Chapter 1085: What Did He Give You
"Dermot, you might not have meant it, but since we met, you haven't asked about Joshua's condition once. Isn't that a bit heartless?" Evelyn said, looking disappointed.
Dermot was shocked. Evelyn's look felt like a stab to his heart. "Evelyn, I know his injury is fake. Why would I ask? He's fine."
Evelyn got up and walked into the villa, not wanting to talk anymore. She needed to calm down.
"Evelyn, I swear, Joshua's leg injury is fake. He can stand just fine," Dermot insisted, following her, hoping she'd agree to take Joshua to another hospital.
"Enough!" Evelyn snapped. "I saw the surveillance footage. You dragged Joshua out of the room."
"If his injury is fake, would he let you humiliate him like that?" Evelyn asked, too tired to argue more.
From the footage, Joshua looked powerless against Dermot. If that wasn't humiliation, what was?
Their eyes met, and Dermot knew he had lost this round.
Joshua knew Evelyn too well and had planned everything. Dermot had no counter.
But he wouldn't give up. "Evelyn, I know you don't believe me now, but I won't give up. I'll find the evidence to prove Joshua's scheme."
With that, Dermot left.
Watching him go, Evelyn felt a deep sadness. She wanted to trust Dermot, but the facts were clear. How could she believe him?
Evelyn went back to her room, took a nap, showered, and returned to the hospital to care for Joshua.
Meanwhile, Dermot didn't give up.
After taking over the Doyle family, he had more power to investigate.
He met the guy who had kidnapped Evelyn in the dungeon. It was his first time interrogating him since taking him from Margaret.
"What did Joshua give you to make you so loyal?" The man had been silent, but at Joshua's name, he looked up.
The man sneered, "Who's Joshua? I don't know him."
"Joshua must be a great boss to earn your loyalty. He must treat you well, huh?" Dermot continued, unfazed.
The man stayed silent. Dermot pressed on, "But does he really treat you well?"
"What do you think Joshua would do if I let everyone know you're in my hands?" Dermot asked, smiling.
The man was speechless.
Dermot didn't say more. People like him needed a reality check.
"Just wait. Someone from Joshua's side will come soon. Whether they save you or kill you is up to fate." With that, Dermot left.
After leaving the dungeon, Dermot didn't rest. He sent someone to find Joshua's previous doctor.
The medical records had to be fake, and the doctor must have been bribed. Dermot needed to find proof.
