The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 4

Evelyn can't believe what she read.

[William Walters banished his daughter, Evelyn Walters, from the family!]

[What's the reason behind Evelyn Walters' dramatic exit from the Walters legacy?]

[The beautiful heiress Evelyn Walters: now officially broke and abandoned.]

'Dad! You are so cruel... How could you do this to your own daughter? You exposed this to the media?'

Evelyn's hand clenched tightly around the cell phone.

Just five days after she'd told her father the path she chose, today marked the last day she would bear the name, Evelyn Walters.

Not only that, but... Her father had forced her to sign a stack of documents, papers that stripped her of all rights as a member of the Walters family.

She'd even been coerced into signing an agreement that stated if she used any of the Walters' money or belongings, she'd owe an outrageous sum in damages.

And if she couldn't pay it?

She'd be thrown in jail.

And there is no way to defend herself.

...

"Miss Taylor..."

Evelyn was yanked from her storm of angry thoughts at the sound of her new name.

She could no longer use Walters.

Now she went by her late mother's surname: Taylor.

"Yes...?" Evelyn responded softly. On the outside, she looked calm. Inside, she was crumbling.

She fought hard to suppress every trace of rage, every drop of sorrow. She refused to give her father the satisfaction of knowing he'd broken her.

Her eyes fixed on Alan Wang, her father's lawyer, as he entered the room and took a seat across from her.

She couldn't believe how much he had changed. The same man who used to speak to her with warmth and respect now addressed her like a nobody, like someone too lowly to deserve his time.

"You need to sign here, Miss Taylor..."

Alan Wang said coldly, pushing the papers and pen toward her before resting his back casually and staring at her with his pitiful yet arrogant expression.

"Once you've signed everything, you'll need to return all: the phone, the car, the apartment key. Everything. You're only allowed to take this ID card… and whatever belonged to your late mother."
He pointed lazily to a small, worn-out suitcase in the corner.

Evelyn didn't bother replying. She picked up the pen and signed every page.

"Anything else?"

Alan Wang was clearly caught off guard by the calm glint in her eyes.

He cleared his throat.

"You can take this new ID... Regarding the press announcement about you, your father said he'll have the news wiped within the week. Also… he made it clear... you're no longer welcome in this city."
"I know. I'll excuse myself now, Mr. Wang," Evelyn said, her voice steady.

She left everything on the table, stood up, grabbed the old suitcase, and walked out of the room.

...

By the time Evelyn came out of the room, she saw Alicia Green, her stepmother, and Stella, her little sister, standing there, waiting for her.

They looked awful; eyes swollen and red, clear signs they'd been crying for her.

Even though she despised her father with every fiber of her being, Evelyn's feelings for Alicia and Stella had never changed.

She was genuinely grateful to have Alicia as her stepmother. The woman had always been kind and gentle with her, nothing like the cold, cruel stepmothers she'd seen in other families.

"My dear Eve…" Alicia's voice trembled. She couldn't hold back her sobs as she wrapped Evelyn in a tight embrace, crying openly. "I'm so sorry I couldn't help you… I tried to convince your father... I really did… I hate him for this…"
