Chapter 287: Chapter 287: From Now On, You’re Free

Evelyn ran out of the company, kicking and punching a tree to vent her frustration.

Every time she thought of Julian having the breakfast that Shannon brought him, it made her want to scream at him.

Even if she did sacrifice herself for the money, why was he so angry?

She was already his wife; was it too much to ask for money?

It’s not like she’s wasting it.

It’s to save her best friend!

And him?

Does everything he does have to be right?

Why can she easily forgive him every time, but he is so difficult to pacify?

Even when... he’s upset, he would accept another woman’s tenderness?

How infuriating!

"Keep being proud then! Be an ice block! No one cares if you act like an iceberg!" Evelyn seethed, "Even if you come back to find me, I won’t pay any attention to you! If I do, I’m a fool!"

Finishing, Evelyn took out her phone and called Cecilia Lynch.

Cecilia was already working, but when she heard her phone ring and saw it was Evelyn, she immediately hid to take the call.

"Cece, where are you? Right now, immediately, I must see you!" Evelyn urged.

"Now?" Cecilia checked the time, "Evelyn, what’s wrong?"

"Just hurry up and tell me!" Evelyn insisted, "I have a surprise for you!"

Cecilia was utterly confused, but once she told Evelyn where she was, Evelyn quickly ended the call.

Standing there, Evelyn looked at the check in her pocket, feeling a bit hesitant.

If Julian wanted to divorce her, and she took his million dollars, would that make her seem awful?

No matter!

She would consider it a loan from him!

Later, she would slowly repay it!

With that thought, she headed towards Cecilia’s location.

Knowing that Evelyn hadn’t eaten breakfast, Cecilia kindly bought her breakfast, suggesting she eat while they talked.

"Cece, there’s something I need you to promise me, you have to listen to me," Evelyn said softly.

"What is it?" Cecilia puzzled, "Evelyn, every time you’re in a hurry to find me, I worry, as if something bad might happen."

"This time it’s something good!" Evelyn revealed a mysterious smile, "Come on, you must first promise to listen to me. Then, I’ll give you a surprise!"

"If it’s something good, why are you afraid I’d refuse?" Cecilia hesitated to agree, "Evelyn, what’s really going on? You should tell me first!"

"Just promise me!" Evelyn raised her voice, "How could I hurt you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Cecilia could only nod.

Evelyn’s lips curved into a satisfied smile, took out the check from her pocket, handed it to Cecilia, and said, "Here, take this million to pay off Julian, and from now on, you’re free!"

"Oh my God!" Cecilia’s eyes widened, "Where did you get so much money?"

Seeing Julian’s name on the check, Cecilia became even more anxious.

"Did you get it from your uncle? That’s not okay! Evelyn, I don’t want you involved in any money dealings because of me!" Cecilia exclaimed.

"Stop overthinking it." Evelyn shook her head, "This is my uncle’s pocket money for me, and he insisted I accept it. Anyway, I don’t need the money now, so it’s yours!"

"Pocket money?" Cecilia was stunned.

Do wealthy people give out pocket money this extravagantly?

"Exactly!" Evelyn lowered her head to eat breakfast, hiding the hint of guilt on her face, "In any case, use this money to settle things with Julian and then live the life you want to live."
