Before the man could answer, Rose come from behind
“Why don’t you start for home? It’s already late, dear.”
Eva nods at the rose the same moment she spotted Steve near the exit. Again, she rushed to him without bothering about the stranger man
But someone was in shock. Rose reached near that man. He just gave a deep look at her
“My! How did I have the honor to meet you?” The man gave a comment to Rose, on which rose scrunched her nose
“And what evil deeds I did to behold your face, Liam.”
That man was none other than Liam Hudson, Harry’s father and the owner of the Hudson group of companies, which are rivals to Smiths in business.
Liam chuckled at her response.
“Can you please tell me who that girl was, as I think she resembles...”
“Your sister, yes, you are right. She is Eva Johnson, daughter of Michael and Lisa, your not-so-fortunate sister. Well, for your information, she is staying with me and I promised her father that shebe safe.”
“Why are you telling me this rubbish? I am not interested in her life. She is as worthless to me as her mother was.”
Rose gritted her teeth in anger but before she could lash out at Liam, William interfered as he saw his wife talking to Liam and he knew how much Rose loathed Liam Hudson
“It’s nice that she means nothing to you. So just stay away from her and tell your son the same thing... Rose, come dear, we are getting late. “
William held rose’s hand and exited the hotel
When Rose was busy with Liam in an argument, Eva was busy in conversation with Steve.
Why did you do that?"
“What did I do now? You know I am already putting up with some shocking news and now you are also blaming me for something. Damn it, at least give some time to my little heart to bear so much.”
Eva got more irritated. “Don’t act; tell me why you notified Stephen about my thoughts. That I assume him to be in arelationship with Richard. Didn’t I request you not to mention this to anyone?"
“Oh yes, Eva, dear, do you have the slightest idea how dangerous my brother could be? I didn’t want to say a word but my brother threatened me, and he never intended empty threats.”
“So you mean he blackmailed you?"
“Yes, sort of."
Eva wanted to ask more, but a sudden tug in her hand got her interest. It was Stephen who was holding her arm
“What are you doing?”
“Just taking my date back home with me.
Good night, Steve.”
Announcing this, Stephen started dragging Eva with him
“But I don’t want to go with you? “Eva took the courage and whispered her opinion.
“I don’t care for that; at least thisas the media is still present here and I don’t want to give them spicy news about my relationship."
Eva didn’t want that either, so she quietly got settled in the car.
All the way Stephen kept yelling on the phone to his secretary about some deal. His stern voice and tone made Eva more nervous. She was cursing her faith because she agreed to attend this party.
