Chapter 493 Breaking Off The Engagement
Hearing this, Evelyn's body couldn't help but stiffen.
She suddenly thought of that night, Marty, and the embarrassing experience she had and she could not help but feel a little guilty in the bottom of her heart.
However, she did not express any of her true emotions. Instead, she pouted and said coyly, "If you continue to act so frivolously, I'll ignore you!"
Jeffrey leaned his head on Evelyn's shoulders and giggled.
Marty had been watching Evelyn not far away.
When he saw Evelyn smiling heartily, his expression also became much gentler.
But all of this was swept away after he saw Jeffrey appearing behind her.
He saw the intimacy between Jeffrey and Evelyn with his own eyes. Marty felt a sharp pang of jealousy welling up in his mind as he saw how close they were.
Marty's eyes were red.
He quickly downed a glass of wine and strode towards the two of them.
Marty didn't have the time to think at this point. He let his anger get the best of him and forced him to make such a decision.
When she spotted Marty, Evelyn frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in her heart.
They had been childhood friends for nearly ten years. Even if they hadn't seen each other for several years, she still knew his character like the back of her hand.
He seemed to be holding back his anger. Seeing this, Evelyn could roughly guess that he was going to do something nuts.
For some reason, at this critical juncture, Evelyn didn't leave with Jeffrey. Instead, she pushed him away and turned around to hide the panic in her heart.
Jeffrey was slightly stunned by Evelyn's push.
He looked at the guilty look on her face and frowned deeply.
What happened to Evelyn...
At this moment, Marty, who seemed to be light on his feet, walked over and said, "I have a project in hand recently. I don't know if you are interested to hear about it, Young Master Jeffrey."
Jeffrey, who originally was still thinking about Marty's purpose of coming here today, suddenly let out a sigh of relief when he heard this. "I'm all ears."
Marty stared at Evelyn with his reddened eyes. His voice sounded calm, although he was about to drop a bombshell. "But on one condition, you will leave her."
Without thinking about it, Jeffrey rejected him. "That's impossible."
Evelyn also turned around right away as she looked at Marty in shock. "Marty, what do you mean?"
Marty smiled cruelly, "You heard me." Then, he looked at Jeffrey and said, "I'm offering you a business opportunity worth 10 billion dollars, on the condition that you will break off the engagement with her. Jeffrey, can we agree?"
Marty's expression changed because of his words. He said, "One billion? Mr. Blaine, are you crazy?"
Marty didn't answer his question. Indeed, he was out of his mind. "Just tell me if you want to accept the offer or not."
Evelyn's face was as pale as a sheet.
She had no clue what Marty was going to do!
One billion dollars was not a small amount! But Marty was willing to give it up without batting an eyelid, on the condition that she would break off the engagement with Jeffrey...
What on earth did he mean?!
Suddenly, Evelyn thought of a possibility.
But the next moment, she rejected this idea.
She really didn't think that Marty would care about her as much as she thought. She must be imagining things... Yes, she was.
The only thing she was worried about was Jeffrey.
Evelyn did not know what choice he would make.
As she thought, she looked at Jeffrey.
At this moment, there was a mix of emotions flashed across his face. There were signs of struggling, but there were also decisiveness.
Not everyone could give up one billion just for a woman's sake alone. At the very least, the Biden family didn't have the confidence to do so.
Jeffrey knew very well just what sort of great changes this one billion dollars could bring to the family including their social standing.
However, because of this, Jeffrey would lose his fiancee, the woman he loved the most!
At the thought of this, Jeffrey fought the urge to take up the offer.
"I can't give up Evelyn for money. I can't." Jeffrey thought.
But...that was, after all, a billion!
Just when Jeffrey was still in a dilemma, Melodie walked over with a smile. "Marty, what kind of prank are you pulling again?"
The commotion on their side had drawn the attention of the people around them.
The people present were all whispering to each other because of Marty's crazy behavior.
They were all curious as to why Marty was so impulsive.
When Melodie's fair-weather friend pretended to be surprised and told her about it, a sharp pang of jealousy hit her.
It was Evelyn, it was her again!
Now Melodie was almost 100% sure that the person in Marty's heart was Evelyn.
Otherwise, according to Marty's calm personality, he wouldn't have done such a thing.
As soon as she thought of this, Melodie couldn't suppress the jealousy in her heart, and hurriedly came to them as elegant as possible.
When she arrived, it was the time when Jeffrey had to make his decision.
But Melodie did not know about it.
The only thing she wanted to do now was to stop this from happening.
She couldn't let things get out of hand. After all, she was destined to be Mrs. Blaine!
Melodie's presence stopped Jeffrey from saying what he wanted to say.
He suddenly came to his senses, as his back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
Now he didn't even know what answer he wanted to give just now.
But he knew that if he really made a decision, whether he chose Evelyn or the one billion dollars, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
At the thought of this, Jeffrey was very grateful for Melodie's appearance at the right time.
He looked at Melodie gratefully, only to find that she had all her attention on Marty.
Melodie was looking at Marty with a smile. "Marty, you're just joking, aren't you?"
Marty had a glum expression on his face.
He stared at Melodie with a sullen face. "What are you doing here?"
Melodie's expression was stiff, but she still tried to maintain her elegance and coquetry as much as possible. "I'm also here for the party. I came here as soon as I heard such big news. But you, you're a little too impulsive tonight."
Marty's facial expression darkened. "Melodie, stop sticking your nose into my business."
Biting her tender lips, Melodie felt wronged, as she was getting crazed by jealousy.
"Evelyn is too ungrateful! How could she talk him into making such an irrational decision?"
At this time, Melodie attributed all the blame to Evelyn as a glint of viciousness flashed across her eyes.
Marty shifted all his attention to Evelyn and had no time to worry about Melodie.
As a result, he did not see the cruelty in Melodie's eyes.
However, although his eyes were glued to Evelyn, he still said to Jeffrey, "Young Master Jeffrey, what's your decision?"
With a pale face, Jeffrey clenched their teeth and hesitated for a few seconds. Then he said without any doubt, "I won't give Evelyn up."
"Oh? Is that so?" Marty's lips curled up in a cruel smile. "Is it because the amount that I've offered was too little?"
Evelyn's and Melodie's expressions froze at the same time.
