Because I Loved the Wrong Person
Eve sneered inwardly at Shirley's bewildered expression.
Of course, the recording was fake.
Synthesizing voices was a piece of cake for her, and it was one of her proudest skills. Even if she took it to a specialized research facility to investigate the audio composition, they wouldn't be able to find any clues.
It was even easier to deal with a small character like Shirley.
"How could this be? How could this be? No, no, sir, please believe me, I really didn't say anything like that to this slut! "Shirley was completely flustered.
She didn't think that the tables would turn so quickly, not to mention that all the evidence was against her. She looked at Eve again. Eve was severely injured and looked weak and pitiful, but when she looked at her, she didn't miss the pitiful look in her eyes. This b * tch dared to plot against her!
"Slut, what the hell are you doing?" Shirley was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She clenched her fists tightly and said with a sinister expression, "You did all of this on purpose to scheme against me! You did all of this just to scheme against me! "
Eve pressed down on her bleeding arm. She tilted her head slightly and said with an indifferent smile, "Miss Shirley, you've said everything, but I can't help it if you insist on thinking of me as such a sinister and cunning person."
"You've always been this sinister and cunning. You plotted against me!" Shirley was so angry that she stomped her foot. How could this woman be so scheming? She had schemed step by step and plotted step by step just to kick her away from Phillips? Damn it, damn it!
"Slut, I'll kill you!" She had always been the one to bully and plot against others, but this time, she was being played by this woman. How could Shirley swallow this anger? She had completely lost her mind. The only thing she wanted was for Eve to disappear from her sight. She didn't care about anything else.
She pulled out a pair of sharp scissors from her makeup bag and charged toward Eve. She was going to cut this woman's face so that she couldn't seduce anyone else.
Shirley was charging very quickly, but in Eve's eyes, she was slow and sluggish. She was thinking about how to deal with this woman who had been driven mad by her so that Phillips wouldn't find an excuse to punish her. Just as she was about to smack the scissors out of Shirley's hand, someone else beat her to it and smacked the scissors out of her hand.
"Are you done?" Phillips gripped Shirley's wrist and looked down at her with a frosty expression. Shirley's Shirley's cold fury.
A chill ran down Shirley's spine when she heard Tang Wulin's frosty voice. Tang Wulin had always been polite and courteous toward outsiders, but he was now as terrifying as a demon. Her legs gave out from under her, and she could only kneel on the ground as she sobbed, "You've all been tricked … Waah … Your Excellency, that woman came to me first! She didn't love you from the bottom of her heart! Why can't you understand that I'm the only one who truly loves you? Why don't you know anything?
Phillips released Shirley's hand, and she collapsed to the ground and began to bawl her eyes out. Phillips felt a dull pain in his heart as he listened to Shirley's cries. This wasn't the first time he had felt this way ever since he met Eve.
She doesn't love you at all! She doesn't love you!
She has another man in her heart! She has never been happy with you! She has always been thinking about another man!
Shirley's voice reverberated incessantly in his ears, and Phillips' heart began to throb with pain. He turned to look at Eve, who seemed to have been rooted to the spot, and discovered that she had sustained extremely severe injuries. In particular, there was a gunshot wound on her shoulder, from which blood was flowing down her slender arm and down her fingertips, dripping onto the ground. However, she didn't make a single sound, and she didn't even cry out in pain to him.
A hint of forbearance flashed through his eyes. He grabbed Eve's hand and turned to his subordinates. "Take Miss Shirley back to the Earl's residence. From now on, she's not allowed to take a single step into the Elder Council."
Shirley abruptly raised her head, and her eyes widened to their widest extent. She shook her head in disbelief. "N-no, Your Excellency, please listen to me. It's not like that. Please don't send me back, Your Excellency …"
Shirley scrambled to her feet and tried to drag Phillips away. However, she didn't even get a chance to take a few steps before one of Phillips' subordinates stopped her. "Please go back, Miss Shirley."
"Go away!" Shirley glared hatefully at the people who had stopped her. She stared anxiously at Phillips's back as he walked further and further away. She couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears. "Your Excellency, that woman really doesn't love you! She's plotting against you! Please don't believe her, don't believe her … Waaah … Why won't you believe me? Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Phillips! Come back, come back! "
However, Phillips didn't even turn around. He didn't even stop for her as he walked away with Eve in hand.
Shirley cried even harder as she watched his figure disappear around the corner. She collapsed to the ground, and her heart ached so much that it felt like it was going to go numb.
She didn't know why the handsome man who had been so gentlemanly and elegant to her had suddenly become so heartless. She loved him, she truly loved him. She had fallen deeply in love with him from the first time she had seen him. It was because of love that she begged her family to let her live in the Elder Council. It was also because of love that she wanted to get rid of the woman by his side.
"Phillips, come back, come back …"
However, Shirley would never know that her mistake wasn't because she was jealous of Eve, nor was it because she asked someone to assassinate Eve for her own love. Her mistake was that she had fallen in love with a man she couldn't fall in love with. Everything had been decided from the very beginning.

Phillips didn't say a single word along the way. Eve couldn't guess what he was thinking, but she could sense that his aura was different from usual just from the flow of air around them.
This time, she had used Shirley to send a message to Adam, so she shouldn't have been discovered. This man shouldn't have noticed that something was amiss, right?
What Eve feared the most was that Phillips wouldn't say a word. She was sure that he was thinking of something sinister every time this happened. Furthermore, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She was most afraid of him not being able to figure out what he was thinking.
It wasn't until she was pulled back into the room and slammed against the wall that she finally snapped back to reality. Eve was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, he planted a fierce kiss on her lips. His kiss was very intense. Rather than calling it a kiss, it would be more accurate to call it a bite.
The skin on her lips was quickly bitten through, and the taste of blood filled her mouth. He attacked her mouth with such ferocity that even Eve was a little overwhelmed.
Eve cursed him in her heart. She was so severely injured, yet she was still doing such a thing. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have put herself in such a sorry state just to increase her persuasion.
She even shot herself in the shoulder. Although it didn't damage her meridians, the sharp pain wasn't something that a normal person could endure. If it were a normal person, they would've already fainted.
She endured the pain and tried to push Phillips away, but he released her before she could.
