Chapter 6
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into silence.
Martin frowned for a moment, feeling a bit annoyed, and pressed his brow, “Don’t joke with me,”
Joke?
Evelyn gazed at the handsome man in front of her for a long time, her heart filled with bitterness.
She had been his secretary for five years and was familiar with his every move.
She remembered the despair of that drunken night, as well as the sincerity of his proposal and the smile on their child’s face when they were born in a past life.
Every little thing made her believe that their marriage was a little bit of love.
Until Isabel’s appearance, all her fantasies were shattered
Evelyn’s eyes turned red, and an inexplicable sadness engulfed her entire body. A surge of unwillingness washed over her as she suddenly asked. “Martin, do you know that I liked you?”
Martin was stunned.
He stared straight into Evelyn’s red eyes, and after a while, he averted his gaze and said lightly, “If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have married you.”
My heart felt as if it had been forcefully hollowed out, and the intense pain spread.
Getting the expected answer, Evelyn could no longer hold her composure and a tear welled up in her eyes.
The women’s despair, with tears in her eyes, was so intense that it almost drowned her.
Martin hesitated for a moment. The unfamiliar affection made him want to avoid it.
had something else to do, you rest well.”
Saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Seeing that he wanted to leave, Evelyn took a step forward and grabbed him, stubbornly wanting an answer.
“You told me, when you proposed to me, you really didn’t have the slightest liking for mer
Martin lowered his gaze and cruelly pulled away, ignoring her tightly clenched hand-
“You were still pregnant, so think carefully about the divorce,”
He left home, leaving behind these words.
The hour hand gradually moved towards twelve o’clock.
Evelyn set at the table.
She finally moved when the phone rang over and over again.
Looking at the name of her mother on the screen, she struggled for a moment with her eyes closed and then answered the call.
“Evelyn, your brother is getting married. The Jade Garden neighborhood is nice. Hurry and ask Mr. Wilson to send more money!
Listening to her mother’s casual tone, Evelyn didn’t even have the strength to get angry.
He simply said, “Thad no money.
“What, no money? Evelyn! Don’t think that just because you’ve married into a wealthy family, you’ll automatically become successful. In the end, you’ll still have to rely on your brother to support you ”
“I won’t give it to you. We are getting divorced, and you better throw up everything you have eaten before,” Evelyn couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted directly.
“What! What on earth happened! Did Martin have a mistress outside!”
The phone on the other end of the line erupted with a deafening exclamation, and then the conversation took a sudden turn.
“Rich people are not all like this, you have his seed in your belly! You are also disappointing, having a child but still unable to hold onto a man’s heart. It’s
time to make some money while you haven’t given birth yet, that’s the real deal, understand?”
Evelyn laughed silently, tears fell once again, and her hand weakly let go of the phone, which slipped to the ground.
With a bang, it shattered her last glimmer of hope.
She didn’t understand how she
e had managed to persevere for those ten years in her past life.
But she knew that if given a chance to relive her life, she didn’t want to go through those days again.
The next day.
Evelyn had just arrived at the company, but she felt strange pazes closely following her.
A faint sound drifted over.
“You didn’t hear it, but that slap was really load.”
Evelyn’s footsteps came to a halt.
Yeah, if I were her, I wouldn’t have the face to stay in the company.”
“Stop talking about it. She has suffered enough, not only did she have her peach plucked by the president’s mistress, but she also got slapped for no
reason..
Words of sympathy are more pitiful than mockery.
Evelyn forced a smile, clutching her bag tightly, and left unsteadily.
After taking a seat, Isabel walked over,
She put down the document and said softly, “Ms. Gomez, this is Jenny’s disciplinary notice. She will have half a month’s salary deducted. Please sign it.” Evelyn gave her a cold look and said, “I couldn’t sign it, you should let Mr. Wilson sign it.”
Isabel laughed again, her meaning unclear, “Olcay, Ms. Gomez.”
Then she walked briskly into the president’s office
After a while, Martin and Isabel walked out side by side, unaware of what they were saying, with an intimate posture.
Just at that moment, there was suddenly a noise at the elevator entrance.
Evelyn chased out of the door, shocked.
Her mother, in a fit of anger, stormed forward and slapped Isabel with a loud “smack“!
“You, the vixen, seduced my son–in–law, shameless little slut!”
Evelyn’s face inmediately changed, and she stepped forward to grab her, saying, “Mon, what are you doing?”
“Useless thing”
Evelyn’s mother, however, pushed her hand away and went forward to grab Martin
“Son–in–law, I came here today to demand an explanation. My daughter was carrying your child, yet you were flirting with this visen. If you don’t get rid of this vixen today, , this matter won’t be over!”
