Chapter 589 No Need To Act
However, she knew that no matter what Forbos was thinking, he must have ulterior motives.
Therefore, she would never agree to let him take care of her mother.
With that in mind, Evelyn rejected him without hesitation. "No, thanks. She is fine now and doesn't need your care."
After Forbos heard what she said, his face immediately darkened.
"Evelyn, what are you talking about? No matter what, she is my wife! You are my daughter. Since your mother and I are not divorced yet, we are still legally married. Of course, I may visit when she is ill."
Tilting her head, Evelyn looked at him coldly.
After a while, she sneered.
"Come on, you don't have to act like this in front of me. Over the years, my mother has always been in poor health. If she hasn't been hospitalized for more than ten or twenty times, there must be at least eight or nine times, right? When have you ever been concerned about her well-being?"
"Now that you know she's going to have an operation, all of a sudden, you come to show concern for her and want to take care of her? Forbos, what exactly are you up to? Why don't you just tell me?"
"This way, we can talk about it clearly. If you don't go too far, maybe I can still meet your needs. But if you want to see my mother, I'll tell you that it is impossible."
As soon as she finished speaking, Forbos's face suddenly changed.
Suddenly, he stood up, staring at Evelyn, as he shouted angrily. "Evelyn, don't go too far! She's my wife. Why do you think you have the right to refuse me! As long as I want to, I can meet her!"
Also standing up, Evelyn looked at him with a sneer.
"Your wife? Have you done your duty as a husband these years? Have you ever helped her? Have you taken care of her? Have you been there when she was ill? Have you been there when she was sad?"
"You didn't. What you did was endless ridicule and abuse. The only thing you did was to take away the money she had worked hard to save and gambled with it over again. What you have given her is always sadness and disappointment. Now, you actually have the face to say that you are her husband?"
Slap—
As soon as she finished her words, she was slapped in the face.
At that moment, Forbos was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
He glared at Evelyn angrily. It was as if his eyes were knives, poking holes in her body.
"You, how dare you! Do you really think that you are so strong now that you can teach me a lesson? Today, I have to..."
As he was speaking, he was about to raise his hand again.
Just then, Evelyn's cell phone rang all of a sudden.
The sudden ringing of her cell phone broke the tense atmosphere between them. Immediately, she rushed to the tea table and took her cell phone out of her bag.
On the phone, the caller ID indicated that it was Marty.
All of her grievances and fears seemed to suddenly collapse at this moment.
While she couldn't stop her tears from falling down, she looked back at Forbos and answered the phone without hesitation.
"Hello."
The moment she answered the call, Forbos stretched out his hand and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to stop her.
But it was too late.
Evelyn had already answered the phone and deliberately turned on the loudspeaker.
Then, Marty's gentle voice was heard.
"Evelyn, are you asleep?"
When she heard his voice, she tried her best to hold back her tears. Clenching her fist, she tried her best to sound normal.
"Not yet. Anything?"
"Oh, it's nothing." As he replied, his voice was filled with a joyful smile, and it sounded extremely gentle.
"I miss you. I just wanted to hear your voice. It's late now, you should go to bed early."
Hearing that, Evelyn forced a smile. Even though she knew he couldn't see her, she still smiled and said, "Well, you too."
"Goodnight."
"Yes, good night."
After hanging up the phone, she turned to look at Forbos, who was confused.
Then, she waved the phone in her hand.
"So? Do you still want to hit me?"
When Forbos heard that, his facial expression changed, and his eyes were filled with rage.
How could he not remember that the voice of the man on the phone was the one who fought him in the bar last time in order to help Evelyn?
After the incident, he was reluctant to take the defeat, so he sent someone to investigate the identity of that person.
But he couldn't find out anything.
This did not ease Forbos's worries. On the contrary, it made him even more alert.
After all, he had lived for dozens of years, and although he had always been a gangster, he had seen much of life.
He knew that there were many extraordinary people hidden from view in Flaucford. Since he couldn't even find out the person's identity or information, it could only be meant that he was very likely to be a powerful figure.
Moreover, according to the current status of Evelyn in the entertainment circle, it was also very easy for her to get in touch with such a figure.
As he thought about this, Forbos's eyes turned cold.
Sneered, he looked at Evelyn and said disdainfully, "I didn't expect that you have made it to the upper-class society now. Well, although I am not your biological father, I have raised you. Now that you are famous, it's good that you are able to find a rich man to get married to. When the time comes, remember to ask him to treat his father-in-law well."
Hearing his words, Evelyn rolled her eyes in anger.
Considering what he had done in those days, it was only a handful of times when he actually came home with money. Most of the time, he was the one who took money from home and used it for gambling and drinking. Did he say that he had raised her up?
And he actually dared to say that!
As Evelyn didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, she began chasing him out directly.
"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave now, I'll call the police!"
Unexpectedly, Forbos was not afraid of her at all.
Not only he didn't leave, he leaned to the sofa, laughing ruffianly, and said, "Sure, call the police! Let everyone know that Ms. Hussain, the famous celebrity has a father like me. I don't think anyone will look up to you in the entertainment circle in the future."
Upon hearing that, Evelyn frowned.
When facing an unscrupulous person like Forbos, it was really not feasible to deal with him like how she would to a normal person.
Hence, she took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the fire burning in her heart.
Then, she asked again, "Well, why don't you come straight to the point? What do you really want?"
Without saying a word, Forbos stretched out his hand as he pinched his thumb and index finger gently.
Money!
Seeing that, Evelyn was so angry that she burst out laughing instead.
Although she had already guessed that he came here for that purpose, she couldn't help but get angry when he stretched out his hand to ask for money again.
However, she thought about it for a while and did not refuse in a hurry.
Instead, she stood up and walked into the room, bringing out a check with her.
When Forbos saw her holding the cheque in her hand, his eyes lit up.
Oh my god! Where did she hide it?
Why didn't he find that when he came here last time?
While Evelyn stared at his greedy eyes with vigilance, she didn't write him the check immediately.
In turn, she stood a few steps away from him, looking at him and said, "If you want money, you can have it. Here are 20 million dollars, which is all my savings. As you know, in order to support you and pay for my mon's illness these years, this is all I have left."
