LittleNovelChapter 163
Evelyn was taken aback. She hadn't expected the most significant event of the evening to be the announcement
of Blake's and Jessica's engagement.
No wonder Jessica had asked her to stay until the end. Was it because she considered Evelyn family, like a sister,
and wanted her to bless them?
Blake stood on stage, his gaze sweeping over the crowd from above. In the flickering lights, he caught sight of
Evelyn sitting in a dim corner of the second
row.
She was probably surprised, her cool, composed expression showing a brief moment of shock. However, it only
lasted an instant before it quickly faded into nothing.
Blake's eyes locked onto hers, emotions swirling in his dark gaze.
Evelyn met his stare without any reaction.
He eventually broke into a playful, carefree smile. Yanking Jessica into his embrace, Blake explained, "Tonight's
charity gala is also a way for Jessica andto give back to everyone. Once we have planned the engagement
party, we'll be sure to send out invites to everyone."
Jessica blushed, her body melting like jelly as she leaned into Blake's embrace.
Blake, however, kept his gaze fixed on Evelyn. He had hoped to see shock, sorrow, or resentment on Evelyn's
face, but she remained completely calm.
Quietly furrowing his brow, he realized that Evelyn shouldn't have been so indifferent. From what he knew about
her, she should have been in tears, ready to lash out by now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCould it be that she truly didn't care?
He quickly dismissed that thought.
He had known Evelyn for over a decade. He knew her well-she could move on from most things, but with him,
there was a lingering hurt deep inside that she just couldn't get past or forget.
She cared about him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Harrison! Looks like you've won the jackpot!" someone called out.
"Yeah, today's really been a day of good news for you, Mr. Clark. Having someone as great as Mr. Harrison as a
son-in-law is quite the catch!"
Matthew, in high spirits, responded to the congratulatory remarks.
Blake shifted his gaze away from Evelyn, lowering his head to pinch Jessica's waist, offering a lazy smile.
"Thanks, everyone! You'd better show up for the wedding banquet when the tcomes."
Evelyn lowered her gaze, feeling that this lively, bustling scene wasn't quite right for her. There was a strong
sense of detachment.
Justine, watching her carefully, noticed her lack of reaction. Letting out a quiet sigh of relief, she commented, "I
swear, men can't be trusted! What are they even worth? Evie, you should just focus on being your best self!"
They had known each other for years. Justine had almost witnessed it all. If Blake hadn't ended up in prison all
those years ago, things might have turned out differently, especially...
"Have you ever told Blake that you once took the knife for him?" Justine glanced at Evelyn's abdomen,
remembering the sight of her in the hospital back then. "Blake has been bullying you ever since he got out, but
you who saved his life. How could he be so heartless..."
Evelyn gently squeezed her hand, signaling to Justine to stop.
Things were dire then, and Blake's reckless nature had made him countless enemies before his imprisonment,
which led to the incident.
Even now, that scar remained on her.
"Mr. Harrison and Ms. Clark are about to get engaged, but what about Mr. Grant and Ms. Moore? When will we get
to celebrate their good news?"
A sudden voice interrupted, drawing Evelyn's attention. Lucas was now the center of attention.
