Chapter 256 - Her Husband (Four) [SPECIAL CHAPTERS]
"And what conditions did you give to your husband?"
Eva didn\'t answer Ruth, her best friend. She looked for an empty cubicle to piss.
"It\'s just a few dimes of his money," she replied. She came out after a minute, washed her hands, then started retouching her makeup.
"I want a permanent apartment in New York," she told Ruth.
"Are you talking about that $ 40 Million penthouse in Manhattan?" shocked registered on Ruth\'s face. She heard this guy was rich, but now, he sounded super rich!
Eva nodded. "Yes. And the latest Ferrari, the white satin one, a $50 Million transfer on my bank account, and a villa in Metro City. I don\'t want to see my parents, so I want to stay at my own house!"
"Eva? Did you hear yourself? That\'s too much!" Ruth freaked out. She imagined the things Eva have blabbing about; now she started dizzying to count her best friend\'s fortune! It was a lifetime blessing!
"I\'m not finished yet, Ruth. I am keeping the yacht too." Eva smiled at her reflection in the mirror.
Ruth dropped her mouth open. "Is that how incredibly rich your husband is? Why waste time chasing Bryan or sleeping with Vlad if he is?"
"Shush!" Eva cast a glare in her direction. They weren\'t alone in that powder room. "Actually, I intend to agree to my nominal husband\'s request of discussing our divorce in New York because he\'s also invited to this party. If he\'s here, he will see me with Vlad! I have my reasons for accepting Vlad\'s invitation as his date. So, it shouldn\'t compromise that."
It seems Eva has too many tricks under her sleeves! Ruth finds it disturbing.
"Hold up, girl! Are you crazy? Isn\'t Bryan the VP of Davies Group? Then you\'re entangled with Vlad, not to mention your husband. Does Bryan even know you are married? It\'s been two years!"
"That\'s why keep your mouth shut!" Eva warned her best friend. Afterward, she smiled at Ruth and said, "How about this… I\'ll give you five hundred thousand US dollars. Do you want it?"
"Deal! Don\'t take back your words; you\'re giving me some of your fortunes!" Ruth has an enormous smile across her face. "And I will live with you in your house!"
"Sure. As long as you tell nothing to Bryan," Eva beamed. "Oh, by the way, after my husband purchases the penthouse, Bryan should know nothing about it. So we must keep our current apartment."
"Okay. I understand. I promised I wouldn\'t mention anything to Bryan about anything. You can trust me!" Ruth didn\'t hide her excitement, but then she calmed down after realizing something. It isn\'t happening yet, and everything is vague.
"Is your husband even willing to grant you these conditions? We are talking US dollars here, Eva! Can he afford that?" Ruth queried further.
"Of course, he is! He owns multiple buildings rented by those big fish globally. And he has apartments throughout P Country; it\'s not just in Metro City. He built condos in every larger city in the country. And his yacht business earned well. He is ranked number one boat builder in all of Asia now. He is super rich, yes!"
"Your husband sounds great. He\'s also handsome! Why didn\'t you chase him instead? You\'ll live like a queen!" Ruth has been ecstatic, but Eva only snorts at her enthusiasm.
"Do you know why I want him to compensate me that much? It would be his payment for me from facing such humiliation!"
It confused Ruth. She\'s waiting for Eva to continue.
"He\'s using me to cover up his true sexual orientation, you know…." Eva first reapplied a red lipstick on her lips before she went on. She scanned her reflection in the mirror, then smiled to herself.
"I\'ve known him since we were little. He\'s older than me by a few years, but I know what others are saying. He is gay!"
Ruth raised an eyebrow at the fact she heard. "Is that even true? How can you be so sure?"
"He never had a girlfriend since birth! And they were saying; he sleeps no one with yet! Countless women attempt to climb his bed, but none of them he touched! And when he goes sailing? His company is all boys! What would you think about that? No women on the yacht? Isn\'t that suspicious enough?"
