Chapter 151
Evelyn didn't know she was photographed, she just took her handbag and left directly. She arrived home by car.
Lucas was already home, and he just finished the meal.
After seeing Evelyn, he asked spontaneously, "How's the discussion about cooperation?"
She was stunned at first and then she said, "Not bad, Mr.Miller has intention to cooperate with us, but considering the company's processes, we are going to invite tenders with other companies, good news is that our odds of winning the bid are very high." Lucas raised eyebrows slightly, without saying a single word.
After finding how he reacted to the words she just said, Evelyn went on speaking, "Um...although our odds are very high, it's necessary to prevent some unexpected accidents, so we must be cautious in case of framing up by others."
After hearing this, a glimmer of gladness flashed through Lucas's deep eyes.
He thought Evelyn was overconfident at first, but the truth was she wasn't, and he knew she was alert now.
"Good, take good care of these things."
Evelyn nodded her head.
At the moment she was going to walk out of the room, Lucas found that there was a look of fatigue on her face, so he stated a conversation out of concern, "Although things are urgent, you should also pay attention to rest, remember, don't be too tired." After that, Lucas turned and went to the study.
She was stunned and stood still, gazing at his receding figure, it took her a few minutes to figure out that he was concerned about her.
Suddenly, she was so thrilled to figure out his intention that she couldn't help smiling sweetly.
It was a quiet night.
The next day Lucas and Evelyn got up together.
While they were having breakfast, Lucy came in under housekeeper Jones's leading.
Then she said, "Young master, young lady, Mrs. Hawk wanted to see both of you, she's in the main house."
After hearing that, Evelyn looked at Lucas subconsciously.
The latter frowned and asked, "What dose she want to tell us?"
Lucy insisted, "Young master, once you went to the main house, you will know."
Although Lucas was confused, he nodded and said, "Okay, tell her we will be there after breakfast."
Lucy nodded her head and then left the room.
Not for a while, Lucas and Evelyn finished breakfast, then they walked toward the main house directly.
As soon as they entered the living room, they found that there were not only Sophia but also Vivian, Devin and Yody.
The expressions of Yody and Devin were very serious, while Vivian had a gloating look and was looking at Evelyn with taunt in her eyes.
Seeing this, Evelyn and Lucas, both frowned slightly.
"Mom, may I ask if you have anything to tell us?" Evelyn said politely.
At the same time, she was trying to restrain her anxiety.
How could she have the nerve to ask about it? Sophia thought to herself, she felt sick just thought about it.
"How could you have the nerve to ask me? Shame on you!"
Sophia pointed at Evelyn, yelling loudly.
The sudden abuse bewildered Evelyn, made her angry.
Given Sophia was the elders, she tried her best to restrain the anger and asked, "May I ask if I did something wrong to make you angry? Why did you say those insulting words to me?"
Sophia found out that she still didn't admit it, so she threw the photos put on the table toward her face directly with extreme anger.
"You have no idea about what you have done? How dare you ask me about it?"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Then she pointed to the photos scattered on the ground and shouted angrily, "I know you are cheeky, and what you have done before is shameless, Lucas once told me that you won't do it again, but look at those photos, seriously? Cheating on Lucas? Disgrace our Hawk family." Evelyn looked at those photos, totally stunned.
The photos on the ground shows her entering Aaron's room yesterday to pick up her handbag.
What's worse was at that time, Aaron was wearing bathrobe, if Evelyn didn't know the truth of these photos, she will thought exactly like Sophia, but the truth was she knew it.
Lucas saw those photos, frowned, asking Evelyn with confusion in his eyes by staring at hers.
Evelyn pressed her lips tightly, and she already figured everything out.
Obviously, someone deliberately framed her by taking such photos.
But she didn't respond to Lucas immediately, instead, she asked Sophia with her lips pressed, "Mom, where did you get those photos?"
As Sophia was about to answer, Vivian answered first, "It's none of your business, you'd better think about how to explain it, there has never been a shameless woman like you in our family, if other people knew about it, they would absolutely laugh at our family." After she had said these words, her eyes were filled with contempt, then she went on speaking, "I remember saying this before, don't marry such an ignorant woman, as she doesn't behave politely, look at what just happened, what she did showed that she is unreliable, she used to cheat on Lucas secretly, but now, cheating on him in a flagrant way? Shame on you! And I couldn't figure out why would Sophia agree to your marriage!"
After hearing this, Sophia retorted, "Vivian, it's not my fault at all, it was our dad, who insisted in their marriage."
What Sophia had said reminded Vivian of something, then she looked at Yody carefully, who looked extremely serious at that time.
Then she said, "Dad, you should know what Nora really is before they got married, she is acting like a slut now and cheating on Lucas, and we can't have such a woman in our family, what if someone else knows about it? We must defend the reputation of our family and mine." Sophia agreed with Vivian, so she repeated, "Dad, Vivian is right, we must defend the reputation, otherwise, all the people in Jingdu will laugh at our family, I mean, they'd better get divorced."
Hearing those words, Yody was unhappy and gloomy.
Evelyn looked at him nervously.
She said, "Grandpa, it's not what it looks like."
She was about to explain, but interrupted by Vivian.
"Enough! Nora, the evidence is certain now, don't try to explain it away, we are not fools."
Evelyn took a glimpse at Vivian with her cold eyes and ignored the words she said, then continue explaining, "Grandpa, believe it or not, it's not what you see, I was with that guy simply because we were talking about cooperation." She told Yody what happened yesterday briefly.
The facial expression of Yody was no longer serious.
Seeing this, Vivian was nervous.
This was a good chance, she thought to herself, and she was determined to drive Evelyn out of the house today.
"Nonsense! Why did he wear bathrobe when you were talking about cooperation? It was obvious that you have slept with him already......"
Vivian wanted to continue slandering, but was interrupted by Lucas.
He said loudly, "Enough!"
He looked at Sophia and Vivian fiercely, who argued with great passion.
And then he said, "Can you just shut up?"
Sophia and Vivian were in a shock, but then they were annoyed.
"What do you mean, Lucas? Why do you have to protect Nora, the shameless woman?"
Vivian stood up and snapped.
Sophia repeated immediately, "I totally agree with Sophia, why do you have to protect her? Why are you so fascinated with her? Aren't you afraid of she will cheat on you again and again?"
