The Perfect Heiress’ Biggest Sin Novel

Chapter 20 Before , Evan would have retaliated without hesitation .

But now , he merely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and swallowed the humiliation .

His voice was low as he said , I dont want to fight you , Jarrett .

Ill give you whatever you want if you ask Josie to forgive me .

Jarretts expression darkened instantly .

A flash of disbelief crossed his face .

Josie , hes … your ex ? Joselyns face paled .

Meanwhile , Evan turned to Jarrett again , lowering himself even further .

Let me be with her , Jarrett .

Ill give you anything .

Just let me have her .

jarretts eyes grew even colder .

Without warning , he landed another punch straight to Evans face .

Evan didnt fight back .

He just took the hit silently .

Jarrett tackled him to the ground .

He slammed into Evans face over and over as if trying to beat every ounce of rage out of his body .

Evans friends finally couldnt stand by any longer .

Thats enough ! Youre gonna kill him at this rate ! Youll lose your future brother in law ! Jarrett let out a cold laugh .

His voice dripped with mockery .

Brother in law ? Him ? Does he even have the right ? Then , he reached into his pocket and pulled out an invitation , tossing it at Evans chest .

Evan picked up the invitation and opened it .

The moment his eyes landed on the words , his face became deathly pale .

Written on the card were the words , Youre cordially invited to Joselyn and Jarretts wedding .

Evans mind went blank with a deafening buzz , as if hed been struck by lightning .

He shot to his feet and asked shakily , The groom … Jarrett , what the hell is this supposed to mean ? Jarretts expression remained emotionless .

His voice was chillingly even .

Exactly what you think it means .

Im not Josies biological brother .

I love her , and Ive been pursuing her for the past month .

She likes me too .

Evan felt like something inside him had been ripped apart .

The pain was so intense , he could barely stay on his feet .

He looked at Joselyn , despération creeping into his voice .

Josie , tell me this is fake .

For the love of God , tell me this is fake ! But she met his gaze and enunciated each word clearly , Its not fake , Evan .

Its real .

I fell in love with Jarrett , the man you hate most .

Are you satisfied now ? With that , she slipped her fingers into Jarretts hand and walked away .

When Evan saw Joselyns and jarretts fingers tightly intertwined , his eyes were filled with disbelief .

Evans friends were equally stunned .

They widened their eyes in shock and muttered under their breaths , Holy shit .

What the hell just happened ? My brain cant process this .

The sheer shock of the situation was written all over their faces .

But for Evan , it wasnt just shock Jealousy burned fiercely in his heart , while regret and pain surged to an unbearable peak .

He couldnt believe it .

The woman whod been closer to him than anyone else was now standing beside his worst enemy .

By the time his mind caught up , Joselyn and Jarrett were already walking toward the car , ready to leave .

Just as the car was about to pull away , Evan lunged forward , gripping the edge of the window so tightly his knuckles turned white .

Desperation , burned in his eyes .

His voice , hoarse and raw , tore from his throat .

You love me , Josie ! I know you do ! How the hell could you fall for someone else ? Tell me ! Tell me why ! Inside the car , Joselyn lifted her gaze .

Then , with a hint of mockery in her voice , she asked , Evan , do you really think you deserve an explanation ? You used me .

You hurt me .

You even tried to humiliate me with those videos .

And now , you actually think Id forgive you ? A sharp pain clenched in Evans chest , stealing his breath .

His mind spun , a whirlwind of chaos .

Her words echoed in his ears , each one cutting deeper than the last .

Josie … babe … I was wrong .

People make mistakes , dont they ? Shouldnt I get the chance to make things right ? Please , dont do this .

Dont leave me .

Dont go with him .

Dont love him .

There was a pleading edge to his voice now .

His grip on the window tightened as he refused to let go .

Its over between us , Evan .

Let me go .

A loud buzz filled Evans mind , like something inside him had just shattered .

And in that fleeting moment of distraction , the car suddenly drove away .

He stood there , watching the taillights fade into the distance .

He felt like his heart had been ripped away from him .

Then , in the next second , he bolted forward like a madman , chasing after the car .

Hed never imagined he would go this crazy over a woman to the point that he was willing to cast aside all his pride and dignity just to get her back .
