Chapter 564 Discuss Marrying Her
Evella bit her red lips; she didn't expect Howard to compliment her outfit, nor did she expect others to assume they had fallen in love so soon.
She was about to speak when Kevin, her blind date, approached.
"Archer, Gary..." he greeted Archer, Gary, and the others one by one.
They all responded in kind.
Nora appraised Kevin.
He was probably 25 years old.
With his porcelain skin, delicate features accentuated by foundation, well-groomed eyebrows, stylish earrings, and fashionable attire, he looked like a man in his early twenties
He and Evella standing together looked quite compatible.
Nora had informed Howard yesterday about the man who was going to blind date Evella.
She didn't know how Howard would react today.
Nora appraised Kevin and then glanced at Howard.
At that moment, Howard was also looking at Kevin, and then he said to Evella, "Evella, do you like this kind of delicate young man?"
Evella blinked and remained silent.
Kevin retorted, "Am I a delicate young man? Mr. Howard, I should be about the same age as you. My attire is appropriate, and I don't look like a delicate young man."
Howard glanced at him and said, "Sorry, I'm quite direct. I believe men shouldn't wear foundation; otherwise, they look like women. I suggest Mr. Swift not to act like an innocent young boy all the time, avoid sleeping with women too much, or else you are likely to face the issue of premature ejaculation as you reach middle age."
Howard's words were direct and sarcastic.
Kevin was somewhat annoyed, saying, "Mr. Howard, have you lost your mind? Have I offended you?"
Howard thought, 'You haven't offended me, but you're competing with me for a woman.'
So he had to expose Kevin's facade!
At that moment, the host of the banquet took the microphone and announced that the charity auction was about to begin, inviting all guests to enter.
Archer cleared his throat, easing the tension, saying, "The auction is about to start; let's head to the auction hall first."
Archer now understood why Howard was targeting Kevin.
He found it quite amusing.
Initially, he supported Howard.
But Howard had always been against the union with the Remington family.
Archer pondered, 'Evella is the daughter of the Remington family, not someone you can have just because you like her and discard if you don't. I need to make you face setbacks so that you will cherish Evella in the future.'
'So, compete with Kevin!'
Aaron put his arm around Nora's slender waist and said, "Let's go."
Nora nodded, glancing at Howard to encourage him.
Howard remained silent, glanced at Evella, and was about to speak when Kevin deliberately put his arm around Evella's shoulder.
Kevin said, "Let's go, Evella."
Evella frowned slightly, pulled away his hand, and took two steps aside.
She said, "Mr. Swift, I can walk by myself."
Kevin smiled. "Do you have to keep your distance from me? Aren't we on a blind date?"
Evella said, "I look so ugly; being seen with you would be embarrassing for you."
Kevin glanced at Howard and deliberately said, "No, suddenly, I find your outfit quite cute today."
Evella was speechless.
She thought, 'Cute?'
'If you think I'm cute, you wouldn't have avoided me just now.'
Howard, on the side, couldn't help but chuckle at his words.
Kevin glanced at him and provocatively asked, "Why are you laughing? Mr. Howard, don't you find Evella cute today?"
He said this deliberately to provoke Howard and Evella.
Howard slowly said, "Mr. Swift seems to have poor eyesight. Evella's outfit isn't cute; it's unique."
Kevin not only failed in provoking but also was sarcastically countered by Howard, which made him speechless.
Howard said, "Mr. Swift, can't you see that Evella is deliberately dressing unattractively, trying to make you give up on her automatically?"
Kevin stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled. "I thought blind dates were boring, but now, I've changed my mind. Evella is great. I'll go to the Remington Manor tomorrow to discuss marrying her."
He realized that Howard also liked Evella, which was why Howard had been targeting him.
Kevin thought, 'I've never been mocked like this before.'
'Anyway, I have to marry a woman sooner or later. The Remington family is a good choice, so I'll marry the daughter of the Remington family.'
Listening to their continuous argument, Evella took a deep breath, feeling like she was going crazy.
She thought today's blind date would surely fail, but Howard's words instantly ignited Kevin's desire for victory!
'I want to kill Howard!' Evella thought.
She said, "Mr. Swift, please reconsider. I have many flaws, such as snoring and sleepwalking. I'm not as elegant as the other daughters of wealthy families, and my reputation isn't great either."
Evella tried to discredit herself.
Kevin smiled. "It's okay. I have many flaws, too. We're not perfect people."
Evella was exasperated, then he said, "No, listen to me..."
"Alright, it's time to go in." Kevin interrupted her, not wanting to talk anymore.
Howard, on the side, was extremely angry, thinking, 'Kevin is going to the Remington Manor to discuss marrying Evella.'
'When I get home, I'll have Dad go to the Remington Manor immediately to discuss my wedding with Evella!'
Although Nora was walking ahead, she was still worried about Howard.
So when she entered the auction hall, she glanced back at him.
Seeing Howard looking very angry and Evella walking with Kevin, she knew Howard was feeling defeated.
Nora thought, 'Poor Howard, why did you oppose the union with the Remington family before?'
"Don't look at them, let's go in," Aaron said to Nora.
Nora nodded, about to turn around, but she saw a woman walking towards them with a man wearing a silver mask.
She thought, 'That woman should be Betsy.'
She was somewhat shocked.
Nora thought, 'Ever since Betsy was dropped by Gordon's group after trying to seduce Baldwin under the guise of shooting an advertisement, and then her agent brought her to me to cause a scene, I haven't seen any news about her.'
'I don't even know if she's still in the entertainment industry.'
Nora glanced at the Mask beside her, thinking, 'This isn't a masquerade ball; why is this man wearing a mask?'
'Could it be because his face is disfigured?'
Lost in thought, Nora was led by Aaron to their designated seats.
They were not in the front row but in the third row directly facing the stage.
This spot had the best view.
Around them were Archer, Gary, Howard, and others.
Before long, Betsy and the Mask also entered.
They sat in the far left of the front row.
Nora looked at them, and at that moment, Betsy turned back.
They locked eyes briefly; Nora nodded slightly, then looked ahead.
A hint of resentment flashed in Betsy's eyes, but she quickly turned away.
The Mask beside her also turned slowly.
He glanced at Nora and Aaron sitting together, smirked silently, then turned back.
