Chapter 482 All Eyes Watching
Tilda had a vague suspicion. Now, seeing it with her own eyes, she was completely certain.
Wasn’t that Genevieve? The one who plagiarized Tilda’s work back in Slosa and swindled people with her lies. She even tried to marry into the Jensons by claiming she’d saved Justin’s life.
When Genevieve’s gaze fell on Tilda, she couldn’t help but freeze. A cold feeling rose from her bones and spread throughout her body.
Countless questions swirled in Genevieve’s mind. Ever since her identity was exposed, she’d feared the Jensons’ retaliation. Genevieve had changed her name and gone into hiding, even fleeing to Endralsia. Why would she still run into Tilda here? The world is so big. How could such a coincidence happen? Genevieve couldn’t figure out what kind of twisted fate this was.
“What? You know her?”
The nouveau riche man had his arms around Genevieve, but his face lit up when he spotted Tilda. What a gorgeous woman, and she’s from Cetherlander too! She had a cold, ethereal quality, like untouchable snow on a mountain peak, and carried herself with the air of someone looking down on everyone. It was an invisible weapon against men–one that could kill without leaving a trace!
“I… I don’t know her.” Genevieve smiled awkwardly. In her heart, she hoped Tilda wouldn’t deliberately expose her. She wanted her to quickly leave with her man. She definitely didn’t want the Jensons to find out about her current pathetic state.
“Oh my, how can you say you don’t know me? When you plagiarized someone’s work and I exposed you, it was quite the big deal. What’s this? The once internationally renowned Genevieve, so young, beautiful, and promising, is now hiding out in Endralsia with…”
Tilda deliberately paused, her eyes scanning the bald man from head to toe. “Ms. Lichtenstein certainly has unique taste in choosing her boyfriends.”
The bald man completely missed the sarcasm in Tilda’s words. Instead, he proudly admitted with swagger, “You bet! Genevieve’s been with me since she was 13!”
“William!” Genevieve glanced at William Evans and whispered, “She’s crazy and we have bad blood. Don’t bother with her. Let’s go quickly. Didn’t you already book a room?”
“Whoa there! No need to be so eager. I’ve got my eye on this lady here.” William spoke with a sleazy grin. His perverted gaze drifted back to Tilda, full of desire.
Seeing this, Genevieve’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t help but clench her fists. Even though Genevieve was only with William for the better life and luxury he provided, saying she loved him would be a lie. Looking at this greasy, perverted bald man made her stomach turn. Unfortunately, he had money and resources. He could easily help Genevieve get the things she desperately wanted. But she couldn’t tolerate her man looking at other women with those eyes! Especially when that woman was Tilda!
“If you keep looking at my companion like that, I’ll rip your eyes out.” Rain suddenly spoke coldly.
Only then did William and the others notice Rain. Realizing this young man was probably Tilda’s boyfriend, William wanted to show off. He immediately slammed the table hard.
“You little punk, what did you just say? Do you know who I am?” The sound immediately grabbed the attention of everyone in the café.
After organizing the documents, Tobias’s secretary heard the commotion behind them. She spoke in a hushed tone. “Mr. Lowell, something seems to be happening over there.”
“I’m not blind or deaf, I can see for myself.”
“That man … seems to be William, the second son of the Evans. They came from Cetherland to Endralsia years ago to develop the fashion industry. You could say the Evans has a monopoly on Endralsia’s fashion industry. Real nouveau riche! William bought a yacht worth a billion dollars three months ago. His wealth is staggering.” Tobias immediately pieced together William’s background information.
The secretary spoke nervously, “That… that’s trouble then! It looks like the lady you care about has gotten into hot water! Should you go help?” Even though she worked for Tobias, the secretary had seen a thing or two. But someone who could drop a billion dollars on a yacht would shock anyone, especially someone from a family that monopolized Endralsia’s fashion industry.
“Well, if it were an ordinary woman, this would be trouble. But for her, it probably won’t be a big deal.” Tobias smiled.
Tobias didn’t really know Tilda’s background, but he had this feeling that she was unfathomable and not to be messed with. She was the first woman who gave him that sense.
Seeing this scene, Santiago also thought this was bad news. Someone as famous as William was known to Santiago. He’d even met him at a banquet a few days ago. He disliked nouveau riche like William. But unfortunately, the man was loaded and could throw his weight around however he wanted.
