Ch. 2681..2690

Chapter 2681 Out of respect for Marcus, and also because it was a rule in the industry, Roderick had to ask for Marcus' opinion in terms of casting. Marcus declined right there and then.

Roderick saw that Marcus was truly very dejected at that time, so he wanted to find something for him to do.

Therefore, at that time, Roderick did his best to advise him, "Marcus, Yvonne is very passionate about this industry. Maybe she would even come to fight for a role? What if you meet Yvonne at the casting venue?

Wouldn't you be able to find her without any effort at all? II His remark instantly woke Marcus up. Marcus' spirits were also lifted. "Yes, that's very good. I'll participate!"

His spirits immediately improved. The process of auditioning a huge crowd of people was very boring. They were looking at beautiful women every day so much that the directors were numbed. Marcus, however, was always very serious. In fact, he was not casting for the movie. He was looking for Yvonne.

However, after auditioning for more than a month, Marcus did not even see the shadow of Yvonne at all. There was not even a woman that looked like Yvonne at all. None of them was similar to Yvonne in terms of height, voice, and the walk she walks. In the end, Marcus already gradually lost interest in casting for the movie. He was prepared not to participate in the casting process anymore. At that moment, Mila came.

That was already at the end of the casting process for the production team. Out of all of the characters, they only needed one more person for everybody to be in place. However, this character was very difficult to cast.

That was because not only was the character’s appearance ugly, but the character was cunning and vicious, and at the same time, she also had a pitiful side. This character was once forcefully taken advantage of by a few men in the early stages of the story. After that, one of the men was sick, so she was also infected. She was originally a victim, but the victim chose to harm others. She wanted more innocent people to be harmed to make herself feel better.

Not only that, but she even deliberately destroyed other people's marriages and families. If she saw a woman living a happy life and dressed very beautifully, she would exhaust all the ways to seduce the woman’s husband, get the woman’s husband infected with the dirty disease that she got, and then let the husband infect his wife. Such a character was indeed too wicked. Also, because the character's appearance was ugly, actresses who usually wanted to grow with a good image were not willing to play this character.

However, if they got an extra to play the character, she would not be able to portray the depth of the character.

Also, this character has very few scenes and was considered the epitome of a supporting role. The character has such few scenes, but the actress has to portray so many things and also such a vicious side of the character. Therefore, this character was very difficult to cast. The good actress that the director wanted was not willing to damage her image. There were people who were willing to play the character, but they were all people who had no acting experience at all, people who were old and ugly, and people who only wanted to become more popular. For a moment, this character truly became a problem for the director.

Even Marcus, who was indifferent toward this matter, also poked fun at Roderick with a miserable smile. "

Roderick, it turns out that when shooting a movie, just casting characters alone was enough to be worried about."

Roderick shot a glance at Marcus with annoyance. " That's right! Do you think it's so easy to do everything?

Let me tell you something, I'm lucky that you invested in my movie without hesitating at all. If I were to look for others for funding, I may not even be able to find any for years. A good script would have been ruined just like that. I've finally gotten the money from you, but I can't find a suitable actor. Marcus, do you know how much blood, sweat, and tears I've poured into the pre- production to prepare for this script and this movie? I just wanted to seriously shoot a movie that would be widely known. I have confidence in this movie! As long as I do every part right, I have the confidence that I can make this movie so well that she'll be famous around the world!"

Marcus smiled. "I believe in you."

Right at that moment, another woman who came to audition arrived. It was a woman that they had never met before. The woman entered the door and asked submissively, "Is this the place looking for the last supporting actress? I would like to try. May I?” As soon as she asked that, the woman said Marcus. She was shocked for a moment and then she called out, "

Master...Marcus, you're...here too?"

Chapter 2682 Marcus looked at the woman with confusion. "Do you know me?"

The woman smiled with a sense of inferiority. "Master Marcus, you’re...one of the top noble young masters in South City. Who in this city would not know you?"

Marcus hated this kind of woman the most. In fact, he did not like to talk to any women at all. In the past, before he dated Yvonne, he had never been close to other women. Later, after he and Yvonne were in love with each other, he had never even taken a look at any other women at all.

At that moment, in particular, when Yvonne’s whereabouts were still unknown, he would feel disgusted at any woman who said more than one sentence to him.

