Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 133: Wait Until You’re Pregnant, Then Come Back...

Getting off the car, Evelyn hesitated for a moment as she looked at James Lockwood not far ahead before stepping up to him.

Just as she was about to greet him, James Lockwood walked straight into the villa without even glancing in Evelyn’s direction.

Evelyn stood awkwardly, clenching her fists, glancing at the setting sun in the west before following him inside.

In the study, James Lockwood sat while Evelyn stood. He was imposing and cold, and she appeared obedient and sensible, creating a stark contrast in their demeanor.

"How much money will it take for you to leave?" James Lockwood went straight to the point.

Evelyn was taken aback, "Money?"

"I’ve heard about your situation," James Lockwood’s tone was icy and merciless, "Aren’t you just trying to swindle some money from Caden and then live happily ever after with that little boyfriend of yours? I’m willing to fulfill that desire for you right now. A hundred million, is that enough?"

Evelyn’s eyes widened.

A hundred million!

"You’ve misunderstood!" she hurried to explain, "That’s not my boyfriend, that’s someone who deliberately set me up! He’s trying to use me to get a sum of money, which is why he’s deliberately slandering me!"

"I’m not interested in the matters between you and them," James Lockwood narrowed his eyes, "Originally, I wouldn’t give you a single cent, but spending time with a gold-digger like you is already wasting so much of my potential earnings!"

Evelyn pouted, thinking how similar James Lockwood and Caden were in their tone!

Both were so endlessly arrogant, not caring what the other actually thought.

No wonder they are father and son!

"I’m not after The Lockwood Family’s wealth," Evelyn softly said, "I just..."

"Is a hundred million too little for you?" James Lockwood interrupted Evelyn, "Do you think you can demand more just because I made the first offer?"

"I truly haven’t..."

"Greed will only leave one with nothing in the end," James Lockwood’s tone was full of warning and threat.

Evelyn’s lips curved subtly. This wealthy man, when judging another, couldn’t he at least listen to what the other party had to say?

Yet frustratingly, she couldn’t confidently claim that her relationship with Caden was purely out of love.

"I know you don’t like me," Evelyn’s voice remained small, "In your view, I don’t have an extraordinary family background, not born with a silver spoon, just a poor girl from a family you disdain."

She paused and then continued, "However, I don’t think I’m any worse than those heiresses. Whether you like me as your daughter-in-law is your choice, but please don’t demean my character just because you think I’m not good enough for your son."

"Making such big statements is not just something you can say casually," James Lockwood sighed, "How many proper family children marry without first getting parental consent and blessings before registering? But you, afraid of my objection, go ahead and register with Caden first. You’re quite adept at this ’act first, report later’ tactic. Planning to get pregnant next to force my hand?"

Listening to James Lockwood’s sarcasm, the smile Evelyn tried to maintain gradually faded.

She felt so wronged!

She hadn’t known about the marriage much earlier than James Lockwood!

It’s all Caden’s fault!

Now, she’s thoroughly painted as a sinner! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Opening her mouth, she mulled over what would be best to say.

Yet racking her brains, she couldn’t think of a good explanation.

"Name your price," James Lockwood’s gaze stopped on the check, "How much do you want?"
