Chapter 623 Enemies Often Cross Each Other's Path
However, Marty took Evelyn's words to heart.
Therefore, he dragged her to the shopping mall to pick the rings as soon as they finished their meal.
In fact, he originally intended to customize a pair of rings.
But it would take far too long to customize one. Besides, Evelyn had to work and attend many events at times. So, it was inconvenient for her to wear the ring.
In the end, they discussed and decided not to complicate things. They would go to the mall and pick out a pair of rings they liked.
Anyway, it was just a sense of ceremony.
Despite that, she did not anticipate meeting an unwelcomed person before even getting the ring.
Well, enemies often cross each other's path.
Melodie was shopping with a few of her rich friends when she ran into Marty and Evelyn.
Her expression shifted abruptly.
At this time, Evelyn and Marty hadn't seen her yet. They were standing in front of a counter, looking at the rings.
"Can you show me this?"
Evelyn picked a heart-shaped diamond ring. Just as she spoke, she heard a sarcastic voice coming from the side.
"Oh, I was just wondering who it was! It turned out to be you."
When Evelyn and Marty looked up and saw it was her, they frowned slightly.
Evelyn didn't want to be entangled with someone like her. "Let's go over there and have a look," she whispered as she gently pulled Marty.
Marty, too, saw no point in getting into a fight with a woman.
It would not be a glorious victory, and it would also be dishonorable to lose.
Therefore, he didn't want to respond to her. He nodded and was ready to leave with Evelyn's hand in his.
Melodie became even more enraged as she saw his attitude.
After all, although Marty used to hate her, it wasn't as bad as it was now. He didn't even want to say a word to her now.
She became sad all of a sudden. She took a few quick steps forward and stood in front of them.
"Stop right there!"
Marty's face suddenly darkened.
"Get out of the way!"
In fact, Melodie was terrified in her heart. However, the thought of him leaving her after she had loved him for so long left her no choice but bit the bullet.
"No, I won't! Marty, do you know what kind of woman she is? Is it really worth it for a woman who can betray you for money?"
Marty's eyes instantly turned cold.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Evelyn pinched him lightly.
She indicated that he shouldn't say anything more.
Hence, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said nothing more.
After that, Evelyn grinned as she gazed at Melodie. "Miss Tuscan, you have been trying so hard to separate us. Let's not talk about what kind of woman I am and whether I deserve him. The question is, do these have anything to do with you? What right do you have to come here and question me like this?"
Melodie suddenly froze.
She had never expected that Evelyn would give such a reply.
She was, indeed, nobody to question Evelyn.
Although she had been with Marty before, it was definitely one-sided.
Marty had never publicly acknowledged their relationship.
As a result, no matter how frustrated she was at the moment, she had no right to question them.
Thinking about this, Melodie rolled her eyes and sneered, "At least, you really took my money last time, didn't you?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Marty.
There was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, and it was the fact that Marty did not fully grasp what had happened before.
So he didn't care that much when she mentioned it last time.
"Marty, you don't know about it, right? I gave her a hundred million dollars before, and she promised to leave you as soon as she received the money."
"I know we have broken up, and I am nobody to meddle in your affairs anymore. But I really didn't want you to be duped, so I came up with this idea."
"I would not have said anything if she had not collected the money at the time. But you two are now together, although she accepted the money!"
"She is simply a woman who would leave you for a hundred million dollars. Do you really want to be with her? Aren't you afraid that it will happen again?"
As soon as Melodie's voice fell, all the people fell into silence.
This was a high-end mall. There were not a lot of people who could afford to shop here. Furthermore, it was a weekday, so there were even fewer people here.
Nonetheless, a shop assistant stood to the side, watching.
Everyone could not help feeling awkward when they heard this.
Of course, they knew Evelyn and Melodie. They were both well-known actresses in the entertainment industry.
When the shop assistant saw Marty and Evelyn coming over to buy the ring, she secretly rejoiced, thinking she had discovered a new pair of lovers.
Although they dared not to gossip about this because of Marty's identity, everyone had seen Evelyn's play and had a good impression of her. In their hearts, they wished her well.
But it soon became clear that things were not as easy as they thought.
Was it a love triangle?
Everyone's eyes were filled with disdain as they looked at Evelyn again.
After all, a woman who would betray her beloved man for money would be looked down upon everywhere she went.
Melodie, of course, noticed everyone's expressions, and there was a glint of pride in her eyes.
"Evelyn, how dare you challenge me!"
"When the time comes, I'd like to see if you still have such a good mood when you are a total mess!"
However, Melodie's wishful thinking was in vain in the next second.
As soon as Marty raised his hand, Aria, who had been following behind, immediately understood his meaning.
He took out a cheque worth one hundred million dollars from his bag.
"Is this the one hundred million dollars check you're referring to, Miss Tuscan?"
Melodie was stunned.
She quickly took it and looked at it.
Then her expression changed drastically.
She recognized the check as her signature was on it.
It was indeed the one she had given to Evelyn.
But wasn't this check in Evelyn's hands? Why was it with Marty?
Could it be that... she had already told him about this?
She raised her head in disbelief and looked at them.
Then, Marty said coldly while holding Evelyn's hand, "I apologize. My wife thought it was too interesting to see a woman willing to spend so much money to let her leave me at the time. So she made a joke and accepted it. But when she came back, she gave me the check."
"Therefore, there's no need for your concerns. Although your concerns have caused me trouble, I must thank you. You make me realize how much I love my wife."
"After all, it's hard to know who I really love without comparing. However, I hope that you can stop pestering us in the future. Not only are you tired, but we are tired of playing along with you. Do you agree?"
