Chapter 8
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 buried 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 joke. Look, he didn’t even accompany me for the prenatal check–up because of you
Martin suddenly remembered that today was Evelyn’s prenatal check–up.
His
heart Lightened 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.”
As the words fell, Evelyn turned around and left
Walking faster and faster.
Suddenly, a hand suddenly grabbed her.
She was forced to stop
p 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 than 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?”
“In your eyes, am I 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 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 now.”
Π
“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,
But for some reason, the footsteps could no longer move forward.
The sky the next day y 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 book 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 mind 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.”
