Want a wife.
Phillips had been living a very debauched life these days.
He spent almost every day indulging in debauchery, which was very different from his usual elite appearance. Those who had seen him in the past would definitely feel sorry for him. However, Eve felt that the current Phillips was closer to his true nature.
He was not a decent person to begin with.
He had also received an invitation to the ball on Walman Street. His female companions who had been with him for the past few days were eyeing that spot. If they could go to the ball with this man, it meant that they would get a long-term free meal ticket.
Everyone fought openly and covertly, using all of their abilities to win Phillips's favor.
However, he himself was somewhat absent-minded.
This was because he had completely lost contact with Eve. No matter how many people he sent to search for her, there was no trace of Eve. It was as if she had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth.
This was completely illogical. As far as he knew, Eve did not have any money on her. She did not bring along the forged passport, ID card, and other items that could prove her identity. Furthermore, she did not speak Russian, so it was basically impossible for her to leave the country. Even leaving the city would be extremely difficult.
But he just couldn't find it.
Through this incident, Phillips could only think of one possibility, and that was that Eve had already planned to leave him. She never intended to stay by his side from the very beginning.
Why should he care about that heartless woman?
"Damn it!"
Phillips smashed the cup on the ground.
The women were all shocked by his behavior, but Phillips had smashed at least 20 cups these days, so they were not surprised and still greeted him with polite smiles.
One of the women with a hot body and a charming appearance came up to him. "Sir, there's a ball tonight. Who are you going to bring with you?"
Phillips snatched the wine glass from the woman's hand and drank it in one gulp. He turned his head and lifted the woman's chin. With a wicked smile on his face, he asked, "Do you really want to participate?"
The woman's eyes were filled with tenderness. She blinked and said, "I just want to stay with you for a while longer. Wherever you go, I want to follow."
Her words were quite beautiful. At least men would feel more comfortable after hearing them.
Although they were all lies, Phillips found that sometimes it was better to listen to lies. Why should he care about the truth? Why did he have to be like that woman, who rejected his confession every day?
He wasn't a masochist and wasn't interested in being attacked by others.
The woman in front of him was probably the most popular type in this nightclub. She was also very beautiful, but compared to Eve, she lacked a certain charm.
Eve was born with a hint of charm. In Phillips's eyes, her gaze was naturally seductive. Whenever he looked into her eyes, there would always be a feeling of invitation. Even when she was cold, it was more like she was welcoming him.
From the very beginning, Phillips felt that Eve was a natural succubus who was constantly seducing him. It would definitely be fun to play with this woman.
The result was indeed very exciting, and he was completely dragged into the pit.
He was just playing around and had no intention of getting serious with this woman. But unknowingly, he began to care about her.
When did he start to care?
Was it when he knew that Eve was panting under him, but her heart was filled with Adam?
Or was it when she secretly sent a message to Adam?
Or was it when she knew that love was fruitless, but still rushed over like a moth to a flame?
He couldn't remember at all.
By the time he reacted, he had already become incomparably concerned.
How laughable.
"If you want to go, I'll take you there." Phillips said casually.
The woman was wild with joy. She couldn't believe her ears. He actually agreed so easily. She thought that she would spend a lot of effort to seduce him, but in the end, all she had to do was mention it.
"What's with that expression? You're not willing? "Phillips saw the woman's dazed expression and raised his eyebrows.
The woman immediately came back to her senses and quickly shook her head. "No, no, no, I'm very willing!"
With that, the woman wrapped her arms around Phillips's neck and left a hot kiss on his lips. Her face was flushed. "Sir, you're so nice."
The other women glared at her with jealous eyes, wondering why they didn't muster up the courage to say it. Otherwise, how could the opportunity fall into her lap!
The woman also cast a provocative look at her companions. She was extremely proud.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Phillips hadn't paid attention to these women's names. Since it was a ball, it would be ridiculous if he didn't even remember the name of his female companion.
When the woman heard this, her eyes lit up. "Sir, my name is Diana."
"Oh, Diana."
What an ordinary name.
After Phillips asked for her name, he began to drink by the side. As Diana obtained the right to go to the ball with him, she was quite proud of herself as the empress. She went up to Phillips and obediently poured him a full glass of wine.
If a normal person drank so much wine, they would have been sent to the hospital. However, Phillips was completely fine. When he went out, he didn't look drunk at all. Even Diana, who had experienced many things, was secretly surprised.
