?Chapter 858:


    “Taylor, what nonsense are you up to now?” Louisa snapped.


    The moment her voice cut through the air, all the younger Evans family members fell silent.


    Taylor nced up at Louisa, maintaining hisid-back demeanor. “Mom, I’m just thinking it’s about time I brought you a beautiful daughter-inw.”


    This wayward son! Louisa’s jaw tightened, her temper boiling over as she scolded, “Stop messing around! Back when you should’ve been focused on your education, you refused. With how immature you are, you suddenly want to settle down? Enough of your nonsense!”


    Taylor retorted defiantly, “I’m already twenty. How am I supposed to still be immature at this age? And why can’t I think about marriage? Plenty of men have gotten married and be fathers when they were my age. You should be d I’ve met someone I like. Why can’t you just be happy for me? What kind of mother refuses to be happy for her own son?”


    “You ungrateful brat!” Louisa’s voice shook with rage as she did her best to suppress the urge to give him a sound beating.


    Taylor only grinned wider, unfazed by her anger. He waved his phone in the air, shing a photo of Lh mid-dance under the stage lights. “I know talent when I see it. If this girl entered showbiz, with her beauty and skill, she’d be an unrivaled superstar! And if she married me, we’d be the ultimate power couple, blowing every other celebrity out of the water!”


    Every word seemed to fan Louisa’s fury higher, and she started walking toward him, itching to knock some sense into his thick skull. But before she could take another step, Jason rose from his seat and strode straight toward Taylor.


    Catching Taylor off guard, Jason plucked the phone from his hand in one swift motion, his eyes narrowing as they locked on the image on the screen.


    No one could tell what Jason was thinking beneath the mask that covered half his face, yet there was no mistaking the sharp edge of excitement in the air around him.

    For as long as anyone could remember, Jason had been the Evans family’s steadfast guardian. His calm presence and unshakable discipline made him as unreadable as stone, never revealing a flicker of emotion. But today was different.


    From across the room, Bertram and Irene studied their son, curiosity written on their faces.<fn63e6> Newest update provided by F?ndNovel</fn63e6>


    Jason ignored their watchful eyes as he swiped through Lh’s photos and then opened the Ublento Medical University forum to browse the posts. Piece by piece, he assembled the story.


    Due to the extensive timeline and the overwhelming amount of information, it took him about ten minutes to sift through the relevant details.


    During this process, the room stayed quiet, every person waiting, puzzled by his unusual focus.


    Jason held a position in the Evans family second only to Cole, and his actions always drew attention. He seldom took such an interest in anyone, so when he did, it signaled something serious.


    Given Jason’s responsibility for the family’s security, his prolonged study of Lh’s details naturally led everyone to believe she might be a danger.


    Taylor couldn’t help muttering under his breath, “You’ve got to be kidding me. The first girl I actually like turns out to be some notorious criminal?”


    Although he spoke under his breath, everyone heard him, heightening the tension. Bertram’s expression turned grave as he asked, “Jason, is there something wrong?”
