Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Belinda Swan’s smile cracked a bit, and she emanated a chilling vibe.
Nia Mitchell, I will let you be arrogant for now. But one day, you’ll realize you haven’t gained anything at all. HMPH! It hurts more once you’ve actually had sothing, right?
Thinking about this, Belinda Swan felt quite at ease.
After hanging up the phone, Nia Mitchell sat there, pouting and sulking.
She truly didn’t understand. How could there be soone like Belinda Swan in this world? She is despicable. She seems to derive pleasure from others’ misfortunes.
At this mont, the phone rang again. It was Evelyn Peary.
"Hello? Evelyn."
Nia Mitchell perked up, a smile spreading across her face.
"Where’s my brother, Sister-in-law?"
On the phone, Evelyn Peary no longer sounded low-spirited. Her mood had improved considerably, and her voice conveyed a sense of ease. These past few days, because of the situation with Yancy Hastings, she had seed to be wilting. Now that she had regained her energy, it was quite a relief.
"He’s in his Office Room. What’s up? Do you need him for sothing?"
If she wanted to reach Maxwell, she could have called him directly. Why was she calling ?
"No, I’m just feeling a little elated. Sister-in-law, could you bring my brother to dinner at Madgar Pavilion tonight? We have so new dishes you could try."
Evelyn Peary’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, feeling positively giddy as she sat in her chair.
"I’m not sure if he’ll co, but I can ask him. So... can you tell what has you so happy?"
Hearing Nia Mitchell ask this, Evelyn Peary’s eyes glead with amusent.
"Well, this morning, Yancy Hastings called out of the blue. He said he agreed to call off our engagent. Then, he hung up abruptly, saying he had to go to training. Since then, his phone has been unreachable."
Although that was the case, his willingness to call off the engagent was definitely earth-shattering. Just recalling his words made her so happy she could hardly sit still.
"He agreed to call off the engagent?"
Nia Mitchell widened her sparkling eyes in surprise, finding it hard to believe.
No, this... this change is too fast, isn’t it? Previously, Yancy Hastings had been so obstinate. He even snubbed Maxwell’s words and insisted on marrying Evelyn Peary. How could he suddenly call and agree to it himself? Has he lost his mind? No, this is so strange.
"Yes, exactly! I find it strange too. But he’s busy with training right now. Once he’s done, he’ll go to the old family residence to call off the engagent."
The ss he created is, of course, his to clean up. Wonderful! This whole ordeal is finally over.
"That’s great. I’ll tell your brother. He’ll definitely be happy for you."
Upon hearing Nia Mitchell say this, Evelyn Peary instantly put on a look of distaste.
"He won’t. When has he ever been happy for ?"
That’s the biggest joke. Maxwell’s world only revolves around himself. Hmm... though maybe now there’s a little space for his sister-in-law. Ugh, never mind that. Anyway, I’m just so happy right now!
"Sister-in-law, rember to co with my brother, okay? I have a surprise for you two."
As Evelyn Peary ntioned the surprise, her face bead, and her eyes sparkled with delight. My brother will surely love this surprise. HAHAHAHA! Then, he’ll realize that his sister is the best, always looking out for him. Speaking of which, if I ask him for a large investnt then, he’d probably be happy to just whip out a checkbook and sign it with a flourish, right?