This earth–shattering news resounded in the sky like thunder.
Everyone a p
at present looked at each other in disbelief, their faces full of incredulity.
Mr. Wilson and Ms. Gomez! Were they married?!
Chapter 7
Everyone was stunned.
But due to the presence of Mr. Wilson, I could only express my inner thoughts through winking and frowning
Evelyn was still in a daze when she saw Martin coldly glance at her mother and snatch his hand back
Evelyn’s mother was pushed away with a cry of pain.
Isabel, with tears in her eyes, spoke up, “I don’t know what you misunderstood, but Mr. Willson and I were just former boyfriend and girlfriend, and now we are completely innocent.”
She paused and glanced at Evelyn, choking back tears as she said, “If some people wanted to cause trouble for me, they could have confronted me face to face, instead of resorting to such low tactles!”
Evelyn’s mother was so angry that she wanted to hit her. She raised her hand and scolded, “Hey, you little bitch…”
Martin’s face had turned completely black.
He directly approached and pushed Evelyn’s mother aside, sternly reprimanding, “Security, escort her out and never let her in again!”
Evelyn’s mother shouted and was dragged out
The top office restored calm, but at this moment, the atmosphere was even more oppressive than before, with a sense of an impending storm.
Under the countless scorching gazes, Evelyn wanted to explain.
She opened her mouth, but Martin didn’t even look at her. He walked away with Isabel without burning back.
“Oh, my goodness, a shocking revelation! Mr. Wilson and Ms. Gomez had a secret marriage and had a child together. The mistress was furious and came to their home to confront them, causing a big scene. It was a moment of confusion as we didn’t know which scandal to believe.”
“No, it’s not right. Ms. Gomez had been with Mr. Wilson for five years, and there were no signs before. How did they suddenly get married and have a child?
“Who the mistress is is still uncertain, maybe Ms. Gomez is also involved in It? Judging by Mr. Wilson’s expression, he doesn’t seem to have any feelings
for Ms. Gomez.”
Jenny looked at the increasingly outrageous remarks in the group and angrily said, “What are they talking about? Spreading rumors.”
As he spoon, he was about to type to clarity.
Evelyn shook her head to stop him, “You said it, they wouldn’t believe it either.
Jenny put her phone down, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, “What’s the deal between you and Mr. Wilson?”
Evelyn remained silent.
After a moment’s pause, she murmured, “You’re right… A marriage without love cannot last,”
The woman’s face was
was pale, and she looked desolate all over, as if she was about to shatter
Jenny looked at Evelyn in front of her, full of pity, and asked, “So, what are you going to do?”
Evelyn pursed her lips and caught Jenny’s worried d gaze. Her heart ached as she reassured, “It’s okay, I will handle iL”
She touched her belly, her expression determined.
This time, she was going to live for herself.
When she got home, Evelyn ignored her mother’s numerous phone calls and blocked her directly.
Martin didn’t come back until 10 o’clock at night
Evelyn stepped forward, wanting to explain things clearly to him, but Martin coldly spoke first, “The money has already been sent to your mother, so please do not disturb Isabel
danymore.”
As the words fell, Evelyn’s face stiffened
Chapter 7
Did you give money again?
A surge of anger instantly welled up and blocked at the chest.
Evelyn took a deep breath and managed to suppress her anger. “Whether you believe it or not, my mom didn’t help me find the company, and I wasn’t targeting Isabel. Also, I’ve already said, don’t give my mom any more money…”
Martin interrupted her with a cold sentence, “Evelyn, don’t make me regret marrying you.”
Evelyn was stunned.
This sentence was like a lightning bolt, hitting her head hard, making her vision go black for a moment, and her heart paralyzed, unable to move.
Martin didn’t know when he left
Looking at the empty house in front of her, she only realized the excruciating pain that had seeped into her bones.
The next day was the day of the prenatal examination.
Evelyn sent several messages to Martin, but he did not reply.
Her eyes dimmed, and she took a taxi to the hospital alone.
A stranger’s call came in, and upon answering, it was discovered to be a call from a headhunter
Ms. Gomez, knowing about your difficulties and grievances, are you interested in considering other companies?”
The CEO of the Peterson Group highly appreciates you, and you will have better development there. An email has been sent to you, looking forward to your good news”
Evelyn was a little surprised and replied, “Thank you, I will definitely consider it.”
Picking up my phone, I opened my email and there lay a job application letter..
Annual salary of 167,000 dollars, covering company seal, full of sincerity.
She was a little shaken in her heart.
Evelyn tightly held onto the medical record and came out of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
The doctor’s words echoed in Evelyn’s mind, “Recently, you need to pay attention to your mood, as the baby’s condition is not very stable.”
