When Christine raised her head up, she immediately took a step back, her lips parted In shock as if not believing that she was alone with Eva in the bathroom. Seeing this, Eva crossed her arm and raised her brow. Was there a monster behind her? Why was she pretending to be surprised to see her? She knew Christine wasn't deaf nor did she have a hearing problem. Damien had announced that he was going to take her to the bathroom, so Christine should have known that she was already in the bathroom.“Sister," Christine timidly called her, her head slightly tucked to portray a demure and wholesome woman.Eva took notice of the tears and her quivering lips. She didn't need to be told what had happened. As expected, Christine wasn't strong enough to handle the insults of the crowds after Damien had harshly pointed out how distasteful her dress was. She had probably gotten torn apart by the people and once again, the female lead couldn't handle the criticism of her peers .Unlike Eva who used
Eva thought she had finally moved on from this man, but it seemed a little part of her still loves him and that tiny part still gets hurt seeing him showing so much affection he never showed her to Christine. She also deserves to be loved just like Christine.“Y-yes, I'm fine. I-I just tripped over a tissue paper on the ground.” Christine quickly replied and let out a small nervous laugh, but the lie was very obvious. “Are you sure?" Mark worriedly asked again. He beckoned one of the female bodyguards forward in case he wanted her to go and check up Christine.“Yes, so don't worry. “ Christine immediately responded.Eva sighed in her head, she was sure that she would eventually sigh her soul out of her body if she didn't stop sighing. Not able to withstand the sickly, sentimental and painful scene anymore, Eva planned to leave. However, her dress was heavy and was beginning to weigh her down which was starting to piss her off. Speaking of the dress now, Eva already had a slight sneak
“Let me give you a piece of advice. The next time you want to pull out a gun in front of someone to threaten them, I'd recommend you to get the lastest Dan Wesson DWK Pistol. It would do more damage than the useless pistol in your hand, one bullet can take down a bear if you aim properly. Once you get your hand on a weapon like that, then you can think of pointing a gun at me.” Eva remarked, her voice laced with mockery at Mark. She chuckled and brushed past him like a crazy woman.Mark blinked his eyes in shock and surprise when he heard all that Eva had said. He was surprised at the fact of when did she get so skilled at wielding a knife and now he couldn't help but wonder when she became knowledgeable in guns as well? Just who the hell was this woman who had walked past him. “Stop, where did you think you're heading?" Mark stretched his hand out with the intention to roughly grab Eva, but he was met with an arrogant expression plastered on her face.How is this possible? How come
His eyes trailed towards Eva who was secured in his arms, the jackets served as a clear warning as to whose protection she was under. He stared at her snow white skin. The more he looked at her, the more he felt the urge to end her on the spot. How dare she strut her way back into his life and tried to ruin the relationship he was trying to build with Damien? This wentch was good at nothing but ruining lives! She was bug he couldn't get rid off!Upon noticing a hard stare on her, Eva raised her head up and saw the hateful glares from Mark. She creased her brows and fiercely glared back at him.In the midst of the glaring competition between Mark and Eva, a soft, doubtful voice was enough to cut off the tick and dark tension.“M-mark…….?” Christine gently called, her voice barely above a whisper. She stood by the doorway of the bathroom, nervously holding her dress. Her eyes instantly darted between the face off between Mark who was among the list of the country's powerful men and the
His boss may be overly demanding, but he paid his workers really well. “First, he made a ridiculous order for a dress. Now he wants information about someone tomorrow morning.” Shane grumbled putting his robe back on. He gingerly grabbed his laptop and debated on the idea of tossing it out of the window.After a few minutes of internally arguing with himself, Shane let out a sigh and finally turned on his laptop. While he pitied himself all night long, he had no idea that his fiance had long fallen asleep whilst she was waiting for him. Originally she wanted to have some fun with her fiance but he had taken an entire hour to get ready and she was waiting for him patiently she dozed off within the hour he took to prep his body. Regardless, if Damien had sent him the text or not , Shane wouldn't have gotten any steamy action tonight.Back at the banquet, the people were actually stunned at the scene that unfolded before them. They were shocked at the sudden appearance of Damien Cross w
Originally, he had planned to marry Christine to Mark but it was also at the moment Eva arrived back so he decided to arrange for her and Mark together. Matthew was about to lose it when Eva was blacklisted by Mark who had called off the wedding between him and Eva on the wedding day. But later hearing that Mark had chosen Christian, Matthew was the first to abandon his eldest daughter in front of many people, he deemed her as a useless and unfilial daughter who was doomed to bring bad luck into his family like her mother.As a very old-traditional man, Matthew believed women shouldn't work in fields that were previously dominated by men. Daughters were supposed to learn the art and not to trade of business. However he made an exception for Eva because he only saw her as a tool to elevate his family so he kept pushing her into the harsh world while protecting Christine from witnessing such cruelty. While Eva had lost her father's grace, Christine basked in it. She was a graceful flow
Inside, where the banquet was still taking place. People were slowly starting to get over what happened though they still couldn't forget what happened before them.“I never knew that Evangeline knew Nicholas Grason and even Damien Cross. How did she get acquainted with them? Their relationship must have been something to have the two hot bachelors come to her rescue almost at the same time. “ Julia remarked, she couldn't help but gossip as well about the presence of both Damien and Nicholas coming to help Eva. Even though Eva was her benefactor she was quite surprised by how her benefactor was acquainted with men that are mostly spoken about among women in society.“Cousin, I thought you said that Nathalia was Evangeline's partner at the party? Isn't that why you got turned down even before you made the proposal to be her partner? “ Julia turned to look at Lucien and asked. She remembered him telling her that Eva had Nathalia as her partner when she asked why he wanted her to be his
“Everything has been taken care of?" Peter asked when he saw Nicholas walking back to where he was sitting. He watched his son take his seat with a slight frown on his face.“Yes, it has. Turns out that the whole situation was because Miss Carter bumped into her younger sister by mistake." Nicholas replied after taking his seat next to his father. He felt that wasn't reason for Mark to push and pour wine over Eva, plus even slapping her across her face. He felt extremely annoyed when he saw how red the side of Eva's face was, that was the lady that had willingly rendered her help to his son without expecting something in return.“What a stupid dimwit is , the heir of the Johnson family. Causing a scene at my party all for a useless reason! However, I noticed Damien Cross' appearance and it seemed like he has a relationship with Miss Carter? I never knew that Miss Carter is well connected to Damien Cross. “ Peter remarked, he didn't mind if people were going to hear him as he insulted M
