Chapter 609 Have a Showdown
Nora left the corporate building, her eyebrows furrowed.
She felt she should trust Aaron, but there was a heavy feeling in her chest, making her hard to breathe.
In this season of fluctuating temperatures, the warm sun in the sky dispersed the chill on Nora's body.
She raised her eyes, squinting at the bright sunlight, lost in thought.
Suddenly, she began to doubt herself, wondering if she was really not cut out for a relationship.
The human heart was the most complex and also the most prone to change.
Aaron suddenly changed, which Nora found hard to accept.
Was Nora in love with Aaron for who he truly was, or did she just enjoy the sensation of his complete devotion to her?
Perhaps the side of Aaron he was showing now was his true nature.
Being so suspicious like this and unable to tolerate Aaron's changes was not good for either of them.
At that moment, Nora's phone rang. It was Evella calling.
Nora snapped out of her thoughts and answered the call, "Evella."
"Nora, where are you? Can you come to Lindwood University right away?" Evella's voice sounded urgent over the phone.
Nora asked quickly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Howard and my godfather are going to have a showdown at the Boxing Gym of Lindwood University, and I can't stop them!" Evie exclaimed.
"Who is your godfather?"
"It's Richard."
Unbelievable!
Richard and Evella had actually become godfather and goddaughter.
Nora was shocked, too preoccupied to ask more questions. She immediately requested Frederick to take her to Lindwood University.
The Boxing Gym was located in the research building of Lindwood City University.
The boxing gym on the vibrant university campus was filled with hormones.
As Nora and Frederick entered the gym, they immediately felt the energetic atmosphere of sports.
The gym was equipped with a ring, punching bags, and all kinds of boxing equipment.
Many people were sweating it out.
At that moment, a crowd had gathered around one of the rings, watching two men preparing for a match. They were Howard and Richard.
"Evella," Nora shouted.
She saw Evella standing below, looking up at the ring.
"Nora, you finally came. Please help me get Howard down," Evella pleaded, her voice filled with urgency.
Nora glanced at the ring where Howard and Richard were already exchanging punches and shrugged. She said, "There's nothing we can do. Howard and Richard have already started."
Evie turned to look, her brows furrowed in concern. Her gaze was fixed on the two men, unsure of whom to root for.
If Howard won, Richard would definitely lose face.
Or perhaps both Howard and Richard would end up embarrassed.
How did these two start a showdown at the drop of a hat?
She couldn't stop them!
"Evie, what's going on? How did Howard and Richard end up in a showdown?" Nora wasn't that nervous.
After all, men enjoyed this kind of spirited competition.
And this kind of showdown was civilized; neither of them would resort to dirty tricks.
Even if someone got hurt a bit, it was all in good fun and wouldn't cause any real harm.
"It's all Howard's fault. He's just too impulsive," Evie said helplessly, "He came to take me out to dinner without notifying me, and at that time, my godfather also came to see me, so I went to the school cafeteria with my godfather."
"You know how crowded the cafeteria can get, and my godfather was afraid I would get pushed around, so he put his arm around me."
"Howard saw this, and without a word, he attacked my godfather. I couldn't stop him. My godfather got angry and challenged Howard to a match at the boxing gym. And that's how it all started."
So, that was what happened!
Howard must have been jealous!
Nora looked at Evella, her eyes flashing with thoughts.
Evella was so affectionate when calling Richard Godfather.
How did Richard become her godfather?
Richard wasn't that old; could it be that he liked Evie and used the title of godfather to deceive her, making her lower her guard and gradually get closer to her?
Thinking about this, Nora asked, "Evella, why did Richard come to see you? Is he trying to harm you in any way?"
Evie almost choked and said, "Nora, don't jump to conclusions; that's not the case!"
"You're not Richard; how do you know what he's thinking?" Nora said, "I feel like Richard is trying to harm you. Why did he help you at Rachel's birthday party and inexplicably call you his goddaughter? What's his motive?"
"Today, Richard came to see you again. You've only met a few times, so normally, he shouldn't be coming to see you so frequently."
Evella didn't know how to respond.
Should she reveal Richard's true identity to Nora and Richard?
If she didn't tell them, Richard would continue to be misunderstood.
After some thought, Evie decided to come clean. She said, "Nora, Richard isn't trying to harm me; he actually likes me."
Nora frowned and said, "Really?"
Evie chuckled, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that kind of liking; it's the elder's affection for the younger generation."
Nora looked at her and said, "Affection for the younger generation? Evie, I know you're likable, but Richard is just a stranger suddenly showing you unwarranted affection. Shouldn't you be more cautious?"
Evie laughed. "Nora, don't overthink it. Okay, I'll tell you a secret."
"What?" Nora looked puzzled.
Evie leaned in close to her ear, saying, "Actually, Richard is my biological uncle."
Nora was stunned, her face showing shock, asking, "Is Richard your uncle?"
Evie put a finger to her lips, signaling for quiet.
Nora lowered her voice, confirming, "Is it true? Is Richard really your uncle?"
"Yes, we've already done a DNA test," Evie said.
That was how it was!
No wonder Richard paid extra attention to Evie when he appeared.
They thought that Richard had ulterior motives for Evie.
But it turned out Richard was Evie's relative.
Nora looked at Richard and Howard, who were still in the ring fighting, and her first thought was that Howard was in trouble.
He had actually treated Richard as a rival and even fought him!
What a mess!
Nora felt sorry for Howard for two seconds in her mind, then shifted her gaze. She asked, "Where is your father?"
"His name is Zack, the CEO of the Bilian Group; he has passed away." Talking about her father, Evella's eyes showed a hint of sadness.
Although they had never met, he was still her father.
His accident and death were heartbreaking.
Nora also remembered who Evie's father was.
When Richard introduced himself to Aaron earlier, Nora was present.
She heard Richard say that Zack was his elder brother.
She held Evella's hand and said, "It's a pity."
