Chapter 18

So that was what Blake was truly worried about. He only cared about Evelyn because of his collaboration with Blazen, not because of their past relationship.

In his eyes, she was just Lucas’ wife. If she didn’t know her place, Lucas’ anger might affect him and cause a lot of problems.

Calmly looking at him, Evelyn asked, “Is that all you wanted to say to me?”

Blake put out his cigarette and turned to look at her. “That’s not all. Jessica doesn’t know about our past relationship. You should play nice with her.”

Was he warning her to say nothing?

Evelyn suddenly felt like laughing, but after everything that had gone down today, she felt her nose sting.

She said impassively, “Blake, I can talk to her if she’s curious about how you became my brother, but is there anything else between us?”

He frowned momentarily before he smirked. Then, he responded, “Evie, you’re all grown up now. You can hide the relationship that everyone used to know about.”

Back then, the Grant family knew about Evelyn’s feelings toward him. Now, she could suppress her feelings for him. He liked how mature she had become.

“As for Lucas, it’s normal for men to fool around outside their marriage. Jessica doesn’t know that he’s your husband, so don’t go around making a fuss over it and making things hard for Tiffany,” Blake reminded her.

“Did Lucas tell you to say that?” Evelyn met his gaze.

However, he turned to leave without explaining anything.

Evelyn stood in the corridor, feeling the cold wind against her skin. She took a deep breath and smiled mockingly.

The man who had once promised never to let anyone hurt or bully her was now watching her being dragged through the mud. He had even made it a point to ask her not to make things difficult for Jessica and Tiffany.

By the time Blake had returned to the room, he looked at Lucas and Tiffany.

Lucas was chatting with them, not caring about the earlier incident.

Meeting them at Reis Mountain had been purely coincidental. He had only realized that Tiffany and Jessica were close after yesterday’s incident, and they even had dinner together that night.
