Chapter 494 Make An Offer
Then, Evelyn held her head with her hand. She looked like she was about to pass out. Her eyes were full of panic.
At the same time, Melodie glared at Evelyn with jealousy and hatred.
However, neither Marty nor Jeffrey paid any attention to the two girls' reaction.
Marty smiled evilly, like a devil who wanted to drag Jeffry into hell.
Clenching his sweaty palm tightly, Jeffrey was still in a dilemma.
Seeing that Jeffrey did not respond, Marty casually increased the price, "1.5 billion."
All the guests present, who were paying attention to this scene, were shocked.
No one had expected that Marty would hold Evelyn in such a high regard.
He was willing to spend more than a billion dollars just to make her happy.
But no one else would be willing to give up 1.5 billion dollars just for a beautiful woman.
The price was too high.
But Marty didn't care about it at all.
He was a man of his words. As long as Jeffrey accepted his offer, he wouldn't mind giving 1.5 billion dollars up.
After all, to Marty, it was the amount of money he could make in a few months.
Everything was within Marty's expectation.
As expected, the glint of struggle in Jeffrey's eyes grew more obvious.
He still didn't answer, but at the same time when Marty saw this, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, Jeffrey was not so into Evelyn after all.
Yet, he still wanted to become Evelyn's husband?
Dream on!
"Two billion." The mocking smile on Marty's face grew even bigger as he added the price once again.
People around suddenly took a deep breath.
Two billion... Marty was so adamant!
Jeffrey was also shocked by his generosity.
He took a deep breath and wanted to say yes.
How could he not agree?
Two billion dollars! It was two billion dollars!
Evelyn, sorry, he couldn't let his family down for her sake.
Just as he was about to speak, Marty flashed an evil smile across his face.
"Three billion, I want you to completely break off your relationship with her."
Marty didn't mind adding another billion dollars for them to make a clean break, and he wanted to let Evelyn see how snobbish her fiance was and how greedy he was when it came to money.
Everyone was shocked.
In fact, the big shots present at the party tonight might also have three billion dollars at their disposal, but they were still shocked by this.
They did have the money, but they would spend it on investment and business, rather than wasting it for a woman.
So all the guests present were looking forward to what was going to happen next.
Since Marty was willing to pay such a high price for a woman, what other unreasonable things would he do for this woman?
That was the issue everyone was concerned about.
Originally, Jeffrey wanted to accept his offer, but when Marty had made a further offer with revised terms, he hesitated.
Three billion was truly not a small amount. In fact, the whole of the Jeffrey family would rise to the top because of that.
But he would have to sever ties with Evelyn because of this. Was this really the choice he wished to make?
Thinking of this, Jeffrey looked at Evelyn.
At this time, Evelyn's face was pale. She was also looking at Jeffrey with pleading eyes.
Seeing him looking at her, Evelyn shook her head desperately as the pleading look in her eyes became even more intense.
"No, please don't do that to her. Don't give her up for the money."
If he didn't like her, he could tell her that and she would leave.
However, if Jeffrey broke off the engagement with her, she would never be able to get over this.
As an award-winning actress, her acting skills were definitely one of the best.
At this time, her lively and bright eyes were full of begging. Even if she did not say a word, Jeffrey's heart was still ruthlessly shattered into pieces.
Jeffrey understood everything that she wanted to convey through her eyes. He also knew that the choice she wanted him to make.
He lowered his heads distressingly as he began to hesitate.
Should he really give up on Evelyn?
But his family...
At this moment, Jeffrey was torn between giving in to her pleading eyes and his responsibilities towards his family.
Pain was written all over his face, as he was at a loss of what to do for the moment.
At this time, Marty raised the price again.
"Apparently three billion dollars are too little for you... then, five billion dollars? Childes, this is not a rare opportunity. I hope you can make the right choice."
Finally, Evelyn couldn't bear it anymore.
She strode to Marty and gave him a slap in front of everyone.
"Smash!"
Evelyn exerted all her strength. As soon as she slapped Marty in the face, his face swelled up and turned red.
"Marty! Are you done with your nonsense?" Evelyn tried hard to hold back her emotions and she said that through her gritted teeth hysterically.
Marty raised his head, the draping hair in front of his forehead was a little messy.
He didn't have time to wipe away the blood on the corner of his mouth. Instead, he laughed a little crazily and said, "Me? Nonsense!"
Evelyn stared at Marty with hatred. "I don't know what's wrong with you, but now, I wish you could stop acting crazy and stop trying to fool Jeffrey. He's my fiance, and I won't allow you to ruin my marriage so wantonly!"
After hearing Evelyn's words, Marty began to pace around as if he had lost his mind. Then he stared at Evelyn crazily and said, "Lauren, you should know that I can't really succeed if Jeffrey had never wavered his love for you. But now, it's obvious that he did have the thought to leave you for money. So, why are you taking your anger out on me?"
Hearing that, Evelyn was speechless.
She knew that Marty's words were true. Jeffrey did waver.
But it was also exactly why she became even more angry, fearful, and helpless.
If Jeffrey really broke off the engagement with her because of this, what should she do?
Once this matter got out, under the Blaine family's influence, no one would be willing to be engaged to her again.
Most importantly, she didn't want Marty to know about her family affairs.
She didn't want him to discover the miserable side of her.
Therefore, Evelyn wanted to have nothing to do with Marty.
But now, even if she didn't come to him, he was always after her.
For a moment, Evelyn was at a loss.
She didn't know what to do and how to find a way out of this situation.
Thinking of this, Evelyn shook her head slowly and took a few steps back.
"You're crazy." She retorted while taking a step back.
Her voice was too soft. If Marty hadn't been paying attention to her emotions all this while, he wouldn't have heard it at all.
"Yes, I'm out of my mind." Marty followed after Evelyn with a smile on his face.
She took a step back while he took a step forward.
"Why did you do this to me? Why?" Tears gradually welled up in Evelyn's eyes.
She didn't know why he wanted to corner her like this.
"What kind of woman Marty can't have? Why does it have to be me?" Evelyn thought.