"Go and buy some decent clothes."
Phillips couldn't stand Diana's cheap clothes. If his dance partner's clothes were too low-class, it would be embarrassing for him, Phillips.
Diana nodded repeatedly, thinking that she had really hooked up with a rich man.
When she went to buy clothes, Diana didn't care if it was suitable or not. She only chose expensive clothes. In the end, the effect was very bad. Phillips looked at Diana's nondescript appearance and couldn't help but think of the time when he bought clothes for Eve.
That woman was a natural clothes hanger. No matter what clothes she wore, she was beautiful.
"Why am I thinking of her again!"
Phillips realized that he unconsciously thought of Eve again. He was a little annoyed and slammed his fist on the sofa.
Diana had just put on her clothes and walked over. When she saw the clothes, she was frightened again. She thought that she had done something wrong and carefully asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Phillips glanced at her and said coldly, "Can't you choose something that suits you? Do you have to make yourself look nondescript? "
His words made Diana's face turn red. She looked at her clothes and quickly went to choose clothes. "I'll change right away!"
At this moment, Phillips walked over. Diana's face turned pale as if Phillips was going to scold her. In the end, Phillips only glanced at the clothes and then picked one and threw it to Diana. "Wear this."
"Yes, yes." Diana said twice and quickly ran to the fitting room.
Phillips sneered.
When Diana came out, she was much more careful. She walked to Phillips and asked in a low voice, "Sir, how about this?"
Phillips glanced at it. It was much better than before.
"I'll take this."
He took out his black card and said to the shop assistant, "I'll take this."
The shop assistant's face was about to bloom with a smile. This was a limited edition. Just this one was much more expensive than most of the clothes in the shop. She quickly went to settle the bill.
Diana walked to Phillips's side like a little bird. "Sir, thank you for buying me such an expensive dress."
"As long as I'm happy."
Phillips had never worried about money.
He didn't know what he wanted to do. He just felt bored and annoyed, so he took a girl to the ball on a whim.
Perhaps, he wanted to forget Eve in this way.
On the other side.
Eve wandered aimlessly in the garden. A group of people followed behind her, making her feel very depressed. She even began to regret choosing this Fifth Lord of all people.
She found a maid who served her and asked, "Fifth Lord still doesn't have a wife? I haven't seen any other women these days. "
Fifth Lord should be a man in his thirties. Even if he considered the problem of carrying on the family line and grooming an heir, he should be married.
When the maid heard this, she looked around and then whispered, "This matter shouldn't be said, but since Miss asked, I don't think there's a problem."
"Huh?" Eve raised her eyebrows. Was there really something strange?
"Actually, Fifth Lord was married. His wife was not from the underworld. She came from an ordinary family."
"Oh?" Eve was interested. "It seems that there's a story. Then what? Why didn't I see his wife come out? Or does she live somewhere else? "
No, she could borrow the woman's power to leave here.
Eve's calculations were going well, but the maid shook her head and sighed. "Madam passed away five years ago."
"Passed away?"
"Yes, five years ago, Feng Dike's family had an internal strife in order to fight for the position of Patriarch. Fifth Lord and a few others were at each other's throats. Madam was careless and became the sacrifice of that strife. It was also because of this that Fifth Lord obtained the position of Patriarch. However, he had always felt guilty, feeling that he had implicated Madam. Therefore, all these years, Fifth Lord did not remarry.
"I didn't expect Fifth Lord to be so loyal."
Eve replied absent-mindedly. She felt that it was a pity that her wishful thinking had failed.
"However, I feel that Fifth Lord is serious about Miss Crazy this time!" The maid looked at her with shining eyes.
Eve's mouth twitched. She laughed dryly and said, "Why do you think so?"
She had never expected this man to be serious about her.
Who knew that the maid would say it so confidently. Her eyes were shining as she said, "Because, I heard from the old people here that Miss Crazy looks very similar to the deceased Madam. I think Fifth Lord will love you and treat you very well!"
Eve's smile became even colder.
She felt that Fifth Lord was treating her strangely well.
So it turned out that he was treating her as a substitute.
However, if Fifth Lord really valued that deceased Madam, the possibility of her escaping was even lower.
"Crazy, it's windy outside. Let's go inside."
