Chapter 607 All His
Hearing that, she could tell that Forbos's breath quickened.
Looking back at the group of people standing outside the door, he whispered to Evelyn, "You promise to keep your word. Don't lie to me!"
But Evelyn sneered. "What can I lie to you about? It's not like you don't know where I live. I can't hide from you forever."
As soon as she said this, Forbos was convinced as expected.
As she thought of it, legally speaking, he was her adopted father, so he was eligible to ask for money from her.
If she didn't give it to him, he could sue her for abandoning him.
Moreover, Forbos had been controlling her mother and her over the years, so he had gotten used to it psychologically.
Obviously, his guard against them was very low.
However, for the sake of his own safety, he decided to leave a way out for himself.
"How about this? Tell me where is your mother, and when I confirm that there is no problem, I will let you go."
In an instant, Evelyn's face turned cold.
"Forbos, this is our business and it has nothing to do with my mom. Stop getting her involved!"
Hearing that, Forbos laughed coldly and wickedly.
"Nothing to do with her? How is that possible? She is your mother and my wife. Our business is hers too, isn't it? Besides, you are different now, so you don't have to lie to me."
"I know, didn't you hook up with a rich man? You are smarter now. If I let go of you, and you refuse to give me the money, what can I do to you? What if your crazy man retaliates against me?"
"But things are different if it's your mother. We are a legal couple. Even if I don't hit her or scold her, it's normal to do what husbands and wives love to do, right? When doing this kind of thing, if her heart hadn't recovered, what could happen to her? This is also out of my control, isn't it?"
"For cases like this, there won't be any legal consequences, and I will not be held accountable, right? So, you'd better tell me where she is. This way, we can both be at ease, and have a pleasant partnership. It's a win-win situation to hand over the money and the person, isn't it?"
Upon hearing that, Evelyn trembled with anger.
She had always known about Forbos's shamelessness, but she had never expected him to be that shameless!
Gritting her teeth, she looked at him coldly, and said word by word, "Don't even think about it!"
Immediately, her attitude made Forbos's face turn cold.
"Oh! So, this means that you were just trying to fool me, didn't you? You wanted to lie to me, so now you dare not to tell me where your mother is. Evelyn, do you really think I am fun to play with?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand suddenly and grabbed her chin.
Feeling as if her chin was being crushed, Evelyn felt her head was forced to be lifted up.
Just then, a voice came in from outside.
"Hey, are you done questioning her?"
Looking back at those people, and before he could speak, Forbos heard Evelyn gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "The money is in my house."
Stunned, Forbos turned around to look at her, as he had yet to react to the situation.
"What did you say?"
"I said, if the money is in my house. Surely, I won't carry a large check with me. If you want it, you will have to come back home with me to get it."
Hearing that, Forbos trembled all over violently!
Loosening his grip, he turned to the people outside the house, and shouted. "Soon."
Then, he turned to look at Evelyn.
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
Finally, he let go of Evelyn's chin, which relieved her pain.
Then, she took a few deep breaths and said, "Of course, but you have to take me with you. Because without me, you can't enter my house."
Upon hearing that, Forbos grinned hideously.
"You're wrong. Have you forgotten how I entered your house last time?"
As he smiled, so did Evelyn.
"Is that so? So, you think that I would be stupid enough to stay there after you broke into my house?"
Upon hearing that, Forbos was stunned.
And Evelyn continued, "As you said, I'm a celebrity now. I'm rich and I'm married to a rich man. It's impossible for me to live in that small apartment."
"To tell you the truth, that small apartment is still there so I can use it as a cover-up for you."
"When I film, I spend most of my time staying in a hotel. You wouldn't know how many days I spend at home. So, as long as I go home occasionally, you will think that I have been living there all the time."
"This way, you won't check my real address, but in fact, I have already moved, and I am now living in a villa."
"Not to mention the check, but there is also a lot of jewelry and antiques, which I secretly collected over the years. As long as you are willing to let me go, I promise I will give them all to you. What do you think?"
After Forbos listened to the words, his eyes immediately lit up excitedly.
"Are you serious? There are jewelry and antiques?"
"Of course. I'm in your hands. How can I lie to you?"
Upon hearing that, Forbos gulped, as Evelyn looked at him quietly and patiently, waiting for his answer.
Because she knew that Forbos was greedy, it was impossible for him to give up after knowing there was a large sum of money.
As expected, after a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I can let you go, but only after I get it!"
After hearing his response, Evelyn smiled slowly. "Deal."
"Deal."
Then, Forbos discussed the matter with her and went out.
The group of people outside kept on asking him where the money was.
But he sneered and said that she was stubborn and he would talk to her at night after she was starved for a while.
Hearing his words, the man pulled a long face, as he looked at Evelyn coldly and said that he wanted to teach her a lesson.
As he was speaking, he was already unbuttoning his clothes and walking into the room.
When Forbos noticed the situation, he knitted his brows, then reached out to stop him with a smile.
"Oh, don't do that. We haven't got the money yet. This girl is very hot-tempered. If something bad happens to her now, it's not worth it. When she spills out the information later at night, you can do whatever you want, and I won't get in your way."
Upon hearing this, the man stopped and gave up the idea of taking an action.
The man with tattooed arm said, "Number four, I didn't expect you to be so heartless. She is your adopted daughter! Aren't you distressed that she'll be defiled by our brothers?"
As he heard the words, Forbos narrowed his eyes and lit up a cigarette, as he smiled and said, "Adopted daughter? She's a money-sucker. She has been living off me for more than ten years, and now that she is successful, she wants to get rid of me. Why should I care about her well-being?"
Upon hearing this, the man seemed to be relieved, then he put his hand on Forbos's shoulder and continued chatting merrily.
