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
Mark frowned when you heard Nicholas' words. He clenched his hand into a tight fist as he stared at Nicholas. He knew welm about the fact that Nicholas disliked him and it was other than Eva's fault because she was the one that made him make a bad impression in front of Nicholas. “I'm sorry for what happened, but this was all my fault because Mark was just trying to protect me." Christine suddenly spoke up, defending Mark immediately when she heard Nicholas. Nicholas stared at Christine for a brief seconds before he spoke up. “ Does it look like I care if your fiance is trying to protect you or not? I only care about the fact that your fiance nearly ruined my father's birthday banquet all for a stupid reason.” Nicholas was extremely cold and dark making Christine take a step back unconsciously. Upon seeing that Christine was being overwhelmed by Nicholas' questions and words, Mark held Christine's hand before looking at Nicholas. “I understand where you are coming from, Mr. Grason
Damien used his long legs to his advantage and closed the distance between them and the black Bentley Bentayaga that was already waiting for him.Ray was completely stunned to see a beautiful woman in the arms of his master. His boss has never carried someone intimately before. He quickly claimed down out of the car to hold the door open for them.“To the nearest hospital now!" Damien ordered, immediately after after Ray entered the car. At this moment, he cared less if his driver would brake the speeding law. He didn't mind the endless ticket that might pile up from the car ride. Right now he only cared about Eva, whose breathing was heart wrenching slow.Every few seconds through out the ride, she would let out a moan of pain and the quiet noise was enough to cause prickling pain to his heart. Despite him having an expressionless look on his face, he clenched his jaw tightly and couldn't help but internally blame himself for not carefully watching over her properly.‘ How could I be
“Can you remember what she had consumed within the past three hours?” The doctor questioned, gently flipping to a page on his tabloid. “No," Damien curtly answered, staring at Eva's face.“I see. Well, according to the treatment required that we gave her, we discovered unknown certain drugs and bacteria were found in her system. The sudden occurrence of high levels of bacteria attacking her immune system might've overworked her body. The drugs found were also used as an overdose. I mean to say that one pill of that drug is considered an overdose because of the chemicals in one pill and without being monitored under medical expertise it could be highly dangerous to take these drugs alone. Plus, we didn't just find one of these drugs in her system but three pills in her system which are on a whole different level of dangerous. If she was an hour late before being brought to the hospital, she might be in a critical condition because the drugs would have circulated throughout her body by
“That will be all for now so I will be taking my leave. I will order the nurse to come back and take care of the lady." The doctor announced.Damien didn't say anything and just nodded his head before the doctor stepped out of the room. "Nightmares? Little kitten, what could be making you have nightmares? “ Damien muttered under his breath as he touched Eva's forehead with his finger . He knew it wasn't due to working late that was making her not get any sleep since she was currently jobless, so the only other opinion was her having nightmares like the doctor had said.Damien stared at Eva for a few more minutes before pulling out his cellphone.Shane, who was halfway done with the task that Damien ordered him to do, heard his phone buzzing again. He let out a groan and nearly banged his head against the laptop in front of him.(Demon king: Go through all the security cameras and see who placed something into Eva's drink. She is in a blue dress.) Shane sighed after reading the message
“No, we're not." Damien coldly replied in a dry tone. He opened the takeout boxes and placed them onto a portable table. Eva arched an eyebrow, taken aback by surprise when he placed the tiny table onto her laps so that she can eat while in bed. She stared at him like he had instantly grown five additional heads when Damien handed her a wet wipes and utensil. Why was he being so nice to her? She thought he wanted her dead. Or is this the final phrase? Is he planning to poison her to death? Eva knew that she was being optimistic at the moment. But she had no choice but to be like this because the man standing in front of her was the dangerous man in the country and based on the rumors she heard about him, he is not the kind of person to forgive his offenders easily. Unfortunately, she had happened to be in the list of his offenders, however, she was still surprised that she was alive up till today but seeing him being this nice suddenly made her worry. She would rather prefer it if he