"Miss, I don't know you!" Marcus said without being polite at all.

"Master Marcus, L.can L.can I buy you dinner?" the woman asked Marcus humbly and with ingratiation without caring that he was chasing her away. At that moment, Marcus was speechless and wanted to kick that woman to death.

Roderick, who was at the side, looked at the woman with his eyes widened. "It's you. You’re the one. I couldn't find the right person after searching high and low, but I've found you without using any effort at all."

The woman looked at Roderick in surprise. "Really?"

"Of course, it's real. The person that I’m looking for is a person who would keep pestering others from your core and a person exuding an extremely lowly feeling in your bones. When can you come and join the production?"

The woman asked submissively, "You...you mean...!... I’ve passed? I haven't even auditioned for it.

I've...passed just like that?"

Roderick nodded. "The way you greeted Master Marcus earlier was very similar to the vicious supporting actress in my movie! Now, we can discuss your pay. Do you...have an agency?"

The woman shook her head. "I...I don't. L.like acting very much. I've also acted as an extra, the kind that has a face, for a very long time. I’ve already played many vicious villainess on different sets. I-I have the experience.

Mister Cameron, tell me, what...kind of price do you want to give me?"

The director took a glance at Marcus and then said with a smile, "The investor happens to be here now. You used to be an extra. You don't have many scenes in this movie now. The amount we give you might be very little. It might not be any higher than when you were an extra. However, if you play this character of mine, you might have many production teams looking for you in the future. When the time comes, your value will rise with your fame."

To the production team, if they could save on funds, of course, they would. Roderick was no exception. He wanted to see how this woman would bargain with him. If the woman said she wanted to raise the price a little, Roderick would agree as well.

However, the woman agreed without hesitation at all. " Alright, but can I have a request?"

Roderick looked at the woman with interest. "Go on..."

The woman looked up at Marcus. "I...I want to buy Master Marcus...a meal.” Roderick was speechless. After a long while, Marcus glared at the woman, and then he lifted his foot and aggressively kicked the woman out the door. "Fuck off!"

It so happened that there were reporters outside the door. Those reporters were holding their cameras and were waiting to shoot the situation of the casting. When they saw such a situation, all of the reporters were stunned. However, a few seconds later, the reporters realized that that was a drama that they accidentally caught. One of the top wealthy young masters in South City, Marcus Shaw, assaulted an actress on the set.

Gosh!

When the reporters held their cameras and shot from all different angles, Marcus still had an angry expression on his face. If this kind of video was uploaded online, it would go viral in the country overnight.

Unexpectedly, when the reporters just started shooting, the actress who was kicked to the ground smiled and asked the director, Roderick, who was stunned, "Mister Cameron, do you think Master Marcus and my acting for this scene is alright?"

Chapter 2683 'Ĩ feel that even though Master Marcus had never acted before, he still acted quite well when doing this temporary scene with me. Master Marcus, you truly have the protection to be an actor."

As soon as she said that, the director, Roderick, immediately regained his senses. "Yes, yes. Marcus, thank you. You've helped me a great deal. This is the audition that I’m most satisfied with today. Marcus, hurry up and help..."

The director wanted to ask Marcus to help the actress up, but only then did he remember he still did not know the actress' name.

He immediately changed his words. "Hurry up and help your friend up. Marcus, thank you for introducing this actress to me. She’s really great!"

That remark made the reporters incomparably disappointed. One by one, they put their cameras down. At that moment, Marcus also regained his senses. He questioned the reporters with a cold expression, "This is the venue for the casting audition. Why are reporters like you here? Are you trying to disturb US working?

The production team hasn’t even started shooting, but you’re already squatting here and following US. What do you want to report? Gossips? Can you report some actual things that are related to the movie? If you can't, I'll crush all of your websites! You're always creating panic when there's nothing at all!"

Those reporters were so frightened that they ran away in a panic. However, the fact that Marcus and the actress were friends was also clearly witnessed by more than ten reporters. Because of that, Marcus had no choice but to be friends with the actress.

