Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250 The Last Time in This Lifetime 

Over there, Evelyn was lying on her living room sofa, leisurely eating peanuts while 

watching TV. 

Out of the blue, she received a call from Joseph, listening in a daze as he spoke at length 

on the other end. 

It wasn’t until Joseph finished speaking that Evelyn responded with a puzzled expression, “Mr. Black, I’m not going to Richmond. My parents just returned from abroad these past few days, and I’m taking time off to stay at home with them.” 

Mina, who was nearby, overheard her on the phone and immediately came closer, her 

face full of curiosity as she whispered, “Your boss? 

Is the boss a man? What’s going on? You just took a two-day break, and now someone’s showing concern for you?” 

Evelyn awkwardly pushed her mother, signaling her not to speak recklessly. 

From over there, Joseph’s voice could be heard. “Ah, so you’re bringing your parents to Richmond. Alright, alright, just give me a call when you arrive. I’ll be the host and treat 

you and Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore to dinner.” 

Mina moved closer, and as she heard the conversation on the phone, her mouth. stretched into a grin that almost reached the sky. 

Look at that, we even have to treat them to a meal. 

Can this just be a simple superior-subordinate relationship? 

Can this be a pure relationship between a boss and an employee? 

Evelyn couldn’t understand whether Joseph had a problem with his ears or if there was something off with his mind. 

She was about to explain further, insisting that she wouldn’t go to Richmond, and her parents definitely wouldn’t go either. 

Over there, Joseph continued on his own, “You should come over earlier, as I have some documents that need to be given to Mr. Green. You can pick them up when you come.” 

After celebrating the New Year, Evelyn decided to stay in Oceanview City. 

1/6 

There is a branch of Jingron in Oceanview City, and the branch manager is Kennedy. Joseph has arranged for Evelyn to work as Kennedy’s secretary. 

In the blink of an eye, it was already May, and Evelyn had been by Kennedy’s side for 

several months now. 

Joseph is now assigning a task to Evelyn, asking her to pick up documents for Kennedy. 

Evelyn could no longer refuse, so she could only agree. “Alright.” 

Not long after hanging up the phone, Mina had already packed her suitcase and, full of enthusiasm, she dragged Max over to hurry her along. 

“Let’s go! I’ve already bought the tickets, so let’s head to Richmond right now!” 

Evelyn had a headache and said, “Mom and Dad, what are you doing? I’m just going to pick up a few documents, and I’ll be back soon.” 

Mina, with a “I don’t buy it” expression on her face, said, “Come on, stop acting. Which boss would personally call you this late at night, asking you to go out of town to pick up some documents? 

Just find someone to bring this document over, what’s the relationship between you two? No need to hide anything!” 

Evelyn held her forehead and said, “Mom, please stop imagining things. He’s my boss, my direct superior, and he’s worth over 20 billion dollars. He’s already married. You’re giving your daughter way too much credit.” 

Mina looked impatient, “Stop pretending, just go now. Mom has arranged so many blind dates for you lately, and you don’t like any of them. You must be secretly hiding someone. This time, when we go to Richmond, let’s just treat it as a vacation for mom 

and dad!” 

Evelyn had given in, and there was no stopping her. All she could do was awkwardly bring her parents along and fly to Richmond. 

By the time we arrived at the airport on the other side, it was already late at night. 

Evelyn wasn’t familiar with Richmond and was worried about whether she would be able to find a taxi in the early hours of the morning. 

As soon as she arrived at the airport lobby, she happened to see Adrian walking toward 

At this time, the airport wasn’t very crowded, making Adrian quite noticeable as he walked over. 

Adrian, with his tall stature, exudes an extraordinary aura even in a simple shirt. 

Mina excitedly asked Evelyn, who was beside her, “Look over there, is that your boss?” 

Upon taking a glance, Max couldn’t help but exclaim, “This young man is truly outstanding!” 

Is there a crack in the ground I can crawl into? Someone, please save me. 

She was puzzled, wondering how there could be such a coincidence in the world. 

At one in the morning, who would have thought I’d bump into Adrian at the airport? 

Is his private jet just for show? Why does he have to wait until 1 a.m. to board? 

Adrian walked straight over to them, greeting Max and Mina with exceptional politeness and elegance. 

“Hello Mr. Moore, hello Mrs. Moore. Joseph mentioned that you would be coming, so he specifically asked me to pick you up. I hope I’m not late?” 

Mina’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him, too excited to even speak. 

Max asked with a smile, “We just arrived too, who is Joseph?” 

Adrian promptly replied, “It’s Evelyn’s boss, Jingron’s supervisor.” 

As he spoke, he effortlessly took the suitcase from Evelyn’s hands. 

“Allow me. 

Mina understood what was going on. 

The boss of his own daughter arranged for this gentleman to pick them up. 

At this late hour, well past midnight, the gentleman was still helping his daughter carry 

her suitcase. Their closeness was evident. 

Mina subtly pulled Max back a bit, signaling him to step behind, giving her daughter

and Adrian some Intimate space for their long-awaited reunion. 

Evelyn was forced to walk ahead with Adrian, gritting her teeth and lowering her voice, “What do you mean?” 

Adrian’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just perfect for Mina, who was 

eavesdropping from behind, to hear. 

“What do you want to talk about? Let’s discuss it slowly when we get back. The 150 million dollars betrothal gift you mentioned, I have it all prepared and will give it to Mr. and Mrs. Moore later.” 

Upon hearing this, it couldn’t be more obvious to Mina – they were already together. 

Just, a 150 million dollars betrothal gift? When did my daughter become so bold to ask 

for this? 

Well, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a betrothal gift or not. In the end, it’ll still be used for our daughter and son-in-law, like buying a house or a car. 

It took Evelyn quite a while to react, “What? I was just talking nonsense!” 

However, a 150 million dollars betrothal gift is indeed quite a lot. It would take her many years to earn that much. 

Should I say it or not? Has this narcissist really prepared for the worst-case scenario? 

She tilted her head, looking at Adrian curiously, “You really brought it?” 

For a rare moment, Adrian restrained his prideful expression and took out a card from his wallet, handing it to Evelyn. 

Evelyn reached out to take a look, but after some thought, she realized that even if she looked, she wouldn’t know how much money was inside. 

Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Adrian had already placed the card in her palm and, along with the card, held her hand. 

“Money and goods exchanged simultaneously, don’t try to cheat.” 

Evelyn’s ears turned red, and she shook her head a few times, but couldn’t shake off his 

hand. 

Tune in 

Deborah and Joseph’s wedding was scheduled for Independence Day. 

When Ashton saw the news, he was in a hospital room. 

Ever since the bone marrow transplant and tumor removal surgery, his body has been 

recovering poorly. 

The doctor advised that after surgery, one should avoid smoking and alcohol, as well as 

staying up late. 

But he couldn’t do any of it. 

The lung cancer has recurred, and not only that, he has also been diagnosed with severe 

depression. 

Jeff advised him to cooperate with the treatment, and to heal step by step, slowly and
