Chapter 40 Encountering Lucas here , I was quite surprised , but still politely smiled , Mr. Reed , youve entered the wrong place . This is the womens restroom , while the mens restroom is next door . I dont care how many men you want to deceive , but you cant take Eva with you ! Eva is my daughter , immediately return her to me ! He spoke to me in a commanding tone . Since you said she was your daughter , do you know if Eva was born in the morning or the afternoon ? Was it cloudy or sunny ? What happened when she was born ? Lucas was choked and unable to answer . After marrying me , he spent more time at his company , and two thirds of the year he was on business trips . The only thing he remembered was that when he returned home from a business trip , I had given birth . I shook my head bitterly . I had once read the introduction of a novel about a woman who went through pregnancy alone , went to prenatal check ups alone , and gave birth alone . At that time , I felt great sympathy for the main character in the book . It wasnt until I bled heavily during childbirth and had to sign a paper taking full responsibility for the newborn baby girl that I realized what was written in the book was only a tenth of what I had endured ! Since I called him while I was in an emergency and he didnt answer , I decided to deliberately keep this matter a secret . But what if I didnt hide it ? If I spoke out , I would probably only be mocked and ridiculed by him , thinking that everything was my scheming to ruin his relationship with Cathy . To hide the sorrow in my heart , I smiled , lifted my head to face Lucas , and said , Mr. Reed , rest assured , Eva is my treasure , and naturally , I wont let her be like me , making people feel degraded . I will give her a happy life . After speaking , I swiftly passed by him and walked out . Chapter 40 The following days were much calmer . After Thomass return , he began live broadcasting every day . He had a special charisma and was also a champion figure skater . He had a large number of fans , and Starlight Media collected a substantial amount of money every day . Even Eva became Thomass number one fan , running after him every day . John became jealous to the point of trying his best to win Evas favor . Every day , Eva followed the two handsome men , and she couldnt imagine being away from them . Regardless of Eva , I had a lot of free time , and early in the morning , Fredrica pulled me out to go shopping . Fredrica was famous in the live broadcasts . As soon as she entered , she was recognized , and the staff immediately surrounded her , wishing they could bring all the clothes in the store for her to try on . I was accustomed to being modest and looked at everyone crowding around Fredrica . I quietly left and entered another store . I quickly chose a pink dress . The dress had a simple structure and a neat silhouette but was very beautiful . Please wrap it up for me , please , I said . The staff immediately greeted me and folded the dress . Hey , isnt this the arrogant Evelyn ? Suddenly , a sharp and mocking voice echoed from outside . I turned back and saw a woman entering with a few people . The woman deliberately provoked me , her lips curled up , and a look of contempt and disdain appeared in her eyes . This person was none other than my former sister in law , Diana . Diana always looked down on me . When she saw the dress in the hands of the staff , she snorted , Do you even know who you are to dare to come to a place like this to buy clothes ? Do you know how expensive the clothes here are ? How expensive can it be ? I said coldly . It was only tens of thousands of dollars , which meant nothing to me . Yo , you have a big attitude . Im sure you knew I would come here , so you can wait for me at this place , Chapter 40 Do you want me to compensate you , and while were at it , you can pretend to cry pitifully , so I can take you back to the Reed family ! Dianas tone was very firm . In her view , there was only one possibility : I had left the house without a job and had no means to buy clothes here . Kneel down and beg me, and maybe Ill consider it . She crossed her arms and sat in front of me , a hint of wickedness in her eyes . Diana never thought that I would come back , but she was used to bullying me , and she would feel uncomfortable if she didnt bully me when we met ! Diana believed that I would allow myself to be humiliated to return to the Reed family , and she was proud of herself ! I saw through her petty thoughts , so I just smiled . I had been bullied by Diana before , but now that I was divorced , how could I pay attention to Dianas antics ? Walking straight to the front , I went to the counter . Check out ! I ignored her ! Diana became furious to the point of almost exploding . She rudely snatched the clothes from the staff and threw them onto the counter . I want this dress ! Ive already taken this one . I reminded coldly . Diana was too arrogant . So what ? Im a Reed family member . Dont even talk about a piece of clothing . Even if I bought the entire store , it wouldnt be a problem ! Staff , remove this woman immediately ! She arrogantly ordered . What an arrogant woman . Why didnt you buy this store first and then give such orders ? Before I could speak , Fredricas voice reached us . She lazily walked over , carrying a small bag , her eyes full of disdain for Diana . Dianas words were just empty talk , but now Fredrica was backing me … She immediately blushed . Chapter 40 This is my familys matter . Miss Fredrica , its best if you stay out of it . Fredrica sneered , her nose twitching . She is the only one in her family . Who are you to call yourself her family ? Moreover , she is my best friend and her business is mine ! Diana looked at Fredrica with suspicion . She had always believed that Fredrica was just seeing the injustice , but it turned out that she and I were good friends … How could this be ? I was the daughter of a poor shoemaker . How could I know Fredrica ? Ill pay double for this store . Ill buy it . Fredrica didnt care what Diana was thinking . She walked up to the counter and threw down a black card , speaking with authenticity . Everyone: … Double the price , amounting to tens of millions of dollars . Everyone was so intimidated by Fredricas generosity that they didnt dare say a word . The store may not be for sale , but if Fredrica gives any orders , I can comply . The store manager was a wise person . He had already realized that Fredrica just wanted to provoke Diana . Fredrica nodded in satisfaction , her eyes sharp as she looked at Diana .
