Chapter 310

"Evelyn..."

"Enough! We're divorced. Let the past stay in the past."

Evelyn turned and walked away, her stilettos clicking a resolute rhythm down the silent hallway.

Adrian watched her retreating figure, his knuckles whitening from the force of his grip.

His phone vibrated abruptly.

"Uncle Vincent."

"Adrian, someone intercepted my diamond shipment. It must be Phoenix Group! Find out who their CEO is!"

Adrian narrowed his eyes.

Phoenix Group had gone public within a month, its background shrouded in mystery.

"Investigating without evidence—are you prepared for the consequences?"

He would never help Vincent Langley.

The man who killed his father would pay in blood.

"I suspect Evelyn did this! She leaked those manuscripts deliberately to provoke me!"

A cold glint flashed in Adrian's eyes. "Proof?"

"Adrian, Evelyn's existence is the only obstacle between you and Isabella. You hate her. Why not arrange an... accident?"

Adrian's knuckles turned bone-white. "Murder in Vienna? Do you take me for a fool?"

"So you don't love Isabella?" Vincent's voice darkened.

The fox had finally shown its tail.

"Love isn't proven through murder," Adrian sneered. "If that's the proof Isabella demands, then this love isn't worth having."

Using him as a weapon?

Dream on.

Ending the call, Adrian's eyes churned with hidden storms.

Two years of preparation—it was time to close the net.

A news alert flashed on his phone: Roscente Family's Illegitimate Son Makes Grand Return.

He grabbed his coat and headed for the hospital.

Simultaneously, he texted Victor:

[Execute Plan B. Secure the evidence at all costs.]

Grandmother wanted Vincent Langley brought to justice, not mere revenge.

Victor replied instantly:

[Understood!]

Meanwhile...

Evelyn didn't take a car.

Running into Adrian tonight had unsettled her.

She preferred wandering through alleyways, where the hum of ordinary life soothed her restless heart.

"Hey beautiful, all alone?"

A leering voice slithered from the shadows.
