Chapter 144 Cruel Family

Darius knew what Evan was up to all this time. He knew the heiresses who saved him three years ag had fallen for someone else. No, to be exact, they had never loved Evan. He was a replac

as the shadow of their true love for three years.

He’d thrown away his name and called himself a Solberg. But Zeke returned, so the heiresses love west back to him. Their relationship started to crack, and divorce was already on the

Hazel and the others only had eyes for Zeke. So, they couldn’t care less about Evan. No

overturn the case for him even if they knew Evan was being slandered. Only people with power could overturn cases. No one would cross Cain for a defeated man

Perhaps the heiresses might have tried, but that wasn’t the case now. Evan was someone no one wanted The Norwoods made sure he would go to hell. Once the Norwood sisters gave Darius the idea be

it

First, he sought out the team that framed Evan three years ago and created a whole trove of fake

evidence.

The team was professional. They could fake witnesses, evidence, and even video proof. They could turn lies into truths. The Norwoods leaked the news early just to ensure that Cain’s fury would be directed

the right victim

That move intimidated all the factions that tried to shelter Evan. The Solberg family was one of them These moves made sure Evan was the one who switched out the gemstone, and he couldn’t even make a case for himself.

“Now Darius is safe. Evan’s taking the fall, and it has nothing to do with our family anymore * Alice smiled. She sipped her wine like a noble.

Beverly sighed. “Honestly, I feel for Evan. He did nothing but still had to take the fall *

Colette took a deep drag and sneered. “It’s his duty. If he doesn’t take the fall, then Darius will. He’s family. Blood. Sacrificing an outsider to save our whole family? I say that’s a bargain”

In the Norwoods’ eyes, bloodline meant everything. Most people would have formed a bond with the people they spent years with, but not these people. A stranger with the same blood in their veins was worth more than the people they’d spend their whole lives with.

Darius stood up and bowed to his sisters. “Thank you. I’d be done for if you hadn’t come up with that plan

He put on a mask that showed that he was moved.

”

Josephine smiled. “Your father helped too, Darius. He kept praying to God to keep our family safe and prosperous. We got the perfect scapegoat thanks to him.”

“Yes, thank you, Dad!” Darius bowed to James.

The delighted James waved his hand dismissively. “That proves raising that b*stard is worth something. He’s the key to our family’s prosperity.”

The Norwoods rose to power using the money they gained from selling the gemstone. Now they had Evan taking the fall and all of Cain’s attention. Of course, he was the key.

The family was delighted that this crisis was over. They cheered in their triumph.

“The team’s the only thing that could trace back to us, Darius.” Alice remembered something and reminded Darius solemnly, “Tell them to get a flight overseas and lay low just in case.”

Darius nodded. “Of course, Alice. I’m already on it. They’ve changed their IDs, too. No one will be able to

find them.”

The sisters nodded. “Good to know.”

The ladies might be doing this for the family, but Darius truly wanted Evan dead. He thought, I’ve laid out a trap, Evan. You’re done for! Only then will I be the Norwoods’ heir forever!’ Murder flashed in Darius

eyes.

Unbeknownst to Darius, Evan had already taken Darius’ schemes into account.
