Sorry Too Late (by J.J. Twelve) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Determined to Build His Own Legacy

When Evan heard her request he was stunned for a moment. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Ivana would fal love with him, let alone request to become his confidante.

After all, she was the kind of woman countless men admired from afar-the perfect woman in their eyes.

For a moment, Evan truly didn’t know what to do. Rejecting her felt wrong. Accepting her felt even more complicated.

He inhaled and exhaled deeply, calming himself down. “Here’s the deal, Ivana. Right now, I have all the medical and marti skills, but I don’t have the corresponding status and background.

“The Stanton family would definitely look down on me. I want to wait until I’ve built a position where I can stand above eve -without relying on anyone else before we talk about things like this.”

These words weren’t mere empty talk. He actually meant it.

Although he indeed had Gaius and Ivana as his backers, they were still outsiders at the end of the day. Their social statuses a backgrounds didn’t belong to him.

Only by building his own legacy could he command the fear of all.

With him possessing the Ninefold Arcane Arts, ascending to the highest stage of the Ninefold Heavens wasn’t a pipe dream. Ivana stared at him blankly, for she never expected Evan to say such a thing.

Just as Evan said, many members of the Stanton family indeed looked down on him. Some even harbored hostility toward hi

William was a perfect example.

If Evan someday possessed power strong enough to stand above everyone, then people like William would never dare to oppo him again.

“Alright then. I’ll be waiting for the day you rise above the highest stage of the Ninefold Heavens!”

Ivana wasn’t disappointed at all. On the contrary, she looked forward to the day to come and admired his ambition, for she kne Evan would definitely succeed.

Without wasting a moment, Evan returned to Nine Courts and began his secluded cultivation for medicinal alchemy.

Since the Leighton family’s life-saving drug is of high quality, refining it required not only a tedious and difficult process but also time-consuming. Still, no matter what, he swore he would refine them before the divorce cooling-off period expired.

Meanwhile, Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya continued living their good lives. Occasionally, they would check on Evan’s situation

“Hazel, still no apology from Evan?” asked Roxanne and Anya.

“No.”

Hazel shook her head.

Upon hearing that, Anya and Roxanne couldn’t help but wear a grim expression. “What is he waiting for? The cooling-off period is almost over. Has he lost his mind?” said Anya.

“I thought he was taking some actions before. He even went to the Norwood Residence to check things out, so why is he now?” Roxanne echoed in confusion.

Hazel sneered coldly. “Forget about him. Whether he comes to apologize or not, I already have a way to deal with it

Roxanne and Anya laughed

“That’s right. At worst, you’ll just get a divorce. That way, the fake death certificate will come in handy.”

Once again, they sighed at Evan’s overestimation of his abilities. In their views, he couldn’t possibly win against Hazel.

Just as Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya thought they would spend the days counting down to the divorce in boredom, Roxanne’s phone rang.

It was Sadie calling.

“Roxanne, I suddenly remembered this. Isn’t it your wedding day in a couple of days?”

Roxanne was taken aback. “Wedding? I don’t even have a fiance. Who am I supposed to marry?”

“Evan, of course,” Sadie said matter-of-factly. “Didn’t you girls agree three years ago to marry him one by one? Ms. Solberg already married him first, so this year it’s your turn.”

Roxanne felt as if she had been struck by lightning upon hearing that, and she was about to freak out.

She finally recalled that the three of them indeed promised to take turns marrying Evan three years ago. However, she had completely forgotten about it now.

“What’s wrong?”

Hazel and Anya both looked over.

Roxanne turned to them slowly, looking as if her soul had just left her body. “Hazel… my mom just reminded me. Three years ago, we promised to take turns marrying Evan. And this year… it’s my turn.”

Then, she cried out in despair. “But I don’t want to marry him!”
