Chapter 496 Let Her Off
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Melodie, whose image was always pure and innocent.
Nevertheless, Marty didn't care about this at all.
He showed no kindness for women he didn't care about.
It didn't matter to him even if Melodie was throwing a tantrum as long as she knew when to stop. He could still forgive her, as she had always been docile to him. However...
Did Melodie think that he, Marty, could be slapped by anyone?
He tolerated Evelyn for slapping him only because she was the love in his heart, the only woman he yearned for.
Why was Melodie so arrogant? Did she think that she could escape unscathed after giving him a slap?
Thinking of this, Marty felt ridiculous.
But what he didn't know was that when Evelyn heard this, she shuddered in shock.
It turned out that she was not his only woman...
Evelyn's eyes dimmed a little, but she didn't say anything.
She was in no position to dwell on that. More importantly, she could not care about that.
The situation had come to a deadlock.
No one dared to come forward to stop Marty, and Evelyn and the rest did not do anything either.
The reason why outsiders did not dare to intervene was that they were afraid of provoking Marty, while the parties involved remained silent because they were at a loss of what to say.
In the end, the person who broke the silence was Marty.
As he tidied up his sleeves, he turned around and looked at Jeffrey with a smile, "I will give you one more chance. If you give her up, I will promise you endless glory and wealth. But if you don't know what's good for you, I will let your whole family go straight to hell with you."
Colors suddenly leaching out of both Evelyn's and Jeffrey's faces.
Finally, Evelyn couldn't stand it anymore.
"Marty, why did you do this to me? Let me go." Evelyn pursed her lower lip and finally softened her stance. "I'm begging you, please let me go."
Marty was so shocked by the word "Begging" that he couldn't come to himself for a long time.
He and Evelyn had been childhood friends for ten years, so he had always known how tough she was.
But now, she was begging him to let her go so that she could marry Jeffrey.
Huh? Then what about him?
"Is he that good?" Marty's tone suddenly calmed down, which made Evelyn panic.
Evelyn shook her head in her heart. No, she just didn't want Marty to see how pathetic she was.
But she nodded her head anyway.
"Yes." Evelyn's voice was so soft that no one could hear what she said if they were a little further away.
However, Marty had been waiting for Evelyn's answer attentively.
Then, this was the answer he had gotten.
Marty only felt that the blood in his whole body was made run cold.
Suddenly, he laughed. The laughter grew louder as it echoed around the whole venue.
Hearing his laughter, Evelyn started to panic.
She really wanted to go up and hug him, to tell him that she truly loved him and she did not want to marry Jeffrey.
But Evelyn knew very well that she could not do this.
She could only hold Jeffrey tightly in her arms, not letting go.
Jeffrey's heart was filled with guilt and felt touched as he felt the tightening of Evelyn's arms.
He raised his head and looked at Evelyn, whose eyes were slightly lowered and we could not see clearly her expression.
Jeffry only felt that he had never loved her as much as he did now.
"Evelyn, I will be good to you. I promise I'll be good to you." Jeffrey held her hands as he made a promise to her solemnly.
Evelyn forced a smile and didn't say anything back.
If possible, she really didn't want to marry Jeffrey, and she didn't want to treat Marty in such a way.
But thinking of her bloodsucker adoptive father, Evelyn forced herself not to think about Marty.
She was not good enough for him, wasn't she?
If that was the case, why should she be in his way?
Thinking of this, Evelyn felt much better.
But Marty didn't know what she was thinking.
Marty felt like he was a joke at this moment.
He had put in so much effort and paid such a huge price in order to break them up. Yet, they were all lovey-dovey in front of him.
It was so funny, wasn't it?
At the thought of this, Marty laughed mockingly.
He took a deep look at the two people on the ground and said nothing before he turned around and left.
Seeing Marty leave, Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief.
But she had become even more worrisome now.
However, she did not say that out loud. Instead, she helped Jeffrey up then left the venue.
Melodie's eyes were full of hatred as she stared at the backs of Evelyn and Jeffrey, face contorted with rage.
"Evelyn, I'll make sure you pay the price!"
Evelyn did not hear Melodie muttering to herself.
At this time, after she sent Jeffrey to his car, she watched him leave with a complicated expression.
Jeffrey was not bothered by how unusual Evelyn looked.
He only thought that Evelyn was in a bad mood after all that she had gone through.
However, she didn't know that Evelyn was worried about Marty.
Since Marty left the venue, she had been wondering what happened to him and whether he had done something dangerous.
She couldn't help but care about him.
She and Jeffrey were actually engaged pursuant to a contract. He would give her opportunities to work, and in return, she helped him to stop Jeffrey's parents from pressuring him.
The basis of their engagement was a mutual exchange of benefit.
The only unexpected change was that Jeffrey really liked her and treated her very well.
Hence, Evelyn gradually started to develop a bit of kinship with him.
But only kinship, and nothing else.
In fact, Marty was the one Evelyn truly loved.
She could roughly guess how badly she had hurt Marty today, so it was inevitable for her to worry about him.
Therefore, in fact, Evelyn's feelings for Marty were somewhat complicated.
Just as she was taking a stroll on the street, she suddenly heard a car horn sound behind her.
She turned around and saw a car as she found a person sitting in the driver's seat.
Evelyn couldn't be more familiar with that person. It wasn't someone else, it was Marty.
Evelyn was stunned.
She didn't know what Marty was doing here.
But instinctively, Evelyn felt a sense of crisis.
It was also this sense of crisis that made her suddenly run. Notwithstanding that she was wearing high heels, she ran as fast as she could.
However, of course, she could not compete with the speed of a moving car.
Not long after, Marty caught up with Evelyn driving the car.
The car stopped steadily beside Evelyn.
This time, Evelyn didn't continue running. She knew she couldn't run away.
"What the hell are you doing?" Evelyn pretended to be calm and looked at Marty.
Marty got out of the car and staggered towards Evelyn.
A strong smell of alcohol suddenly filled the tip of Evelyn's nose.
She frowned and looked at Marty. "Did you drink?"
Marty didn't answer her question, but suddenly grabbed Evelyn's hand and pulled her into his arms. "Come with me."
A sense of fear arose in Evelyn's heart.
She kicked Marty with all her might, trying to get him to let her go.
But she did not succeed.
