Ch. 2671..2680

Chapter 2671 "Love ourselves? Mister Ford, do you mean that I should have self- love?" asked Eevonne.

"Something like that. There are types of self-love for a person. The easiest one to understand is the literal meaning, which was to love yourself. Always think for yourself first for everything without harming others. To let yourself be comfortable and let yourself be in the strongest and safest position. That would mean that you're loving yourself."

Eevonne's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mister Ford, I...I seem to have understood...please continue."

She gradually felt that Sebastian was not scary anymore, she realized that he was truly a wise person. He was able to give her directions immediately. Under Sebastian's guidance, Eevonne understood that it was not important to regain one’s pride.

Sometimes, you would be caught in a tangle if you value your pride too much. Valuing one's pride too much was also a sign of inferiority. Also, it would become a drawback for others to attack you. To be truly confident was not something to regain by trading it with pride.

Instead, it was to have a calm and strong mind. This meant that as long as a person did not do anything that went against their conscience and the law, and did not hurt anybody at that moment, then they themselves would be the most outstanding and the cutest. In terms of the subjective sense of self, as long as a person did not get in the way of others, then the person would be the best. The best! A person has to live freely without being restrained by external factors.

"Mister Ford, I understand what you mean when you ask me to be heartless. I have to be heartless, which means that I'll no longer go easy on the people who have an opinion about me and the people who could not change the way they see me even with my efforts and changes I will get rid of him from my mind without any hesitation! I also understood what you meant when you told me I'm the master of the Ford Group just now. As the master and also a staff of the company, while I am working at the company, I only have one type of identity, which is the Ford Group's business development executive. Being in the position of a business development executive, I don't have any enemies, people that I hate, and also people who have a conflict with me in my eyes. All I see is my client and the person I'm collaborating with. Even if I have an irresolvable grudge against this person, as long as I am still working, then this person would simply be someone I'm collaborating with. I have to put my mindset right. I can't be arrogant and complacent, and I also can't have personal feelings, let alone feel sorry for myself. Take Dash, for example. He used to be my boyfriend, but I have to be absolutely fair and calm. I no longer have the past in my mind, no longer feel inferior, and no longer have any psychological burden! Thank you, Mister Ford.

Thank you, Sabrina. From this moment on, I am simply me. I won't have any psychological burden anymore. I will face my partner with ease. I certainly can respond to all changes calmly. I certainly can do it!"

Sabrina smiled when she saw that Eevonne had suddenly understood something, she raised her hand to hold Sebastian’s arm and smiled. "Sebastian, the older you got, the more kind and patient you got. How can you talk endlessly like an old father?

However, it was especially effective. You can even be a therapist."

Sebastian felt emotional. "Sabrina, Aino is going to high school soon. Who could guarantee that their child's life can be smooth ‐ sailing? As her parents, it doesn't matter whether she can become successful or be outstanding. I first have to teach her to love and protect herself. As long as she doesn't harm others, she certainly can’t carry any burden in her mind. As long as our child can be happy her whole life and not be defeated by any external factors, I will be very satisfied. When I see this girl, I am reminded of our Aino."

Sabrina leaned her head against her husband's shoulder. "I understand your intention, dear."

"Eevonne is still here!" Sebastian said softly.

Eevonne immediately had a realization. "Mister Ford, Sabrina, and Miss Aino, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving now.

Goodbye! When I get my paycheck next month, I'll treat your entire family to a meal!"

Upon saying that, the young lady ran off happily. At that moment, she was filled with confidence. As soon as the confident young lady boarded the bus, she received a call, she answered the call and asked incredibly cheerfully, "Hello, may I know who this is?"

Chapter 2672 "Eevonne, how shameless can you be?" Dash's angry and disdainful voice could be heard coming from the other end of the all. Eevonne was speechless. If it was before she met Sebastian, she might feel nervous, feel that she has wronged him, feel guilty, and her speech would be incoherent, she would be defeated miserably. However, at that moment, Eevonne was already enlightened. The first thing she had to do was to let herself remain alm. She has to love herself.

The Great Warrior from ancient times would rather do wrong by everybody in the world than letting everybody in the world do wrong by him. That was the ultimate way to love oneself. Eevonne would not be that selfish. Eevonne would not do anybody wrong, but from that moment on, of course, she also would not let anybody do her wrong.

