Chapter 16 The Ex-wife is Truly Stunning
"Hey, who is she sitting next to? Isn't that Landon Taylor, the president of KnightSpear Group in Hameen?"
Eric raised his eyebrows rebelliously and playfully said, "Isn't Landon always restraining himself and never setting foot in this kind of place? How did he break his vows tonight?"
It was not surprising that Edward and Eric would simultaneously mistake Simon for Landon.
Because Evelyn's four brothers were actually quadruplets, Landon and Simon looked exactly the same at first glance. It was easy for unfamiliar people to mistake them.
"Damn it! I'm jealous. Such a beautiful woman should be my lover. What can she do with Landon? Will they sit on the bed holding hands and praying together?" Eric became more and more excited as he spoke.
Downstairs, Evelyn smiled sweetly at Simon.
Edward felt a sudden pain in his heart.
Once, her smile belonged only to him.
What's more infuriating was that the overwhelming scandal seemed not to affect her. She still had the mood to seek pleasure and enjoyment!
And Edward was torn all day. He was either busy solving problems or thinking about how to explain to her.
"Well, why don't I just take her tonight? Although she is Landon's woman, I don't care. I can still score with a goalie." Eric licked his lips, eager to make a move.
"Do not covet her. She is my wife."
Eric couldn't believe it.
"Ex-wife," Edward added. His throat felt like it was stuck with a sharp thorn, making him uncomfortable.
"What? Is she your dull ex-wife? Edward, are you blind, stupid, or both? Damn it, she's a beauty. She's way better than Nicole, who you like so much!"
Edward gave Eric a cold stare. King in Mugden timidly stuck out his tongue. "Oops, I'm just expressing my thoughts. After all, when I said I wanted to meet your wife back then, you said I didn't need to see that kind of woman."
"I thought she was as ugly as a toad , but I didn't expect... hey, where are you going?"
Eric didn't finish his sentence, and Edward had already rushed out the door.
Meanwhile, Evelyn and Simon had been drinking a lot of alcohol. Her fair cheeks were as red as peaches.
"Evelyn, are you okay?" Simon asked, concerned, when he saw she was a bit drunk.
"Another round! Let's roll the dice!" Evelyn had a decent tolerance for alcohol. She was just feeling sad, so she got drunk a little faster.
At this time, Simon's superior called him. He had to answer the call because an important task might have been assigned to him, so he apologized and said, "Evelyn, please wait for me. I'll be back after I take this call."
Evelyn waved her hand casually. "Go ahead!"
The "protective net" was temporarily lifted, and the men around gradually approached her like sharks smelling blood.
With tears in her eyes, Evelyn leisurely scanned them as if she was choosing handsome men.
This one was too short, that one was too skinny, this one had a flat nose bridge, that one had small eyes...
No man could compare to her ex-husband.
Too bad he was so good-looking! It turned out he was useless, without any real talent. He wasted her passion and love.
At that moment, Evelyn noticed that a few wealthy men were forcing a girl to drink at the nearby booth. And the disgusting man who was laughing was none other than Nicole's brother, Dick!
What made Evelyn even more intolerable was that she also saw one of the men secretly put a drug in the cup and hand it to Dick. Immediately, her anger surged, and she quickly got up and walked towards them.
"Hey! What a beauty!" The men drooled at the sight of Evelyn.
As soon as Dick caught sight of this stunning beauty, he lost interest in the woman in his arms.
"You guys seem to be having so much fun. Let me join you," Evelyn said, appearing a little drunk but with a different kind of charm.
"Whatever you want to do, I'll accompany you," Dick leered as he licked his lips.
Evelyn picked up the drugged drink. "It's simple. You drink this cup."
The group fell silent, and Dick's oily face turned dark.
Evelyn knew that the drink contained a heavy dose of drugs. There was no way she would drink it!
"You won't drink it? Then let me feed it to you!"
With that said, Evelyn's beautiful eyes became sharp, and she splashed the entire cup of alcohol onto Dick's face!
Everyone was shocked. The girl was also so frightened that she screamed and moved aside.
"Damn it! You bitch, how dare you splash me? Do you know who I am?" Dick angrily wiped his face and cursed.
"I don't care who you are. Your mouth is like an asshole. You forced the girl to drink and drugged her. Your behavior is seriously disgusting," Evelyn casually tossed her long hair, exuding great charm.
Dick was furious.
If there weren't so many people around, he would have wanted to slap her!
At this moment, two bouncers from the Adams family caught up. Dick thought of an idea and ordered the bouncers to escort her out.
He was determined to beat her up, but he wanted to use her in bed first so that he could fully enjoy her!
The two tall bouncers rushed forward. Although Evelyn was drunk, her muscle memory made her react quickly and dodge. The two bouncers embarrassingly missed their target.
"You're too slow," Evelyn yawned.
"Get her!" Dick shouted as he wiped his face.
One of the bouncers got up and tried to grab Evelyn's shoulder.
However, at this moment, a tall figure flashed in front of her, grabbed the bouncer's arm, and swiftly flipped him over.
In an instant, a man who was about six feet tall was knocked down to the ground!
"Amazing!"
Evelyn belched in a daze, leaning her limp body back.
Suddenly, a strong palm supported her slim waist. She felt his warm breath spray against her cheek—it was hot and ticklish.
"Uh...who is it? Don't come near me!" Evelyn struggled a bit.
"Lily, open your eyes and see who I am."
It was a familiar voice.
It was cold, magnetic, and captivating.
Evelyn's heart pounded. She slowly raised her eyes and met Edward's cold yet captivating gaze.
He squinted his eyes.
Her lips were a vibrant red, and she possessed a natural allure. If it weren't for the innocent and pure gaze in her eyes, resembling that of a deer, he wouldn't dare to believe that this was Lily, his wife of three years.
"Lily, you've become audacious. Are you picking fights everywhere just because you have Landon behind you?" he said.
"Yeah, so what?" Evelyn raised her nose defiantly and looked playful. "Every time I see someone from the Adams family, I feel like hitting them. Do you have any objections? Well, it doesn't matter!"
Edward's hand, supporting her waist, tightened a little as if to punish her.
"Ouch, that hurts. Let go of me..." Evelyn cooed, leaning into Edward's embrace. She sounded soft due to her recent anger and intoxication.
No man could resist her.
Edward's gaze grew even deeper.
"My brother-in-law?" Dick exclaimed in shock.
"Mr. Adams, what do you mean by that?" Edward looked at him coldly. "Also, Nicole and I haven't officially gotten married yet. It's inappropriate to call me your brother-in-law."
Dick was scolded into silence.
Evelyn found Nicole truly disgusting.
She despised Nicole, and she despised Edward for calling her in such an affectionate tone.
After three years of marriage, he always called her by her name, maintaining a distant atmosphere.
The more Evelyn thought about it, the sadder she felt. So she exerted all her strength and broke free from Edward's arms. She would rather stumble than let him touch her.
"Apologize to her," Edward commanded.
He was speaking to Dick, but his gaze never left Evelyn.
After all, she was quite drunk.
"It was this bitch who suddenly came over and splashed alcohol on my face for no reason, and she even physically attacked me! She should be the one apologizing!" Dick was extremely dissatisfied.
"Watch your language." Edward's expression darkened. "She's my ex-wife."
