Chapter 125 Fortune Turns on Its Head
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Jepson had conducted all sorts of probing tests on Evan and Suzy in the production team, but he hadn’t been able to get a definite answer.
Until this day, Evan had planned to return to Somo City early in the morning.
Suzy woke up early. Evan had been behaving weirdly these past few days.
When he was on set, he would deliberately keep his distance from her.
After returning to the hotel, he went back to his room and didn’t return to her room until midnight.
Suzy also asked him the reason, but Evan told him, “I still have work to do, so I won’t disturb your sleep.”
Obviously, this man was keeping a distance from her.
However, Suzy did not ask further. The moment she changed her clothes, the hotel’s doorbell rang.
Suzy knit his brows slightly. Who was it this early in the morning? When he opened the door, he saw Jepson standing outside.
“Mr. Sullivan, do you need something?” Suzy asked questioningly.
“I’m sorry, Suzy. The toilet bowl in my room is broken. Can I borrow your bathroom?”
“Huh?”
Without waiting for Suzy’s reply, Jepson rushed into the room with an anxious expression. The toilet bowl in his room was really broken, and Suzy’s room was on the same floor as his. He was anxious to go to the toilet. At this moment, Jepson could not care less.
However, when he opened the bathroom door, he was stunned.
“Mr. Sullivan…”
Suzy knew that Evan was washing up inside, but at this moment, she couldn’t stop him even if she wanted to.
The atmosphere in the room was awkward and weird.
A few minutes later, Jepson walked out of the bathroom with a strange smile on his face. “Why is Mr. Hughes in Suzy’s room?”
“We…” Suzy looked at Evan.
Evan looked very calm and said slowly, “Go ahead and shoot. I’ll explain.”
“… Fine.”
Suzy didn’t care. He could explain however he wanted.
After Suzy left and the door closed, Jepson exploded. “Evan, don’t give me an excuse, don’t tell me you’re also here to borrow the bathroom? I saw everything in your trash can!”
Over the past three days, Jepson had been probing Suzy with all kinds of methods, but he hadn’t been able to get an answer. On the contrary, the relationship between Sean and Suzy seemed to be even closer. He even began to suspect that his grandfather was overthinking things.
However, he didn’t expect to see this scene today.
“I do like Suzy.” Evan no longer denied their relationship.
Jepson immediately became angry.
“I’ll tell grandpa right away that you and my cousin will immediately break off the engagement!”
With that, Jepson took out his phone.
There was a flash of sharpness in Evan’s eyes. He wanted to cancel the engagement, but now if he told Mr. Old Smith that he wanted violated their contract, the Hughes Group had to give it up to the Smith family.
Just as Jepson was about to make a call, Evan didn’t panic at all. He said unhurriedly, “Cherry is coming to see Suzy today.”
Jepson was immediately startled when he heard this.
“Who is it? Cherry? Really?”
Evan nodded.
Jepson’s eyes lit up. He had liked Cherry for a long time.
“Are you serious? How do you know?”
Evan sat down on the sofa, a faint smile on his handsome face.
“Cherry is my sister.”
Jepson:!!!
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! One of you is surnamed Hughes and the other is surnamed Sherman, how could she be your sister? Besides, my dad clearly told me that you were an orphan, and Cherry…”
“You will know when you ask Cherry.” He changed the topic. “However, if you call him, I can guarantee that you and Cherry will never meet again.”
Jepson: .
He had liked Cherry for a long time. A long time ago, Jepson cooperated with Cherry in a movie. Although the little girl was a little unruly, Jepson liked her exactly because of this.
After the movie cooperation, Jepson confessed his love to Cherry, but Cherry refused. However, he still did not give up.
Now, hearing that Cherry was Evan’s sister, how could Jepson not be surprised? Evan even threatened her…
“Evan, you’re despicable!”
“Mr. Smith, your sister and I will break off our engagement sooner or later. At present, if you help me hide it, I can also help you pursue your first love. What do you think?”
“Since the marriage will be canceled sooner or later, why not cancel it now? Could it be that you have dirt on my grandfather?” Jepson asked suspiciously.
Evan’s eyes flickered slightly. “No, I just don’t want to hurt your grandpa’s kindness. I want to wait until I find Wendy.”
Jepson came to a sudden understanding and nodded.
Every dog has its day. It was hard to say whose brother-in-law he was. After some careful consideration, Jepson agreed to Evan’s request.
“I promise you I won’t tell grandpa about your relationship with Suzy. However, you have to make it clear that you will help me pursue Cherry.”
Evan looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. “Sure, but you can’t betray your feelings.”
“That’s a must. Don’t worry. I’ll treat her very well.”
“Mhm. Also, you can’t tell Suzy about my engagement with Wendy.”
Jepson, “Fine.”
At present, Jepson would be dealt with by his sister, and Evan was not in a hurry to return to Somo City. He planned to stay for two more days.
In the afternoon, Cherry arrived at the production team and brought a lot of good food and drinks. Suzy called everyone to stop working and rest for a while, chatting with Cherry in the lounge.
“Suzy, you’re so amazing. I didn’t expect that movie to be so popular. What other dramas are you going to introduce to me in the future?”
“Alright.” Suzy smiled.
“And me, you can tell me if you lack a male lead,” Jepson immediately said.
Suzy stared at the two suspiciously. Tsk tsk, something’s not right!
Cherry looked at Jepson. Her expression was somewhat evasive, but she didn’t say anything.
After chatting for a long time, the three of them went to shoot, and there was only Cherry and Evan in the lounge.
Cherry asked doubtfully, “Evan, didn’t you forbid me from meeting Jepson? Why did you change your mind? Why did you tell him about our relationship?”
Evan didn’t explain. Instead, he asked, “Do you like Jepson?”
After hesitating for a while, Cherry nodded guiltily. “A little.”
When they first started filming together, Jepson had taken good care of her and treated her well. It was impossible for Cherry not to be interested in him.
“the Smith family is an influential family. The reason why I opposed it before was because I felt that the Smith family’s background was too strong and I didn’t want you to get involved.”
“In that case, why did you change your attitude now?”
Evan: Because Jepson has something on him…
Of course, he would never tell Cherry that. After two seconds of silence, he said slowly, “There is no reason. Since you like it, you can do whatever you want. I will protect you if anything happens.”
Hearing his words, Cherry cracked a smile.
“Alright. Thank you. However, I will not be together with Jepson immediately. I still have a test for him.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Mm,” Evan replied.
“Oh, that’s right. Don’t just talk about me. How are you and Suzy doing now?”
Evan fell silent.
After Janet’s death, Suzy’s attitude towards him was very indifferent. Coupled with the arrival of Jepson, the two of them didn’t speak much at all.