"Mister Long, does whether I'm shameless or not have anything to do with you collaborating with our company?" Eevonne's tone was calm and there was not the slightest bit of anger or annoyance in it as well.

Dash was at a loss for words for a long while. He did not expect that Eevonne would be like a totally different person. Back then, Eevonne did not have this kind of invisible might at all. She had utterly embarrassed him back then. At first, he liked Eevonne because she was obedient, she had the kind of submissiveness of a beautiful young lady from a small family, which made Dash have the urge to protect her. Also, the young lady was very obedient.

When she was in a relationship with him, she had never acted like a spoiled child and had never begged him to buy her gifts.

At that time, Dash simply thought about how easy it was to be in a relationship with this young lady. There was no need for him to be worried if she was angry every day and to coax her every day. when he was playing basketball with others, she would sit at the side to help him watch over his clothes, bottle, and so on. when he was tired from playing basketball and was covered in sweat, she would carefully wipe his sweat for him. she would follow him to the room that he had rented near the office and wash all the dirtied clothes, smelly socks, and smelling shoes that he had changed out of for him.

when he was dating her, Dash did not even feel like he was a man. He felt like he was a little princess who was meticulously taken care of by Eevonne. He could not even distinguish if he loved her more or relied on her more. In any case, he was already completely used to Eevonne washing his dirty socks and clothes for him and sitting quietly at the side to watch him play basketball with others like a little fan. In fact, he was enjoying that time very much.

However, what Dash did not expect was that Eevonne actually tricked the company. She was a country bumpkin that did not even graduate from middle school, let alone college, she unexpectedly could put on such a believable act, and to put up with such an act, she even owed the bank a huge loan.

At that moment, Dash's heart completely fell apart. Everyone in the company knew that he was dating a young lady from another department. Everyone in the company also knew that the young lady used a fake diploma to get into the company, and then because she did not know Spanish, she secretly went to hire translators and actually revealed the company's confidential data to their rival company.

Overnight, Dash became the public enemy.

"Dash, you've long known that your wife tricked the company with a fake diploma, right?"

"I heard that your wife only finished elementary school?"

"Dash, what do you like about her?"

"Do you like that she's a liar? Do you like that she's a country bumpkin? I'm guessing that she should have given herself to you, which is why you risked so much to help her, right?"

"Say, Mister Long, you come from such a good family, but you actually like this?"

The words of the people at the company almost drowned Dash. He wanted to use a loudspeaker and announce in the company loudly that she did not know that Eevonne made a fake diploma at all. He also had never slept with Eevonne at all. He was a well-mannered boy. If he had not made up his mind to marry Eevonne, he would not easily sleep with her. He did not do anything at all! However, would people believe him?

No!

Dash had such a bright future in that company, but it was all ruined by Eevonne overnight.

Chapter 2673 At that time, Dash wanted to strangle Eevonne to death. However, he did not. He was a very well-mannered young man. He simply resigned from the company. He was feeling incredibly depressed. To make himself feel better and also because he did not want to stay in the place that made him feel sad, after Dash resigned, he traveled up north to Kidon City and studied there for a year.

A year later, he had already forgotten all of the things that made him sad. He was also feeling better, so he carried his luggage and returned to his parents' house. What he never expected was that even before he entered the neighborhood, he was harassed by Eevonne. At that time, Eevonne's clothes were shabby and torn, and she smelled pungent.

When Dash met Eevonne again, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

"You...why are you still lingering here? We're already broken up! Also, there's nothing between US at all! We've never even cohabitated once! You've not suffered any loss! Please stop pestering me! We can't keep each other accompanied until the day we die just because we once were in a relationship with each other! I can't let my whole life be ruined by you, can't I?" Dash explained to Eevonne helplessly.

Eevonne would not listen, she cried. "Dash, I have lied to the company and I did make a fake diploma, but you've witnessed my capabilities at work, other than not knowing Spanish, I'm very good in every other aspect. I can still find a good job that matches you. Believe me, alright? If you and I are together, I'll be very happy even if I have to help you wash your stinky socks and do your laundry every day. You'll never have to worry about me when we are together, isn't that right?"