"Thank you. I'm in the wrong for kicking you just now. I was in a bad mood. However, let me make it clear to you that what you did won't work with our production team. I’m sorry!" Marcus regretted his own rashness very much. He was in a bad mood. Marcus would be in an irritable mood for each day his wife's whereabouts were still unknown. He never expected that he would actually attack a woman that day.

He took out a card from the bag that he had always carried with him. "There’s ten thousand dollars in here.

Take this to first get treatment. If there's anything, I'll take responsibility. Don't worry. I hope you can forgive me."

"I forgive you, Master Marcus. I forgive you," said the woman sincerely.

Marcus was speechless.

"I just want to be your normal friend. Is that alright? It's enough for me to just take a look at you every day.

No... no, no, no, there's no need for it to be every day. It's fine too for me to just see you once every week."

Marcus was so pissed off that he grabbed the woman. " What the hell do you do for a living? Do you believe that I'll strangle you to death?"

The woman was not afraid at all of Marcus’ threats. Instead, she smiled. "Master Marcus, my name is Mila Murphy. I'm from a remote city. I've been acting in South City for almost a year. I'm quite familiar with South City. Also, I'm quite good at acting. I really can play this character well. I don't have any other intentions. I just wanted to be friends with you and to be able to see you once a week."

The thick makeup that the woman had on was of bad quality. She fell to the ground and got some dirt on her face when Marcus kicked her earlier. On top of that, because Marcus was strangling her at that moment, she was slightly nervous and she was sweating a little, her face was a mess and was covered in dirt. That was truly ugly. That ugly look of hers made Roderick even more satisfied when he saw it.

"Just like this, just like this! This character is in such a wretched manner and also despicable. The way she looked is incomparably on point!"

Marcus was so angry that he could no longer say anything anymore.

The woman, however, smiled and looked at Roderick. " Isn't that right, Mister Cameron? I've acted quite well, haven’t I? I certainly can do a good job. I've loved acting since I was born."

Roderick immediately promised. "You want to be friends with Marcus, right? I've agreed!" Marcus was speechless.

Chapter 2684 At that moment, Marcus absolutely wanted to pin Roderick on the ground and beat him up aggressively.

Roderick, however, did not look at Marcus but only at the actress. "Mila, right?"

Mila immediately nodded. "My name is Mila Murphy, and I'm from Northern Muslon. My skin is a little sensitive, so I'll often put on a lot of makeup. I have acting experience, especially acting as a vicious supporting actress.

I have a rich experience in this. I don't have a high demand for the pay. I just want...to be friends with Master Marcus."

Roderick promised her once again. "Marcus is my good friend. I've agreed. You may first return home. We'll sign the contract another day. Alright?"

"Alright!" Mila was incomparably happy.

It was after Mila left that Marcus looked at him with annoyance. "Roderick! What are you doing?"

Roderick smiled. "Marcus, it’s just an ordinary friend. Just take it as I'm joking with you, alright?"

Marcus was still infuriated. "Do you think I have the mood to joke about this with you? I'm a person without my wife. My wife’s whereabouts are still unknown! I don't even know if she's alive or dead! I'm in no mood to be friends with anybody! Especially women! I don't want to have anything to do with any other women in this life!

If Roderick looked at Marcus very patiently. "Marcus, let me ask you, are we friends?"

Marcus looked at Roderick irritably. "Since when have I said that you and I are not friends? Roderick, tell me in your words, how have I been to you? You don’t have the money to make a movie, I funded your movie entirely.

What else do I have to do? You clearly know that Yvonne is a huge concern in my mind and I don't have the mind to take another look at any other women. Yet, you let this lowly woman be friends with me. What do you mean?"

Roderick sighed. "Marcus, you don't understand this industry of mine. I'm a director who is well-known in the entire country, but I don't have money in hand as well. I don't have money, so I have to wait for the chance to shoot a shocking project. You know that to prepare for this script. I've already spent five years just editing and fixing the script alone. In the past five years, I had no paychecks at all. After I've fixed the script, I have to pull the funds in. I used to tell you that I was so lucky to have met you, who are willing to fund me fully. But what if you're not willing to invest in my movie, my script may just go down the drain. You know that it would be very hard for a filmmaker to fulfill his dream and his ideals even after pursuing them his whole life. I have such a chance, so I have to fight for it, my friend. Also, this movie has a very deep meaning. Don't you wish that such a movie could let even more people be familiar with it, especially those marginalized groups?"

