Chapter 520

Jane Evans looked at Mrs. Evans and shook her head firmly.

Justin Evans sneered coldly.

"That's how it should be! A useless coward like him, timid since childhood. Jane, don't you dare soften your heart!"

He stepped forward, grabbed Nathan White's arm roughly, and shoved him away.

Nathan's grip on Jane's hand loosened bit by bit...

In the end, he couldn't hold onto anything.

Justin pushed hard, and Nathan staggered backward.

Amelia White hurriedly grabbed her son's arm.

"Let's go... we can't afford to provoke the Evans family... stop clinging to Jane!"

Nathan stared blankly at his mother, then suddenly looked at Jane.

Regret and fury clouded his mind. He suddenly took a step forward!

He still didn't dare look at Justin, only glaring fixedly at Jane.

"Jane! Does our one-year relationship in college mean nothing compared to my moment of foolishness? You're so high and mighty, so stubborn! You refuse to forgive me, but what about them?!"

Nathan grew more agitated, his voice trembling.

He pointed at Mrs. Evans and Justin.

"Now that you're Miss Evans, you look down on me, right? That's why you won't give me a chance! But these two, they're the real culprits!!"

Nathan's eyes were red-rimmed, his gaze locked on Jane.

"If the Evans family hadn't bullied you, my mom wouldn't have treated you that way! If everyone hadn't thought you'd offended the Evans family, my mom wouldn't have opposed us! If the Evans family wasn't so powerful, my mom wouldn't have pressured me to betray you for Miss Evans! The hurt I caused you was just emotional, a small thing. But what about them?"

"They drove you to jump off a building! They trampled your dignity underfoot, crushed it to dust! And now, just because of the Miss Evans identity, because they can offer you wealth and status, you forgive them?"

Nathan roared in agony.

"Why can you forgive them, but you stubbornly refuse to forgive me?! Why?!!"

Justin's rage flared hotter. He grabbed Nathan by the collar.

"Shut up! You scumbag, stop trying to stir up trouble here!"

But Nathan had nothing left to lose. He shouted with all his might.

"What are you?! Who are you to judge me?! Call me a scumbag?!"

He glared fiercely at Justin.

"Everyone in New York knows your reputation since childhood! Who doesn't know you're a vile, wicked bastard! Someone like you can be forgiven, but I was just momentarily confused! Why can't I be forgiven?! Jane, why?! Just because my family background isn't as good as the Evans family?!"

Mrs. Evans quickly looked at Jane.

Justin also turned to look.

Jane stood there, her back straight.

At this moment, she was like a green bamboo, unyielding even if broken.

She took out paper and pen and slowly wrote:

[I have never forgiven Justin or the Evans family. And I will never forgive you. Never.]

Mrs. Evans was stunned.

Justin was dumbfounded.

Nathan froze.

"You haven't forgiven them? How is that possible! Then why are you here?"

Jane wrote:

[I came to explain that I am the Miss Evans your mother mentioned. I came for you. But now, it's unnecessary.]

Nathan's eyes slowly widened in disbelief, his spirit broken.

"So... that's how it is..."

Mrs. White immediately grabbed her son's arm.

"Let's go quickly..."

Nathan's words had completely offended the Evans family!

Mrs. White knew how obsessed Mrs. Evans and Justin were with Miss Evans, especially Justin...

By forcing Jane to say such things, Justin would never let Nathan off...

It's over! Offending the Evans family meant the White family was finished!

Nathan was utterly despondent.

Dragged by his mother, he stumbled out the door, got into the car, and slunk away in disgrace.

Evelyn Ross and Alexander Vance had just arrived at the gate and witnessed the scene.

Nathan and his mother looked as if they were attending a funeral.

Jane stood before Mrs. Evans and Justin.

Evelyn quickly had Alexander stop the car to watch from a distance.

Mrs. White and Nathan fled.

Justin stared fixedly at Jane, his eyes red, tears rolling down.

He rasped,

"Jane, what do you mean? Will you never acknowledge me as your brother?"

Jane didn't look at him, only at Mrs. Evans.

She signed a farewell, then looked at Justin and wrote:

"Don't come bother me again. Thank you."

She turned to leave.

After just two steps, Justin suddenly grabbed her arm.

Jane looked back.

Justin stared at her intensely.

"Belle, Jane, you can't leave. I'm your brother. You can't refuse to forgive me!"

Jane shook her head.

Suddenly, Justin's legs gave way. With a thud, he knelt before Jane.

This Justin, always rigid, never admitting fault—the one who slandered Mina Sherwood, beaten half to death by Marcus Valentine without relenting, nearly killed by Evelyn and Alexander without bending—now knelt straight-backed before Jane.

Jane was stunned.

She tried to help Justin up.

But Justin said,

"If you don't forgive me, I won't get up."

Jane's eyes reddened.

She looked at Justin, but her mind flashed with the terror of leaping from the rooftop.

Those two seconds, despair had flooded over her like a tide.

The most profound despair she had ever felt in her life was given to her by Justin.

How could she forgive?

Her wounds still ached faintly.

The doctor said her uterus was injured; she might never be able to have children...

Since childhood, she thought she was an orphan, yearning for family, always wanting many children... It was Justin who crushed that dream.

How could she forgive?

Jane reached up, wiped the tear from the corner of her eye, took a step back, wrote on a piece of paper, handed it to Justin, then turned and walked away.

Justin took the note.

It read:

[Then stay kneeling.]

Justin was stunned.

He sprang up, rushing over to grab Jane, but seeing Jane covered in injuries, her arm bandaged, he didn't dare use force.

He could only watch helplessly as Jane strode away.

As if once she left, she would never return.

Justin hurriedly looked at Mrs. Evans.

"Mom, stop her, quick..."

Mrs. Evans was already weeping.

She looked at Jane despairingly, her body trembling, not daring to stop her.

She knew her daughter had been stubborn and strong-willed since childhood. Once she decided something, she never looked back.

She sobbed to Justin,

"Don't make things difficult for Belle anymore... she... will never come home."

Justin shook his head.

"No, I want Belle to come home. I want my Belle..."

He suddenly thought of something.

"And Grace, Evelyn Ross. She saved our sister's life. If she speaks, our sister will definitely come home."

Mrs. Evans said,

"Don't trouble Miss Ross."

Justin shouted,

"Don't trouble anyone? Then let our sister wander outside? Impossible! I want Evelyn Ross to speak up, to make our sister come home! If she doesn't help me persuade our sister, I won't cooperate with their company anymore!"

Mrs. Evans said urgently,

"Don't be absurd! That's the Nora Research Institute!"

"I don't care what it is! As long as our sister comes home, I'd give up the entire Evans family! I just want our sister home!!"

Evelyn, who had just parked and gotten out of the car at the Evans family gate: ??

What did this have to do with her?

The next moment, her phone vibrated.

That same number sent a task:

[To secure cooperation with the Evans family and gain their unconditional, permanent support, you must make Jane Evans return to the Evans family.]

Evelyn: "..."

An absurd task!

At that moment, Jane, who had just walked out the door, also saw her.

Their eyes met.

Jane had heard Justin's words from behind.

So her benefactor was from the Nora Research Institute. She could enter the Nora Research Institute because of her benefactor.

Jane clenched her fists, slowly walked up to Evelyn, took out paper and pen, and wrote:

[Do you want me to return to the Evans family? If you need me to, I will listen to you.]