Just as she arrived at the outpatient department to pay, she looked up and the scene in front of her almost made her burst into laughter.
Perhaps only laughter could respond to the absurd scene before my eyes
Isabel leaned against Martin, standing in front of her.
Isabel said, “Do you remember promising me to give me a family?”
Martin answered, “I remember.”
Isabel askod again, “If I were also pregnant, would you divorce and marry me?”
Martin was taken aback and was about to say something when he tumed his head and met Evelyn’s direct gaze.
Chapter &
Four eyes met, and Martin paused for a moment.
Evelyn laughed for a moment, “What a coincidence.”
Everyone has a threshold for pain, and once it reaches its limit, it no longer hurts.
She realized belatedly and faced the absurd scene at the moment, surprisingly remaining calm.
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Isabel’s eyes, but quickly burled it. She smiled gently and said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Gomez I was just joking. You don’t mind, do you?”
Evelyn looked straight at Martin and spoke softly, “I don’t think it was a jole, Look, he didn’t even accompany me for the prenatal check–up because of
VOIL
Martin suddenly remembered that today was Evelyn’s prenatal check–up
His heart tightened suddenly, and he hurriedly explained, “I’m sorry, I didn’t look at my phone…”
The man nearby made Evelyn instinctively take a step back, “It’s okay.”
She finished speaking and even laughed a little, saying, “You guys can continue.”
Jas the words fell, Evelyn turned around and left.
Walking faster and faster
Suddenly, hand suddenly grabbed her.
She was forced to stop and look back at the person.
Martin looked at Evelyn’s red eyes and felt his mouth dry. His voice involuntarily softened, “I’m sorry, I was too busy and forgot to check the time. It’s just that Isabel has a fever and she doesn’t have any friends in Gulfville I was just worried about her being alone…”
At this moment, Evelyn felt that Martin’s apology cut deeper then his cold words,
Isabel was his friend, but wasn’t she his wife? Wasn’t she carrying his child?
The cold wind of December took away the last trace of warmth from Evelyn’s body.
She squeezed out a voice from her throat, hoarse and gentle, “No need to apologize, go accompany her”
Martin stopped
Evelyn laughed again, with an indescribable bitterness in her smile.
“Martin, have you ever heard people say that in a relationship involving three individuals, the one who is not loved is the mistress?”
your eyes, am 1 just like a mistress?
She asked sincerely, and Martin listened with a tightly furrowed brow.
He instinctively denied, “Stop talking nonsense, I have nothing to do with her anymore.”
This sentence made Evelyn want to laugh again.
In just a few minutes, she was almost exhausted from laughing.
In the previous life, after Martin divorced her, he eagerly married Isabel.
Nonsense a few wor
words, it should be said about him, Martin
Evelyn shook her head and spoke clearly, word by word, “I have considered the divorce matter you mentioned last time and I have made up my mind
“After this year, let’s get divorced.”
Give each other a dignified farewell, and give her love for him a final reprieve.
After saying that, Evelyn walked straight into the crowd
Martin gazed at the figure that decisively went against the crowd, and his heart inexplicably felt empty.
Chapter B
But for some reason, the footsteps could no longer move forward
The sky the next day was dark and oppressive.
Early in the morning, Evelyn received a notification that a board meeting was to be held.
Evelyn walked into the conference room, lifted her gaze, and paused her footsteps.
All the directors were almost present, she glanced around, Martin was in the main seat, Isabel was in the side seat, and everyone had a serious expression, filled with the sense of having been waiting for a long time.
Evelyn’s heart “thumped” for a moment.
Once seated, a director indeed took the lead and challenged, “Evelyn, someone reported that you were involved in embezzlement and kickbacks in the ‘Forest Hotel‘ project a year ago. Do you have anything to say?”
Evelyn’s inind went blank for a few seconds, then she couldn’t believe it and said, “What? Embezzlement?
She suppressed her absurd emotions and calmly said, “I don’t know who reported it. But first of all, all the accounts of this project were audited by the finance department upon completion, and I also handed over the subsequent reports to Isabel.”
Speaking of this, she stopped and looked around
“I have always been diligent and hardworking during my tenure, putting in efforts even when there were no achievements. In a situation where there was no evidence, the company unexpectedly launched such a massive accusation against me.”
However, Isabel said at this moment, “I didn’t receive the handover documents for ‘the Forest Hotel, Ms. Gomez. You didn’t hand over this file to me.” Evelyn looked at Isabel, who appeared calm and composed, and suddenly understood
I’m afraid even the report was probably set up by this woman.
She sneered, “Ms. Caster, speaking requires responsibility. Can you take responsibility for this statement?”
Isabel was choked, but she whispered, “Ms. Gomez, I was just a newcomer, you didn’t have to be so aggressive towards me.”