"You can play basketball to your heart's content every day. You don't have to coax me and care if I am happy or not. I'm just your follower at your beck and call. As long as I can see you every day, I'm willing to do anything for you. Dash, I did lie to the company, and I'm not highly educated, but my love for you is true. Are you not going to even give me a chance?"

"I'm sorry. I don't love you! You disgust me very much! I have never loved you! I was in a relationship with you in the past because you were very obedient! You were willing to follow me around, help me watch over my clothes and shoes, and help me clean my stinky socks! Do you know why I hardly go to the movies together with you in the year when we were together and why I have never spent the night with you, not even once? That's because I have made up my mind whether I want to marry you or not! I haven't made up my mind because I don't love you! I can't even think of a reason to reject you. Things are great now! We're even! You've lied to my company and made a fool of yourself in the company. You said you didn't lie to me, but did you not lie to me? You told me that you're a college graduate, but you only had a middle school level education! If that's not lying to me, then what is? Because of you, I've lost the job with a promising future. We're even now! From now on, we don't owe each other anything anymore. If you keep pestering me, do you believe that I'll call the police and have you escorted back? If you still won't give in, I can send you to the psychiatric hospital. Don't think that I can't be that heartless. My family still has a little bit of power! Eevonne York, don't pester me anymore! You disgust me!"

After he said such harsh words to her, Eevonne finally left his house. From then on, it was as if Eevonne had vanished.

On the other hand, he got a change of mood and he also changed his job. In five years, he kept rising to the top with his own efforts. During this period, he would occasionally think of this woman. It would be the image of the woman washing his stinky socks for him every time. He would feel emotional that he could never have it both ways in life.

The girlfriend that he had at that moment had a very good family and also loved him very much. However, she absolutely would never wash his stinky socks for him, and she would occasionally act like a spoiled child to him. But so what? His life was still exciting, especially after he had a connection with the Ford group, which would make him even more successful.

However, he never would have expected that he would meet his arch-enemy, Eevonne, at the Ford Group, since she was his arch enemy, then he should not be blamed for being vicious.

He sneered. "Eevonne, I am determined to work with the Ford Group. Since you've failed to appreciate my kindness, then don't blame me for being merciless!"

Chapter 2674 Eevonne was not shocked by Dash's harsh words at all. She was very calm. The words that Sebastian had told her were etched in her memory. 'If others are vicious, you have to be even more vicious than him. Only then can you win by catching them off guard.' Besides, she has never harmed anyone when it came to work- related matters. Until that moment, she was still very sincere. As long as Dash was willing to collaborate with the Ford Group, if they could achieve a win-win situation for both companies, she certainly would do her best to help and make it happen. Was that not sincere?

Since she has done nothing wrong, why should she be afraid of Dash?

"Mister Long, you...don't have to show mercy. We're just working together. Both of US have to keep each other in check to be as transparent as possible for matters like quality, quotation, production volume, production duration, as well as how fast payments are made. To us, we, of course, demand that your quality, quotation, and production, as well as delivery term, is to our satisfaction. In this aspect, I also won't show you any mercy. However, to you, how fast you can get the payment and also how much more we can collaborate together in the future would be the things that your company can restrict and supervise on our company. The tighter your restrictions, the stricter your supervision, and the more merciless you are, the better the development for both of US. Isn't that right? Mister Long, there's no need for you to show mercy. I won't either."

"You..." Eevonne's words made Dash absolutely speechless.

The innocent and pitiful-looking girl who actually had a vicious mind back then has indeed had five more years of experience under her belt, she has actually become so experienced and vicious at that moment! she was even more skilled at lying! she clearly was still fawning over him yesterday and said that she could resign for him.

However, it seemed everything she said was a lie! she was just stalling him and she was still lying!

"Eevonne, don't act like a fool when you clearly know what's going on! You know I'm not talking about business! I'm talking about our romantic relationship back then! The relationship that made it impossible for us to collaborate together!" Dash said in a straightforward manner.

Eevonne sighed. Her tone was just as calm. "Mister Long, as of now, you and I no longer have that kind of relationship. I don't understand it. why are you bringing up the past? Now, I have a boyfriend, and you have a girlfriend. Even if both of US don't have partners, we also don't have anything to do with each other anymore, do we? Since we have no personal relationship with each other, then we only have one type of relationship left, which is a business relationship between two companies. Since we only have a business relationship, and we're just working together, do you think it's appropriate for you to talk about personal relationships with me now?"

