Chapter 89
Eva scooped up a handful of cold water to wash her face, calming her emotions considerably. With one hand supporting herself on the sink, she looked at her reflection in the mirror, replaying John’s words in her mind.
To sincerely and feel? Feel what exactly? Eva didn’t understand, but since John’s words were vague and the private room was crowded, she didn’t ask further. She just found it absurd that John’s thoughts were different from Adrian’s. If she understood correctly, John wanted to mediate between Adrian and her?
Why? Even if they were to mediate, shouldn’t it be Vivian?
Forget it, she didn’t feel like thinking about it anymore.
Eva grabbed a tissue to dry her hands and walked outside.
“Vivian, please don’t be upset anymore. Everything turned out this way because of me. If I hadn’t spoken out of turn, Adrian wouldn’t have treated you like this,” a familiar voice made Eva pause in her steps. She stood still, speechless, as she looked at the few people standing by the entrance of the restroom.
It was Vivian and her friends, along with Julia, who had almost gotten into a fight with her.
Vivian was quietly sobbing, saying, “It has nothing to do with you. You’re just express what you think. I know you are kind, and Adrian understands that too. It’s just… his heart isn’t with me anymore, right?” a sinister expression flashed across Julia’s face.
“It’s all Eva’s fault. She must be taking advantage of being Adrian’s wife on the surface to seduce him. Otherwise, why would Adrian treat you like this? Vivian, don’t worry, I’ll stand up for you p>
“Forget it,” Vivian held her hand, tears glistening in her eyes. “I don’t want to drag you into this anymore. You’ve already spoken up for me today, but rest assured, once he calms down, I’ll plead with him on your behalf.” “Vivian, we’re good friends. How can this be considered a burden? Standing up for a good friend is something I should do p>
Eva’s eyes flashed with sarcasm.
No wonder there’s a saying not to associate with foolish people. Because foolish people can’t distinguish right from wrong, yet they always think they’re righteous, when most of the time, they’re just being used by others. One had to admit, Vivian had manipulated these people well.
Lost in thought, Eva caught someone’s gaze from their group.
“Eva p>
This name was sensitive, and all the eyes turned towards Eva. Julia’s resentment deepened, as she glared at Eva with gritted teeth.
“Eva! It’s you, why were you eavesdropping p>
“Eavesdropping?” Eva let out a sigh. “I came to use the restroom, and when I came out, I overheard you all talking by the restroom door. Even from a distance, it was discernible. Does that count as eavesdropping p>
Julia looked at Eva, who seemed relaxed, then turned her gaze to Vivian, tears glistening in her eyes.
She has bullied me so much, and Eva doesn’t feel a shred of guilt about it. Doesn’t she feel sorry for what she did to Vivian?
What a wretched one!
Julia was filled with anger and approached Eva with a dark glare in her eyes.
Eva prepared herself in advance and cautiously took a step back.
But Julia was irrational, never considering the consequences of her actions. She lunged forward and grabbed Eva by the hair, shouting, “You slut, are you happy and proud of seducing someone else’s man?” Vivian’s friends, including herself, were stunned. They did not expect the conversation to turn physical, with Julia resorting to violence.
Those who had relationships with Vivian were from good backgrounds.
Though their families could not compare to the Morrison family, they were still influential individuals. As their children, they couldn’t afford to lose face outside.
So they avoided engaging in such petty fights, let alone resort to physical violence.
However, Julia was impulsive.
Vivian was also shocked. She did want to teach Eva a lesson and felt a strong dislike towards her.
But… resorting to physical violence could worsen her relationship with Adrian. This was never part of her plan.
So when she saw this unfold, she wanted to step forward and intervene.
However, after taking just a few steps forward, she stopped.
Wait, why was she trying to stop it?
Perhaps during this dispute, an accident might occur and harm the baby in her womb p>
While it was still early in the pregnancy, if someone else took care of it, it would eliminate future problems. This seemed like a good idea.
If it was discovered later on, she wouldn’t be the one directly involved.
After giving it some thought, Vivian stood in place, pretending to be scared and foolish. Her friends, were genuinely shocked and didn’t know how to react. Although Eva had managed to retreat, her hair had unfortunately suffered.
In that instant, she felt a tearing sensation on her scalp, followed by pain and anger.
She glanced at the triumphant Julia, wondering if this woman thought that others would allow her to bully them without fighting back?
Eva sneered and, ignoring the pain, stomped on Julia’s toes without any reservations.
Although Eva wasn’t wearing high heels today, the heel of her shoe coming down on Julia’s toes was still enough to cause her considerable pain.
Julia let out a pained scream, her facial expression instantly distorted and hideous. She reflexively released Eva’s hand, no longer able to grip it due to the pain.
She glared at Eva, attempting to grab her with her other hand, “You…you slut p>
Eva grabbed her hand, “We’re both women. Do you think I would lose to you if we competed in strength p>
Eva applied force with her foot, causing Julia to scream in agony. She also released her grip, defenseless under Eva’s dominance.
The turn of events was unexpected by everyone else, as Eva, with her beautiful and delicate appearance, seemed like a bankrupt heiress. Who would have known that she could fight so fiercely?
The others reacted and hurriedly ran forward to break up the fight.
Eva’s face changed, and she let go and took a few steps back to avoid them.
The commotion caused by their screams had already attracted the attention of the people in the private room. As Eva stepped back, Vivian, who had sharp eyes, happened to notice and panicked. She caught up and grabbed Eva. Eva didn’t see who was pouncing on her, there were a group of people. She swung her arm when she saw someone rushing towards her, but before she could make a move, the one screamed and fell to the side. “Ah p>
In a split second, accompanied by a scream, Vivian, wearing high heels, tumbled down the nearby stairs.
