"He is busy with lady Olivia!

" Although the words left a sour taste in her mouth, she still nodded with a smile on her face.

When Olivia was insulted in the academy, Evan had thought that she would come to take revenge soon. But even if the days had passed, nothing happened.

She was surprised by the silence, but then she heard the rumor that Leo had complained to Olivia's father and she had been locked in her room to reflect on her mistakes. And the whole family was lying low to not ruin their relationships with Thawyne family.

So, she had thought that the girl would never disturb her again. But who would have imagined that they both would choose the same day for visiting the training area of leo.

She closed her eyes for a second and controlled the strange sensations in her heart. It had nothing to do with whom Leo met and whom he did not! It was his life and she was with him only for a while! He would never accept her as his wife!

Her eyes hardened with that thought but she did not want to close her eyes in front of reality!

Just as she calmed her thoughts and looked serene again she heard a piercing voice,

"Evangeline! What are you doing here?

" Evan frowned and lifted her head when she saw that Olivia was standing in front of her with her both hands on the waist and gritting teeth. Her anger could be seen with the way she was glaring at Evan. she was taken aback with her sudden shrill that she took a step back,

But realising that it would be taken as her weakness, she changed her expressions into cold and arrogant again as she folded her hands and looked at Olivia with disdain.

A sneer formed on the lips of Olivia when she saw him faking the confidence again,

"did you not feel shame at all while following him all the way around when you are no help to him?

Is it me who could support him and his likes with the status I have? What can you do for him?

"

She could not let this chance go and tell Evan that she was nothing but trash! And she was not worth standing with Leo with her no name and no family background. It was she who had helped them when they faced a crisis!

Evan frowned as she did not understand what Olivia was talking about. For her the Thawyne family, no matter if it was Eli or Leo or even Eve, they all were invincible. They were strong pillars on which any one can lean and gain protection.

She could never imagine in her dreams that they would face a crisis too! But she could not, Olivia knew that she was ignorant about the matter.

So, bringing a cold smile on her face, Evan replied,

"Helping each other is nothing but a business transaction. Do you think feelings could be bought with money? Leo's love for me is unconditional and it would not change even if I would never be able to help him.

"

Olivia's heart was pierced by her words. She did not understand why.. Why did Leo love this woman?

"Ha! So you only wanted to be a burden for him all his life? And yet you say that you love him!! If i would have been at your place, then i would have let my lover go and live a blessed life with someone who could be his strength not weakness of him that drag him down too!

"

That was what a marriage should do! A marriage should bring benefits for both parties. If the male's family would not receive any benefit from the wife then she would never be treated well in their house. It was nothing but a transaction as emotions die with time.

" she replied with a cold face as her sneer only broadened when she heard the naive thought of Evan who had not seen the world at all.

But even when she was saying so, a streak of jealousy passed through her eyes. She knew better than anyone else how Leo had been cold to the opposite gender all his life,

She had tried since young to be closer to him. Though he had always tended to her, there was an instance she was never able to cross.

But when they both stand together, their intimacy could be felt from a distance. Or else Leo would not have taken time to take her out personally, much less bring her with him to the training grounds where he never has time to waste!

But why? What right did she have? She was nothing but a pretty vase! A girl of unknown origins could never be q legal wife! She could only be a lover that would be discarded when she would not stay that beautiful.

"Maybe you are right and the world runs that way! But when it comes to Leo, I am sure that he didn't care about money and status. All he cares about is love and his love is me. So, it would be better that you give up before your heart breaks badly and you will not be able to handle it!

" with that she ignored the presence of Olivia completely.

Evan had been called by Leo. Although she did not know the reason, her heart was itching to meet him as soon as possible. Not to forget that his hands were wounded. She did not want to waste her time and energy in arguing with a woman who would not even listen to her.

So, she paid no attention to her squabble and turned to the other side to walk towards Leo's office where she was sitting in the morning.

"Do you really think so? Ha! Then why did he accept my invitation for dinner when I helped him today?

He even asked me if he could bring his family to meet my parents? Every man is the same while you are nothing but an emotional fool!