"Good! Good! Great!" Dash was already completely infuriated, but he had a feeling that he could not completely lash out.

He was speechless for a long while before he said again, "Since you're so good at arguing and you're not willing to face our past relationship directly, then we truly have no way of collaborating with each other anymore! Eevonne, I can't collaborate with the Ford Group!"

Eevonne replied without even thinking about it at all. "Sure! Since this is the case, then we'll start conducting the next round of bidding tomorrow. I believe that since our country is so huge and the fashion industry is very well-developed, we certainly can find an even more suitable partner to collaborate with than your company, since Mister Long has already made your decision, then I will respect your opinion. We haven't signed the agreement yet anyway, so there's no breach of contract and whatnot."

Chapter 2675 "Mister Long, if there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up now."

Upon saying that, Eevonne took the initiative to hang up the call without even giving Dash the chance to refute. Unexpectedly, as long as she hung up the call, her phone rang again, she initially did not want to answer it, but she saw that it was Sabrina who was calling. Eevonne immediately answered the call, "Hello, Sabrina. What can I do for you?"

At the other end of the call, Sabrina was apologetic. "Eevonne, we were in a hurry when we were talking to you just now, and we didn't even invite you to stay for dinner. Sebastian and I feel very sorry. Eevonne, come over to have a meal with US on Sunday, alright?"

After Eevonne heard that, she felt incomparably touched. "Sabrina, thank you. It's not that I don't want to go to your house to have a meal with you guys. It's just that every Saturday and Sunday, I have to spend one day going to Yvonne's parents' house and helping them do as many chores as I could. Then, I have to spend the other day going to Kingston's parents' house to keep them accompanied. Kingston is not at home all year around. The four elderly people are very lonely."

Sabrina was very relieved. "That's true. If it weren't for you, there's really no telling how the four elder people are going to live their lives. Look at me. I already have three children. My mother is also getting older and older. Ruth also has to take care of her two children, and she had just delivered her third child. Our visits to the Yates family are not as regular as yours. You are a good girl. All the best!"

Actually, the main intention for Sabrina to call Eevonne was not to invite her over for a meal, she had already invited Eevonne multiple times before, but Eevonne has always rejected her very firmly. Sabrina knew that she was not willing or maybe she felt uncomfortable, so she did not force her anymore. The reason Sabrina made that call at that moment was actually to strengthen her encouragement to Eevonne. she wanted to thoroughly build Eevonne's confidence and make her become a person with a truly strong mind. That was because Sebastian had just discussed something with her.

"Sabrina, Eevonne is really quite good. Both you and I know that she has a million flaws, but she is very simple by nature, she is very soft-hearted. A soft-hearted person like this is the easiest to be affected by others. She had gotten strength from US today and was like she had gotten a new life. However, as time goes by, if she faces some external pressure again or was gossiped about by others, she might still waver and still not know what to do. she would lose her sense of direction."

Sabrina nodded with concern. "Yes. This girl is too kind. Regardless if it was her fault, she would be the first to get nervous and to think if it was her fault. I've actually thought about this kind of situation before and I've boiled it down to two points. Firstly, it was the seeds of inferiority and self-blame that her mother had planted in her as she was growing up. whenever anything happens, she would feel that it was her fault. Secondly, it was the company that she once joined when she first made a fake diploma, when I heard from Kingston about all the situations she experienced in that company, I was thinking, wasn't the boss of that company too good at treating people differently, and wasn't he too excessive in brainwashing others? Actually, no matter how bad Eevonne's interpersonal relationships with others were, her capability at work was as clear as day. why did he have to crush her confidence and self-esteem? Since they feel that she is not qualified, not good, and not valuable to the company at all, then why was she never fired in the three years she spent working for that company? It was very clear that they knew the value that Eevonne had created for them! They knew it very well. They knew Eevonne's ability very well, but they still oppressed her like that, which caused Eevonne's confidence to be so broken that she almost became a psycho. This is truly too infuriating!"

Sabrina became incredibly furious when these matters were mentioned. Seeing how irritated his wife looked, Sebastian said casually, "Therefore, whoever started the trouble should end it. Eevonne would still need medicine for her mind to see if she could recover from this trauma, wouldn't she?"

