The beautiful woman was Evelyn's high school classmate, Natalee Scott. She used to famous in their school. Afterward, she joined a music academy and participated in various talent shows after graduating. Some good reception gave her a minor celebrity status as a singer.She and Evelyn had been close at school, and she knew Jenny and May too. Now that she had returned to Cloudsea for the next stage of her career, she reconnected with everyone. When she heard about Evelyn's birthday party that night, she rushed over to attend.Unexpectedly, Natalee bumped into Elio in the elevator. She did not know that he was Evelyn's husband.As a self-proclaimed celebrity, she was rather arrogant and self-important. She resented the “trash-collecting peasant” for wasting her time, so she insulted him without a second thought.Unexpectedly, he had pointed out her body odor instead. It was the fatal flaw she refused to face, so she flew into a rage out of humiliation.Natalee had been suffering fro
"It doesn't matter," Evelyn replied, disheartened. "He won't be my husband for long, anyway. I'll divorce him tomorrow. Since he's just a scumbag who harasses women, how can I stay married to him?”Elio felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled violently. He had not expected Evelyn to be so heartless. She was going to divorce him after only hearing that woman's side of the story! His heart felt like it was breaking in two.However, everyone else erupted into cheers. "Good!" “Finally!”Bennet was overjoyed. Finally, he saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Evelyn was kicking that trash to the curb. Once she was single again, there was his chance!Jenny beamed. "I’m so glad for you, Evelyn. You've finally opened your eyes. This guy is a useless leech. He's not worth your time. Once you dump him, you have so many better options.”Without replying to Jenny, Evelyn turned to Elio. "Leave. Don't disturb our gathering anymore. I don't want to see you."Elio was dev
Everyone was envious when they heard that Natalee was going to sign a contract with Rainbow Media. They showered her with praise, and the men looked at her like she was their idol."As expected of a celebrity. I’m sure these companies are lining up to sign you, Natalee!” "Why haven't I heard of Rainbow Media before? Is it new?"Their flattery went to Natalee’s head. She replied smugly, "Yes, it’s newly established, but it's huge. They have almost a hundred million dollars in assets! My aunt is the deputy general manager there, and I'm their first artist They’re going to focus on making me famous.""Really? Then you’re going to be a superstar! Don’t forget about us when you make it big," Jenny said with a smile."Of course! When I hold a concert, I'll give you VIP tickets for free. You’re my friends, after all." Natalee was also filled with anticipation for her new life. It felt like her dream of holding a concert was about to come true."Yayy! When the time comes, we'll all go t
Everyone seemed to ignore Elio, which only made Bennet bolder. He pulled out a gift he had picked out with care from his bag, set it on the table, and said with a loving look, "Evelyn, it's your birthday today, and I've brought you a present. I hope you'll take it."All eyes turned to them, especially the girls who were really curious. They saw a sky-blue box with a purple bow. As Bennet lifted the lid, a diamond-studded bracelet sparkled inside, drawing gasps from everyone."Wow, a Tiffany bracelet! That's really pricey, and it's gorgeous!""Bennet's so sweet, giving Evelyn such an expensive bracelet. I'm so jealous!"Bennet grinned proudly. "It wasn't too much, just over $4,500. The important thing is that Evelyn likes it."Evelyn was taken aback. She had not expected such a genuine gesture, a fancy bracelet from a top brand. She could not help but be drawn to it, thinking how perfect and elegant it looked and how nice it would look on her.She knew what Bennet was trying to do
Those folks just did not get it. They were like frogs in a well, with such a small world view. The phoenix was a bird that never died. When it passed away, it burst into flames and was reborn from the ashes, full of life and symbolizing immortality and incredible strength!Evelyn could not believe her eyes when she saw the fiery phoenix tattoo on Elio's back. Her bright eyes filled with wonder and questions.They had been married for three years, and even though they had not been close, she had seen him without a shirt before and he never had any tattoos!Now, he had that phoenix rising from the ashes on his back, giving off a wild vibe. Evelyn figured he must have gotten it recently. He had been cruising around in fancy cars, showing off, and then, with that tattoo, he probably turned into a total troublemaker.What nobody knew was that Elio's tattoo was incredibly rare. It was made with the blood of a rainbow phoenix and the bird's feathers, each a different color, creating a stu
She rushed to Timothy's side, holding him up. "Are you okay?" she asked, full of worry.After that slap, Timothy knew better than to mess with that guy again. He might end up in serious trouble.So he played it cool, holding his throbbing cheek, and mumbled, "I'm fine." He had to swallow his pride, along with his lost tooth. It was smarter not to pretend he was tough.Evelyn stared down Elio, furious. "What's wrong with you, hitting people like that?" she demanded.Elio's brow furrowed as he stared at his wife, feeling like she was a stranger. He replied with a chill in his voice, "Can't you see? That guy ripped my T-shirt and tried to fight me.""However, you didn't have to hit him until he spat blood. You did it on purpose, just to ruin my birthday party," Evelyn said, her anger rising, her good mood completely gone."Don't bother with someone like him, Evelyn. He's bad news, just a bully who thinks he's something special," Natalee soothed her friend. "Tell you what, I rushed o
Elio sang as if he was alone, tears in his eyes, his voice filled with love and a sadness that spoke of too many regrets, too much pain. He felt those were the words he needed to say to Evelyn, pouring out his feelings through the song.His powerful and raw voice seemed to reach into the hearts of everyone listening, leaving the room in silent awe.Even the waiters in the hallway had stopped to listen, tears welling up in their eyes.What had that man gone through to sing with such soul-crushing emotion?Three years into their marriage, this was the first time that Evelyn had heard Elio sing. They had gone to karaoke before, but it was always the others who sang while Elio just served drinks. No one expected he could sing so beautifully, almost like a pro.People had feelings. They were not like trees or grass that felt nothing.The song's deep lyrics touched Evelyn's heart. She remembered all the moments since they got married. Elio might not have been successful, but he was goo
A crowd had gathered, buzzing with excitement. "Is that a birthday gift? It's so over-the-top!" one person exclaimed."Looks like a rich kid's stunt. You'd need serious cash to pull this off!" another added.A young girl watched, her hands clasped together. "So romantic! That's the kind of guy who's a real catch. Where is he?"Someone pointed to the hotel door. "Look, someone's coming out. Bet the guy we're waiting for is with them."It was Elio and his friends, and they sure turned heads. At the front, Elio was shirtless, his muscles like a pro athlete's. He was super handsome, and not an inch of him was anything but fit.Sunny, seeing Elio without a shirt, knew something was up. She quickly told her bodyguards, "Go, get Master Rinz some clothes."They always called the boss Master Rinz or Mr. Rinz around others to keep his identity a secret. It was the rule at Evamor Group, and everyone knew it.One bodyguard took off his jacket and ran to Elio with a white shirt. He was amaze
