Chapter 186: Chapter 186: How Could You Do This to Me?
Evelyn Curtis thought this was their first meeting today.
But to her surprise, the always aloof Justin Battleson, unexpectedly let his guard down in front of Charlotte Thompson.
If the two of them talked for a bit longer, would there still be a place for her, Evelyn Curtis?
"Why can’t we speak here, why do you need to talk alone?" Evelyn Curtis’ eyes were burning red with jealousy.
She desperately held Justin Battleson’s arm, not allowing them to leave alone.
Justin Battleson mercilessly brushed off her hand from his arm.
Maybe it was because he was in front of Charlotte Thompson that he subconsciously didn’t want her to misunderstand.
Evelyn Curtis was stunned, looking at his action, her face full of disbelief.
Was he in such a hurry to sever ties with her?
"Watch your status, I want to talk about Vanguard Jewelry with her, don’t cause trouble."
Each word spat out from Justin Battleson’s thin lips felt like a sharp knife, stabbing directly at Evelyn Curtis’ heart.
Over and over, the pain was excruciating, blood flowed like a river.
His ruthless words smashed into her heart, laden with warnings towards her.
For the first time, Evelyn Curtis felt so helpless, stepping back again and again.
Previously, Justin Battleson had been cold towards her, but never treated her like this in front of others.
Is it that after Sophie Allen left, another Charlotte comes to oppose her?
Intense hatred erupted, Evelyn Curtis’s eyes filled with blood, glaring bitterly at Charlotte Thompson.
Ironically, Evelyn Curtis actually hoped to hear rejection from her lips.
But Charlotte Thompson just quietly crossed her arms, adopting an "it doesn’t concern me" attitude, smiling at the scene in front of her.
She didn’t say a word, but that smile stung Evelyn Curtis’s eyes.
"Justin, how could you treat me like this?" Evelyn Curtis lowered her gaze, her eyes full of tears when she opened them again.
She always thought that any man can resist a woman reduced to tears.
Unfortunately, Justin Battleson was not moved by her tactic.
A woman who always cries is rather repulsive to him.
He never found her so annoying before.
Continually entangled like this, did she really consider herself his woman?
After one last glance at Evelyn Curtis, Justin Battleson’s eyes were full of disappointment with her.
After so many years of compensation, it should be enough to make up for her, allowing her to act recklessly under the name of his woman is a thing of the past now.
"It’s just a matter of business, you should go home first." Justin Battleson replied coldly, and after these words, he walked towards Charlotte Thompson.
To Justin Battleson, Evelyn Curtis was just a person he once encountered and felt responsible for.
But that one time was just an accident, he was framed and had no choice but to defile her, he felt guilty and was very generous in terms of resources and money.
As long as she said she was short of money or wanted some resources, Justin would have someone arrange it for her.
But this does not mean she can become arrogant, deep down, Justin Battleson had no feelings for her.
The outside world was talking about how Evelyn Curtis was favored, being able to remain firmly by Justin Battleson’s side, becoming his bedfellow.
But only they knew that since that accident he hadn’t touched her again, they had no romantic relationship.
That he had been polite and respectful to her these past five years means he has fulfilled his duty as a gentleman.
Evelyn Curtis felt even more unsure, after all, she was not the one who had a one-night stand with him at that time, she was just an imposter.
The moment Justin Battleson walked passed her towards Charlotte Thompson, Evelyn Curtis was like a person who had lost her support.
She stared blankly as he walked away, wanting to reach out and hold him, but it was as if she didn’t have the strength to do so.
