"You’re truly my best friend," Evelyn joked with Selena, then smiled wryly."With my reputation, which man would dare to have me? Not to mention love at first sight."That incident from two years ago had already tarnished her reputation in Detroit, making her wonder if any man would want her.Selena wasn't bothered by it. "Maybe he doesn't know about your past.""There are no secrets in this world. Even if he doesn't know now, he'll find out sooner or later."Evelyn didn't finish her thought. In reality, she wanted to say that once he knew about her past, he would probably abandon her. It was a common male instinct, and Evelyn understood that.So, she had no great expectations for men or love. She even resisted the idea somewhat because once she got involved with a man, it would inevitably lead to the events of two years ago, which she didn't want to remember or discuss.Therefore, it was better to have neither—no love, no man. Then, she wouldn't have to revisit those painful
She thought of the scene where she and Helena have been dependent on each other for so many years after the divorce. Someone once said that the most touching word in the world was ‘mother’. Evelyn felt the complete warmth of this word from Helena. Evelyn felt really desperate now that Helena’s life and death was uncertain in the operating room.She was heartbroken as she sat there, and her sleeves were soon wet with tears. It was very quiet outside the operating room, and no one came. She hugged herself as she sat in the corner. She did not know how long had passed when there was suddenly the sound of footsteps coming from the silent corridor in front of the operating room.Every step sounded calm, powerful, and steady. When she heard the footsteps, she could instantly tell that these were the footsteps of a mature and steady man. Evelyn did not look up. If anyone was coming, it would only be Selena. It was impossible for any man to come here, so this man might have come to t
Natalie had told Jeremy that Evelyn was good at pretending to be innocent in front of him, and that she was deliberately playing with his feelings because he loved her, but she was in fact very casual with other men behind his back. Jeremy did not want to believe that Evelyn was such a person, but the truth was cruel. Evelyn was impatiently grabbing the man’s neck and kissing him in the video.Evelyn had a calm expression when faced with Jeremy’s concern as she said, “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?”These words pushed back Jeremy’s concern mercilessly. Jeremy was suddenly a little embarrassed, especially when she was saying these words to her in front of an unidentified man. Jeremy was instantly put on the spot. Before he could react, Natalie walked out of the corridor around the corner. She stood next to Jeremy with a mocking smile as she said, “Jeremy, why would Evelyn care for your concern? It’s more than enough for her to have the concern of the gre
In order to get Jeremy back then, she had kicked Evelyn away by ruining her reputation, then she found a way to sleep with Jeremy before forcing him to take responsibility toward her. Jeremy had always rejected Natalie before that, but he stopped rejecting her again after sleeping with her once.Natalie knew that her methods were despicable, but it was because she fancied Jeremy. She knew that the reason Jeremy had stayed with her was probably because he longed for her body, and because her parents were pressuring him. However, his heart still belonged to Evelyn, even though Evelyn’s reputation had been tarnished. Jeremy might have fallen for her scheme in the past, but he was extremely upset at the moment, so he simply pushed her away with a cold expression and said, “I’m exhausted since I just came back from a business trip, so I won’t be going over tonight.”He then walked toward his car.“Jeremy!” Natalie stomped her feet and shouted at him, “I know what you’re thinking ab
Jeremy did not expect that the two women would get into a fight in the blink of an eye, and he quickly stepped forward to pull them apart. Selena saw the perfect opportunity and tried to slap Jeremy. She was enraged and figured she would deal with the scumbag as well. However, Jeremy instinctively tilted his head, causing Selena to miss him. However, Jeremy still felt a burning sensation on his face as there was a bloody mark on his face left by the tip of Selena’s fingernail. Jeremy raised his hand and wiped his face. There was blood oozing out. He yelled at Selena angrily, “Selena, have you lost your mind?”Selena ignored Jeremy and continued fighting with Natalie. Natalie was usually dressed in a ladylike manner, with high heels and a dress, so she had to be careful even when walking, but Selena was different. She was wearing jeans and boots, so she was very comfortable in her outfit. Moreover, Selena had a wild temperament, so Natalie was naturally no match for her. As Selena
His brows furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his expression. Rowan’s displeasure came from the fact that this woman really did not seem to remember him.The feeling of being forgotten did not feel very good. Rowan had initially thought of telling Evelyn his identity after Helena’s surgery was completed successfully today. He would then tell her that he was compensating her in this manner to make up for that night, and that they should stop interacting with each other from now on. Otherwise, he would not have come here today.However, he had suddenly lost the interest to tell her the truth now. He did not know how she would react after she found out. She might even get angry and hit him.Evelyn became even more puzzled as she asked, “Do we know each other?”Rowan did not want to continue talking to her anymore. He snorted bitterly and said, “If you say you don’t know me, then I’ll take it as you don’t.”Evelyn was dumbfounded. Based on what he said
However, she did not want to trouble him too much. After all, he had helped her to arrange the surgeon for her mother, and she was already going to owe him another favor before she could even thank him.Upon second thought, Evelyn felt that since she already owed him a favor because of her mother, she could just owe him another favor. She could thank him when Helena’s condition got better later. Therefore, she gladly accepted his help. “I’ll have to trouble you, then.”Rowan raised his brows slightly when he heard her words. A faint smile flashed across his face, then he turned and left without saying anything else.In fact, Rowan thought that if Evelyn refused when he offered to help her, he would certainly be annoyed and even feel disgusted with her. If she refused to accept his help because she wanted to maintain her so-called restrain as a woman, he would think that she was too stupid and ignorant. It was better if she was smarter, even if there was a reason behind it. S
The police officer, who was aside, was dumbfounded. This young girl already had a perfunctory attitude, so he thought that her family member would help to calm things down. Unexpectedly, when her brother arrived, he felt that she was not ruthless enough when dealing with the other party.He stood up and yelled loudly, “Young man, are you here to solve the problem? This is a police station—not the streets! Resolve the matter quickly and give me a clear answer as to whether you want to settle the matter or be sued!”The police officer slammed his hands loudly on the table.Charles ignored him and glared coldly at Natalie, who was standing aside. “Are you the one who pushed my sister?” he asked.Natalie was so frightened by his ferocious voice that she almost burst into tears. She kept hiding behind Barry. Charles’ expression made it seem as if he could throw her out if she dared to admit to her actions.Barry was a man, and he was Natalie’s father, so he could only confront Charles