What he said truly reduced Marcus' anger quite a bit. That was true. The marginalized groups. His missing wife, who was taking care of his two children, belonged to the marginalized groups. The movie was a story that reflects that marginalized groups have to know how to protect themselves and fight back in time. It had an incomparably profound meaning to it.

"Marcus, since the beginning, I've wanted Yvonne to play the leading lady of this movie. She has the kind of clean, sweet, and pure temperament, which made her the best candidate for my movie. It has taken me a great deal of effort to get Yvonne. However, God has other plans sometimes. I’ve finally gotten a heavenly candidate like Yvonne, but she went missing. Marcus, do you think you're the only one suffering a great deal because you’ve lost Yvonne? It's the same for me as well. I can tell that Yvonne loves to act in movies. She wants to act in a very good movie, which has already been her ideal."

Chapter 2685 "This movie, on the other hand, is almost perfectly tailored to Yvonne. Don't you want this movie to be released? Perhaps after this movie is released, Yvonne will be able to come back?"

Marcus sighed miserably. "Yes, if Yvonne is able to watch this movie, then maybe she would come back."

"So, Marcus, she's just an actress. She's not trying to get in your bed. She just wants to be friends with you. I, in fact, can understand her very well. She is hustling at the bottom of society and has experienced far too many hardships. It's not easy for her to suddenly see one of the top noblemen in the entire South City in this production set. Which actor would not want to talk to you? Even if it's an A-lister, she still might talk to you and to cotton up to you, let alone Mila. By then, would you ignore her or not? This woman is just a little shameless.

You can just ignore her. You’re the head of the Shaw family. Would it be easy for you to avoid this woman? You have a driver to drive you around every day and you're followed by bodyguards. It would be strange if this woman is able to stick to your sides! Just take it as you’re doing me a favor, and promise to be her friend, alright?"

Marcus was not an unreasonable person. On the contrary, he had always been able to think on other people’s behalf. Besides, that was the director, Roderick Cameron, whom Marcus had known for many years.

Marcus knew the character of Roderick.

He gave it a thought and nodded. "I got it."

"You're going to be friends with her in the future?" Roderick asked.

"Only before your movie has finished shooting. Once your movie is finished and it's time to release, I would no longer have any relationship with her anymore," Marcus said.

That was the first time Marcus was actually forced to be friends with a woman who has nothing to do with him.

It was also because he had promised Roderick that from that moment on, Marcus often received calls from this woman. She would invite him for coffee one day, and then call him to show her concern for him the next day.

Even when there was just a slight change in temperature, the woman named Mila would also call Marcus to ask him to put on more layers. There was a time when Marcus was harassed by Mila almost every day that he wanted to kill that woman.

When he truly could not hold it in anymore, he would shout at Mila angrily, "What exactly do you like about me? My family's properties? I’m sorry. Even if you married me, I also won't give you a single bit of my family's properties!"

Mila was still so thick-skinned. "Master Marcus, don't argue with me, alright? I've brought you the specialty noodle of my hometown, Northern Muslon. You won't be able to get such flavors in South City. Let's set a time and I'll send it over to you, alright?"

"I won’t have it!"

"It's fine. If you're not willing to see me, I'll just secretly deliver it to your house. You don't have to see me. I'll leave after I put the things down." Mila was just like a piece of gum that he could not shake and was suffocating Marcus. However, he could not truly have a fallout with Mila.

Firstly, it was because Mila was a weak woman and he was a man, so he truly could not bear to be vicious to her. Secondly, it was because Marcus' movie was involved. Even though Mila kept pestering Marcus whenever she was free, her acting skills were really very good. That cheap, vicious, malicious intentions, and also that pitiful look of fighting for her last breath were skillfully acted out by Mila.

It was to the extent that when the movie had just started being screened, Mila, who was only the supporting actress with just a few scenes, almost stole the leading lady's thunder. It was because she did an amazing job acting out the image of the bad person but also made others pity her at the same time. However, at the same time when the movie was successfully released, it was also time for Marcus to get rid of Mila. He blocked Mila's number and resolutely did not meet her again. However, he never expected that Mila would actually get his in-laws involved and even stalked them.

