one last look at the home she'd been forced to leave behind . The place that once meant comfort , love , and family is now nothing but a memory soaked in betrayal . Just as the vehicle passed the main gate , she saw it . Her father's car . It was approaching from a distance , sleek and black , as cold and imposing as the man inside it . Evelyn's breath caught in her throat . The car slowed as it neared . Her heart pounded with a desperate hope she didn't want to admit , that maybe , just maybe , he'd look up . That he'd see her . That he'd change his mind . But he didn't . Through the tinted window , she saw William Walters seated in the back row , stone - faced and still . His eyes were fixed ahead , not even flicking toward the taxi passing him by as if she didn't exist . As if she had never existed . Evelyn's lips trembled . She turned her head quickly , pressing it against the cool glass of the window , shielding her face from the driver . Silent tears rolled down her cheeks . The ache in her chest bloomed into something bigger , something more painful ; it's grief , rage , heartbreak all tangled together . 08:46 3/4 < 4 I Will Never Regret It ' William Walters ... I admit that you have successfully ruined my future . But if you think you have destroyed me , you are wrong ! I will never give up on my life . Not now . Not ever . She placed a hand protectively over her stomach , her fingers trembling but firm . ' One day ... You will regret everything you've done to me . And to my child .' The taxi moved forward , carrying her away from the house , the pain , and the man who'd disowned her . Comment 17 Post your first comment !
