Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 796: I’d Submit to Both Greed and Lust

Chapter 796: Chapter 796: I’d Submit to Both Greed and Lust

Evelyn Linton still didn’t know that this foolishly rich benefactor was the man in the room opposite hers.

Seeing the endless stream of gift messages on the screen, gold-digger Evelyn couldn’t stop grinning and even asked, "Does this sister named ’Penny’ want to join our fan group? We’ll prioritize notifying you about any benefits or events."

But the viewer named Penny just kept sending the "999 Roses" gift and was not interacting with the streamer in the live chat.

This made the other viewers in the chat curious about this boss who only spent money but didn’t speak. Some girls started speculating, "Could it be that some big boss has taken a liking to our Evelyn?"

Upon seeing this, Evelyn jokingly said, "I’ve been streaming for quite some time now; if they wanted to, they would’ve by now. Don’t dream too much. Weren’t some sisters asking me to try on this dress? Come take a look; it’s very versatile and perfect for early spring. It goes well with both a feminine or casual style, and the material is especially comfortable and looks very high-end."

Belle, who was beside her, said, "It’s already up in the backend, but there isn’t much stock, so it’s first come, first served. Hurry, babies, grab it!"

Scott Sutton’s fingers were sore from tapping, and the water in the bathtub had gone cold.

Only then did he put his phone on the nearby shelf, stood up from the bathtub, and reached for a towel to wrap around his waist.

He grabbed a towel to dry his hair with one hand, while scrolling through WhatsApp messages on his phone with the other.

Tomorrow was the day to set out for the camping trip, and Audrey Sutton had also sent a message notifying him to meet at home at ten in the morning.

He thought he might as well treat it as a vacation and go out to relax for a while.

However, Scott Sutton wasn’t used to going to bed early, and seeing that Evelyn’s stream still had over two hours left, he drove to a bar for a couple of drinks.

He happened to run into a middle school classmate he hadn’t seen in over ten years, and as they chatted, time unknowingly slipped past midnight.

Seeing that Evelyn’s stream had ended, Scott Sutton asked a driver from the bar to take him back to the apartment.

At the apartment, after Evelyn finished her live stream, she found out that Scott Sutton seemed to have run away. She neurotically had Belle pull up the surveillance footage from the warehouse downstairs, thinking he had run away with her goods.

It wasn’t until she confirmed that Scott Sutton hadn’t taken anything when he left that Evelyn finally sighed in relief.

"Hey, Evelyn, can’t you have a little ambition? After all, he’s the young master of The Suttons. Do you really think he cares about these goods?"

Evelyn, while organizing the evening’s orders, said, "But it’s just strange, don’t you think? If he didn’t have any ulterior motives, why would he be so intent on sticking around?"

Belle chuckled, "Actually, I have a bold idea. Do you think he might like you? I suspect the boss who tipped in the stream was him."

Evelyn rolled her eyes at Belle, "Don’t talk nonsense. All you do is make stuff up all day. Come over and help me!"

Belle moved over to help organize things and said, "Don’t you have any thoughts about him? Don’t you think he’s stylish and handsome? Plus, he’s a man who comes from wealth. If you get him, we’d save twenty years of hard work. Oh, no, if you’re able to keep him completely under control, you wouldn’t have to work for the rest of your life."

Evelyn snorted, "I think going to bed now will help you dream sooner! Also, can your views not change with your whims? He hasn’t done a single good thing! Who knows what he’s plotting?"

Belle smiled dreamily, saying, "Who cares what he’s plotting, he’s so handsome; I’d let him rob me of both love and money!"

Evelyn: "You’re embarrassing! You like that sissy pretty boy with no masculinity? And..."

As Scott Sutton opened the door, he heard the latter part of Evelyn’s sentence.

His action of pulling out the key paused, and Evelyn’s words came to an abrupt stop.

Belle awkwardly glanced at Evelyn, then at Scott Sutton. She laughed foolishly, waved her hand to detach herself from the conversation, "Hehe... wasn’t me who said that. About that... it’s getting late, I need my beauty sleep. Goodnight, Evelyn!"

As Belle said this, she was already heading upstairs. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Evelyn’s words were just something she blurted out impulsively, not expecting Scott Sutton to catch them at such a bad timing.

But since she hadn’t pointed him out by name, if Scott Sutton took it personally, well, that was his issue.

Scott Sutton, without a word, retrieved the key, entered the room, gently closed the door, and stood at the entrance to change his shoes.

Evelyn herself felt that her earlier words were somewhat disrespectful, even if Scott Sutton had done many bad things. She should not attack him personally, especially with unrealistic jabs.

Moreover, seeing Scott Sutton with his back turned, not saying a word while changing his shoes, it seemed he was a bit upset.

Evelyn pursed her lips; apologizing was difficult, so she bluntly changed the subject, "Humph, I thought you’d run away!"

Scott Sutton finished changing his shoes and turned to look at Evelyn, his smile still gentle, but seemingly with a sly undertone like a fox, "I paid the rent, running away would be a boon to you."

Seeing Scott Sutton’s expression, it appeared he wasn’t actually angry, and didn’t seem that petty.

Evelyn sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, counting the orders as she spoke, "Then sit and chat, tell me why you went through so much trouble to rent here."

Scott Sutton leisurely walked over to the single sofa beside Evelyn and sat down, calmly saying, "Haven’t I already answered that question? I just happened to need a place nearby, and you just happened to..."

"Come on! You think I’ll believe that nonsense? How many ’coincidences’ do you think there are? I found it odd back then when you came right after I posted the rental ad. Now thinking about it, you were probably targeting me all along! What exactly do you want? Speak clearly!"

Scott Sutton laughed and asked in an unhurried tone, "So what do you think I want? Money? Sex?"

Evelyn frowned silently, analyzing for a moment. Clearly, neither seemed very likely.

Money was unlikely, as The Suttons didn’t lack money.

If it were about sex, that seemed implausible too. She admitted she had some looks, but if Scott Sutton were after that, with his conditions, beautiful people would be throwing themselves at him; he wouldn’t need to go through such lengths.

But after ruling out these two possibilities, Evelyn couldn’t make sense of it.

Scott Sutton continued, "So after ruling those out, why can’t you accept those ’coincidences’? I truly just needed to rent a place nearby for a while. It’s that simple, and as for why I deviously tricked you initially, it wasn’t intentional. To express my apologies, I’ve decided to cover water and electricity bills for these three months during my stay. Would Miss Linton agree to that?"