Upon hearing what Eevonne said, Marcus said fiercely, " It looks like I must teach her a lesson!"

Chapter 2686 Eevonne also let out a sigh. "It turned out that this is what happened. I was just thinking that this woman wouldn't have come here without a reason. There truly was a reason for it. Was she following Yvonne's parents because she wanted to know what exactly is your relationship with them? If this was the case, then this woman has quite a scheming mind, doesn't she?"

"Could it be that a woman like her wanted to replace Yvonne?"

Eevonne simply said that. She had never been in contact with Mila before so she did not know her at all. Also, she could tell when listening to Marcus recounting the entire story that Mila was only pursuing Marcus, but she did not do anything overboard.

"Does she really like you? Some women have a very strong vanity. They would feel that it was truly not easy for them to meet the second richest man in South city, so once they get the chance, they would throw themselves at you. However, maybe she did not have any bad intentions. Maybe she was just vain?" Eevonne had once pestered others like that as well. Perhaps Mila was just like her? It was truly extremely hard being a Z-list actress. In order to climb up the ranks and fight for resources, which of those actors were not full of scandals?

"Marcus, I could tell from the movie that Mila is quite skilled at acting. Just her gaze alone made me feel terrified, she should be a woman who is acting seriously. Perhaps...she really likes your character? Have you had a proper chat with her before?"

Actually, Eevonne also did not know how to comfort Marcus at that moment. Marcus' character, the care he has shown to Yvonne's parents in the past few years, and also his manners of not getting close to other women truly made Eevonne admire him very much. Who in the world would be able to keep waiting and waiting by himself in the three years that his wife's whereabouts were missing? In order to wait for his wife, he never took an additional look at any other women at all. In order to take a few more looks at his wife's photos, he could not bear to change his phone when it was already broken.

Besides, he was one of the top richest men. If he were to get the word out that his wife has been missing for three years, it was reasonable to say that he did not have to wait anymore and he could marry another person. As long as he got the word out, there would probably be countless beautiful socialites in South City who would fight each other to be married to Marcus. However, Marcus had never done that.He had always been waiting for his wife while being in a dejected state like an ascetic monk.

Eevonne was thinking that if Marcus was unable to wait for his wife's return in this life, he might die of depression. Thinking of that, Eevonne felt quite saddened.

She calmly opened her mouth to urge and comfort him. "Marcus, just have a proper talk with that actress for once. I think she might really...really love you?"

If someone could love Marcus, it might be a good thing. That was because there was no news of Yvonne in the past three years.

The hopes of finding her were already getting slimmer and slimmer.

As soon as Eevonne said that, Marcus unexpectedly already sneered and said, "Impossible! Eevonne, it's impossible for me to accept anyone else in this life! I only love my wife. My wife has given me a set of twins. I could feel that my wife and children aren't dead. They are still alive. Maybe they are suffering in some corner. If they are suffering out there, how could I be enjoying myself at home with a beautiful woman in my arms? I can't!"

Eevonne wanted to say, 'Mila is not beautiful though.' However, she did not say anything, she knew that there was no way to persuade such a man who was so deeply affectionate.

Eevonne sincerely felt happy for Yvonne, she secretly said in her heart, 'Yvonne, you've truly found a good husband. If you can sense Marcus' deep affection for you and if you're still alive in this world, hurry back. Everyone at home is waiting for you.

Kingston had been looking for you out there these few years. Also, your parents' hair is all gray now.'

Chapter 2687 'Yvonne, when can you come back?' When she saw Marcus' lonely back as he left, Eevonne felt like the bleak leaves in the fall and felt miserable for some reason. It suddenly occurred to her again that nobody's life in this world is easy. It was as if everyone was enduring hardships.

Especially Yvonne, she was already a mother of two at that moment. If she was still alive in this world, then she might truly be enduring a colossal pain at some comer. Everyone has to bear with it. Once she thought of that, Eevonne felt that her bit of struggle was no big deal at all. she even purposefully ran to Sabrina to ask for help. How unreasonable! Eevonne scolded herself!

After that, she returned to dine with Yvonne's parents. Only then did she leave Yvonne's house. Before she left the entrance to the neighborhood, Eevonne saw Mila from the corner of her eyes.

