Chapter 268 The Truth They Finally Saw

Hearing that, Thaddeus and the others grew even more unsettled.

“Yeah, we remember. Didn’t we all think Ms. Stone was joking back then?”

“Exactly. It hadn’t even happened, so who would believe it?”

Artemisia’s words at the time had sounded too much like empty promises, so the Leightons hadn’t taken them seriously. If Wendy hadn’t brought it up now, they would’ve forgotten all about it.

“Could it be…” Wendy said slowly, “that Evan bringing back the life-saving medicine today is the ‘surprise from heaven’ Ms. Stone mentioned?”

In an instant, it felt as though a bomb had exploded in everyone’s minds.

A chill shot up Thaddeus’s spine.

Two things that had seemed completely unrelated were suddenly connected, and the realization alone was enough to drive them insane.

Could it be that Evan had planned all of this from the very beginning?

The thought was staggering.

Then Wendy remembered something else and told the family about it. The moment they heard it, no one could stay calmn anymore-a crowd of elite young women from across the city had all dressed in wedding gowns, waiting for one man to get divorced.

At first, they had treated it like nothing more than sensational gossip and hadn’t thought much of it. But now, with the possibility that Evan was anything but ordinary, they all realized the same thing at once.

Only one man had gotten divorced that day. And it was Evan.

“Holy-”

If Evan was the only one who had gotten divorced, who were all those women in wedding dresses waiting for?

The answer was obvious.

They had been waiting for Evan.

Wendy’s vision went black. She coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.

‘Isn’t everyone saying Evan was unwanted? That no one would ever love him? Why are so many elite women willing to marry him then? And if you add in the possibility that he refined the life-saving drugs… This is insane!

‘Hazel, Roxanne, Anya-you were all wrong about him! No, not just you. We were wrong too! Everyone who looked down on Evan was wrong! He’s not some stray dog cast aside-he’s a once-in-a-generation genius! And the funniest part? Hazel actually divorced him!”

Wendy began laughing and crying at the same time, looking almost unhinged.

Sadie also came to a realization. She recalled how Belinda had once said she was willing to marry her daughter off to a divorced man.

At the time, it had sounded absurd-who would want a man who had already been married? And yet, after all the twists and turns… that man might have been Evan.

It hit her like lightning.

The two women quickly shared their suspicions with the rest of the Leighton family.

“He refined the life-saving medicine… And he’s the man all those women in wedding dresses were waiting for.

Even without concrete proof, the likelihood was overwhelming.

As the realization sank in, every Leighton felt their minds clear like never before.

“Roxanne must marry him now!” Thaddeus suddenly declared, breathing hard. “Hazel may be willing to act like a fool, but we cannot let this chance slip away! Roxanne was already supposed to marry Evan anyway! Yes-she must marry him! Two life-saving medicines mean nothing. Evan himself is the true treasure! From this moment on, Roxanne is the most important member of this family-more important than all of you put together!”

In fact, he went even further and ordered, “We must treat her the way we did before-no, even better. Treat her like a living goddess! The future of the Leighton family depends entirely on her!”

By a bizarre twist of fate, the Leightons had pieced together the entire truth. The revelation struck them like rolling thunder. But unlike others, they had not had deep ties–or deep grudges-with Evan. So after the shock passed, they immediately took action. They intended to keep this unparalleled genius within the Leighton family at all costs.

If Hazel didn’t want him, plenty of others would.

“Hurry! Move! Go bring Roxanne home! Prepare the wedding dress too!”

As it happened, Roxanne returned to the Leighton Estate at that very moment.