Fifth Lord was standing behind Eve. Eve turned around to look at this cold man. Thinking of what the maid said, she smiled and asked, "Fifth Lord, is there any news about my family? They must be very worried if they can't find me after so long. "
When Fifth Lord heard this, he lowered his eyes and naturally replied, "I've already sent more people to search. I think they will find you soon. Are you not used to living here? Why did you suddenly mention this? "
He clearly knew that nine out of ten of Fifth Lord's words were false. Would he really send more people to search? From her point of view, whether this man continued to send people to search was still a problem.
He could actually say to send more people without changing his expression? How ironic.
However, Eve still pretended to believe him and smiled. "I'm quite used to living here. It's just that it's not good to keep living in your house. It's better to find my family as soon as possible."
When Fifth Lord heard this, he smiled lightly. "My house is quite big and there aren't many people. More people can increase the liveliness. It's quite good."
"Hehe, then why don't you marry a wife back? Naturally, it'll be liveliness."
"You think so too?"
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Eve felt that Fifth Lord's eyes suddenly became very bright. His eyes were deep and reflected her figure.
Eve immediately had the urge to slap herself. Of all things to mention, why did he have to mention this!
She laughed dryly. "Actually, it's quite good to live alone. It's free and easy. Marrying a wife back home and still having to be controlled, how bad …"
"No."
Fifth Lord suddenly interrupted Eve's words. He narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "Actually, I've been planning to do this for a while. The house is too cold and cheerless. It's time to get a mistress."
These words were too tempting.
It wasn't that Eve was narcissistic. She was sure that these words were specially said to her.
"Then I hope you can find the one you like."
Right now, she could only pretend that she didn't understand.
Fifth Lord looked at her deeply and then said lightly, "I think I've found it."
Eve's heart trembled.
She smiled and changed the topic. "Fifth Lord, I feel a little cold. Why don't we go back to the house first?"
Fifth Lord didn't continue the topic. Instead, he nodded along with Eve. "Mm, let's go."
On the way.
"Is the gown suitable?"
"Mm, it's very suitable. Thank you, Fifth Lord," Eve agreed obediently.
"I'm looking forward to tonight's ball," Fifth Lord suddenly said.
Eve was stunned.
Then she heard Fifth Lord continue, "You'll definitely be the most beautiful pearl tonight. I promise!"
The rhythm was getting out of control.
Fifth Lord's intentions of expressing his love were becoming more and more obvious. Eve's smile also became stiffer and stiffer.
She suddenly thought of tonight's ball.
Perhaps, this would be an opportunity.
Night fell on the city, but it couldn't cover its brilliance. Dazzling neon lights flickered, spreading an extravagant atmosphere everywhere. The time for revelry had arrived once again.
The ball started at 7: 30.
Many people had already gathered. Diana had always heard of this ball, but it was the first time she was attending it in person. Her eyes shone as she looked at the many gentlemen and celebrities. She felt a sense of pride as she stood at the same height as the past few days.
From tonight onwards, her fate would completely change. She would no longer be a hostess who sold her smiles, but a celebrity!
Therefore, she must hold on tightly to this sugar daddy!
Diana held on tightly to Phillips. Her smile became more and more attentive. "Sir, there are many important people coming tonight."
"Mm."
Phillips replied absent-mindedly and then put on his mask.
This ball was completely free. Even if you wore a mask, it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
After all, he was a big shot who often appeared on TV. Fortunately, Phillips was brave enough to dare to appear at such an occasion. If it were anyone else, they would probably hide.
"I heard that Fifth Lord will also be attending tonight. He's the owner of this street and can be considered our boss. This is the first time I'm meeting him, so I'm looking forward to it."
Diana saw Phillips's lack of interest and felt a great sense of crisis. Because Phillips basically didn't say anything, Diana could only find something to talk about and try to attract his attention as much as possible. Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.
It was almost 9: 00 when Fifth Lord finally arrived.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance. They saw a tall man who was about 1.9 meters tall appear at the entrance. Beside him was a female companion, which was the recently rumored girlfriend.
Eve was forced to hold Fifth Lord's hand. She heard him whisper in her ear, "Don't be afraid. Just follow me."
Hearing this, Eve sneered in her heart. Did she need to be afraid of this kind of ball?
In order to carry out her mission, she had participated in all kinds of balls with those big shots. She had long ago felt nothing.
However, in order to find a chance to escape, Eve had to do her best to follow Fifth Lord.
Under everyone's gaze, Eve walked down the stage. However, she felt a very hot gaze stuck to her body, making her feel like she was being stared at by a snake.