Mila was standing at the corner, she could have avoided Eevonne's line of sight. However, she was accidentally noticed by Eevonne.

Eevonne came to Mila and asked very seriously, "I heard from Mister Shaw just now that you've been waiting to be friends with him."

Mila did not answer her.

"I don't quite understand you guys who are actors, but I also do know a little bit about it. It certainly must be difficult for you guys to be in this industry, especially D-listers. when a person is at the bottom of the food chain, the person would have to catch the chance whenever they saw one. However, Mila, I have to tell you... Mister Shaw has a wife and has children. He loves his wife and children very much. Therefore, it's impossible for him to have anything to do with you. I actually don't have the right to interfere with you, but I just wanted to tell you about it. You should know as well that this is Mister Shaw's in-laws' house. It's no use for you to come and keep an eye on the two elderly people. Could you please not disturb the two elderly people anymore in the future? You'll be affecting their lives very much like that. Both of them are already very pitiful, to begin with. Their daughter's whereabouts are still unknown, and they've lost their only child at such an old age. If you continue to keep an eye on them from time to time, how are they supposed to continue living? I've watched your movie. You've done an outstanding job. I admire you very much for being able to play the role of this supporting character so well. I believe with your acting skills, you certainly could be very successful in the near future. Could you please spare the two elderly people?"

Eevonne was already very polite with her words.

She originally had a very bad impression of Mila and was very disgusted by her appearance. However, after she heard so many things from Marcus, Eevonne sympathized with this woman. Everyone had it tough. She, herself, included. When she kept pestering Dash for one year, many people would treat her as the psycho who would do everything evil. Only she knew how pitiful and helpless she was at that time.

Therefore, at that moment, Eevonne did not want to make things too difficult for Mila, an unknown actress who was just like an extra. Mila did not say anything but she just hung her head.

"Are you...leaving?" Eevonne asked her patiently. If Mila was not going to leave, then it truly would not be good for Eevonne to leave Yvonne's house. Mila still did not say anything.

Eevonne got slightly angry. "If you really aren't going to leave, I really have to consider calling the police."

At that moment, Mila suddenly raised her head, looked at Eevonne with a face full of tears. "Are t-they...alright?"

Chapter 2688 Eevonne looked at Mila with confusion. "You've already asked me this kind of question about four times. You would ask me that every time I saw you these few days. I am a little confused as to why you want to ask me that. What has it got to do with you if Yvonne's parents are well or not?"

Eevonne's words were filled with hostility, she did not have the intention of looking down on the other party. In comparison, Eevonne was still a little bit more miserable than the other party. She was a woman who had yet to clear her debt. The other party, on the other hand, was already a more or less a small star, she already got famous for acting as the bitchy supporting character in the movie, she was deliberately concealing her identity and putting on makeup. At that moment, if she was out in public, Mila should be able to attract a small group of fans.

Eevonne actually admired the woman with such acting skills.

However, no matter how good her acting skills were, if she were to cause inconvenience to the elder people's lives, then she would still be in the wrong, would she not?

Mila nodded. "You...you're right."

Her voice was hoarse and harsh to the ears. It was just like an old crow's caw. It just made others feel disgusted when they heard it. It was no wonder that she acted as the bitchy supporting character. Perhaps it was an advantage that she was born with?

Eevonne sighed. "Just leave. I don't care who you're going after. Perhaps all of you in the entertainment industry needed to find a person with money. That is your matter. However, you're not allowed to come and disturb the two elderly people in the future. They are already very miserable. I won't allow you to hurt them!"

"I... I just miss Master Marcus..." the woman said.

Eevonne was so angry. "Fuck off!"

The woman left with reluctance. Just as the woman left, eevonne received a call from Marcus.

"Eevonne, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the two elderly people even more. They usually don't have many activities either. They just like to wake up early in the morning to go to the market and buy some fresh produce, meat, and so on. That's a habit that they have developed since they were young. Also, they often would make some dishes that Yvonne likes. They are still like that now. So, Eevonne, since you're staying closer to them, just keep a close eye on them in the morning and at night. I know that you've had a very tough life and had been working as a food delivery person in the past. How about this? I'll compensate you with ten thousand dollars a month in the future, so just help me to keep an eye on the two elderly people in the morning and at night in the future."

