Chapter 492 She Is Not Worthy
It was obvious that Marty was provoking them.
Jeffrey kept a straight face on right away. "Marty, what do you mean?"
Marty shrugged his shoulders. "You heard me."
Evelyn cursed in her heart as she felt the conflict between the two of them.
What the hell was Marty doing?
She did not have time to think too much and quickly stepped forward and stood between the two. She smiled weakly and said, "Young Master Marty, you're really like to joke around. What do you mean by putting on a show? Jeffrey and I are already engaged. And Jeffrey, Young Master Marty is obviously joking with you. Why did you take it seriously?"
It was apparent that Evelyn had a closer relationship to Jeffrey than Marty.
Jeffrey seemed to be in a better mood right away.
He smiled and touched Evelyn's head. "Evelyn, you're right. I'm being too serious. Young Master Marty, I apologize to you here."
Marty's eyes suddenly darkened, like storm clouds before a thunder-storm.
"Evelyn!" He called out her name through his gritted teeth. There was anger and jealousy in his heart, which almost pushed him to the point of insanity..
Evelyn's heart trembled a little. Deep down, she was still a little afraid of him.
But this was not the time for them to make a scene.
"Mr. Blaine, we are not that close." Evelyn's voice became colder and she even changed the way she addressed her.
Such a change aroused Marty's rage.
"Oh, not close? Are you sure? That day..."
Marty paused.
He felt that he was going crazy soon.
Yes, he was crazy, wasn't he? Otherwise, why would he bring up that matter last time? Evelyn had clearly forbidden him to tell anyone about it.
Just as he thought, the expression on Evelyn's pretty face changed, and her voice became even more stern.
"I don't know what you are talking about. If Mr. Blaine has a problem with me, you can just tell me directly. In the future, we will never cross paths again. There's no need to make such a joke."
She was clearly warning him that if he dared to spill the beans, they would never be friends again.
But this was enough.
At the very least, this showed that there was a history between them, and what happened was not as detached as she had said before, wasn't it?
Marty smiled bitterly from the bottom of his heart. What had Evelyn done to him? Otherwise, why would he want to go through so much trouble?
Unfortunately, no one could answer him.
Including Evelyn.
After quickly regaining his composure, Marty looked up tardily and said with a smug smile, "Miss Hussain, you also know that I am joking, so why are you angry?"
Evelyn immediately let out a sigh of relief.
She was glad that he was still thinking straight.
As long as Marty didn't make up his mind to fall out with her, then there would still be a glimpse of hope in this matter.
Evelyn raised her head and smiled politely. "I was too impulsive. Please forgive me."
Then, she was about to enter the hall with Jeffrey.
There was a glint of pain in Marty's eyes as he looked at Evelyn's receding figure intently.
Evelyn...
He was calling her name softly in his heart.
At this moment, a delicate body hugged him from behind. "Marty, what are you looking at?"
Marty turned around, but it was too late for him to withdraw the pain in his eyes.
He quickly turned his head away. "Melodie, you're here."
Melodie nodded with a smile. "Yes. I'm wondering what kind of news will make the headlines at the party this year."
It was Melodie's third time attending this party.
She, who debuted as a child actress, could be regarded as an experienced senior in the industry.
At this moment, she pretended to glance casually in the direction of Marty's gaze as her heart sank slightly.
"Evelyn? Why is Marty looking at her like that? Could she be the woman he has been yearning for?"
"How could that be possible? She's not worthy of him." Melodie thought.
After all, Melodie was Marty's girlfriend for the longest time, so she naturally knew that he had a secret crush.
According to Marty, that person was his childhood sweetheart and first love. She was someone he yearned for but couldn't get.
It took a lot of effort for Melodie to find out the identity of the woman, but she didn't succeed even once.
The reason why she thought of this now was because this was the first time she had seen Marty staring at a woman so intently.
And Evelyn.
At the thought of her, Melodie sneered at the bottom of her heart.
How could she be Marty's childhood sweetheart ? How could she win his heart? She was a nobody.
"Are you kidding me?" Melodie thought.
Marty was an infamous playboy in the industry. In order to be with him, she had put her heart and soul into it.
How could a nobody like Evelyn get what she couldn't get even after she had spent so much time and energy on it?
On what basis?
Thinking of this, Melodie couldn't help but feel jealous.
Her impression of Evelyn also plummeted.
Since Evelyn wanted to get her hands on something that clearly did not belong to her, then she would have to teach her a lesson.
After Evelyn entered the party, she got to know a lot of big shots in the industry under Jeffrey's introduction.
After all, the party was a classy and upscale event. Although the rich were beguiled by her beauty, they just praised her with a smile and dare not have any ill intentions.
After a while, Evelyn managed to build a lot of connections and also get her hands on a few opportunities.
She had what it took to be in this industry. Coupled with Jeffrey's support and her previous achievements, many of the big shots in the industry had expressed their intentions to work with her.
During the intermission, Evelyn was holding a cup of cocktail and sipping it, as she couldn't help sighing in her heart.
It was really a grand industry party. It was different from all those small parties she had participated in before, where there would be quite a number of people dropping hints at her to sell her body in return of opportunities.
At the thought of this, a trace of anxiety flashed across Evelyn's eyes.
Actually, she was very resistant to this kind of opportunity. Because of this, she had offended a lot of sponsors and lost a lot of opportunities. .
Now, it was finally time to break this vicious cycle...
Thinking of this, Evelyn let out a long sigh of relief, as the exhaustion in her heart subsided a lot.
In fact, her progress recently had been somewhat stagnant.
Her development had almost hit a bottleneck, due to the fact that she was not willing to get her hands on those shady opportunities and she had been a little confused in the past few months.
But now, thinking that there would be a lot of high-quality work in the future, Evelyn was very happy.
After Jeffrey had done with his discussion with one of the business partners, he looked at Evelyn with a joyful expression, smiled and came to her side, before he said lovingly, "What's up? Have you sorted out your problem?"
Evelyn nodded softly. "Yes, it's all thanks to you."
Her smile was so sweet and docile that it almost took Jeffrey's breath away as his Adam's apple bobbed.
"If we weren't at a party, I won't let you go so easily."
He whispered in Evelyn's ear with a smile.
Evelyn blushed as she pushed him away shyly. "Stop fooling around."
Jeffrey listened to her and let her push him away. Then he leaned forward again and said, "I am even more looking forward to our wedding night mow. I can't help feeling a little excited at the thought of your body pinning under me."
