Chapter 42: Andrew might be realizing the truth: Evelyn plays victim
Soon enough Evelyn finally finished talking with her dad and ended the call.
Meanwhile Andrew was still looking at Miss Stephanie having such a good time with Logan. It was already starting to eat into him.
The exotic trays packed in front of them, how Miss Stephanie laughed at every single one of the jokes that he threw—it made him really lose his mind.
Evelyn couldn’t help but look at Andrew passionately.
The truth remained that she had obviously used Logan to get close to him, despite pretending to actually like him when in actual sense she really didn’t like him one bit.
The love Evelyn had for Andrew had kept on growing since then, and now seeing him look jealous was breaking her heart gradually.
"Look, Andrew, I promise you. I know our relationship has been a little shaky these two days, but I promise you everything would actually be very fine soon. I promise. Now let’s talk," Evelyn said seriously, ending her speech with a very calm tone and a slight smile, nudging his hand gently.
"Because of this relationship I have basically lost everything in just 2 days," Andrew spoke calmly, his sight still set at their table.
The way they were conversing almost made Andrew run mad.
He couldn’t believe it.
It changed something within him.
Everyone there saw his mom there with a nobody, but they didn’t say anything.
They didn’t behave like it was abnormal in any way at all.
In fact, most of them that had actually come to take her autographs also asked Logan for his.
It was like he deserved to be respected because he was with my mother and not the other way round.
That made Andrew question all his decisions so far.
And that was when he asked her the controversial question.
Evelyn was still taken aback, shocked by his words and wondering where exactly they were coming from.
"Look, Andrew, you haven’t lost everything. Trust me. My father is good. In no time your mom’s company would be pulled down to shreds and you guys can now dominate and force them into paying the 200 million and filing for bankruptcy. Just trust—" Immediately Andrew cut her short before she could even continue speaking.
"And to what exactly does that really benefit me?" Evelyn yet again was taken aback by Andrew’s question.
"Yes, it would. Just trust," Evelyn at this point was in complete turmoil as she did not understand where Andrew was headed.
I mean, it was really just two days. Things must not be that bad yet, but he was talking as if he had already lost it in life.
Andrew interrupted her and finally dropped the banger on her.
"If I lose everything today and become a nobody, would you still love me as much as you claim to?" he said, never taking his eyes off his mom.
Since the last 2 years he had never seen his mom smile and laugh so heartily. For the first time she looked alive.
But Evelyn for the first time was speechless. She had no answer for him.
Would she actually still like him?
Because at the end the result of her action would actually make him a nobody, and can she really marry a nobody?
Right now she loved Andrew so much, but thinking about such a thing she might not know how she would feel if he suddenly actually just lost everything.
"I thought as much. This is really your true color. What if Logan was actually from a very rich background? What if he had all the money and a powerful empire backing him? What would you have done if he had asked you out?
Would you even have given me a hearing if I had actually asked you to be my girlfriend?"
Yet again Evelyn was still silent. Somehow she wished she could explain this to Andrew in a way that didn’t make her sound stupid.
Maybe tell him the high expectations his father has of her, or probably tell him about how hard it would be for her to let him go.
Or maybe she was just confused, or maybe she just didn’t have the right answer for him.
But the hesitation was just enough for him.
He stood up and left the restaurant without any more words.
Meanwhile Evelyn was left alone. She was still wondering what to do.
The mood of the night had obviously soured overnight. It was like someone had died somewhere.
Seeing that there was nothing to do again, she decided to go live.
After all, this was a nice time to make that apology video.
Since it would not obviously be very hard to act like you’re really apologizing if you are actually really sad.
But she was about to get the shock of her life.
Immediately she opened her account she discovered she had already lost more than 500k followers. She was now at just a million.
It was like magic to her.
She turned to look at Miss Stephanie, her hate for her intensifying at the moment.
With a renewed hate she immediately decided to go live instead of just making a video. At least it would be believable.
And in less than a minute that is exactly what happened. She immediately turned on her camera and immediately went live, begging over and over again, trying so hard to explain herself and force down the tears.
And it worked like magic. Within minutes thousands and thousands of viewers tuned in.
Most of them were satisfied with her apology and began flocking her with gifts. When she had reached about 500 thousand views she finally turned the camera to show Miss Stephanie laughing and eating with Logan.
Saying that she would officially go and apologize to them before ending the stream.
And this made the viewers even more ecstatic.
It was like she just dropped a bomb. Within minutes she got more than 2 million viewers extra.
But her plan was even more sinister. She knew exactly how strict Miss Stephanie was, and she knew that for sure she won’t entertain such, so it was obvious that when she goes both Logan and her would not even give her any hearing ears, which would make them look very selfish and cause a whole bunch of audience coming after them.
At this point Evelyn was already in tears, making her act look very, very real.
But even before she could react, Crystalbel came rushing through the doors of the restaurant, creating a scene.
And yes, of course, she was still live.
