CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 273 WHEN WILL YOU STOP HURTING ME

Feeling Nolan Moore’s gaze was not appropriate, Evie Larkin gloomily asked him.

"Nolan, why are you looking at me like that? You aren’t suspecting me, are you?

Could it be... you think I was the one who spread it?"

"No, I was just wondering who it could be, after all, not many people know about this."

Evie Larkin sighed: "That’s right, not many people know about my past with him.

I guess Kay Forrest must also think that I was the one who spilled it.

He must really hate me now.

But I really feel so wronged.

What I’m most afraid of now is that Kay Forrest will hate me.

I know he’s with Jane Quinlan now, and I also know he doesn’t want our relationship to be public, so how could I possibly talk carelessly.

Moreover, there’s no benefit for me in letting others know about this matter at all.

I really wonder, who is so bored to talk such idle gossip."

Evie Larkin’s expression had a faint sadness.

Seeing her like this, Nolan Moore slightly relaxed, it seemed it really wasn’t her.

Fortunately, if it had really been her, he would have been extremely disappointed.

He doesn’t think of Evie Larkin as that kind of person.

"Don’t worry, Kay Forrest doesn’t think it was you who said it.

He thinks it was me, he called me this morning and scolded me fiercely.

At that time, I was worried that this matter involved you, afraid that you might have let something slip to someone accidentally.

I thought, if I deny it, he would suspect you.

So I took the blame myself."

Evie Larkin frowned at him, her face filled with gratitude: "Nolan, thank you for considering me so much.

But if you take this blame, your relationship with him will become even more strained, you..."

"It doesn’t matter, we have always been like this anyway.

He has never respected me for being an orphan.

And no matter what, I will always serve Skyward Group loyally.

Not for him, but for Director Forrest."

Evie Larkin looked a bit troubled: "I always feel like I caused you both to become like this."

"It’s not, stop blaming yourself, let’s eat."

Nolan Moore kept comforting her, and Evie Larkin finally picked up her chopsticks and ate a few bites.

"Miss Quinlan is alright, isn’t she?"

"She doesn’t seem to be doing too well either."

"Do you think I should go see Miss Quinlan and explain things to her?"

Remembering Jane Quinlan’s dejected face that morning, Nolan Moore waved his hand: "Forget it."

"Why? Wouldn’t this make her overthink?"

"Since she chose Kay Forrest as her boyfriend, she will have to bear some things sooner or later.

Plus, if Kay Forrest really loves her, he will definitely explain things properly to her.

You and Kay Forrest are just history.

If she is a smart woman, there is no need to cling to those minor past issues."

Hearing this, Evie Larkin also felt it made perfect sense.

She nodded her head: "Then I’ll listen to you."

She didn’t eat much and soon the two of them headed back to the office, where Evie Larkin went upstairs, and he returned to the 17th floor.

When he left, Jane Quinlan hadn’t left.

When he returned, Jane Quinlan was still there.

He walked to her desk and saw her: "What’s the matter, didn’t you go to lunch?"

Caught daydreaming, Jane Quinlan looked up at him: "I’m dieting."

"Are you planning to leave those overweight people with nowhere to go?"

Jane Quinlan looked at him, was this a joke?

It’s so serious, and not funny at all.

"Go have lunch. Today noon I’ll allow you to be twenty minutes late."

Jane Quinlan calmly sat there, her butt as if glued to the chair: "No need, I’m not eating.

If Director Moore has any instructions, just hand them over to me.

I can start working now."

Seeing her stubborn look, Nolan Moore didn’t press further and walked into his office: "Come in."

Jane Quinlan got up and followed him in, he sat down and handed her a stack of documents.

"These planning proposals are too verbose, highlight the key points and organize them for me."

"Okay, then I’ll leave now."

Her obedience today made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"Are you alright?"

Jane Quinlan looked at him and pursed her lips into a smile: "I’m fine, what could possibly be wrong with me?"

"Didn’t you talk with Kay Forrest, what did she say?"

