If she had encountered something like this in the past, Evelyn would definitely call Martin for help immediately, but now...

Martin was so clever. She couldn’t let him see through anything.

Hmm...

Thinking of Theodore taking revenge on her behalf at Clothing World, she had felt her previous performance must have been really bad. Even Wendy knew how to use Theodore as a shield. Her presence felt so diminished that nobody even believed that she was Theodore's lawfully wedded wife.

Although behind closed doors, Theodore would find various excuses to take advantage of me, he had always played the role of being a good husband really well in public.

"When it was time to fight for myself, why couldn't I grab that opportunity nicely? What if Fred had seen through it? How am I going to explain to Theodore?" Thinking of this, Evelyn's depression turned into nervousness. Beside her, Wendy was praising Theodore non-stop, making Evelyn smile bitterly.

"Mrs. Kingsley, what do you think of it?"

The worker's sweet voice pulled Evelyn's thoughts back to reality. Before Evelyn could say something, Wendy exclaimed in an astonished tone, "Wow, Evelyn, I didn't know your figure is so good! Fine feathers make fine birds! Hey, you will look even better with more makeup on."

After doing her face at OnlyOne, they had applied some lip gloss according to Evelyn's request. Other than that, she didn't have any other makeup. She had never put on makeup before and wasn't used to applying too much stuff on her face.

The worker smiled and praised, "Mrs. Kingsley looks better without makeup. She is the definition of natural beauty."

Wendy raised the thumb up. "You really know how to talk. Even the dress suits her very well. Mr. Kingsley will surely praise you when you go out."

The worker smiled. "I'm not the one who picked the dress. It was Mr. Kingsley who knows Mrs. Kingsley too well."

"Oh? This dress was picked by Young Master Kingsley?" Wendy's eyes widened and were filled with envy.

"We picked the dress according to Mr. Kingsley's request. Not only the color and the style suit Mrs. Kingsley, even the size fits her very well."

Hearing the subtle implications in the worker's words, Evelyn suddenly remembered the fighting scene with him last night. She couldn't help but blush as she felt flustered.

At this moment, Wendy nudged Evelyn with her shoulder and winked an eye. Then, she faked a cough and said, "The size measured by Young Master Kingsley is definitely accurate."

"No, actually that..."

"Stop explaining, go out and let Young Master Kingsley take a look." Wendy grabbed her and pushed her out.

Outside the changing room, Theodore was making a phone call. At the corner of his eyes, he saw Evelyn coming out and glanced casually, but he could no longer move his sight away from her.

When he was avenging her in the Clothing World, he hadn't looked closely at her.

He didn't know that his silly woman would look so beautiful in a dress.

"Does-Does it look bad?" Evelyn was very unconfident as she rarely wore dresses. At this time, she was uncomfortable by his gaze and muttered timidly, "I can change it back."

"Don't." Theodore hung up on his phone and then pulled her. "You look very nice, that's it."

"I told you it looks good, didn't I? Young Master Kingsley had personally picked the dress. How would he be wrong?" Wendy had also changed into her dress and jumped out happily.

Theodore nodded slightly toward Wendy and then held Evelyn's hand naturally, asking softly, "Can we leave now?"

Evelyn wanted to withdraw her hand, but she felt her hand was being tightly held. When she saw Wendy was looking at herself and smiling, she was a little embarrassed. But she didn't explain anything and followed Theodore's steps with a flushed face.

At six thirty in the evening, all of them arrived on the third floor of the Gloria Hotel on time.

After they entered, Evelyn realized it wasn't a small banquet hall. In the center stood a grand birthday cake, while drinks and an array of desserts lined one wall. At this time, a lot of guests had arrived in the banquet hall and were gathered talking together in small groups.

"My dear sister-in-law, you are finally here! I've been waiting for you forever! Wow, you look very pretty today! Even a fairy is not half as pretty as you! Come, give me a hug!" Zion opened his arms wide at Evelyn, ready to jump on her.

Before he could even approach her, Theodore already pushed him away rudely.

"Bro, it's my birthday today. Can't I hug Evelyn for a while? You're so petty. I hate you." Zion pouted his mouth and was twisting his body coyly all over Theodore.

Wendy glared at Zion as if she was looking at something strange while she whispered into Evelyn's ears, "Isn't this sissy the respectable Vice CEO of the SkyForge Group you told me about?"

Evelyn laughed and said, "He's just playing around."

"Really?"

While Wendy was still doubting, Zion returned to his usual self. He clapped his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down. "My Brother and his wife had arrived. Now I announce, today's birthday party will start in advance. Music!"

The music started along with waves of shouts and cheers.

After the birthday ceremony, everyone was dancing together on the dance floor. Evelyn was pulled aside by Theodore.

Feeling uneasy, she tried to fight him off by excusing herself for being hungry. She lowered her head and took some food to eat.

"Why didn't you call me?" Theodore's voice rang in her ears, it sounded like he was blaming her.

Knowing what he was referring to, Evelyn lowered her tone and explained, "My phone was in my bag and my bag was left in the car."

"Doesn't Wendy have a phone?"

"I don't remember your number..."

"You! Well, go back and write my number down for a thousand times when you return tonight."

Since there were people looking at them the whole time, Theodore had a gentle smile on his face when he was with Evelyn. However, that didn't mean that he wasn't angry, just like when he was in the Clothing World before.

"I'll go back and memorize your phone number. Can I skip writing them down?"