Eevonne immediately rejected him after she heard that, "what are you talking about, Marcus? How can I possibly accept your money? My salary every month is quite a lot now. Don't worry. This is a small matter to me. That's what I had planned when I rented a house near Mister and Missus Yates back then. I know what you mean. You just don't want to let other people harass the two of them. They're at home during the day but they'll just go out in the morning to get groceries and so on. Don't worry. I'll take good care of them. As for the ten thousand dollars, just save it up. when Kingston and I get married, you can just give it to me as a gift."

On the other end of the call, Marcus smiled. "Alright. I will save it for you."

Eevonne paused for a moment before she said, "Marcus, that woman—"

Marcus immediately cut Eevonne off. "Don't worry, Eevonne. In my heart, there's only Yvonne, the person who shared the same name as you but with a different spelling. If she doesn't return in this life, I will never remarry and have other children. I will wait for her for the rest of my life. Even if she were to only return when she's eighty years old, I'll wait for her until she turns eighty then. If she were to never return anymore in this life, then I'll spend the rest of my life alone.

As for that small movie actress, I won't even take another look at her. I won't fancy another woman who's even ten times more pretty than her, much less her, whose appearance is so..."

Actually, Marcus was not a person who would dislike the poor and dislike a person's appearance. It was just that he really was disgusted by that woman.

Chapter 2689 "I got it, Marcus. I shouldn't be interfering in this matter, to begin with. Don't worry. I'll help you to take care of the two elderly people," Eevonne told Marcus not to worry over the phone.

After she hung up the call, she stood outside of the neighborhood of Mister and Missus Yate's house for a while as if she was afraid that the woman would return. Half an hour later, and after Eevonne saw that the woman did not return, only then did she truly leave.

When she returned to the house that she was staying at, the first thing she did was to arrange all the contents of the work for the next day. Especially the information she needed the next day to target Dash's company. She has to be fully prepared for it. Setting aside the other matters, in terms of her expertise, she certainly could not let the other party find any fault in herself, she arranged the documents for work until night, but Eevonne still found it a little hard to fall asleep, she then picked up a Spanish novel and started reading it softly.

That was a process for Eevonne to practice her Spanish pronunciation. Usually, as long as she has the time, she would go to the most bustling place in the city to be a free tour guide for others. The goal of that was to practice her pronunciation and listening skills. Recently, her Spanish was improving very quickly. On many occasions, she was able to engage in long conversations with others very easily. Also, she was more and more in love with Spanish.

Eevonne gradually fell asleep in the process of reading the Spanish novel. Perhaps it was because she had spoken to Sabrina and Sebastian, which gave her a huge confidence boost, or perhaps she was tired from arranging the documents after she came home. Eevonne slept very soundly that night.

When she woke up, it was already half past six in the morning. Eevonne immediately got out of bed and went to brush her teeth and wash her face in a hurry. After that, she rode her bicycle to Mister and Missus Yates' house. She had just made a promise to Marcus last night, so she has to go over at that moment to have a look, right? Even though she was running a little late. Eevonne ordered herself that she has to wake up at six in the morning the next day no matter what.

However, when she rode her bicycle to Mister and Missus Yates' house, it was still not too late. Eevonne was a smart person, she went directly to the market, when she got to the market, she saw both Mister and Missus Yates in the distance carrying a bag of something.

"Missus Yates, what are these?" Eevonne asked from a distance.

Mister Yates answered, "Potatoes, and they're very fresh. We're preparing to bury some of them. You don't know about this, but it's even fresher if you have it after burying it. Eevonne, take a few of them home. It's really rare to get such potatoes. You have no idea, but you'll gain plenty if you come to the market and pick out vegetables earlier in the morning."

Eevonne smiled. "I know. I could tell, Mister and Missus Yates."

She helped them carry the potatoes and put them in front of her bicycle. She then used the bicycle to bring the bag of potatoes back to their house. The potatoes were freshly harvested, so Eevonne got dirt all over her legs and body on the way back. Also, because she was fetching potatoes, she could not ride quickly. Therefore, she was already running out of time when they returned.

