Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 397: The End of Their Friendship

Julian Keaton knew that Caden Lockwood must be waiting for Evelyn Morgan at Southwood. Going there, he would definitely find Caden Lockwood.

To quickly find Cecilia Lynch’s whereabouts, Julian Keaton drove at high speed.

His chest was filled with intense guilt, yet he could only continue on the path he had chosen.

When Julian Keaton arrived at Southwood, Caden Lockwood almost arrived at the same time.

He worried that Evelyn Morgan would come early, had little mood for the meal, chatted briefly before ending it, and left everything else to Sean Ashton to handle.

Right now, nothing was more important than Evelyn Morgan.

Seeing Julian Keaton arrive, Caden Lockwood was somewhat puzzled.

"Why are you here?" Caden Lockwood asked first, with a hint of discontent in his tone.

This was supposed to be where he reconciled with Evelyn Morgan, so what was Julian Keaton doing here?

"Caden." Julian Keaton’s expression was solemn.

Looking at Caden Lockwood’s eagerly hopeful face, Julian Keaton felt even more uneasy.

Julian Keaton knew about Caden Lockwood’s feelings for Evelyn Morgan.

Although aware that his actions were wrong, Julian Keaton couldn’t afford to think too much about it in his urgency to find Cecilia Lynch.

"Stop waiting for Evelyn Morgan." Julian Keaton said in a deep voice, "She might not come. Even if she does, she..."

At this point, Julian Keaton halted his speech.

"What’s the matter?" Caden Lockwood furrowed his brows tightly, his voice elevated immediately: "Has something happened to Evelyn?"

Julian Keaton saw the surge of worry on Caden Lockwood’s face and cursed himself silently: Inhumane.

As Caden Lockwood’s best friend, was he really going to stab him in the back?

Julian Keaton knew that Caden Lockwood pursued perfection.

Once he deceived Caden Lockwood this time, even if the truth was revealed later, it would be impossible for them to rebuild any trust.

Their friendship, from this moment, might as well be over.

Years of camaraderie disappeared just like that, and Julian Keaton felt as if a heavy stone was lodged in his heart, making it hard to breathe.

"Take a look for yourself." With that, Julian Keaton handed his phone to Caden Lockwood.

On the phone was the video of Evelyn Morgan and Logan Shaw at the hotel tonight.

Caden Lockwood scrutinized Julian Keaton for a moment, then looked at the video on Julian Keaton’s phone. There was no sound, but the interaction between Evelyn Morgan and Logan Shaw was particularly clear.

Evelyn’s teary appearance was especially distressing to watch.

Caden Lockwood felt a bit dazed.

He didn’t understand, even felt angry: What was going on between Evelyn Morgan and Logan Shaw?

"I unintentionally ran into them while searching for Cece tonight," Julian Keaton’s voice was very, very soft.

In that moment, he utterly hated L.

L’s calculation was too precise—Julian Keaton was already searching the entire city for Cecilia Lynch, claiming it was accidental that he saw them; Caden Lockwood would surely not doubt it.

Moreover, the video had no sound, making it easy for those unaware of the context to overthink.

"I heard their conversation. This video was procured by someone from street surveillance." Julian Keaton paused before speaking further: "Logan Shaw confessed to Evelyn Morgan. What tormented Evelyn wasn’t that she didn’t love him, but as Mrs. Lockwood, she simply didn’t know how to love him."

Listening to Julian Keaton’s words, Caden Lockwood shuddered slightly, the last trace of a smile on his face entirely engulfed by cold darkness.

Logan Shaw had always been a thorn in Caden Lockwood’s heart, for he had heard Evelyn Morgan mention Logan Shaw personally.

Those simple words left scars as immense as an atomic bomb blast within him.
