This time, Evelyn almost could hear her heart beating, but she still chose to deny it. "I'm not blind. Can't I see it?" At this time, Marty held Evelyn's hand again. For a moment, Evelyn didn't know what to do, so she lowered her head and chose to avoid him. Marty was on the verge of breaking down. Why was Evelyn unwilling to admit that she had feelings for him? How difficult would it be to admit it? "Evelyn!" Evelyn had been struggling, as if she didn't want Marty to touch her at all. At this time, Jeffrey also got the news that Evelyn was hospitalized. He immediately stopped working and rushed to the hospital. In fact, although Jeffrey seemed to be a married couple with Evelyn on the surface, only he and Evelyn knew very well that their relationship was just contractual. At that time, Evelyn needed money, while Jeffrey needed a wife. So by chance, they became husband and wife, each taking what they needed.
At this time, Evelyn didn't continue to cry as she had calmed herself down. Marty's action just now had really frightened her a little. The thought of him made her heart ached. Looking at her like this, Jeffrey could roughly guess what was on her mind. He sighed inside and tried to change the topic. "Don't worry. It's alright now. But why didn't you tell me that you were in an accident? Fortunately, I got the news that you are in the hospital now. Otherwise, how would you be able to deal with the situation just now?" Although Jeffrey was worried about what happened to Evelyn just now, he still felt the need to chide her for always trying to hold back her emotions. Evelyn held the cup with her head bowed, without saying a word. Seeing this, Jeffrey knew that she needed to have some time to herself, so he did not say anything more and went out to ask the doctors about her condition. At this time, on the other side. After Marty l
Although Melodie was in a relationship with Marty before, the two of them had fallen out with each other. Marty had never slept with her nor admitted that she was his woman. He even directly pointed out her ulterior motive of approaching him in front of so many people last time. No matter how shameless Melodie was, she would still feel embarrassed sometimes. Therefore, at this time, although she could pretend that nothing had happened before, she would never be so insensible to throw herself at Marty again. Actually, Marty was not himself today. Usually, he disdained to talk to women, not to mention this person was Melodie. At this time, he actually agreed to let Melodie sit here and drink with them. It was obvious that he was already in an extremely bad mood. "Mr. Blaine, tell me what is bothering you today. I'm all ears." Melodie felt she still stood a chance as Marty did not refuse her company, so she pretended to be curious and asked
Melodie hated Evelyn even more now, but she knew that Marty only had his eyes on her. Evelyn always had a special place in his heart. In what way was Evelyn better than her? Melodie's heart was full of hatred, and she couldn't wait to tear Evelyn apart right now. At the thought of this, a glint of malice flickered in her eyes. Her smile slowly froze at the corner of her mouth. She would make sure that Evelyn paid for what she had done. St. Tropez Villa. Marty couldn't drive because he had been drinking, so he called the driver to pick him up at the bar. As soon as Marty arrived home, he was about to go to bed after resting for a while, as he had drunk a little too much today. "Mr. Blaine." At this time, the butler suddenly came up to him. "What's wrong?" Marty frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to sober himself up as much as possible. "We have some findings on the investigation you've ordered us to
After a while, Sophia suddenly chuckled and said, "I heard that Joel is the president of the Buick Group now. Oh, how I admire his way of living off a woman." "What did you say?" Amanda flew off the handle as her eyes widened in anger. She raised her hand and was about to slap her. However, her hand stopped in mid-air. With a smile on her face and two shallow dimples appeared right at the corner of her lips, she caught hold of Amanda's wrist forcefully. "Are you mad at me? It's a pity that I am not the same person I was two years ago! Besides, my mother gave me 20% of the Buick Group's shares. Regardless of Joel's high position in the company, he is still working under me. Aren't you afraid that you might cause him to lose his job by slapping me?" Amanda was stunned. How could she forget that this woman still held 20% shares of the Buick Group? If it weren't for this reason, how would she agree to her to be with Joel back then? "This lass
His gaze scanned the room and finally fell on Amanda's face. "Grandma over there, was that you?" "Grandma?" Amanda's facial expression changed slightly at the way he addressed her. Even if she was indeed older than him, can't he call her auntie? Grandma? How rude! Dumbstruck, she said, "Yes! So what if I'm the one to say it?" Roland's lips curled into a cold smile. "Quan!" In the next second, Quan appeared out of nowhere. With a "smack" sound, he slapped Amanda on the face. The people around let out an exclam and were instantly stunned by what was going on! Amanda fell to the ground because of the impact, her eyes wide open in disbelief. She couldn't come to herself for a moment. Roland's gaze was icy cold as he said loudly, "My family has always had a rule. We'll not attack unless we're attacked. You said that my wife had hit you. It will be unfair to my wife if she is accused of something that she has never done. Thus, t
Sophia was awakened by the heat. When she opened her eyes, she felt pain all over her body. There was an orange crystal lamp above her head and the shadow of its magnificent pattern was constantly twirling when reflected by the light, stinging her eyes a little. Where was this place? She darted her eyes around as she thought about it in a daze. The room was luxuriously decorated in a classic style. There was a piece of modern art hanging up on the wall. The vibrant color and lines of the painting made her feel like she was in the middle of an absurd dream. Was this a dream? She closed her eyes again, thinking, "I hope I can keep dreaming and never wake up." Sophia did not want to wake up to face such a cruel reality. After a long time, she couldn't help but tense up as soon as the sound of footsteps suddenly came to her ears. The bed slightly sank, as she felt someone had lifted the quilt and lied on the bed. Soon, the tip of her no
Even though the Buick family could be considered as a rich family in the country, they had never eaten in such a place. Sophia flipped the menu over and over again, but in the end, she gave up. She couldn't bring herself to place an order. Roland did not force her as well. He ordered some food eloquently and added, "Take out the bottle of wine that I've kept here. My wife and I are celebrating our marriage tonight." "Sure!" After the waiter left, Sophia said nervously, "Roland." Roland's facial expression darkened. "Call me honey!" Uh... Fine! Sophia had no choice but to compromise for the time being. "Well, I want to make it clear that I don't think it's necessary to marry me because we had sex. You are a man, so you're not at a disadvantage, but I don't need you to be responsible for me either. If you really feel wronged, I'll compensate you in another way. What do you think?" Roland faked a smile. "No way!" Sophia was speec