On top of that, because she got dirt all over her legs from the potatoes, Eevonne was caught up for a period to tidy herself up in the house, when she headed out, she was already running out of time. She took a look at the time and decided to hail a cab to head to the subway station that did not need transferring in order to ensure she was not late.

That way, she would be able to save some time. She did not care about how much the cab fare would be and just hailed a cab to go straight to the subway station. In the end, of all days, the cab she was in broke down halfway. It was right at the morning rush hour, so it was absolutely difficult for Eevonne to find another cab.

Just like that, she had to walk all the way to the subway station. By the time she took the subway and got to her company, she was late. However, as soon as Eevonne entered her company, she saw Dash sitting in the lobby in a suit.

"What a coincidence, Miss York. You're late again?" Dash said to Eevonne incredibly sarcastically.

Chapter 2690 Eevonne was slightly embarrassed for a second, but she quickly recovered and smiled. "Mister Long, it's my pleasure to collaborate with you. From today on, I'll be the person in charge of liaising with you."

Dash was looking at Eevonne and his gaze was filled with aggressiveness and judgment. Eevonne just pretended that she did not see it, and she continued smiling while looking at him. She knew that Dash was disgusted by her and his gaze indicated that he did not want to spare her, but what has that got to do with her? Other people's gaze was just bullshit! That was the inspiration Eevonne got from Sabrina and Sebastian.

"Mister Long, please open up your document, so I can go through it with you." Eevonne looked at Dash with a calm smile.

Dash was stunned. He was so focused on staring at Eevonne that he did not even regain his senses. "You..."

After a long while, Dash actually said, "You're unexpectedly quite calm."

Eevonne was still smiling a little. "Otherwise, what do you think, Mister Long? I'm working now. shouldn't I be fully focused at work? Mister Long, you really have to let me take a look at your documents. From now on, all of your materials, your semi ‐ finished products, and all of your raw materials have to be inspected by our company before you get the prepayment.

Otherwise, it would be your time that would be delayed."

Her attitude was especially good. She was gentle and polite, and she also had a kind of relaxation that was just right. She had a kind of indescribable charm. Did Eevonne become prettier? No! She was not as well-dressed as she was a few years ago when she was arrogant and vain. In terms of appearance, she looked like she had been through a lot and had a few more wrinkles than a few years before. However, why was Eevonne even better-looking than before at that moment? she was probably even more pleasing to the eye!

Dash did not even realize it himself that he was feeling that Eevonne was more pleasing to his eyes when he was looking at her.

He just felt even more annoyed. He was annoyed that this woman was not submissive to him anymore and was not asking for his mercy at every turn anymore. It was as if she was simply not in his control. He realized that he was somewhat unable to control this woman.

Dash was shocked by himself. Why would he use the term "control " to describe the unequal relationship he used to have with Eevonne? Yes! His relationship with Eevonne was unequal! Ever since they started dating, Eevonne was extremely submissive to him without any principles at all. Even though that period was very short and was not even two years in total, Dash had never expected that it was actually a feeling that was deep in his bones.

Sometimes, when two people were in love with each other, they would be attracted to each other and inseparable when they were deeply affectionate for each other. However, when they got annoyed at each other, they would get tired of each other, and that may happen very quickly. It may be three months. It may be one month, for example.

However, sometimes, they might not be that attracted to each other. It might be that one party was attracted to the other party.

However, the other party would just hog the person for the sake of making do with somebody. It was a kind of mindset of treating the partner as someone dispensable and also considered treating the other person as a charity case. Then, the person who was attracted by the partner would always give his or her all to love and to be attracted. The person who was attracting the partner would live a very carefree life with lots of freedom. They could care about their partner when they feel like it and could also ignore their partner when they wanted to. They would not feel sad even if they were to break up in the future. That kind of feeling was the best.

Was Dash not having that kind of feeling in the past? In that romantic relationship he had with Eevonne, he was in control. When was it ever Eevonne's turn to be in control? Was it because Eevonne has a big company to back her up at that moment? what right does she have to be backed by a big company? she did not even graduate from middle school, and she was a woman with such a huge debt and such a tainted past! she was simply relying on deceiving others! How shameless! This woman was getting more and more skilled at pretending.

"Very well!" After Dash was distracted for a while, he returned to being normal.
