Evelyn’s eyes felt a little sore when she saw the mocking smile on William’s face. He was so ruthless that he dared to mention about her being beaten. Didn’t he think of her feelings at all?
William didn’t care what Evelyn was thinking because he would never waste his time on irrelevant people. “Everyone will be more tolerant to those who do good, but it’s different for those who do evil. You will get your retribution if you did something bad. No one can escape it!”
William walked past Evelyn after he said that and headed straight for his car. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings as she watched William’s car leave and disappear from her sight.
How could he treat her so coldly?
How could he change his mind so fast? Was everything in the past fake?
However, the warmth she felt was real. She snuggled in his arms and even took photos together. She was intimate with him at the ball and they even danced happily.
She could feel that his feelings for her were real at that masquerade ball. At that moment, she instantly fell in love with him when she looked into his gentle eyes.
She shoved her reserved personality aside and took the initiative to follow him. In that dark room, she took off her clothes and they were so intimate…
Evelyn felt sweet and dejected at the same time when she recalled those passionate moments.
When the staff of the jewellery shop saw Evelyn standing motionless at the door, they immediately opened the door and invited her in.
Evelyn suppressed her sadness and followed the staff into the VIP room. The staff then enthusiastically brought Evelyn tea and snacks.
Evelyn asked the staff to bring out the latest jewellery pieces. The jewellery in this shop was very novel and the designer was very famous.
Evelyn was here to pick out accessories today, but she was not in the mood to do so after meeting William.
She was looking at the latest releases absent-mindedly because her mind was filled with William.
In the end, she couldn’t control herself and took the initiative to ask the staff that was serving her. “Why was William here?”
Of course, the staff knew Evelyn’s identity. Since they wanted Evelyn to buy from them, they would not hide it from her. “William made a set of jewellery for his wife and he came here today to pick it up.”
“What kind of jewellery?” Evelyn immediately asked.
“I’m not too clear about the details. I only know that it was designed by a top designer that was hired by William. The jewellery cost and the inlaid cost are very expensive.”
Evelyn became agitated when she heard this. “Do you have a picture of the finished product? Let me have a look!”
“No, I don’t.”
“What about the blueprints? Can I have a look at that?”
What was wrong with Evelyn? Didn’t she know the rules of the industry? William hired a private designer and brought the drawings with him. They didn’t dare to reveal the blueprint to others so casually.
The staff member thought to himself, but he did not want to offend Evelyn. After a moment of hesitation, he replied tactfully, “This… William’s jewellery are custom-made and the blueprints should have been destroyed by now.”
Evelyn was not satisfied with the answer and she did not believe the staff at all. William had just taken away the jewelry, so the jewelry store would not destroy designs so quickly. She said unhappily, “Ask your manager to come and see me!”
The staff had no choice but to call the manager over, who entered with a smile all over his face. “Hello, Miss Gurney!”
“I want to take a look at William’s custom-made designs. I want to make an identical set to his,” Evelyn said very boldly.
The manager’s smile remained unchanged as he said in an apologetic tone, “I’m sorry, Miss Gurney. We can’t satisfy your request.”
“What do you mean? Are you afraid that I don’t have enough money to pay for it?” Evelyn’s tone became sharp.
“We know that you can pay for it, but it’s just that William brought the diamond here himself. It’s unique and the estimated price for it is about 20 million dollars. The designer he hired also made the design based on the diamond. You can only get an exact replica if you can find the exact same diamond, so…”
Evelyn blushed instantly when she heard this. The Gurney family was rich, but buying a set of jewellery that was worth 20 million was overboard.
The manager pretended not to see Evelyn’s flushed face and continued politely, “Miss Gurney, do you need me to do anything else?”
Evelyn suddenly stood up. “No! I have something to do and I have to go first!”
She walked out angrily while the manager and staff who received her politely sent her into the car. After they watched Evelyn’s car leave, they looked at each other with disdain in their eyes.
Evelyn really felt that she had suffered a blow this time. After getting in the car, she sat in the back row and she kept rubbing her forehead with her uninjured hand.
She was so angry and annoyed that she wanted to swear out loud!
Angel’s phone rang when Evelyn felt incredibly furious. She answered angrily, “Yes!”
“Miss Gurney, my servant made some delicious pastries today. I just asked her to send you a few of them. Are you at home?” Angel’s voice was filled with flattery.
Evelyn didn’t want to eat any pastries and she was still livid with anger. She said, “I’m not at home and I don’t like pastries!”
Angel felt upset when she heard Evelyn’s rude answer, but she suppressed her anger and asked, “Miss Gurney, what’s wrong with you? It seems like you’re upset right now, did something happen?”
Evelyn felt so wronged, but she couldn’t express it and she began to complain to Angel, “I’m so angry! I was so happy because I wanted to buy jewellery today, but I met William and he insulted me. Do you know what he did? He even customized a set of jewellery that’s worth 20 million dollars for Valeria.”
“I’m also angry just talking about it. Not only does William like to send expensive jewellery to her, but my grandparents do that as well. Let me tell you, my grandparents gave a very expensive set of jewellery to Valeria when I came to this country, but I could only stare at it. I don’t know how she could be so lucky. Could it be that she was a saint in her last life?”
“Haha, I think Valeria is just average. Her face is borderline acceptable and her figure is not good either. Why do so many people dote on her? William is so kind to her because he is blinded by love.”
Angel immediately echoed when she heard Evelyn’s words, “Yes, that’s the case. Her good figure must be lost now that she has a child. William will probably hate how she looks if she doesn’t get back in shape. Otherwise, why would he buy such expensive jewellery for her? It’s just that he’s not interested in her body anymore, so he wants to compensate her with material wealth. He is not short of money anyway.”
Evelyn felt much better when she heard Angel’s words. “Yes, since he could abandon his ex-girlfriend, he must have done the same to Valeria. After all, men can’t control their lust.”
