Therefore, she was so frightened that she started crying. She hadn’t destroyed Evelyn yet, so she was naturally unwilling to lose like this. Natalie lived with Melanie. To be precise, Melanie lived with her now. After Melanie and Barry got divorced, she was left with nothing, so she could only live here with Natalie. Melanie was involved in Natalie’s plan tonight to find some men to humiliate Evelyn as well. Both Melanie and Natalie believed that Evelyn would be destroyed by the time the incident happened, and they would be extremely satisfied by then.Like mother, like daughter. Melanie and Natalie were both people who would do things regardless of the consequences. They simply wanted to make Evelyn miserable now so that they could vent their anger. They did not want to think about what Rowan would do to them later, or even how miserable they would be.In the end, they failed to hurt Evelyn, and Natalie was now in trouble instead.Natalie cried and went to Melanie’s room to loo
Melanie could only agree. “Okay.”Natalie got up from the ground and went to the bathroom to wash her tears away. She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looked at herself, and smiled as if nothing had happened. Why did she have to fear Rowan? What could he do to her?In any case, she was the daughter of the Stewarts and the chief jewelry designer of Barry’s Jewelry.As Natalie had used despicable methods to find men to harm Evelyn, she assumed that Rowan would use her method as well. However, Rowan would not bother to stoop to such lowly means. For Rowan, destroying a person’s spirit was more satisfying than hurting a person physically. *Evelyn made breakfast after getting up early. After having a simple breakfast with Helena, she was ready to get to work.Just when she was about to go out, she received a phone call from Rowan. Evelyn wondered why he was looking for her so early in the morning, but after she answered the call, she heard his clear voice asking on the oth
In the realm of love, both parties were equal. No one towered over the other, and there was no such thing as being inferior. Evelyn found her eyes getting a bit misty at his words. He hadn't uttered any sweet nothings this time. It was just a few simple sentences, yet they were enough to move her."But isn't picking me up and dropping me off for work a waste of time? You have to wake up early and come to my place..." Evelyn said, expressing her concern for his efforts. His residence was originally close to the company, but now he deliberately took a detour to pick her up before heading to the office together.Seizing the opportunity, Rowan said, "So, if you move in with me, that would make our commutes more convenient."This time, Evelyn was taken aback. She bit her lip and stared at him. What was he thinking? They had just established their romantic relationship last night, and he was already inviting her to move into his place today.Rowan looked at her surprised expressi
Julian, who had prepared breakfast early and entered the bedroom, approached Nora with a smile and asked, "Did something good happen? You're smiling so much."Nora happily shared her excitement with Julian. "I think Rowan might have some good news soon! Last night, he spent the night with Evelyn.""Is there any evidence?" Julian found it hard to believe."Just now, I called Ms. Stewart. She said they were almost arriving at the company, so they were definitely together. Isn't it likely that they spent the night together last night?" Nora analyzed the situation for Julian. Julian sighed. "Can't it be that Rowan just went to pick her up for work early in the morning?"Julian knew what had happened last night. In that situation, Evelyn couldn't have been with Rowan in that way, especially since Evelyn lived with her mother. Helena would never allow her daughter to spend the night with Rowan.Moreover, last night, before going to sleep, Rowan had called him and briefed him on some t
Otherwise, how could Evelyn have encountered a man like Rowan, and moreover, be so cherished by him?Evelyn smiled and comforted Amy. "Amy, you'll definitely meet a man who loves you deeply in the future."Amy suppressed her own resentful emotions, returning to her usual tough workplace demeanor. She sighed and said casually, "Hopefully, but if I can't find one, it doesn't matter. I can live on my own."As the two walked toward the elevator, it arrived just in time. They stepped in, and not far behind them, Rowan quickened his pace to join them in the elevator.So, what used to be a harmonious pair became a trio again. Later, a few more people entered the elevator, and the three of them retreated to the innermost corner.During the morning rush to work, the elevator was still quite crowded. Evelyn initially wanted to maintain some distance from Rowan. However, due to the crowd, Rowan simply lifted his hand and pulled Evelyn into his embrace as he was afraid that she might get
Amy's tone was icy and mocking. Lara echoed Amy's words. "Exactly. I’m sure her own designs are unpresentable."Evelyn refrained from expressing any opinions on their discussion. Everything that happened was Natalie's own doing.Who could Natalie blame but herself?During lunch, Lara came over to invite Evelyn to eat together as usual. Amy intervened and pulled Lara away, saying, "The big boss already booked her for lunch this morning. I guess you'll be eating alone from now on.""What?"Lara felt depressed as Amy dragged her away. Evelyn smiled, shut down her computer, and went to look for Rowan.When Evelyn arrived at Rowan's office, he was still busy. Upon seeing her, he temporarily stopped working.He walked over to her and held her as he apologized. "I originally planned to take you out for lunch, but I have some unfinished work, so I ordered takeout."Evelyn raised her eyebrows and smiled at him. "It's okay. Anything will do."She came to have lunch with him not for
Rowan then dropped the topic, and they both quietly ate their food.However, Evelyn found this meal hard to digest. As she ate, thoughts of what he said about the sensation in bed kept returning, making her uneasy.Eventually, Evelyn diverted her attention with a new topic. "Was Natalie's scandal your doing?"Without the need for confirmation, she was already quite certain it was him."Yeah." Rowan admitted straightforwardly. "Giving a quick end to someone like her would be letting her off too lightly. I prefer to torment her slowly. Ruining her reputation is the first step. I'll make everyone despise her and then leave her with nothing."Taking Natalie's life directly in a society governed by the rule of law was, of course, not allowed. But Rowan had ways to make her life worse than death. Exposing Natalie's plagiarism was just the beginning. He intended to make her unwelcome in the entire design industry. People would shun her due to her tarnished reputation, and no one would
No matter how bad he was in the eyes of outsiders or how harsh he was toward others, what did it have to do with her? She did not care at all because he doted on her and loved her wholeheartedly. That was enough. It was enough for her to fall in love with him. She would not regret it, let alone back down even if she stayed like this for the rest of her life. Rowan was very satisfied with her answer. “Let’s continue eating.”In fact, they were almost done eating. Evelyn really could not eat any more. She only took a few bites before putting down her bowl and spoon.Rowan had also finished eating, but only a few minutes had passed. He had asked Oliver to let Barry wait for half an hour, so what should he do with the remaining time?This was the first time Evelyn was spending time alone with Rowan as his girlfriend. He had something to do when they were eating just now, so she did not feel any discomfort. Evelyn felt awkward for no reason now that the meal was over. Were they goi