Her pitiful appearance made Evelyn even more aggressive
Evelyn didn’t want to argue with her meaninglessly anymore, and looked directly at Martin, “Mr. Wilson, the documents have never gone missing while in my possession, but after handing them over to Ms. Caster, they disappeared. Shouldn’t she be held responsible for this investigation?”
Upon hearing this, Isabel’s face turned pale instantly.
All eyes turned to Martin, who was sitting in the main seat.
Martin had a gloomy expression, and Evelyn couldn’t understand his expression.
After a moment, he uttered a cold sentence, “Evelyn, suspend the investigation and don’t come to the company anymore during this period,”
Chapter 9
Evelyn stood there in shock.
In that moment, she didn’t know if she was more angry or sadder.
She only heard her own cold questioning, “Do you have to protect her like thi
În en instant, the conference room became terrifyingly silent.
Martin felt the various gazes of the directors and glanced deeply at Evelyn. Finally, he coldly said, “Your bank statement shows that you transferred 500,000 dollars to your family a year ago. Where did this money come from?”
This sentence hit Evelyn like a sledgehammer.
He didn’t even have this much trust in her.
She tightly clenched her hands and asked, word by word, “The money was saved by me, do you believe it?”
Martin remained silent
This silence, a life, cut away Evelyn’s heart, along with the flesh and blood. His distrustful gaze made it difficult for Evelyn to maintain her always upright spine
Her lips trembled, and she had to tightly clench her hands to prevent the tears from falling at that moment.
After a long while, Evelyn took a deep breath and stood up, scanning the people in the boardroom before resigning herself.
“Taccepted this decision.”
She never looked at Martin again and walked straight out of the door.
Facing numerous surprised or disdainful gazes, Evelyn walked to her workstation and began to tidy up her belongings.
Jenny rushed over, clearly having received the news, and cautiously asked, “Evelyn, are you clory?”
Evelyn shook her head slowly and said nothing.
She was like a defeated dog, scurrying away in a disheveled and dejected manner.
For a moment, I didn’t know where to go.
1 returned home in a daze, only to find my mother standing at the door, muttering and p
grumbling
As soon as Evelyn’s mother saw Evelyn, her eyes lit up and she immediately rushed forward, saying. “Evelyn, Martin only paid half of the money, I asked hin; for it, but that fox spirit always answers the phone and she even blocked me!”
It was money again..
e she became an adult, her mother seemed to have never spolien another word to her except for asking for money.
Evelyn, with a
a pair face and no hope, sill asked, “Mom, besides money, is there nothing else you want to tell me?”
Evelyn’s mother rolled her eyes in disbelief and said, “What are you saying! You useless person, your brother’s house is waiting for the final payment! Since Martin won’t give it, you should make up for it for your brother!”
Evelyn’s heart turned completely cold, “I will not give you a single penny anymore.”
“A year ago, we had already settled the 500,000–dollar debts between us.”
As soon as these words were spoken, it completely ignited the flames of war
“I am your mother! How dare you speak to me like this!” Evelyn’s mother’s expression instantly changed, and she aggressively snatched Evelyn’s bag
Evelyn was taken aback and instinctively pulled back.
She was knocked down to the ground by forceful thrust
I had severe cramping in my lower abdomen, as if something had flowed down.
”
She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, “Mo.. call an ambulance, please” What I saw was the fleeing figure of I my mother, even running ahead and not forgetting to pick up her bag-

e eyes
Evelyn raised her hand and tremblingly put it down.
In an instant, whether it was physiological or psychological, an endless sense of pain surged up, and there were waves of darkness in front of the
Evelyn crawled towards the phone, enduring the pain.
Blood stains trailed along the crawling, leaving behind a vivid and glaring path of red.
“Beep Beep Beep Beep-”
The sound of an ambulance echoed over the neighborhood.
When Evelyn was taken to the hospital, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t
topen her eyes.
“Have you contacted the patient’s family? The patient’s condition is critical and we need to perform the surgery immediately.”
“Doctor, the patient’s mother’s phone was not reachable.”
“She hit her husband”
After a while, the anxious voice of the nurse came, “Her husband’s phone was not answered, and he didn’t reply to the messages. What should we do, doctor?
Evelyn, with a nasal cannula inserted in her nose, trembled as she reached out her hand and said, “Give it to me.”
She felt waves of darkness in front of her eyes, so she decided to close her eyes and wait
The phone rang again and again, but no one answered.
She numbly persisted in hitting over and over again.
Finally, it was connected.
Evelyn tried her best to speak, but on the other end of the phone, Martin’s voice came coldly, “Still busy.”
The next second, the phone hung up.
