Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 331

He couldn't just order Soren to cut ties with Evangeline or tell him he was making a mistake. So, he decided to test the waters. "Soren, I heard what happened to young Mr. Howard."

Soren just grunted in acknowledgment.

When he didn't elaborate, Liam pressed on. "Some people are saying you were behind it. Ridiculous, right? But I'm worried if the rumor spreads, people might actually believe it. Should I put out a statement to clear things up?"

"Don't bother," Soren said flatly. "I did it."

Liam's stomach dropped. He had come here hoping it was all a misunderstanding, a rumor that Poppy had taken seriously. The Soren he knew wasn't this reckless. But hearing the confession from Soren himself, any lingering hope died.

"But why? It can't be because of what he said in that group chat, can it?" Liam asked.

Soren met his eyes but remained silent.

Liam knew him well enough. Silence was an admission of guilt. He felt his mind go numb.

"Are you serious, Soren? It was just one comment. And it was about Evangeline, not Poppy."

He was divorced from her. Why was he still fighting her battles?

"Soren, the Howards might not be on the same level as the Fawkes family, but they're still a major player in Serenity City. What if they get angry and decide to retaliate?" Liam warned.

Soren considered this for a moment, then nodded. "You have a point."

He pulled out his phone and called his assistant, Gregory. Liam breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Soren had finally seen reason.

"Soren, you're about to get engaged to Poppy. After you're married, you'll be family. You should discuss these things with her," Liam tried a different approach.

Soren glanced at him dismissively. "This is business. There's no need to involve women."

Liam opened his mouth to protest, but Soren cut him off again. "Send me Evangeline's medical records from the last five years."

"Soren, why do you need those?" Liam asked, alarm bells ringing in his head.

"Don't ask so many questions," Soren said, his eyes narrowing. "Just send them. And if I find out you've hidden anything or faked any records, I'll break your hands."

He shot Liam a look so sharp and menacing that any thought of deception vanished from Liam's mind. The memory of Soren's last beating was still fresh, and he had no doubt it was a promise, not a threat.