Sabrina was stunned and she glanced at Sebastian. "You mean..."

Chapter 2676 Sebastian nodded. "Mm-hmm!"

Sabrina was slightly hesitant. "Sebastian, would it be...too cruel to Eevonne? You've seen it as well. Just meeting Dash alone was enough to immediately mess up the confidence she had built over two years. If we let her...would we be helping her or destroying her?

Sebastian sighed. "Sabrina, both you and I know that there aren't many good encounters in this world. There are not so many incidents of a wealthy man helping to clear my debt today, a Prince Charming wanting to marry me tomorrow, and an emergency medical helicopter flying me directly to the best hospital in the world and curing my eye disease the day after tomorrow. All of those are just fairy tales. Everybody living in this world has to face the cruelness of society. Everything that I once had was what I have fought for with my own hands. There's not much luck involved. It's like that for me. It's the same for you. The reason you're still able to survive after experiencing so many miseries and hardships were that you didn't rely on me, Nigel, Zayn, and Marcus.

You relied on yourself. On the contrary, the reason Nigel could become so outstanding today was all because of the unyielding mindset that you had instilled in him. The reason Zayn risked his life to rescue you was that he was conquered by your unyielding character, as well as your actual action to repay the kindness others have shown you, no matter how small. When Zayn saved your life, he also saved his own soul at the same time. Isn't it?"

Sabrina looked at her husband gently. "Sebastian, you're the person in the world who knew me and understood me best. If I were to tell the whole world now that the reason I could survive was that I didn't rely on others but on my own unyielding strength, how many people would actually believe me? I'm afraid there would be none. However, as long as my husband knows that I indeed survive by relying on myself, I'm already very satisfied."

"That's why I'm fortunate enough to be your husband." Sebastian kissed Sabrina's forehead. "Even the wife of Sebastian Ford, the richest man in South City, survived by relying on herself. Do you think there are fairy tales in this world? No. Everybody in this world has to rely on themselves to be able to save themselves in the end. If a person wants to become invincible, the person has to be like you and make her mind strong! Therefore, Eevonne has to go through this hurdle. If she can get through this hurdle, she will become invincible in the future. If she can't get through this hurdle, it's no big deal either. That's because the majority of the girls in this world are just ordinary. If she can't get through this hurdle, she still has US, doesn't she? We'll first watch everything unfold quietly and then back her up behind her back, what do you think?"

Sabrina smiled. "You're the head of the household, so I'll do whatever you say!"

After that, she took out her phone and said, "I want to call Eevonne now and first give her confidence a little boost."

Sebastian nodded. "Alright!"

That was the true reason the couple gave Eevonne a call. At the other end of the call, Eevonne was really full of confidence. Her tone was incredibly happy. "Sabrina, thank you for treating me as a friend. Mister Sebastian's advice for me has enlightened me.

Also, I've immediately put it to use."

Sabrina was stunned for a moment. "Huh?" Eevonne laughed. "I've already used it.

Chapter 2677 "What happened?" Sabrina asked with interest.

"As soon as I got on the bus just now, I received a call from Dash. It was the same old thing where he brought up what happened between US back then. I told him very calmly that the past is the past, and we only have one type of relationship between US now, which was a business relationship. It's not appropriate to talk to me about personal matters now, isn't it?"

Sabrina smiled. "That's how it should be done!"

"There's more," Eevonne said while feeling over the moon. "I realized that Dash wanted to collaborate with US, but he also wanted to put on airs. He simply wanted to obtain our company's orders but he also wanted to force me to resign.

Just now, he directly said to me again that if I don't resign, he won't collaborate with your company. I told him sure.

Since that was the case, we'll start a new round of bidding tomorrow. I then hung up as soon as Ĩ said that. I simply wanted to be aggressive with him. Maybe our company can even save a little on our cost."

"Wow, the young lady is getting more and more shrewd now. You even knew to fight for the company's benefits."

Sabrina could not help but praise Eevonne.

Eevonne sighed softly. "He was the one who brought it onto himself. Originally, our company could give him five percent of the net profit. If we reduced it a little, we might be able to just give him four percent. This way, we can save more than ten million dollars in net profit alone, so why not? Sabrina, I have another call, I'll hang up first."

