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
“Even still, you have to have a close relationship with someone before inviting them, young master." Eva replied with a small sigh escaping her mouth.“Then let's be friends. That way we can quickly become closer so that I can invite you to my house." Miles immediately suggested when he heard Eva.‘This brat doesn't take ‘No’ for an answer.’ Eva thought.“Alright, we can be friends and once we have become very close friends you can invite me over to your house. So let's seal our new friendship, young master." Eva agreed and reached out her hand for a handshake.“You can call me Miles, big sister, since we are friends now." Miles said and also stretched out his little hand and shook Eva's hand. The two of them had no idea that they were being watched closely by the three men. Peter had a satisfied smile on his face as he watched his grandson making friends with Eva in front of him. Immediately he set his eyes on Eva he had a good feeling about and it turns out that he wasn't disappoint
Nicholas only glanced at Benjamin who immediately understood what his boss' gaze meant and began to give the report about Eva to the old Master. After a few minutes of explanation, Peter's brain was already filled with enough information about Eva's past. He couldn't believe that someone like Eva who was so Intelligent and reserved could have such a nasty personality and past. “Still, her past doesn't have anything to do with the way I view her. She is so different from what I've just heard and if she had truly done those things then there must be a reason why she was like that. And the incident on her wedding day with Mark Johnson was something that I wasn't aware of. How could that jerk let go of such a remarkable woman like Miss Carter." As expected, Peter couldn't believe all the things he heard about Eva leeching off her sister and other sort of stuff. He would have believed them if Eva had jumped at the opportunity to get close to them but she had blatantly refused the opportun
"What do you mean she didn't do it on purpose. If she was the kind to hurt you in public nine months ago, what made you so assured she isn't doing the same again. I've told you Christine that she is not someone that deserves to be called your sister.” Mark spatted out angrily. He was referring to how Eva had slapped Christine in public on the wedding day.Eva's face suddenly turned into a scowl when she heard him and with all her might ignoring the pain that caused her, Eva quickly roughly pulled her hand . “Seriously, what is the need to be so melo- dramatic? Did you think you two are a cute couple or what? You're just being narrow- minded and throwing tantrums. It's not like her hand is broken on something, she can just wash her hands. A wine spilled over her hand and you're about to bring the whole building down, stop making a big deal over small issues.” Eva remarked while glaring back at him, totally in disregard to the way he was looking and staring at her like she was someone
“Haha! That crazy wench can never be Christine, even if she tried! With such a bad and spoiled attitude, there's no way she can match up to the kind and innocent Christine.”“ I can't believe that she came here dressed like that. Shameless!”" Of course what do you expect, she has always been shameless her whole life!”" It's not a surprise Mark had abandoned her. What a terribly embarrassing woman." As expected, the people were quick to jump fad to humiliating Eva. They were oblivious to know that the dress had been randomly sent to Eva. They were aware that she was completely innocent here. Eva got a wake up call when she felt the biting cold cold. It was as if someone had opened the window because it wasn't cold before. Laughter erupted in the room and Eva began to shake at the memory of what happened some months ago. In the same similar style, except the fact that the previous incident was her wedding banquet. She was on the ground in the same position just like her in her weddi
“What? Why would I hold grudges against someone who hadn't offended me and she is someone who had helped my life?” She quickly turned to look at Lucas with a raised brow ." How did you know her, Julia?” Lucas asked when he heard his cousin reply." She was my senior back when we were in school and she had always protected me whenever I was bullied back then. Even when I decided to become a model she was my role model and mentor as well. Although I'm sure that she was aware that her little help towards me had helped me so much. Her influence in the modeling company had helped me to stop getting bullied by other models. I know that Evangeline has a weird way of talking and she was not a very likable person due to her personality. However, if only the people spent half of the time they used to talk ill about her and try to understand her from another perspective, they would be surprised to know that she wasn't entirely as evil as they painted her.” Julia replied, her eyes and voice fill
He waved his hand, signaling him to stop. He was quite surprised at first when he saw that Eva was the person who was being bullied in public just a few minutes after she left their side. Peter became curious and wanted to see where the situation was going to end, plus he wanted to witness Eva in action and see if the rumors about her were true or not.“Who are those people with Miss Carter?” Peter suddenly asked Benjamin. Among the people standing at the scene, he could only recognize Eva who was on the ground. " The young man standing in front of Miss Carter is Mark Johnson - the heir of the Johnson family and the woman standing behind him wearing a dress similar to the one Miss Carter is also wearing is Christine Carter- she is Miss Carter younger step-sister. Mark Johnson is also Miss Carter's ex-fiance who had dumped her on their wedding day and chose to get engaged with her younger sister instead.” Benjamin quickly gave a report to Peter as well as Nicholas who was listening to
When Eva heard Mark's words she could help but scolded herself for getting so scared and terrified when she hadn't done anything wrong. She had undergone a lot of training to overcome this kind of scenario, why was she on the floor like a wounded puppy. Her grandfather who she disliked so much and her uncle who she tried to draw a line between them would be so disappointed if they were to see her being so pathetic. Not to talk of her late mother. What about Nathalia? What would her best friend who wasn't here at the moment say if she heard about this.“You stupid, pea brain bastard……!” Eva slowly muttered gently under breath, but her voice carried a lot of pressure. She stood up within seconds, startling Mark and the crowds. They had expected her to be weak and cry on the floor, then get dragged out by the security. They never expected her to quickly compose herself in a matter of seconds.Mark was slightly taken aback because that was the first time Eva had sweared at him, not even w
