"Of course, I have sothing to discuss, but to talk business we need to fill our bellies first," Evelyn Claire pointed ahead: "Let’s go, let’s go. I’ve co out to give you news today, you’ve got to treat to sothing delicious."
Evie Larkin snorted coldly and started the car to leave.
She actually didn’t want to have a al with Evelyn Claire.
But if she didn’t go, soone who loves to take advantage like Evelyn Claire would not give her the news she wanted.
Since she had nothing else to do anyway, she might as well go eat with her.
The two arrived at a Western restaurant a bit far from the company.
This was Evelyn Claire’s chosen spot, because no one from the company would co here at midday.
She was both afraid of being seen and also wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of a free al.
After all, Evie Larkin had so savings over the years.
After entering the restaurant, she ordered energetically. She chose whatever she felt like eating.
Evie Larkin said annoyed, "Have you not eaten in half a lifeti or sothing?"
"Since you’re treating, of course I have to eat more.
I find that I only get to have delicious food when I hang out with you."
Evie Larkin got impatient, "What on earth do you want to tell ?"
"Evie, what I’m about to say might make you very angry.
Even so, do you still want to hear it?
Honestly, as your friend, hearing these rumors made feel indignant on your behalf."
Evie Larkin gritted her teeth, "Are you going to say it or not?"
"Look at you, getting angry with . I’m doing this for your sake. I have to ask for your opinion. What if you can’t handle what I’m about to say?
Since you insist on hearing it, I’ll tell you. But if you get angry later, you’re not allowed to bla ."
As she spoke, she poured herself a glass of juice: "Did you know, I heard soone say yesterday that to sabotage Director Forrest and the future Young Lady, you actually sent that kind of perverted express package to Jane Quinlan."
"What?" Evie Larkin was surprised, so the news had leaked out after all?
"I knew it, Jane Quinlan wouldn’t let it lie; she was bound to set up."
"I also think it’s a setup, you’re not that kind of person."
Evie Larkin frowned at her, "You believe ?"
"Why wouldn’t I? In the company, everyone dislikes .
But you were genuinely nice to , weren’t you?
And besides, I’ve betrayed you before.
But you didn’t get mad at . Instead, you were still willing to be friends with .
Honestly, it’s hard to find soone as kind-hearted as you elsewhere.
I know you really hate Jane Quinlan, but you wouldn’t do that."
Evie Larkin sighed in frustration: "But what’s the use of only you believing ?
The whole world doesn’t believe ; they only choose to believe Jane Quinlan.
Because Jane Quinlan will soon beco their Young Lady.
But ? I’ve been abandoned by the Forrest Family."
Evelyn Claire reached out and held Evie Larkin’s hand.
"Evie, don’t be like this, I know you feel wronged, but you must stay strong.
Jane Quinlan might be smug now, but to , Director Forrest doesn’t have any real heart for her.
Don’t you know? He’s had so many girlfriends before, just fooling around.
This Jane Quinlan has neither looks nor background.
Sooner or later Director Forrest will tire of her."
Evie Larkin knew Evelyn Claire was trying to comfort her, but she also understood Kay Forrest’s character.
His previous girlfriends were indeed rely for play.
None lasted more than a month.
He used to change girlfriends faster than others bought new clothes.
But this ti with Jane Quinlan... not only has it been several months, but he’s also been so protective of her.
She could sense Kay Forrest’s concern for Jane Quinlan.
It was a kind of light never previously seen in Kay’s eyes.
Evie Larkin took a sip of her waterlon juice, "You don’t understand, Jane Quinlan ans sothing different to Kay this ti.
Jane Quinlan is pregnant, so she will definitely marry Kay.
Not to ntion Kay wouldn’t let her be a single mother, even the old Forrest wouldn’t agree to it."
Evelyn Claire’s brows furrowed. Jane Quinlan was pregnant?
This was truly... major news.
Just then, the steak arrived, and Evelyn Claire placed the plate in front of her and started cutting the steak.
"Evie, did you and Wendy fall out?
These past few days when I tried to cozy up to Wendy, she wouldn’t even bother with .
She kept telling to stay away from her."
Evie Larkin’s face turned cold, "Wendy is no saint either."
I suspect she’s the one behind the express delivery incident.
