"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
Everyone was shocked to see that Christine had raised up her hand and was about to slap Lucien on the face. They were unable to hear what Lucien had told Christine to make her want to slap him but her actions were interrupted by Eva.“Why are you suddenly getting aggressive Christine? I thought you were not known for violence. Besides, Lucien hadn't spoken anything wrong for you to slap him. All he said was the truth.” Eva remarked as she glared at Christine coldly making her shiver upon seeing Eva's cold look.“I-I" She stammered not knowing what to say.“Didn't you steal this insane jerk from me? Are you going to deny it?" Eva asked, her cold aura increasing each second as she still held onto Christine's hand. Everyone stared at Eva like she was crazy. No, she was crazy! How can she openly accuse Christine for stealing Mark from her when she was the one clearly made Mark call off the wedding by slapping Christine across the face. There was a probability that she could still Mrs. Jo
When the sound of his expensive leather shoe clacked on the floor in the murmuring hall, the people's eyes went wide as they became quiet. Strolling into the room with his black three-piece suit, dark red tie and his hand resting comfortably in his pocket, was none other than Damien Cross.His dark deadly aura was hard to miss, and the furious look on his eyes was enough to send the people shaking in their spot. They all gulped in fear when his dark black eyes trailed around the room. The people held their breath and shivered at the sudden drop of the temperature. Weren't the heaters turned on to the highest temperature? Why was it so chilling here?The wind fluttered and the black coat draped over Damien's broad shoulder made him look like an emperor and god of war. The women in the crowds couldn't help but gasp at how handsome despite the terrifying aura that emitted from him. The people watched as his long legs carried him towards the x eater of the hall where Eva was standing, st
Damien stared at her quietly. He still found her beautiful despite the wine poured over her head and the red streaks on her face.“What is it?" Eva questioned, noticing his pressing stare on her.“Let's get you all cleaned up." He said, wrapping his arm around her to guide her towards the bathroom when his gaze landed on Lucien who was glaring at him not in hostility but in a way like he was trying to figure out something from Damien.“No, I just want to return to my home." Eva shook her head and quickly said. She doesn't wish to stay in this suffocating birthday banquet anymore.“I will take you home as soon as you get cleaned up.” Damien reassured her, upon seeing how soft and calm she had become. What happened to the strong, powerful, feisty and stubborn woman he had made a few days ago? Despite thinking that, he quite liked this side of her as well. He didn't have to argue too much with her before she agreed to one simple thing. However, her vulnerable and painful expression seeme
