A Sweet Romance: The CEO's Reborn Wife Chapter-11

After they finished eating, Lu Xiaosang delivered her entire set of study notes to Everly as she promised.

With the notes of the second-best student in their grade, Everly's studying yielded far better results.

However, this peace didn't last very long...

After the physical education class ended in the afternoon, in front of all the students, Shawn caught Everly at the front entrance of the school with a bouquet of roses.

Shawn Stanton

"Eve, can you stop being angry? I truly love you!"

Surprise flashed through Shawn's eyes at his first glimpse of this new Everly.

Who would have thought that once she took off all that strange makeup, Everly was so pretty?

In the past, he had no interest in Everly. It was only because of Liana's advice that the Smith Family could help his family business if he was close to Everly that he superficially kept Everly happy and pretended to hang out with her.

He still felt that a wastrel like Everly was not worthy of him.

However, he felt that with this face, he could just about allow her to be his girlfriend.

Furthermore, cuckolding Liam White, that godlike man, and stealing his fiance sounded like a very fine thing to do!

Shawn was still lost in his daydream when Everly spoke with a cold expression.

Everly Smith/FL

"Why are you still here? Didn't I speak clearly enough yesterday?"

Shawn didn't hear anything Everly was saying and was still continuing with his own speech.

Shawn Stanton

"Eve, I understand everything. Yesterday at the White Family home, you were trying to protect me. You said all those things to win Liam's trust."

Shawn Stanton

"Trust me, I will think of a perfect plan to take you away!"

Everly Smith/FL

"Shawn Stanton, I will repeat myself once more. I am already engaged to Liam. Stop your wild dreams. You and I can never be together!"

Everly Smith/FL

"If you continue harassing me, don't blame me if I act impolitely!"

Everly spoke straightforwardly and went around him and up the stairs.

It was only now that Shawn felt that something was not right. He immediately took out his phone and called Liana.

Shawn Stanton

"Lia, why is Everly acting so cold toward me? Didn't you say yesterday that she still has feelings for me?"

On the other end of the phone, Liana frowned in surprise.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"Cold toward you? I heard Uncle say that the Smith Family and the White Family are working together right now. Perhaps Everly is pretending for the sake of their co-operation."

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"Don't worry, I will think of something. Do you have a recording of your conversation just now?"

Hearing Liana's words, Shawn relaxed a little and replied with a smile.

Shawn Stanton

"Relax, I've recorded everything, but this conversation seems to be beneficial toward Everly. Why do you need this recording?"

Liana laughed quietly and spoke sinisterly.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"You'll know when you see it. Relax, I will make it so Everly won't be able to leave you!"

In the late afternoon, after school was over, Everly tidied her things and headed toward the school entrance.

Ever since Shawn's appearance that afternoon, she had felt uneasy.

It was not until she reached the school entrance and saw the familiar Phantom and Zhan Ying, standing by with a cold expression, that she suddenly realized the reason for her unease.

Zhan Ying (ML Assistant)

"Miss Smith, please get in the car!"

Zhan Ying saw Everly and a glimmer of disdain and disgust immediately rose on his face.

In his heart, Everly had already died 10,000 deaths.

Zhan Ying (ML Assistant)

'This stupid woman. My master finally trusts her once, yet she acted out again! In front of everyone, she met up with that piece of trash! She doesn't think of the master at all!'

Zhan Ying (ML Assistant)

'If she irritates the master right now, he will suffer too!'

Everly Smith/FL

"My second brother will pick me up from school."

Everly glanced at the Phantom behind him. The windows were closed tightly and she couldn't see if there was someone inside, but she could instinctively sense a very dangerous aura.

The devil had to be inside the car, and he was very angry. Otherwise, she wouldn't be instinctively trembling right now!

Her base instinct for life made Everly want to tactfully decline the invitation.

The deep fear she felt toward Liam in her last life had been reawakened!

Everly couldn't control this kind of fear. She was already doing her best to restrain herself.

That was the only reason she had not run away!

Zhan Ying (ML Assistant)

"Miss Smith, please get in the car."

With a frozen expression, Zhan Ying repeated his words coldly.

At the same time, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees!

Everly Smith/FL

"Mr. Zhan, may I ask why Liam is looking for me?"

Zhan Ying let out a cold and disdainful huff.

Zhan Ying (ML Assistant)

"Are you not aware of something you have done that could have disappointed the master?"

Everly Smith/FL

"Something that disappointed Liam?"

Everly Smith/FL

'Have I done something? After I was reborn, I haven't done anything stupid, right?'

In a flash, the image of Shawn cornering her this afternoon rose in Everly's mind.

At this moment, Zhan Ying opened the back door of the car and chided her in a cold voice.

Zhan Ying (ML Assistant)

"Miss Smith, our master's patience is limited!"

Everly's heart jumped and she forced herself to duck into the car. As expected, the devil was indeed inside.

The man didn't even glance at her. A terrifying tempest lay beneath the cold and handsome face.

The devastatingly low air pressure and murderous aura practically froze Everly into a block of ice.

She very much wanted to explain something, but she also didn't know where to start. Particularly after she glanced toward the devil and his icy expression, she found that she could barely breathe, much less speak.

Under this strange and continued silence, the car flew along the roads. Everly turned the matter over and over in her mind.

Everly Smith/FL

'What had gone wrong to cause Liam to be so angry for so long?'

The car abruptly stopped. Everly pulled back from her thoughts and glanced outside without thinking.