But what I didn’t expect was that she would actually join forces with Jane Quinlan to deal with .
I truly underestimated that woman."
Even up to today, when she thinks about the scene where Wendy and Jane Quinlan tead up against her, she still feels very angry.
"You’re saying Wendy tead up with Jane Quinlan? You must be kidding.
Weren’t the two of them incompatible as fire and water? How could they possibly join forces?
I even went to persuade Wendy to team up with you that day. She’s just too cunning, ultimately choosing Jane Quinlan."
Evelyn Claire looked surprised, Emily Quinlan pouted: "What’s so surprising about that? Jane Quinlan is now the woman by Kay Forrest’s side.
Teaming up with to fight Jane Quinlan might not ensure victory.
But if she teams up with Jane Quinlan against , it would be a breeze.
People are selfish, and she’s no different."
Evelyn Claire clicked her tongue twice: "Then I’d better be more careful around her in the future, or else I wouldn’t even know if she stabs in the back one day."
"There’s no need for her to stab you. You don’t have much to do with her, and she wouldn’t go after you.
Do you have any other gossip to share with ?"
Evie Larkin thought for a mont: "These past few days, Jane Quinlan and Director Forrest have been flaunting their affection constantly.
Originally, everyone was still gossiping about the relationship among you three.
Ever since you left, you’ve beco the one and only bad person.
Others say you left out of sheer sha and couldn’t take it anymore.
In reality, they know jack shit, such boredom."
This was sothing Evie Larkin had anticipated long ago.
"By the way, Evie, what are you up to now? Found a job yet?
Even though you have savings, you can’t just keep living like this."
Evie Larkin hugged herself: "That’s none of your business. Just mind your own affairs.
I’ve got things to do, so I’ll leave first. If anything cos up, you can find then."
Evelyn Claire chuckled: "Don’t forget to settle the bill, I didn’t bring any money when I ca out.
Oh, right, and the cab fare too, or I’ll be late getting back. Lately, Director Qu’s been crazy, and I don’t want to cross her."
Evie Larkin glanced at Evelyn Claire and took out a hundred-dollar bill from her wallet, placing it on her table.
"Get so dignity, will you? Living every day like a beggar, is that fun?"
After saying that, she left with arrogance in her high heels.
Evelyn Claire’s brow rose in defiance, her hand chopping viciously at the beef on her plate.
The beef was dium-rare, and when brought to her mouth, blood stained the corners of her lips.
She gave a cold, charming smile and wiped her mouth with a white handkerchief.
Beggar... Hah, Evie Larkin, a beggar who has nothing, dares to mock her?
It seems she still doesn’t know her own worth, how laughable.
After returning to the company, since it was before work hours, she called Wendy.
Seeing that it was Evelyn Claire calling, Wendy directly hung up.
In her eyes, Evie Larkin was a scheming bitch, and Evelyn Claire was likewise no good.
She originally had no dealings with Evie Larkin.
It was all because Evelyn Claire kept playing matchmaker that she got involved with that shaless woman.
Ever since being tricked by Evie Larkin last ti, she’d resolved to keep a distance from Evelyn Claire in her heart.
Having such a gossip-monger close by, listening to her gossip was one thing.
But what if her own words were spread by her as gossip?
She shook her head and continued working.
The next day at noon, when she went to the cafeteria to eat, she turned around after getting her food and saw Evelyn Claire waving at her from where she was sitting.
Feeling embarrassed, she found an empty table to sit down, as if she didn’t see Evelyn Claire at all.
But Evelyn Claire didn’t give up; she followed with her al and sat down to the left of her.
"Hey Wendy, what did I ever do to offend you?
Lately, you’ve been so cold to .
If I did sothing wrong, you could at least tell ."
"Can’t you just leave alone? Just quietly eat your al, it’s not like I’m bothering you."
Evelyn Claire chuckled: "Well, I can’t help it, I just can’t keep my mouth shut.
I’ll tell you, Evie Larkin asked to et up with yesterday, do you know what she said?"
"I’m not interested." Wendy wasn’t interested in eavesdropping.
"Oh my Wendy, you’re such a conversation killer.
Well, whatever, I’m a blabbermouth and I just can’t keep secrets.
Do you know? She said that you and Jane Quinlan tead up against her."
