Chapter 620 Oblivious to Danger
Sarah's declaration ignited a firestorm of anger within Keith. His gaze bore into her, desperately searching for a flicker of change in her eyes. Regrettably, he found nothing."Keith, I'm just not the right fit for you," Sarah confessed, her voice laced with a hint of sadness she hadn't intended to reveal. "Your crush is probably just a fleeting thing. If we just spend less time together, it'll fade away."Her heart ached at the sight of the dejection etched on Keith's face. He had been nothing but kind to her, pulling her from the depths of despair more than once. But could she be with someone purely out of gratitude? That wouldn't be fair to either of them.Her words did not pacify Keith; they stoked his frustration instead. "How can you know we're not right for each other without giving it a try? Are you going to label every guy you meet as a jerk just because you had a bad experience with one?"Sarah's face hardened, "I'm sorry."Keith was seething, yet seeing Sarah in this state quenched his fiery temper. "I hope you'll think it over. You can't live in the past forever; it's time to move on," he declared, standing up and departing without a backward glance.As she watched his retreating figure, Sarah's brows furrowed in thought. "Am I really... still living in the past?"She had believed herself to be over Nolan's betrayal, that it could no longer touch her. But Keith's words stirred up self-doubt — perhaps she hadn't truly moved on after all.With a sigh, Sarah rose and exited the break room, shifting her focus from these troubling thoughts and channeling all her energy into her work. That was the only thing that could provide her with some semblance of comfort.Meanwhile, at the cliffs near Moris City, the site of Dermot's accident, Evelyn was making her umpteenth visit. She tirelessly searched for something — anything — that might indicate Dermot was still alive somewhere.But there was nothing to be found, neither in the turbulent waters below nor along the shoreline. Dermot had disappeared without a trace, his fate unknown.Her phone rang, and Luke's voice echoed from the other end. "Benjamin's still laid up in the hospital. Why'd you ask me to check on him?""Just double-checking," Evelyn responded. With Dermot's accident, the Roberts family had motive, but so did Benjamin. She needed to be sure.On the other end, Luke's brow furrowed in confusion. "Something wrong?""It's nothing," Evelyn replied, hesitant to reveal too much. If Luke knew everything, she couldn't predict his actions.To ward off further inquiries, she quickly added, "How's everything at the company?""Good, business as usual." Luke didn't push her, though he had a hunch about what was happening. Evelyn’s sudden trip to Moris City and her request for him to verify Benjamin’s whereabouts — it must be related to Dermot's accident.But what could have possibly happened? Luke wasn't overly concerned; he found his current life more than satisfactory. Although it wasn't the same as leading the towering Doyle Group, he found his new, average yet spirited existence quite appealing."You find some folks to keep tabs on the Roberts family," Evelyn finally shifted her focus onto them, convinced they were the most suspicious. "Sure."After ending the call, Evelyn pondered her next move. Should she stay and continue the search, or juggle her commitments to the Jiang Group and avenge Dermot, all while managing the affairs of Evelyna Fashion? The multitude of tasks was daunting, but the absence of any news from Dermot was what truly unsettled her.