The familiar white stone path snaking inside, the two marble statues of Greek gods standing to either side, the clear pool in the distance, and the grapevines all brought back her... terrifying memories!

This was the Phoenix Lodge. The most luxurious manor and the most admired residence in the imperial capital.

Its name came from Sima Xiangru's "Phoenix Seeking Mate". In her opinion, it was clearly "Phoenix Imprisoning Mate"!

She had been reborn, yet she had returned to this place where she had been placed under house arrest by Liam White!

Liam White/ML

"Get out."

The man's voice was very cold, plunging Everly into an icy pool.

All kinds of bad memories from her previous life surged into her mind. She hurriedly climbed out of the car, and following behind Liam, she walked inside quickly.

Everly Smith/FL

"Liam, let's talk. Why are you so angry? Even if I am to die, let me die knowing what I did wrong!"

Everly threw caution to the wind and shouted in a loud voice, but the man didn't seem to hear anything!

She could only chase behind his cold and cruel figure, all the way from the hall to up the stairs.

Suddenly, a weight came down on Everly's waist, and afterward, a brutish force pulled her into his arms.

After the world spun around, her entire person was thrown heavily onto a gigantic bed!

Following this, a mountain-like shadow pressed down on her and caught her in a tight embrace.

Her hands and feet were pressed down and she was unable to move an inch.

She raised her eyes nervously and met the man's deep and cold eyes, seeing her terrified face clearly reflected in his eyes.

The dark pressure surrounding the man's body had reached a limit. At this moment, all of the blood in Everly's body seemed to have congealed!

The helpless struggle and hopelessness from her previous life once again washed over her.

She remembered that after she was engaged to Liam, she had been forced to move into the Phoenix Lodge to live together with him.

That day, she had confessed her love to Shawn at school and Liam had found out about it.

In a rage, the devil had used force against her.

That was a terrifying memory that she didn't want to revisit in either of her lives.

Everly Smith/FL

"Liam, what are you doing?"

Everly's voice sounded like sobbing. Her desire to live made her struggle, however, this light movement further angered the man; particularly after he saw her bright and lively eyes suddenly become hopeless and dark.

The bloodthirsty tyrant inside of him couldn't be pulled back!

The man's already dark expression grew even colder.

All around them, the temperature was as icy as an abyss in the south pole, yet his fingers ripped at her dress with more brute force.

He bite her, and collarbone ached from his pressure!

Everly Smith/FL

'Why? I have worked so hard. Why do we have to end up like this?'

Countless grievances rose in Everly's heart. She gazed at Liam blurrily through her tears and slowly extended her hand to wrap around his neck, choosing to compromise. Raising her lips, she begged,

Everly Smith/FL

"Liam, be gentle. It hurts..."

All of the man's brutish movements abruptly stopped upon hearing that cry of "Liam".

Complicated emotions flashed through his sharp eyes; it was as if he wanted to bore holes into Everly.

He could feel the girl trembling and see her obvious fear, yet she kept her eyes tightly closed and clung to him with a death grip.

Her fearful but reluctant expression made inexpressible hopelessness and desolation flash across the icy eyes of the man who had been brutish and completely inhumane just a moment ago.

In the end, he couldn't harden his heart against her. As long as she expressed the smallest weakness, the smallest amount of care, he would compromise, he would lose everything.

Everly had planned to keep her eyes tightly closed and push through it, but she suddenly felt Liam stop moving.

Her lashes trembled, but she finally opened her eyes.

Everly Smith/FL

'Perhaps... there is still a chance of survival?'

Everly Smith/FL

"Why are you treating me like this? What have I done wrong? Tell me!"

Forlorn tears ran down Everly's face. She spoke weakly, but her tone was full of accusations.

Hearing her question, Liam's face abruptly darkened and the atmosphere once again became icy.

However, there were clearly slight differences from before!

Although the devil was still pressing down on her, he didn't continue moving. In a flash, Everly hurriedly said,

Everly Smith/FL

"Did you hear some rumor? Or did you see something that you misunderstood?"

Everly Smith/FL

"I swear, I haven't done anything that would disappoint you!"

Everly Smith/FL

"This afternoon, Shawn even came to harass me, but I rejected him and scolded him away! Many students saw it! If you don't trust me, go investigate!"

The devil didn't say anything. He just picked up his cellphone from the head of the bed and played a recording.

--Audio--

Shawn Stanton

"Eve, I understand everything. Yesterday at the White Family home, you were trying to protect me. You said all those things to win Liam's trust."

Shawn Stanton

"Trust me, I will think of a perfect plan to take you away!"

Everly Smith/FL

"Liam White, he should stop dreaming. He and I can never be together."

--End--

So this was what happened!

No wonder the devil would become so angry! Everly's eyes widened and she cried out,

Everly Smith/FL

"I didn't say that at all! I can prove it! I have a video!"

Everly struggled to pull her phone out of her pocket and quickly pulled up the video to show Liam.

Fortunately, she had thought ahead, and as Shawn charged toward her, she had started to record.

She had not expected this... Shawn and Liana's tricks were indeed vicious.

They had edited her words, then sent them to Liam!

They were purposely antagonizing their relationship!

After the recording finished paying, the devil's expression was clearly calmer;

Everly Smith/FL

"I'm already engaged to you, so you can relax."

A faint sliver of gentleness even appeared at the corners of his mouth. Although it disappeared very quickly, Everly caught it with her sharp eyes!