Eevonne hung up the call in a hurry. She glanced at the number, and as expected, it was Dash calling. Eevonne smiled calmly. It seemed like it was Dash who first could not hold it in anymore.

She took her time. "Hello, Mister Long, have you...changed your mind?"

"Do you wish that I would change my mind and continue collaborating with you?" Dash said aggressively on the other end of the call.

"Of course, I do. Your company is a qualified company which we've spent a long time obtaining, so we're not willing to give up easily. As long as you've made up your mind on continuing to collaborate with us, as a staff of the company, I welcome you very openly. Of course, if you're not willing to collaborate with US, we won't force you either. After all, nothing good ever comes out if a person is being forced!" Eevonne answered honestly.

"I got it. That means you won't leave the Ford Group no matter what, am I right?" Dash asked.

"The company did not fire me, so why should I leave?" Eevonne answered calmly.

"Working with your company is something that we've fought for with all our might. After thinking about it, I can't let my company suffer a loss because of your despicable behavior, since you're not willing to resign, then we have no choice but to face each other. I have to tell you in advance that no matter what the consequences are, you have to bear them yourself!" Dash said aggressively.

"Sure," Eevonne said gently, she was already mentally prepared for it. She was waiting for the storm to come. That was because if it was something that was meant to happen, then she would never be able to dodge it. Therefore, the best way was to face it bravely.

Besides, it was just that she once pestered Dash for a while, was it not? It seemed like it was not a big deal.

Eevonne waited for Dash for a week but he did not make any moves. During that week, she prepared all of the documents about the other party neatly and was just waiting for them to come and sign the contract.

During that weekend, Eevonne first went to Yvonne's parents' house, and then she went to Kingston's parents' house.

On Sunday afternoon, when she returned from Kingston's parents' house, she saw Sabrina and Ruth standing outside her neighborhood.

"What brings both of you here?" Eevonne asked in surprise.

"We're here to take you to the movies. I heard that a movie that was recently premiered is very good. I heard that there's a villainess in it that was played that the audience desperately wanted to strangle her to death through the screen. Eevonne likes to watch movies the most in the past. All three of US would watch them together every time. So we're here to invite you to join US today."

Eevonne smiled. "I'm over the moon."

The three of them went to the theater together and took their seats. As the movie started, the first to make a screen appearance was the ugly and trouble-making villainess.

"Gosh...why does she look like that woman to me?" Eevonne said with her mouth agape.

Chapter 2678 Sabrina and Ruth looked at Eevonne with confusion. "What’s the matter, Eevonne? who did you say...she looks like?"

Eevonne pointed at the image in the movie. "This...this woman. I’ve met this woman before. She was the woman wandering around the entrance of Yvonne's house. Are you sure she is an actress and a member of a scamming group?"

Sabrina was speechless. She did watch movies, but she had never paid attention to the actors and so on.

Aire was once so famous and was one of the top stars in the country. However, Sabrina did not know Aire even when she came face to face with her, which caused Aire to hate her because of that. Let alone an actress who barely has any fame and played the villainess.

Sabrina shook her head, and then she looked at Ruth. "Ruth, do you know this actress?"

Ruth was a groupie, she was bom without ideals and ambitions. All she sought after in her everyday life was to take care of her children and bicker with Ryan. At that moment, her children were older and were in kindergarten, her work in architecture was getting better and better, and her life was also very comfortable. Therefore, she spent the rest of her time following the news of celebrities. Speaking of following the news of celebrities, Ruth was the most professional. Also, she could go on and on forever.

"She is a small star that has just started to gain a bit of fame in the past year. Actually, it's not quite accurate to say that she has started to gain a bit of fame. Let me tell you something, she is not even considered an E-lister. She can only be considered a z- lister at best. She is just a little better than those extras who could only get a lunchbox on set. she is the kind that can only make a thousand dollars for acting in one episode. However, how many episodes can she get in a television series? Take this movie, for example. It's so popular now and it's still in theaters after it has been six months since its premiere and the box office ranking has been at the top with no sign of reducing. All she could get from this movie is ten thousand dollars at best. However, I do know a little bit about her. She is not that ugly, but because she kept playing villainess roles, you will feel that she is ugly, she is from out of town. The majority of her time is spent working in both South city and Kidon City. In the past two years, the supporting roles that she has played must have been at least a hundred. That means she specializes in going between several sets, she has to rush between several sets in a day to play the most vicious supporting role on all sorts of sets. This woman is already an actress who specialized in playing vicious supporting roles now. The first reason being her voice is naturally hoarse, so it's not quite pleasant to the ears. The second reason is that her appearance is not as beautiful as those beauties. She still wants to be in the entertainment business, so she could only start by first playing the vicious supporting roles. Over time, she became an actress who specialized in playing vicious supporting roles. Therefore, whenever everybody saw her face, they would subconsciously be influenced by the association and think that she is a bad person. Eevonne, you were also thinking it because of that right?"

