Chapter 551 Letting Go Of The Opportunity
Evelyn had acted in quite a few dramas previously, but most of them were just teen dramas.
At that time, she was not so famous, so she needed to play in a teen drama to boost her popularity,
Now that she was well-known with a stable fan base, Evelyn did not have to worry too much about her exposure and popularity.
Therefore, she needed to take part in some critically acclaimed films to consolidate her image and status.
Evelyn had no objection to Marissa's arrangement. After reading the script, she was also very interested in this series.
Therefore, she agreed without hesitation and signed the contract.
When Clarissa found out about this, she even gave Anthony a call.
After all, Evelyn was an artist under Starlight who she took under her wing since the beginning. She was also her cash cow. Of course, she would not allow others to bully her.
On the phone, Anthony was begging for mercy. "Clarissa, I know she's on your side. Of course, I'll take care of her. Don't worry."
"Besides, she's a real beauty. Even for the sake of that, I would look after her."
Hearing this, Clarissa laughed out loud and said, "I'm warning you, don't try anything funny with her. Otherwise, I won't be the one who is going to bite your head off."
Anthony didn't know about the relationship between Evelyn and Marty. When he heard her words, he couldn't help but be confused.
He asked confusedly, "Clarissa, what does this mean? Does she have a boyfriend?"
Clarissa didn't dare to tell Anthony the full story. As far as she knew, Marty loved Evelyn, but she didn't know how Evelyn feel about him.
So she just said, "It's not convenient for me to tell you this. If you are really interested, you can ask her personally."
Upon hearing this, Anthony also felt that he won't get much from asking others about Evelyn's private matter, so he could only hang up the phone gloomily.
The cast for the new series was finalized. Soon, an announcement that the film had started filming was made.
Evelyn soon immersed herself in the filming of the new series. Because the schedule was tight, she had less time to go to the hospital.
On this day, she remembered that she had not been to the hospital for half a month. Worried about Iris's situation, Evelyn called Jeffrey to ask him to visit Iris whenever he was free.
Jeffrey agreed without hesitation.
In fact, he also often visited Iris at the hospital one or two years before he signed the agreement with Evelyn. After that, Evelyn did not allow him to make visits to the hospital anymore.
He didn't want to defy Evelyn. So even if he wanted to go, he could only hold those thoughts back.
Now that he finally had the chance to take care of Iris, he certainly would not let go of this opportunity.
However, when he rushed to the hospital and came to the ward that Evelyn mentioned, he was told that Iris was transferred to another hospital and not here.
Jeffrey was shocked and called Evelyn in a hurry.
Hearing the news, Evelyn was also surprised.
She did not transfer Iris to another hospital because she had been in this hospital for a long time.
Besides, Doctor Lee was also a doctor she was very familiar with. Not only was he a responsible doctor, but he was highly skilled as well. She had no reason to request a transfer.
However, it was true that Jeffrey did not find Iris in the hospital. After listening to her words, he went to ask Doctor Lee.
Doctor Lee told him that Iris proposed to leave the hospital herself and that a friend of hers would come to pick her up.
Because it was Iris who brought it up, Doctor Lee thought that Evelyn had already known about it, so he didn't inform her the same.
However, Evelyn had no clue about it. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, she suddenly was full of regrets.
After Evelyn knew about this, she was very anxious.
Knowing that she couldn't get any information from Jeffrey, she quickly hung up the phone and called Iris.
But for unknown reasons, Iris's phone was always engaged. Evelyn couldn't get through her at all.
Even if she tried to call her back after a long time, Evelyn still couldn't get through the call.
She knew that in this case, someone must have tampered with Iris's phone. That was why she couldn't receive Evelyn's call at all.
As she thought of this, her face turned somber, as she felt uneasy in her heart.
After a while, she suddenly thought of a possibility that she refused to believe. She quickly took out her phone and called Marty.
The call was connected after two rings.
Before she could speak, a peal of joyful laughter came from the other end of the line.
A man's voice could be heard, "Iris, please sit for a while. Evelyn called me. I have to answer it first."
Iris, who was opposite him, said with a smile, "Okay. Go ahead. I'll study this on my own."
Hearing this voice, Evelyn was sure that her guess was right. Iris was indeed taken away by Marty.
Her heart was full of anger, but she didn't say anything immediately.
After the other side quieted down, a man's deep voice sounded. "Hello?"
Evelyn sneered and said through her gritted teeth, "Marty, what have you done? You took my mother with you without telling me. What on earth do you want to do? Where did you take her?"
On the other end of the line, Marty was standing in the corridor with his back against the wall and one hand in his pocket. With a relaxed look on his face, Marty narrowed his peach blossom eyes dangerously.
He chuckled and said, "My mother-in-law is ill. Of course, I have to bring her with me to receive medical treatment. Why are you so panicked?"
Hearing this, Evelyn was furious.
She said angrily, "Who is your mother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense. You're so shameless!"
After being scolded by Evelyn, Marty wasn't angry at all.
Marty said indifferently, "It doesn't matter even if you don't want to admit it. Iris had admitted to it. She even convinced me to marry you earlier. I think that's a good idea. Pick a date for us to register our marriage."
Evelyn was so pissed off by Marty.
She clenched her teeth and said with a cold smile, "Dream on! Let me tell you, don't bully and lie to Iris just because she is kind. I have nothing to do with you at present, or in the future!"
"Marty, I'm warning you. You'd better send her back to me as soon as possible. If anything happens to Iris, I will not let you off."
Marty didn't get angry when he heard her words. Instead, he laughed.
"Oh? What can you do to me? Tell me about it. I'm all ears."
Judging from his careless tone of voice, it was obvious that he was sure that Evelyn wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Because of that, Evelyn could hardly control her anger.
She felt so powerless. For Marty, her threat was simply toothless.
