Chapter 627 Incredibly Calm
What kind of logic was this?
Evelyn thought for a moment before responding, "Let's wait at least until the end of the year, as promised with your Mom. We'll talk about the rest later."
Marty's face darkened even more when he heard that.
But he was also aware that this was a promise he had made to Charlotte.
Also, it was Charlotte's condition for allowing him and Evelyn to marry for the time being.
He had no choice but to keep his words.
In the end, he could only stand there helplessly as he watched her depart.
Of course, Evelyn was being picked up by a driver outside.
Hurriedly jumping out of the car, Carrie grabbed a cap, a pair of sunglasses, and a mask for Evelyn. After making sure that nothing was missing, she hurried Evelyn to the car and drove away.
Evelyn's work was placed on hold for a few days as a result of Forbos' previous kidnapping. Thus, when she arrived at the crew, she would film the part she left behind.
As for the rumors online, people in the crew had undoubtedly heard them all.
Some people were indifferent, while others were curious about it.
But they all had a tacit understanding that no one would bring it up while Evelyn was present.
After all, this was not something to be proud of.
Furthermore, discussing it in front of her would seem to be an act of gossiping and purposefully embarrassing her.
Evelyn was aware that there would be rumors about her going on behind her back.
However, as long as they didn't say it in front of her face, she would gladly pretend she did not know.
Day after day passed in such tranquillity.
There had been a heated discussion on the Internet for a few days, but Evelyn did not respond at all. Hence, Melodie was bored after two days of her one-person performance.
Normally, if the other party reacted, the news would become much fiery.
No matter how hot a topic was, the audience would lose interest when they realized there was nothing more to it.
They would then eventually scatter and stop paying attention to it.
However, this was easier said than done. It was definitely difficult to carry out.
After all, Evelyn was well aware that many people on the Internet were discussing and criticizing her.
With the current situation, it was incredibly challenging for her to pretend that she did not know anything.
Fortunately, Evelyn was obedient. Under Marissa's guidance, she did not respond to what people had been saying online at all.
To facilitate things, she did not even use her phone for the past few days, let alone Twitter.
Carrie was the one who helped her deal with the things she needed to do on her phone regularly.
As a result, although Evelyn did not see the critiques, Carrie did.
Now, Carrie felt even more sympathy for Evelyn.
How could these people be so vicious?
In fact, Evelyn was the victim, so why did they not sympathize with her and instead mocked her?
Look at them! How could they say such things?
Evelyn was called the murderer's daughter. Besides, they said she deserved to be publicly shamed and should leave the entertainment industry. Furthermore, they cursed her to death!
What did they know?
They were simply following the crowd!
Evelyn had advanced rapidly in the entertainment industry in recent years, and she had quietly clinched the title of best actress.
As a result, she took part in a lot of shows. Many people were obviously envious when they saw this.
As her scandals were being exposed at the time, many people jumped at the chance to attack her.
All of a sudden, the Internet became inundated with negativity.
On the other side, Evelyn was incredibly calm.
That night, she had just finished filming a play and sat down to study the script for the next play.
Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder. When she looked up, she saw Anthony approaching her.
He was holding a cup that was still steaming.
Then, Anthony squatted down and smiled as he said, "Hot cocoa. Gick made it. Have some! It's cold out here."
When Evelyn heard that, she instantly took it and smiled, "Thank you."
Anthony smiled and didn't say anything.
They were the male and female leads of the play, so they generally had a lot to say.
Therefore, when people saw them sitting together, they assumed it was natural and did not overthink it.
Anthony dragged a stool over and sat down beside her.
It was already late at night.
The filming site was brightly lit, but the light in the resting area was dim.
Because the weather was too cold, many of the main actors in the crew had been given a small portable heater.
Although the heater was relatively small, it was useful.
Everyone liked it very much.
When Gick saw Anthony sitting here, he brought over Anthony's heater.
After placing it in front of him, Anthony nodded and let him rest.
Later, when no one was around, he turned to Evelyn and asked, "How are you?"
Something else appeared to be hidden in his words.
It was as if he wanted to say something but stopped at second thought.
Of course, Evelyn knew what he meant.
She smiled as she felt the heat from the heater.
"I'm fine."
Anthony frowned slightly when he saw her smile.
"I know that what is said on the Internet is not true. If you need someone to speak for you or to dispel rumors, I can help at any time..."
However, before he could finish her words, he was interrupted by Evelyn.
She turned to look at Anthony with a grateful and warm smile on her beautiful face.
Her voice was as light as a feather in the middle of the night, softly soothing one's heart.
She then replied, "No, it's fine. No one will believe you even if you say anything. So, it's better to ignore it rather than explain it. Actually, others' opinions do not concern me at all."
Anthony looked at her quietly. The warm light from the lit-up building at night brought out her elegance, and her bright pupils had a majestic beauty to them.
At that time, he could only feel his heart being bitter and sour.
It was just like her strong appearance, as well as her equally sour heart.
Then, he suddenly smiled lightly.
"Now I finally understand why Marty likes you."
Evelyn was stunned.
She turned her head and saw a self-mocking smile on his face. He was staring off into the distance. Besides, he seemed to be both regretful and reluctant.
"You are the best girl I have ever met. Marty has always had a good taste and is very clever."
"To be honest, I am relieved that you are with him."
Evelyn remained quiet because she did not know what to say.
Anthony abruptly turned around and gave her a stern look. "Do you mind if I ask you a question?"