Eevonne nodded and then shook her head. "Yes, but not entirely so. It's because I've seen her secretly following Yvonne's parents a few days ago. That expression was truly like a ghost. Her gaze was so evil. I think I might have mistaken her for someone else. They shouldn't be the same person. This woman in the movie has already played more than a hundred roles. She is considered an artist no matter what, she probably won't do things like stalking old men and women. I probably have mistaken her for someone else."

Ruth and Sabrina looked at each other and smiled. "I reckoned that you've mistaken her for someone else. There's actually plenty of people in the world who look alike."

"Mm-hmm. Let's just watch the movie," said Eevonne. After watching the movie, Eevonne did not think about this actress anymore, and she went to work as usual after that.

On Monday night, Eevonne was originally supposed to go to her Spanish class, but once she thought of the suspicious woman who kept stalking Yvonne's parents a few days ago, she got a little worried. She directly gave up her time to learn Spanish at night and went to Yvonne's parent's house to take a look.

Chapter 2679 Eevonne never expected that she would see a person when she got to Yvonne's parents' house.

"Marcus, you...you're here," Eevonne called out politely. In the past year, Eevonne had met Marcus before, but she hardly met him.

It was not because Marcus was reluctant to come and visit Yvonne's parents. Rather, it was because Marcus was not in good condition himself either in the past few years. After he lost Yvonne, it was as if Marcus had lost half of his life and he had no energy at all. He also became much older. He has almost already become a workaholic. He just worked every day, and after he came home, he would say a few words to his parents, then lock himself in his room to watch videos of him together with Yvonne and look at her photos.

At first, Marcus came to visit Yvonne's parents very often.

However, every time he came, he would kneel in Yvonne's parents' house and cry. All three of them often cried on each other’s shoulders as well. Later, Marcus felt that that was not a solution. That was because when he was together with Yvonne's parents, they would be filled with sorrowful memories.

Therefore, Marcus hardly returned to the house anymore.

However, Marcus would still come over during the holidays. Not only that, but Marcus would get someone to send money to Yvonne's parents every month. He even helped them to find a caretaker and so on. However, Yvonne's parents wanted to have some peace and quiet, so they dismissed the maid.

Yvonne's parents felt sorry for Marcus as well. They had witnessed Marcus becoming dispirited over the past few years. Every time they thought about that, they would cry. They even comforted and advised Marcus a few times to not wait for Yvonne anymore. They urged him to hurry up and find another partner. They would urge him like that every time. After several times, Marcus hardly came to their house anymore. Especially in the past year when Marcus knew that Kingston's girlfriend, Eevonne, was taking care of the two elderly people, he came over even less. He was simply immersed in his own world of missing his beloved wife.

At that moment, when he saw Eevonne's arrival, his reaction was quite slow.

"Eevonne, you're here?" Kingston asked in a robotic manner.

"Marcus, I don't know how I should comfort you. Kingston has been out there searching for Yvonne. I believe she will certainly be found one day." Eevonne also did not know what to say.

Marcus forced himself to smile. "Eevonne, I feel relieved that my in -laws are taken care of by you. Look, I...I don't have anything to give you. I'm not good with words either. This is one million dollars. It's your compensation. Don't be disdainful towards rich people, alright?"

Upon saying that, he handed a card to Eevonne. Eevonne did not want it. "Marcus, don't be so dejected. Yvonne's parents will also be sad to see you like that. All of you have to pull yourself together and wait for Yvonne to return, alright?"

Marcus nodded. "Alright."

