Chapter 57
“I’ll give you one night.” He looked down at his watch. “Tomorrow at 9 AM, you bring Eva to the door of the Stain family on your own.”
He didn’t clarify what would happen after that.
But Hannah had been married to him for four years, and before that, she had always cared for and
understood his means.
This man was always ruthless and indifferent towards his opponents.
After Ryder finished speaking, he turned his back and left.
His figure was indifferent and cold.
Hannah watched his departing figure, a cold smile fleeting across her face.
How could she have liked him?
“Ryder came to see you regarding Eva’s custody, right?”
It wasn’t until after they finished eating, when Eva had gone to her room, that Fredrica asked about
the matter.
Hannah nodded, feeling heavy–hearted.
She recounted what Ryder had said before leaving.
“Damn it!”
Upon hearing Ryder’s threat to Hannah, Fredrica couldn’t help but curse.
“This guy probably thinks everyone in the world is good except for you, who he can’t forgive!”
She became furious and scratched the table as if scratching Ryder.
“In this matter, a little investigation would reveal who is right and wrong. Ryder’s blind stubbornness is truly astonishing.”

“If we had known earlier, it would have been better to never pay attention to him from the beginning, to let him remain in the dark.”
“Blindness is not terrifying, but blind stubbornness has no cure!”
Fredrica looked at Hannah, his eyes filled with sympathy.
Few people knew that Hannah actually had only one eye, and the remaining eye had poor vision.
In the past, because of this sinful man, she had made sacrifices that ordinary people couldn’t imagine!
Fredrica knew that bringing up the past would hurt Hannah, so he finally stopped and held her hand, “What are you planning to do now? Do you have a plan?”
When a lawsuit begins, the agreement Hannah held in her hand would have little value.
At first, Hannah had Pamela sign the agreement simply because she understood that Pamela valued her reputation, and once she had signed the document, retracting her commitment would be too humiliating.
She had calculated everything but had overlooked Ryder.
He had agStain to let her take the child, but now he had changed his mind.
Hannah remained silent, and Fredrica couldn’t understand her thoughts:
“In my opinion, if he wants to take you to court, let’s go ahead and sue! We have evidence in hand, why fear not defeating those dogs?” Fredrica decisively said, taking out his phone to call a lawyer.
“No!” Hannah quickly grabbed his hand. “Don’t sue.”
“Hannah, it’s not a question of whether we want to sue or not now, but rather that Ryder will definitely sue us!” Fredrica reminded her.
Then he felt heartbroken.
“I understand, you don’t want to confront him in public, you don’t want your love to end in that way.”
After those soul–wrenching experiences, not everyone could endure it.

“I don’t care how my love ends, but Eva can’t.” Hannah said, her tone even colder. “She doesn’t need to stand between us, fought over by others.”
“Therefore, we can’t take Eva to court.” She had made up her mind.
“But if that’s the case, we can only give up Eva,” Fredrica expressed his concerns again.
“We won’t.”
Hannah patted his hair and pulled Fredrica closer, whispering in his ear…
“Brother, is it true? Today, will Hannah really bring Eva back?”
In the Stain household, Diana had just learned this news and hurriedly sought out Ryder for
confirmation.
Ever since Pamela’s dark expression finally returned to normal, she went to Diana and said, “Your brother hasn’t gone to work all morning just to wait for Eva. What could it be?”
“That’s fantastic!” After receiving the confirmation, Diana was so overjoyed that she seemed like she wanted to jump up.
Jenny wasn’t joking; she was indeed talented.
Diana had decided to use Eva to punish Hannah.
She wanted to make her suffer, to the point where she would kneel down and beg for forgiveness!
Pamela lowered her gaze to her watch. “It’s time.”
She didn’t think much about punishing Hannah, but the truth was that Hannah had forced her to sign the agreement, which made her uncomfortable.
And with Eva carrying the Stain name and getting lost, it was like a slap in the face to their family.
The three of them were talking when butler Alex stepped in. “Madam, sir, young miss, Miss Hannah
has arrived.”
Upon hearing that I had arrived, the three of them stood up and left the room simultaneously.
I stood there outside.
Too late

Today, I was wearing a white dress, fair as snow, with a radiant face.
In such a state, I knew I looked magnificent, in stark contrast to the previous me at the Stain household, always quiet and poorly dressed.
Even more so, I was no longer the same as before.
Diana caught sight of my image and lowered her head slightly.
It had to be acknowledged that I had changed a lot after the divorce, not only in style and demeanor, but also in appearance.
Behind me, I could sense Diana biting her lip. “Having a man to support you really makes a difference, look at her now, even though her dressing style has changed.”
I showed no expression, but Diana, at times rigid and stiff, had a terrible look on her face.
Ryder glanced over, his voice strained. “That’s enough!”
To say such a thing would mean losing the Stain family’s honor and looking down on Ryder because he didn’t support a woman!
Diana realized she had said something she shouldn’t have and quickly closed her mouth.
I smirked, a hint of sarcasm appearing.
Even the members of the Stain family knew that they had treated me poorly.
“Where is Eva?”
Ryder impatiently asked.
He walked around and didn’t see any sign of Eva.
“Eva won’t come here,” I calmly replied.
Ryder’s face turned angry upon hearing the answer, and as he looked at me, the same disdainful expression that used to be on his face resurfaced. “Did you think hiding Eva would prevent me from doing anything? How naive!”
I merely chuckled.

Truly, what Ryder wanted to scold me for was foolishness.
“What do you want to do?”
Initially, I had wanted to say something else, but upon hearing this question, I suddenly felt concerned.
“Of course, I will find a lawyer to take you to court, so from now on, you will never see Eva again!”
Diana couldn’t contain her tone.
My smile grew even more sardonic.
Although I was smiling, in my eyes, a profound sense of sadness emerged.
Finally, I looked directly at Ryder. “Is that so?”
My resolute gaze clearly defined that I would definitely get an answer.
Ryder looked into my eyes and saw the teardrops trembling in my memories.
His heart ached.
But only for a few seconds.
Immediately, he nodded. “Yes!”
For a woman who only knew how to play manipulative games like me, this was the best way to punish me!
“You’re so ruthless,” I murmured, my voice filled with pain and helplessness.
Ryder laughed coldly. “Just like your calculations four years ago, I have been generous enough!”
“Calculations four years ago?” I asked again, surprised that he would bring up that matter.
My eyes grew colder. “Ryder, why do you still see yourself as the victim?”