"Eh? But he is so handsome! I can\'t believe that he is gay!" Ruth already meets Eva\'s nominal husband the reason she could not believe Eva\'s claimed.
"That\'s very true, Ruth. I tried it for myself. I attempt to seduce him, but you know? We\'re having just dinner, but he didn\'t even look at me! He\'s too cold and formal! The dinner just lasted thirty minutes, and he spent time with his male friends instead! Who knows what they were doing? That is why, even though his mom bugged me to go back to Metro City, I\'m not interested. What is the use of having a husband if he is not interested in you? My s*x life is in vain as he only prefers men!" Eva\'s litany.
"Then why don\'t you divorce him so soon?" Shocked at everything she heard, but this question is hanging there. She gapes at Eva.
Eva meets Ruth\'s confusing gaze. She beamed, then strides toward her best friend, extending her arms to hold both of her shoulders.
"My dear, Ruth. You aren\'t looking at the big picture. Clearly, my nominal husband is way richer than Bryan. He didn\'t give me any terms and conditions when we agreed to this arranged marriage so I can be with anyone I want."
"How about Bryan? Is it because he lost his inheritance that\'s why you delayed your divorce?"
"I love Bryan very much. But think practically, Ruth."
"He is VP of Davies Group. He\'s earning great as well, right?"
"Yeah. But he is always cold to me. He\'s not interested in f**king me anymore."
"And that\'s why you hook up with Vlad?" Ruth asked curiously. To be honest, she was nervous about what Eva\'s doing.
"He needs me, and I need him. Why not? He has money and power. It should be Win-Win, Ruth." said Eva. She then walked, headed to the door.
Hailee narrowed her gaze. Eva is really something; she is a shame to women! Disgusts crawled through her body, listening to everything Eva had confessed.
How dare she gossips about her nominal husband and backlash about Bryan? How if it was someone who heard that? Eva mentioned the Davies Group! And there\'s no other Bryan, her VP!
She didn\'t see Eva\'s face, but she could picture the proudness in her eyes and the beamed on her lips!
She didn\'t know who her husband was, but her sympathy was for him already. Eva is pure evil, a gold digger, and a social climber!
She keeps reminding herself not to waste her time for Eva, but she hates her extremely now!
She doesn\'t understand, but she wants to comfort whoever is Eva\'s husband.
\'Who is he?\' she asked herself.
She wishes to meet him and reveal Eva\'s doing so that she receives not even one dime! Eva deserves nothing!
Hailee contemplated; then, an idea came to her. \'He\'s also living in P Country like Vincent Shen!\'
And if she is not mistaken, Eva mentioned he is also constructing buildings and apartments. What a coincidence, isn\'t it?
\'Vincent Shen probably knows him!\'
Hailee wondered if he\'s good as Vincent. She will not mind hiring him as well if his achievements are also outstanding.
Eva also mentioned he was building boats. Then, he was possibly Vincent Shen\'s business partner.
\'One stone, two birds.\' Hailey felt delighted at thinking of this quote.
Now that the room is silent, it is time for her to get out. She glanced at her female bodyguard, who smiled awkwardly. She heard the gossip loud and clear.
"What do you want me to do, Miss?"
"Nothing… Just let it be."
"She has a thick face!" Rose also didn\'t like how Eva insults her nominal husband. It was apparent the guy is nice and generous. He allowed Eva to date other men, but this woman isn\'t satisfied!
"I know. But don\'t mention this to anyone, especially to Pitt."
"But, Miss…"
"Don\'t worry. I already have a plan," she smiled at Rose.
Hailey fixed her dress, then prepared to leave. She picked up her phone and looked at it for a moment. It\'s a good thing that she recorded everything Eva had said about her nominal husband. And even she lies to Bryan!
\'Just wait, Eva Lan. I\'ll give you hell when the time is perfect.\'
