Unstoppable General

Chapter 3

Hearing the scream, the Reeve family members opened the door hurriedly and came out.

"Who is it?" Samantha, Evelyn's mother, walked in front, feeling both scared and angry. When she looked at the doorway, she looked as if she had seen a ghost and exclaimed in shock, "You... You're Gavin? Weren't you dead long ago?"

"Yes, Samantha! It's me! I'm back." Gavin showed a gentle smile. This time back, the classified information about the Middle East secret mission was still not declassified, so he couldn't explain much. He just wanted to make it up to Evelyn.

"Get lost, you worthless piece of trash!" Samantha finally confirmed that the man in front of her was Gavin. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Do you know how much suffering and trouble you've caused Eve?"

Daniel, Evelyn's father, stepped forward and raised his hand to hit Gavin, cursing, "I'll kill you, you goddamn bastard!"

At that moment, David, who was behind Gavin, grabbed Daniel's wrist and said coldly, "If this slap lands on this gentleman's face, you will die!"

David, with his burly build and fierce appearance, looked extremely intimidating. Daniel took a step back, looking terrified.

"Get away!" Gavin's voice was cold, and his gaze pierced through David like a dagger.

Although David was very angry, he would not disobey Gavin's orders. He could only let go and say, "I'm sorry, sir!"

At this moment, Gavin released a bit of his aura inadvertently, which made Daniel and Samantha realize how powerful Gavin was. But this feeling was fleeting, and they quickly affirmed that Gavin was still the loser they knew. But David's earlier intimidation was still very effective.

"You useless piece of trash! Why are you coming back now? Can you make up for the sins of the past five years? Can you repay what you owe my daughter?" Daniel cursed angrily. If it weren't for the fear of that burly man just now, he would have beaten Gavin up.

Gavin listened to these words without getting angry. He knew he owed Evelyn a lot.

"Since you're back, you can clear Evelyn's name tomorrow. Eve never hired a hitman to kill you! It was all a conspiracy by you and those tycoons," Samantha said resentfully.

Daniel followed, "That's right. As soon as Evelyn returns, we will immediately release a statement. Once our little Evelyn clears her name, she can marry Mr. Crane!"

"Then the Reeve family can truly become a prestigious family!" Samantha said proudly. "If it weren't for Mr. Crane, Eve would still be in prison. Mr. Crane is our savior!"

Gavin's eyes turned cold when he heard this. 'Marry?' he repeated inwardly.

"Is Evelyn getting married?" Gavin asked seriously. 'The woman I missed every moment in the military camp is going to marry someone else?' At this moment, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

After some careful thought, Gavin realized that disappearing for five years would be unfair to Evelyn. If she wanted to marry someone else, it would be understandable. Her happiness was all that mattered.

"Someone, bring him in here and keep an eye on him!" Samantha ordered the servants. But Gavin's imposing presence made them too scared to approach.

Gavin took a deep breath and walked into the house. No matter what, he had to see Evelyn and explain everything face to face.

Entering the villa, Gavin saw a large banquet table in the center of the living room, already filled with Samantha's relatives. Among them was a stranger, a young man dressed in designer clothes, with a custom Rolex on his wrist, chatting with the others enthusiastically.

On the table was a large cake, suggesting it was someone's birthday. But as far as Gavin remembered, neither Daniel, Samantha, nor Evelyn had a birthday today. He wondered whose birthday it was.

"Oh, isn't this guy the damn bastard Gavin? How did he come back?"

"Gavin? Didn't he disappear five years ago? Evelyn's life has been miserable because of his disappearance."

"Perfect timing. Now the charges of Evelyn hiring a hitman can be dismissed!"

"Yeah, and Mr. Crane won't have to waste time defending Evelyn in court. We can proceed with the wedding ceremony."

"Why did this piece of trash come back now? Mr. Crane has already hired the best legal team for Evelyn. Is he here to blackmail us?"

"He wouldn't dare! He's just a loser. Mr. Crane could crush him easily!"

Samantha's relatives were furious, wishing they could kill Gavin right then and there to let Evelyn marry Xavier.

Xavier seemed unaware of their loud voices, looking at Samantha and asking, "Mrs. Reeve, who is this?"

Samantha sneered and looked at Gavin with disdain. "He's Evelyn's useless husband who disappeared for five years and caused Evelyn's legal troubles! Now that he's back, there's no need for a trial. They can get divorced immediately. This way, your marriage to Evelyn won't be delayed, Mr. Crane."

Samantha made no effort to hide her intention of having Evelyn divorce Gavin. She proudly added, "Gavin, do you know who this gentleman is? He's Mr. Crane, the eldest son of the esteemed Crane family. In a few years, he'll inherit the family business. If you dare to cause trouble, Mr. Crane will kill you!"

"One is the future head of the wealthy Crane family, and the other is a worthless nobody. They are worlds apart."

"Although Evelyn suffered five years ago, now she's blessed by Lady Luck."

"Yeah, marrying Mr. Crane will bring happiness to Evelyn."

The relatives at the table all chimed in, each trying to curry favor with Xavier by stepping on Gavin.

A cold glint flashed in Gavin's eyes.

Xavier, feeling pleased, leaned back in his chair, swirling a glass of red wine, and stared at Gavin mockingly. "Did you come back because you knew your plot failed and you couldn't beat me? Where have you been hiding for the past five years?"

Gavin glanced at him. "The Middle East."

"The Middle East? Isn't that a war zone? You must have deserted and come back, huh? Hahaha..." Before Xavier could respond, a relative burst into laughter, and the others joined in.

Gavin didn't bother to argue—these people weren't worth his explanation.

"I'll give you one option—confess who was behind you, and then go to prison!" Xavier bellowed.

Gavin remained silent.

Feeling humiliated, Xavier said angrily, "I'm talking to you, asshole! Didn't you hear me?"

At that moment, someone at the door shouted, "Ms. Reeve is back."

Gavin's heart skipped a beat. 'Is it Evelyn?' he wondered. He looked toward the door nervously, hoping to see the face he had longed for day and night.