Jane Quinlan shrugged: "I’d rather not report this matter to Director Moore.

"In the morning when I asked you, didn’t you tell me to ask my boyfriend?

Now that the issue has been resolved, there’s no need for Director Moore to worry about it."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out.

Nolan Moore was left feeling snubbed. Was he being a busybody like a dog chasing rats?

Jane Quinlan spent the whole day in the office without going out again.

So naturally, she had no idea that the direction of the grapevine outside had completely reversed.

When it was time to leave work, Jane received a call from Benjamin Quinlan.

Benjamin’s tone was filled with care.

It was completely different from usual.

Normally, he would definitely say, "Have you eaten? Let’s have dinner together after work, your treat."

But today, he said, "Little sis, you’re finishing work soon, right? What do you want to eat? Think about it, I’ll buy it for you."

Jane smiled and said, "Brother, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, but what about you? Are you alright?"

"Are you talking about the rumors concerning Kay Forrest?"

Benjamin remained silent.

"I knew it. Why is my brother suddenly changing his ways today.

I thought you’d fallen in love and even became gentler."

Benjamin laughed: "Wasn’t I gentle before? I’ve been so good to you."

"Mhm, gentle, but unusually gentle today.

Don’t worry, I’m fine.

I’m not going to dump Kay over such a trivial matter."

"If you dumped Director Forrest over something like this, then you’d be the silly one.

It’s not Director Forrest’s fault."

Jane nodded, "Yeah, I know, it’s just a thing of the past, nothing serious, I won’t mind it."

"Well done, sis.

Actually, you should thank Evie’s assistant and your boss for this.

If it weren’t for those two, how could you and Director Forrest be so harmoniously matched today."

Jane was puzzled, "What does this have to do with Director Moore?"

"Don’t you already know?"

"What do I know? How does this relate to Director Moore?"

"Didn’t you hear this afternoon’s gossip?

They say, back then it was Evie’s assistant who took a liking to Nolan Moore, and the two of them got together behind Director Forrest’s back.

That’s why Director Forrest broke up with Evie’s assistant."

When Benjamin said this, Jane was dumbfounded. The afternoon gossip changed version?

But she heard it from the person involved herself.

It was actually Evie Larkin and Nolan Moore who brought back a classmate from the United States who got together and led to their breakup.

"Jane, why aren’t you speaking?"

Jane shook her head, "Oh, it’s nothing, brother. I won’t be having dinner with you tonight.

Kay and I have agreed to cook dinner together at home."

"So, you two are alright, right?"

"Of course, what could be wrong? It’s all in the past, I’ve stopped caring about it long ago."

"That’s good, sis, that’s what I like most about you, your magnanimity."

Jane giggled a couple of times: "Okay, my dear brother, stop flattering me.

You’re making my tail wag up to the sky."

After hanging up the phone, Jane bit her lip feeling bewildered.

What’s the situation? Could it be that Kay didn’t tell her the truth?

He despises Nolan so much, maybe because he was embarrassed by Nolan stealing his romance, so he didn’t tell the truth?

No matter what the real reason is, she felt there was no need to confront Kay anymore.

After all, it was all in the past, she couldn’t dwell on it.

Otherwise, every time she encountered Evie Larkin, it would be awkward.

She shook her head and calmed down to continue working.

Kay Forrest was busy in his office, and there was the sound of Wendy arguing with someone at the door.

Then, his office door was pushed open, and Evie Larkin stepped in.

Seeing Evie Larkin, Kay’s expression turned a few degrees colder.

Worried, Wendy stepped forward to explain, "Director Forrest, I stopped Evie’s assistant, but..."

"Alright, I know, you can go out."

Wendy bowed, gave Evie Larkin a displeased glance, and then left.

Kay threw his pen onto the table and, with a casually reclined posture, legs crossed, looked at her with a pleased expression: "What’s the rush in barging in here? Want to fight? To devour someone?"

"Kay, why do you treat me like this.

How long do you intend to hurt me using the past?" Evie said, bursting into tears; her tears fell like beads off a broken string.
