Chapter 225
Guests were pouring into another hall preparing for the upcoming auction.
Evadne sl*pped away from the media, seeking refuge in the corridor
“Miss Evadne Jason rushed to her side, his face etched with worry. Are you alright?”
Just a few persistent journalists. What’s the worst they could do? Cause a little ripple?”
Evadne’s eyes were calm, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. “You shouldn’t be here with me. You should be in the hall managing the event
“But I’m worried about you”
Jason’s voice was almost hoarse with anxiety. “Those journalists were clearly prepared. They were sent by someone to deliberately make things difficult for you! They keep bringing up our past mistakes, just to embarrass you!”
“This is normal, isn’t it? When you organize a charity event, do you expect the journalists to only sing your praises?”
Evadne crossed her arms, her expression indifferent. Besides, they’re not wrong. There were indeed oversights in my management, giving some flamboyantly dressed peacocks the chanceto peck at me I can’t blame anyone else for that.”
Flamboyantly dressed peacocks.
A mental image of Elspeth and her daughter appeared in Jason’s mind
“But, there’s one thing you said that I don’t agree with Those journalists were indeed sent by someone, but not to destroy me, but to aid me
Evadne leaned against the wall, her fingertips tracing her arm Let Glynnis have her moment of triumph. I’m an expert at letting my opponents believe they have the world at the fingertips, only to make them fall from that great height and crash and burn. It’s entertaining
Watching Evadne’s increasingly dark look in her eyes, Jason couldn’t help but shiver. She was indeed as ruthless as President Ashbourne. This rose, as beautiful as it was, came with thorns and poison.
The event required Jason’s attention as the managing secretary, so he hurried back to the hall
Evadne had been working tirelessly all day, having only a simple breakfast and skipping lunch and dinner. She hadn’t even had a sip of water
She collapsed onto the couch, famished and weak, kicking off her high heels to reveal her bare feet
Curled up pathetically, she was so hungry that her stomach was cramping
Tm so hungry”
Evadne murmured weakly, her eyes slowly closing
Suddenly, she faintly smelled the rich aroma of chocolate, which seemed to be invading her nostrils.
She thought she was hallucinating from hunger, her nose twitching like a cute puppy following the scent
“Are you just going to sniff it? Not going to eat?”
A deep, pleasant voice rang out, but it was cold as ice
Evadne’s heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes wide
She found herself looking into Thaddeus’s deep star filled eyes
There was no denying the lethal ature of those stunning eyes, no matter the time or place
At that moment. Evadne was lying sideways on the couch, looking at Thaddeus who was kniecing front of her with a chocolate cupcake in his hand
Her hands, which were covering her empty stomach, tightened involuntarily
In their three years of marriage, Thaddeus had never once bowed or lowered his head for her
During the time when she was infatuated with him, always running towards him moth to a flame, the one who was crying, feeling wronged, and humiliated was always her, Evadne Her thoughts wandered, and she felt her eyes well up with tears, her breathing becoming erratic
Thaddeus continued to kneel, seeing her lack of response, his brows furrowed slightly. “Aren’t you hungry? Why aren’t you eating? This is your favorite chocolate flavor. Dont worry, it’s not poisoned”
Im not eating”
Evadne’s throat was choked with inexplicable emotions, feeling sad and wronged
Alva told me your stomach has always been sensitive. Going too long without eating can harm it”
1 said, I’m not eating!”
With a swift motion, Evadne, tears brimming in her eyes, hit the cupcake out of Thaddeus’s hand
Evadnell
The cupcake landed far away smashed to pieces
Thaddeus looked at her, a surge of disappointment flooding him, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, chilling him to the bone.
It wasnt just the cupcake that was smashed, but also his heart
“Evadne, what the fiell is wrong with you? Can’t you tell right from wrong?”
Evadne slowly sat up, no longer feeling hungry. She was filled with a chaotic mix of emotions and resentment hate you, and I hate it even more when you’re being nice to me for no reason Thaddeus, do you know that treating me like this feels like you’re insulting me?”
Ada might not appreciate Glynnis’s flamboyant and superficial personality, but since the had gifted her the necklace and The Abernathy Group was sponsoring her wedding she couldn’t afford to be cold towards her
So she put an arm around her waist and posed for a picture
Seeing the superstar warming up to her and even getting close, Glynnis was overjoyed!
“Miss Adal At tonight’s charity auction, are you planning to bid for an item to contribute to charity, or are you planning to donate an item to add color to the event?” a reporter asked Tonight I plan to donate a piece of jewelry to support the charity event,” Ads replied with a smile
“Wow! What kind of treasured jewelry? Can you reveal it?”
Let’s keep it a surprise. You’ll find out soon.”
Meanwhile Edth was also looking for an opportunity to approach Iris
Finally, when tris finished her interview, the mustered up the courage and walked up to her
“Ms Iris’ Wat, please!”
Inis heard the call, stopped, and looked at Edith, who was full of smiles, from behind her sunglasse
She didn’t recognize Edith and noticing her dress, a new season’s haute couture piece that didn’t but her skin tone br b*dy shape, she figured she was just another tasteless woman who only bought expensive, not suitable items. Thus, she had no desire to engage with her.
“Ms Iris, I’ve grown up reading Ethereal Vogue, which you edited Imabig fan Ediths round face was flushed with shyness as she flattered ins
“Since childhood? Hmm, am I that old?” Iris replied in a lukewarm way
No, no, you’re not old at a
Edith, embarrassed and sweating, hurriedly explained, I mean, I really admire you! I adore you!
Before she could finish, Iris had already moved past her without even a glance.
“Mini”Edith picked up her skirt and turned around, her face pale
President Ashbourne. I’ve been waiting for you!”
Iris’s l*ps curled up in a smile as she eagerly walked towards Evadne
As if they were old friends who had known each other for years!
