Chapter 491 Attending The Party
Because Evelyn was really in need of money.
Thinking of her mother who was seriously ill in bed and her adoptive father who was addicted to gambling, even when her manager behind her, Marissa, was extremely excited, her eyes were still full of sorrow.
Evelyn kept her family affairs a secret. Even Marissa, who had always been a close friend of hers, did not know what was going on.
Seeing that Evelyn was so depressed, Marissa came behind her as she leaned against the chair and looked at Evelyn, who was looking as alluring as she could ever be in the mirror. Marissa was very puzzled and asked, "Evelyn, it's your dream to attend this party. You should be happy. How can you still..."
Evelyn forced a smile and said, "Nothing. I didn't sleep well so I'm a little tired."
Marissa looked at her with a pained expression and sighed. "You should be feeling really tired."
She knew too well how hardworking Evelyn was.
Ever since she stepped foot in the industry, even when she was just a D-lister, she had begun to work without taking a break.
As long as there was quality work, no matter how hard it was, no matter how demanding it was, she would accept it.
She had asked Evelyn why she was so desperate.
Evelyn told her that if she wanted to earn a living, she had to work hard. In addition, work of low quality would consume a lot of her own energy, so she would rather work harder than ruin her own future.
For so many years, Marissa had been by Evelyn's side. She had also watched Evelyn's growth from a lesser-known actress into a glamorous star that she was today.
But no matter when Evelyn hadn't stopped keeping her nose to the grindstone.
In fact, Marissa was also curious as to why, even though Evelyn had earned so much money taking her blood, sweat and tears, she was still living thriftily.
Evelyn smiled and didn't say anything. After Marissa kept pressing her for an answer, Evelyn gave in and said that she didn't like to live an extravagant
Marissa had some doubts about this, but in the end, she did not probe any further.
After all, everyone had secrets in this world.
But now, looking how tired Evelyn looked right now, Marissa hesitated again and again before she decided against persuading her to take a break.
It had been so many years. If Evelyn wanted to rest, she would have already done so.
Marissa thought so.
But what she didn't know was that Evelyn actually wanted to have a break desperately.
Who wouldn't like to lie at home and do nothing?
Her mother's medical expenses alone were still doable. If it weren't for her adoptive father who kept asking her for money, Evelyn didn't have to work this hard.
Soon, Evelyn finished her makeup.
Evelyn picked a silver-white dress with a water-blue hairpin, a delicate silver necklace around her neck, and a crystal high-heels on her feet. She sat in her own sports car gracefully.
On the way, Evelyn looked at the colorful night scene with no expression on her face and did not close her eyes to rest.
It was not that she didn't want to rest, but she was really too tired now. She was afraid that if she had fallen asleep now, she wouldn't have to attend the party anymore.
And she had to attend.
Soon, they arrived at the event site.
As the cameras were flashing, Evelyn got out of the car elegantly with a decent smile on her face.
Evelyn kept her hand on her chest all the way and nodded to the media. She fiddled with her draping hair from time to time, and her every move was quite like a goddess.
But no media reporters came to interview her.
The media reporters who were taking photos outside were all here to collect some materials. The people who were really qualified to speak were the ones who could enter the party.
Perhaps the media reporters who could enter the party were all big shots in the industry. As a celebrity who was barely qualified to enter the party like Evelyn, of course, they wouldn't pay too much attention to her.
Just when Evelyn was about to enter the event hall, she suddenly saw a tall man in front of her waiting for her.
"Evelyn, you are here." Jeffrey came to her with a smile and took her arm. "Why didn't you inform me in advance? I've been waiting for you for so long."
A hint of discomfort flashed across Evelyn's eyes, but soon she put on a warm smile on her face. "I just didn't expect you to come so early. I was going to wait for you."
Jeffrey scraped Evelyn's nose and laughed. "What are you saying? There's no reason for a woman to wait for a man."
Evelyn covered her red lips and said shyly, "You don't have to do this, but thank you."
She knew that Jeffrey was to introduce her to the big shots in the industry with his own influence.
Jeffrey naturally understood what Evelyn meant.
He caressed her face, and his eyes were full of affection. "You don't have to stand on the ceremony with me. Just tell me if you need anything. I will help you."
Evelyn nodded and felt a little warm from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, an unpleasant male voice rang out unexpectedly, "What a touching show that you've put on."
The two of them turned to look in that direction.
There was a glint of shock and embarrassment in Evelyn's eyes. As for Jeffrey, he narrowed his eyes vigilantly.
However, instead of expressing the hostility at the bottom of his heart, he approached the man with a laugh. "Hey, Young Master Marty. Evelyn is my fiancée so of course, it's my duty to take care of her. I don't know what you mean by that."
Marty was dressed in a maroon tailored suit, and he was smiling in a smug manner. No one could tell that a moment ago, he was staring at their backs with the sinister look in his eyes.
"Nothing, I'm just surprised at how you have publicly displayed your affection. Even if you two are engaged, it's not appropriate to be too intimate at this time, isn't it? After all, so many people are watching you."
As he said that, he tilted his head to the row of media behind him.
The media reporters present looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
A scandal, a big scandal in the industry!
All the people present were veterans with some qualifications. Naturally, they knew that Jeffrey and Evelyn were engaged. Marty had always been an outsider, but today...
However, any professional media reporter who was instinctive quickly held up the camera and was ready to take first-hand video of what happened.
Seeing this scene, Evelyn subconsciously distanced herself from Jeffrey.
It was true that she was engaged to Jeffrey, but it would be bad for her reputation to be all over each other on such an occasion.
After all, the main purpose of today's party was to promote networking, it was not a place where she and Jeffrey could publicly display their affection.
Jeffrey had obviously also thought of this.
He quietly let go of Evelyn's hand, and looked at Marty vigilantly.
Wasn't Marty a playboy? Logically speaking, Evelyn wouldn't have any interaction with him. Did he have a crush on Evelyn?
Why didn't he realize the same in the past? It seemed like he had to be on the guard now.
Marty smiled as he looked at the distance between the two of them. His mood was much better than before.
He directly passed through the gap between the two of them. Looking at the slightly stiff face of Jeffrey, Marty smiled weakly and said, "Anyway, we still have a long way to go in the future. Young Master Jeffrey, don't get too caught up in putting on a show and eventually fall for her."
