Eva turned around when she heard the voice which was familiar to her and to no surprise, it was her former friend. She nearly burst into a fit of laughter when she saw the sight in front her.Lydia stood before her like a dignified woman with her arm crossed in front of her chest. She was surrounded by a group of beautiful women that were low and middle ranked socialites. Eva's eyes carefully trailed over the confident and supercilious women beside Lydia. She bit the bottom of her lips in order to hold back the chuckle that threatened to escape from her lips. Majority of the women before her were the women she had bad mouthed, insulted and made their life miserable back when she was still her old self. And they were all glaring at her with pure distaste, disgust and anger written all over their faces.‘Karma is really a bitch! What a battalion that had assembly before me.’ Eva thought in her mind. It was obvious that these groups of women were here to insult and ridicule as payback f
Eva's question took all the ladies by surprise when they heard her. They could all tell that she really didn't know who Jennie was because she looked extremely clueless. However, their cause of shock was the fact that after what she did to Jennie she couldn't remember her, it made the rest of the women wonder if Eva even remembered them and what she did to them.Were they really wasting their time on someone who doesn't even remember them and the things she did to them?Jennie on the other hand gritted her teeth and clenched her hand into a fist. How could Eva forget about her after what she did?“You seriously don't know who Jennie is?" Lydia asked Eva with a bewilderment, however, a sigh escaped her mouth when she saw the clueless look on Eva's face again. She knew better than anyone else that Eva's expression was genuine even though she hated to admit it but she believes that Eva didn't know Jennie. “How can you say that you don't remember me after you ruined my engagement party a
“You're one to talk. Acting all righteous when you've already fallen would definitely be the end for you. At least, I have people besides me. What about you? You've been standing here all alone by yourself and without a date. To actually think that you and Lucas Sander had something going on together like the rumors said but it turns out to be a lie.” Lydia retorted back, while crossing her arms in front of her chest. Eva didn't say anything and gently placed the glass of juice again down on the table before taking a single step closer to Lydia. “What does my relationship have to do with you? Don't tell me that you are jealous of me again?" Eva asked with a grin on her face.“W-what?! What is there to be jealous of when the rumors about you and Lucas Sander dating are false. Besides, I don't know what Lucas Sander sees in you to waste his time going on a date with someone like you.” Lydia stuttered while replying to Eva. It was obvious that she was jealous of the fact that Eva got to
“Look who's talking? Aren't you the one clearly and shamelessly mimicking Christine's style?" Eva lifted her finger and gently brushed away Lydia's bang. “Same hair, color, same jewelry, same style. You try at least to put in a little bit of effort to hide it.” Eva chuckled. She was bringing attention to the extremely familiar hairstyles that Christine had done by deliberately pushing Lydia's hair to the side. “Now that you mentioned it, Lydia's style does look like Christine's hairstyle. “ A woman whispered, startling Lydia whose face erupted red in embarrassment.It was only when Jennie glared at the woman who had spoken did she realize that Lydia had overheard her. She quickly tries to defend herself. "Lydia, I didn't mean-” Seeing that both Lydia and the other woman's attention are longer on her as they were already distracted to find her escape. She glanced down at her dress and then at the beautiful Christine who was wearing the same dress. Although, just like Jennie had said,
“Miss, please don't refuse the young master's request. I'm sure that the old master and Boss would be glad to meet you because ever since the day you helped our little master, he had been talking nonstop about you to the old master.” The man suddenly chided. He was hoping that Eva wouldn't refuse and follow them to meet the old master and his Boss.Eva raised a brow and casted the child a glance when she heard the man's word but the boy quickly turned his face away but Eva could see the tip of his ears flushing red. She didn't think she had anything much of a great deal, so why would this serious looking kid talk about her to his grandfather?“Um……Mister……..” Eva paused a bit knowing how to address the man."I apologize for the late introduction, I didn't get the chance to introduce myself last as well. My name is Benjamin Moore. You can address me as Ben, Miss." Ben quickly introduced himself to Eva when he noticed that she was struggling on how to address him.Eva nodded her head an
To him the lady standing in front of him was rather nice to accompany a child, she had no clue about who he was until the child's people arrived. Not many people would do what Eva had done for his grandson.“I was told that you had refused to accept any compensation the day you helped my grandson but you can tell me anything you want. I will grant it to you as long as that is what you want." Peter added. He was aware of the fact that the woman who had helped his grandson had refused any compensation from Benjamin.“You don't have to worry about compensating me. I have refused Mr. Benjamin that day because I have nothing to do with the compensation, besides I only helped your grandson here because I felt it was the right thing to do.” Eva politely refused the Old Master's offer to compensate her. Her expression looked serious but she made the words coming from her mouth were all polite.“I guess I haven't been too late?” A masculine voice said from behind Eva, making her turn around to
“Did you say ‘ANYTHING’ Mr. Grason?” Eva asked with a sly grin on her face, making sure to emphasize the word ‘Anything’. Her expression suddenly changed from a nice expression to an expression filled with mischief that made Nicholas, Peter, Benjamin and Miles confused. They didn't expect to see such an expression on Eva's face."Yes, I said anything you want Miss Carter." Nicholas replied, his brow tugging together into a frown. He couldn't take back what he said even though he had a bad feeling about it. “Tell me would you accept it if I ask you to marry me Mr. Grason?" Eva blurted out taking a few steps closer to Nicholas and looked up at him since he was obviously taller than her.“Miss Carter, what are you talking about? That is an outrageous request!" Benjamin who was standing behind Eva couldn't help but interject into the conversation when he heard Eva. “Why did you say that, Mr. Benjamin? Didn't your Boss clearly state that I can ask for ‘Anything' so why are you yelling?”
The Grason family have a lot more enemies target on them due to the fact that they secretly run an armory company before Nicholas took over the position as the CEO of the Grason cooperation.Eva sighed in her head, she didn't want to pry further to know what Nicholas meant by those words. After all, it was none of her business in the first place.“Are you here without a date Miss Carter?" Peter suddenly asks, making Eva turn her head towards the old man who had a soft smile on his face.“I do, Old Master. My best friend is my date but it seems like something came up so she is running late." Eva replied. She was already secretly starting to get worried why Nathalia hasn't arrived yet. “Perhaps, you mean Miss Nathalia Evan?" Nicholas questioned. Unlike his father who was clueless about what Eva's reputation in the country was, Nicholas knew that Eva wasn't a very likable person in the country and he also knew that Nathalia Evan was her only best friend. Even though Eva doesn't know him