Upon saying that, he got up and looked at Yvonne's parents, and then he said in a deep and spiritless voice, "Mister and Missus Yates, I feel at ease now that Eevonne is here to take care of both of you. I'll first take my leave. I was in a rush when I left the house today, so I forgot my phone at home. What happens if Yvonne calls me and I didn't get to pick up? I'll first return home now."

Upon saying that, Marcus went back absent-mindedly. That phone of his was already a few years old. There were plenty of Yvonne's photos on that phone, so he could not bear to change it. The phone was often broken and it would not produce any sound sometimes. He had to watch over the phone often. He was in a hurry when he headed out earlier, so he unexpectedly forgot it at home.

Therefore, he was in a hurry to rush home.

"Hurry up and go home. Don't be too sad, my child." At that moment, Yvonne's parents were already slightly better than Marcus at looking on the bright side.

Marcus nodded and left their house. Ever since Yvonne went missing, Marcus had the habit of walking with his head lowered.

When he stepped out of the entrance of the neighborhood, he and a woman bumped right into each other.

"Why didn't you watch where you were going?" Marcus' tone was very unpleasant.

"Master...Master Marcus, what a coincidence to meet you here?" asked the woman with a hoarse voice in an ingratiating tone.

Chapter 2680 Marcus lifted his head and saw the woman in front of him. The woman's face has such a thick layer of face powder that it was as if she had just come out of a flour mill. To be precise, she looked more like a zombie.

"Mila! How many times have I told you not to come to look for me again? Don't come looking for me again! Do you believe that I'll let you have no way out in South City if you come looking for me again?" Marcus looked at the woman in front of him with great disgust.

The woman who was called Mila had a broad smile on her face as she looked at Marcus incredibly ingratiatingly, "Master Marcus, well...can I buy you a cup of coffee? I...I just want to be your friend. I don't have any other intentions."

"Are you worthy enough?" Marcus looked at Mila with extreme disgust.

"There shouldn't be a distinction between noble and humble birth when it comes to friends, right?" Mila said.

"Friends are not divided into rich and poor, but there's a distinction between the noble and the lowly. You're such a shameless person. Do you think I'll treat you as my friend? Mila, I just wanted to ask you, from which part of me do you see that I'm a flirt?

Even if I'm a flirt, would the one the most popular flirt like me take a fancy to you? A person like you! Would a D-lister like you even be able to get in line? where does your confidence come from? I'm warning you. If you dare to stalk me again, you'll land yourself in serious trouble!"

Upon saying that, Marcus left immediately. Suddenly, someone called out to him behind him. "Marcus! what kind of relationship do you have with this woman?"

Marcus saw Eevonne as soon as he turned his head around.

"Eevonne, why did you come out?"

Eevonne looked at the woman with thick makeup in front of her with a cold gaze. "Marcus, this woman was stalking Yvonne's parents a few days ago. she is not a good person! Do you know her? It Marcus looked at the woman called Mila fiercely. "Fuck off!"

Mila looked at Eevonne. Her gaze was complicated, and she looked like she wanted to say something but she did not. After she froze for a while, she turned around and left.

Only then did Marcus look at Eevonne and sighed. "She's a D-list actress."

"It's really her!" Eevonne was shocked.

Marcus raised his head and looked at Eevonne. "Do you know her as well?"

Eevonne sneered. "I went to watch a very popular movie with Ruth and Sabrina the day before yesterday. This woman did a very good job in the movie as well. The supporting role that she played was a bitch that was evil beyond measure. I never expected that there would be no distinction between this actress' character in the movie and in real life, she was stalking Yvonne's parents a few days ago. I asked her what's the matter but she didn't say."

Marcus sighed. "It's all my fault."

Eevonne looked at Marcus with confusion. "What's the matter, Marcus? How can you be blamed for this?"

"Well..." Marcus sighed. "It's a long story."

Speaking of that, an angry expression filled Marcus' face. It was one and a half years ago. The movie that was being shown at that moment was still in pre-production a little more than a year ago. At that time, the director of the movie came to Marcus, hoping that he could fund the movie. That director was the one who once wanted to select Yvonne as his leading lady—Roderick Cameron. At that time, Marcus was in a dispirited state. If it was another director who had come to Marcus for funding, he would have ignored him. However, that person was Roderick.

Marcus had to help him. At the same time when Roderick got all of his funds, Marcus became the movie's biggest investor.
