Chapter 28 He Married Me for Her
If Evelyn had told me this a while back, I might’ve been shaken. But by now, I had
had already accepted that Christopher never had
feelings for me. So, I wasn’t interested in questioning Evelyn further
I looked at her calmly and said. “If you’re so sure of yourself, why do you keep coming here to bother me?”
She had barged into my office early in the morning, acting like a wifi confronting a mistress.
Seeing my indifference, Evelyn got a hit anxious. She didn’t wall for he
ne to ask and declared triumphantly, “It’s because of me.”

Evelyn leaned on my desk, slightly bending forward, looking at me e I was defented. “Hope, if it weren’t for me, he would never have married you! You would never have any relation with the Valente family!”
Hearing this, my heart clenched, and an indescribable feeling spread through my chest.
Evelyn’s red lips curled up in satisfaction as she crossed her arms. “Bentley threatened him. If he didn’t marry you, he’d use his power to kick me out of the country.”
I always know Christopher didn’t love me, but hearing this still hurt more than I could express.
“So, he married me because he had no other choice, all for Evelyn? 1hought.
A wave of sadness washed over me, but I quickly suppressed it and looked at Evelyn with a mocking smile.
“Is that so? Then you should be thanking me for marrying Christopher. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here talking to me right.
now.”
“You’d have been kicked out of the country long ago!” I retorted.
Evelyn’s face froze, and she became furious, gritting her teeth. “Where do you get off with all this nonsense…?”
“Don’t take that tone with me.”
I frowned in displeasure, tucking my hair behind my ungrateful and heartless.”

“Hope!”
Evelyn looked like she wanted to kill me, but she didn’t say anything else. I looked up, puzzled, and saw her staring intently at my neckline, her breathing heavy, fists clenched.
“So, you took that necklace!” she asked.
“He insisted on giving it to me,” I interrupted her, saying it on purpose.
Sure enough, Evelyn got even angrier. “No way! Besides, you’re getting divorced. How can you accept such an expensive gift?”

“You know we’re just about to get divorced, not actually

After those last words, I didn’t want to argue with Evelyn anymore, got up to head to the bathroom. Pregnancy had brought on all the symptoms–morning sickness, fatigue and frequent urination
Suddenly, Evelyn took two big steps forward, grabbed my arm, and ched for my neck. “It’s mine! Give it back!”
I didn’t expect Evelyn to go this crazy. The ruby’s edges dug painfully Into my neck as she yanked the necklace back and forth like she was sawing at my throat with a dull knife.
I couldn’t fight her off right now, so I said, “Let go: 1’ll take it off for you!”
But there was no way I’d give Evelyn a $30 million necklace just like dial.
The moment she loosened her grip, 1 pushed her away hard. She didn’t expect me to trick her and fell to the ground with a yelp.
I didn’t have time to worry about her. Afraid she’d hurt my baby, I turned and
Just then, the door flew open, and I met Christopher’s deep blue eyes, filled with tension.
Evelyn, usually so combative, was now a picture of vulnerability, sitting on the floor crying.
“Christopher, it hurts,” she whimpered, her voice so soft I almost doubted she was the one who had just tried to rip my necklace off.
Christopher’s face was cold as he strode past me and picked Evelyn up. “Where does it hurt?”
“My back hurts a lot,” she sobbed, nestled in his arms. “I was just asking her about work, and she pushed me. Christopher, maybe she should be the director. Everyone sides with her, and 1 can’t stand this work environment anymore.”
I frowned, amazed at Evelyn’s ability to twist the truth. I almost laughed in disbelief but caught Christopher’s scrutinizing gaze.
“Is that true?” His voice was icy, sending chills down my spine.
I laughed bitterly. “Would you believe me if I said it wasn’t?”
“Christopher,” Evelyn cried, clutching his suit jacket–the one I designed and tailored for his birthday this year.
Christopher didn’t answer me. He just looked down at Evelyn, frowning, seemingly annoyed but actually concerned. “You’re not a child. Falling down and crying like this? I’ll take you to the hospital
He strode out as if afraid something might happen to his precious Evelyn, leaving me