"Fine."

Before Evelyn could have the smile back on her face, Theodore added another sentence. "Let your parents write them then."

"Fine, I'll copy it down. Isn't it just a thousand times?" Evelyn pouted her lips with a gloomy face.

"Come, have a bit of the cake." Theodore smiled and fed her the cake.

She could see the threat in his eyes. Evelyn gritted her teeth and tried to work together with him for putting on a show.

After seeing her finish eating the cake, Theodore put down the plate and told her softly, "Sit down first. I'll come over and accompany you after I talk to Zion."

When he finished talking, he caressed her cheek and smiled slightly before leaving. Evelyn was relieved. After all, she wasn't a professional actress and acting was very tiring to her.

There were people muttering by the side. "I didn't expect her to be the Young Master Kingsley's wife. Moreover, it is surprising that Young Master Kingsley has such a gentle side."

"Yes. He almost spoils his wife rotten; it’s so enviable."

"Hey, do you think Miss Dean has fainted from crying so much in the toilet?"

"That must be it. After waiting for so many years, she suddenly had someone taken her man. It would be strange if she didn't cry herself to unconsciousness."

When the murmurs stopped, Evelyn subconsciously raised her head and saw Mark walking toward her.

"Mistress, there are too many people here, and too many people means gossip. Don't take it to heart if you've heard anything."

"I understand." Evelyn forced a smile.

Without considering the fact that she and Theodore were a fake couple, even if they were an actual couple, she still wouldn't take those busybodies into account. But to tell the truth, she enjoyed the feeling of being spoilt by him in public more and more, although she knew everything was just an act.

"Evelyn, stop deluding yourself." She quickly reminded herself. Suddenly thinking about the look Theodore gave Mark when they were at the Clothing World, she put all her thoughts aside and changed the topic. "Now that the owner of the Clothing World had already learnt her lesson, would Theo still refuse to let them go?"

"Don't worry, Mistress. The boss has his own plans."

"I believe they will learn from their mistake. We have to spare others when we can." As Mark nodded, she then asked again, "Well, didn't Theodore say he had something to do prior, so you will come over to fetch me at six thirty? Why have you come before six o'clock?"

"When I picked up the boss, he indeed had a meeting to run. However, the boss found your bag in the car with your phone and card in it. He immediately asked me to rush to Heavenly Shopping Center. Luckily, we made it on time, or else we would have let Fred take the limelight." Probably realizing his last sentence was inappropriate, Mark made a sound like he just ate dried chilies, and immediately kept his mouth shut.

Evelyn smiled and didn't say anything.

To be honest, her impression toward Fred had always been good. Although, until now she still didn't understand why Fred had introduced himself as 'Fred' during the first time they met without his surname, she felt that this wasn't important.

If it wasn't because the Kingsley family and the Carter family were company rivals, plus her current status now being Theodore's wife, she could have been friends with Fred. Of course, the most important reason was that Fred was the best friend of her most trusted Martin.

"Evelyn, why are you sitting in the corner? Come and dance with us." Wendy, who was sweating all over, ran over and hugged her with a look filled with excitement.

"I'm a little tired. I want to rest." Evelyn wanted to say that she didn't like the crowd, but she didn't want to ruin Wendy's fun.

"Alright, I'll accompany you to rest." Wendy also sat down, reached out her hand to reach a slice of cake. However, she immediately withdrew her hand and sat down politely.

Evelyn turned her head suspiciously and saw Zion walking over. When she finally understood Wendy's actions, she couldn't help but chuckle quietly.

"Hi, my most beautiful, cute and generous sister-in-law, are you enjoying yourself tonight?" When he saw Theodore wasn't there, Zion blushed and sat close to Evelyn.

"Yes, I'm." It wasn't the first time Evelyn interacted with him. Knowing his playful nature, she didn't mind and asked with a smile, "By the way, why didn't Chief Finley come?"

"He had gone to accompany his Beauty Grace. He's the typical kind of a guy who values love over friendship. Stop talking about him, let's have a toast."

"Okay." Evelyn introduced Wendy and said, "Wendy, let's drink a toast to the birthday man!"

"Sure." Wendy quickly raised her glass.

"Hold on, hold on, what do you mean by birthday man? It's like calling me an old uncle. Evelyn, I prefer you calling me Zion."

Evelyn smiled and said, "Sure, Wendy, let's give Zion a toast."

After she finished talking, the three of them clinked their glasses.

When Wendy drank all the wine in her glass, Evelyn was afraid that she drank too much and quickly urged, "Drink slowly."

However, Wendy didn't take it seriously and said excitedly, "It's nothing. It's rare to be able to enjoy myself like today. Hey, today is a good day indeed. From the moment I opened my eyes to start the day until now, good things have happened one after another."

Remembering the incident of Aston's, Evelyn couldn't help but tease, "Don't be so happy. Or else Aston will firmly believe that you are the one who is involved in breaking his leg."

Zion was shocked. "You know Aston too?"

"I don't know this person, but I've heard of his doings. Moreover, I'm the forensic doctor in his mother's case."

"Oh, that person is a scum. He is considered lucky for breaking only his right leg."

"Right leg?" Evelyn suddenly recalled what Eric mentioned today: Aston was blackmailing SkyForge Group using Elaine's case. Suddenly, she noticed something was wrong and stood up abruptly, asking in a surprise tone, "How did you know he broke his right leg? Are you the one who...?"
