At his words, Evelyn woke up abruptly.
This darn head!
The fate of the company relies on this one chance.
“Wait for me.” She hung up the phone, ran upstairs to pick out a dress…
When Evelyn arrived, Zane and the others were anxiously waiting at the door.
A figure suddenly rushed past her and ran towards the entrance, standing beside Jasper. It was Mia.
When Mia turned around and saw Evelyn, surprise colored her face, “Oh! Evelyn, you’re here too!”
Looking at Mia’s face, Evelyn’s good mood instantly vanished.
Really, so damn unlucky!
Evelyn said coldly, “You can be more artificial. If you go too far, I might just vomit directly on your skirt.”
“After all, your plain white dress is too bland.”
Mia, holding Jasper’s hand, froze instantly. Hatred surged in her eyes, but on her face, she maintained an injured look. She whispered, “Jasper, let’s go in first.”
Jasper frowned, immediately recalling the scene of meeting Evelyn at Harmony Haven last time.
Did she dare to be so arrogant? If it weren’t for Henry, what would she be?
“Evelyn, you better be nice to Mia, don’t force me to ruin you,” Jasper warned.
Evelyn responded indifferently, “Take care of yourself first.”
In his past life, Jasper didn’t have a good ending. After wholeheartedly supporting Mia, he nearly emptied The Reid family’s liquid assets. The family fell into chaos, and those who had been waiting for an opportunity to seize power fabricated some evidence, landing Jasper in prison. There was likely no chance for him to survive.
Evelyn maintained an arrogant yet graceful demeanor as she casually glanced at the two of them before entering the venue with Zane and the others. The fragrance of Evelyn still lingered in the air.
Jasper, with a darkened face, felt extremely annoyed. His anger earlier was not due to Evelyn’s words, but the scenes of Evelyn at Harmony Haven kept flashing in his mind.
“Jasper?” Mia’s expression changed.
After calling him countless times, Jasper finally snapped out of his thoughts. He quickly composed himself and softly said, “Let’s go inside.”
Mia nodded obediently, her lowered eyes flashing a sinister and malicious glint where Jasper couldn’t see.
That bitch Evelyn, after ruining William, still wanted to seduce Jasper. She was seeking death.
Mia had already investigated. Evelyn’s current company was nothing more than an empty shell. The manager resigned, and the financial chain broke. As long as the recruitment failed, Evelyn would have no chance of a comeback. Jasper had already prepared the funds.
Although Mia couldn’t find the surveillance footage from Harmony Haven, she accidentally acquired a video filmed by a waiter. She refused to believe that Henry, such a high and mighty man, would like a woman like this…
There were many people at the gaming funding event, but most of them were projects with insufficient funds or games suffering from massive player loss, projects lacking support.
Worried that Evelyn might get ahead, Mia quickly bought the rights to more than a dozen games as soon as she entered.
Seeing that Evelyn gained nothing, Mia breathed a sigh of relief. Her face filled with a triumphant expression.
Zane, infuriated, gritted his teeth, “Evelyn, Mia has snatched away the projects that Yancy and I had our eyes on. Aren’t you worried at all?”
“Boss,” Yancy pointed to a spot three meters away, “That one called Connor is the last project that can turn a profit. Hurry up and go.”
“Why should I be in a hurry?” Evelyn’s gaze casually swept through the venue, finally locking onto her target in the corner.
A man approaching fifty was dejectedly holding a proposal, seeking investors. The man was Glen, the founder of ‘Glory’. Ten years ago, ‘Glory’ became a nationwide sensation, flourishing for three years. Unfortunately, Glen was betrayed by a friend, spent two years in prison, and when he came out, everything had changed. ‘Glory’ had already become a forgotten game in the gaming industry.
In the previous life, it took Glen ten years to find a partner and revive “Glory.” This time, Evelyn was by his side, and she had to ensure that no one else got such a good deal.
Evelyn turned her head and saw Mia and Jasper talking to the man named Connor. This piqued her interest.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
The project led by Connor was the most promising one at the entire investment event. Mia was sure that Evelyn’s company couldn’t come up with that much money, so she wasn’t in a hurry to deal with it.
As soon as the negotiations with Connor were settled, Evelyn stepped in.
“Mr. Connor, hello. I am Evelyn Taylor, the director of YR Company.”
“Director Taylor,” Connor greeted politely. “I’m sorry, Miss Taylor has already finalized this project.”
“But you haven’t signed a contract yet, have you?” Evelyn asked.
