?Chapter 958:


    Watching the discussion spiral intoplete absurdity, Jason reached his breaking point. “I am not going to duel Cole, and I have absolutely zero interest in Lh. Anyone who utters another word of this garbage will be doing 500 push-ups!”


    Jason never made empty threats, and nobody was foolish enough to test him. The chat fell silent, like a graveyard at midnight. Reality crashed down on them—they had overthought everything and behaved likeplete imbeciles. Jason had warned Taylor to stay away from Lh because he knew about Cole’s interest in her, not because he harbored romantic designs on her. How had they all leaped to such a preposterous conclusion?


    Remembering how they’d nearly ignited a battle within the family, the younger Evans members burned with embarrassment. Even if Jason called them all idiots right now, they couldn’t quite argue. Of course, Jason was far too refined to use such crassnguage.


    However, Jeff, the family’s designated troublemaker, operated under different rules. He possessed no verbal filter, and after several moments of deathly silence following Jason’s Jason’s ultimatum distilled the entire fiasco into one devastating sentence. “Just a bunch of morons holding a moron convention!”


    On any normal day, the group would have descended on Jeff like wolves for such ament. But today, they absorbed it in shameful silence. He was, unfortunately,pletely urate.


    Just as the suffocating awkwardness threatened to be permanent, Taylor’s message zed across the screen. The instant he appeared, he reignited the entire conversation once again.


    Taylor hadn’t closed his eyes all night. His head pounded fromck of sleep, yet every time he tried to rest, anger surged through him like fire in his chest. It was as if some demon gnawed at his sanity, refusing to let him find peace. Atst, he reached for a sleeping pill, letting the drug pull him slowly into slumber. But he’d forgotten to silence his phone. The Evans family group chat wouldn’t stop buzzing, each beep dragging him back from the edge of sleep.


    He woke up groggy, his mood boiling like a volcano about to erupt. Fuming, he grabbed his phone, ready to snap. But the moment he read the group chat history, his rage turned to ice-cold terror.

    He sat bolt upright, scrolling with trembling hands, hoping he’d misread something. But no. The truth was clear—Cole and Lh were now a couple. His stomach sank as if he’d been thrown into a bottomless pit. Wherever hended, he was sure it would be hell.


    He was overwhelmed. Why did fate y such a cruel joke on him? Wasn’t Lh supposed to be some ruthless, cold-blooded she-devil? How had she ended up as Cole’s girlfriend? He had dragged her name through the mud on the Ublento Medical University forum. Now, how was he supposed to survive in the Evans family?


    Taylor screamed on the inside, his soul twisting with despair.


    The storm inside him was unbearable. If he didn’t let it out, he felt like he’d explode. He clutched his phone in both hands and typed furiously.


    The message was long, yet absurdly simple—a desperate string of words. Crude, repetitive, but it conveyed the storm raging inside him perfectly. It read, “Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking fuck! Fuck, fuck and bugger!”<fn156a> Fresh chapters posted on find~novel</fn156a>


    His textnded like a bomb, instantly derailing the group chat’s focus. No one cared about Jason anymore. Every eye turned to Taylor. The same people who had been silenced by Jason’s anger now leapt on the new drama.
