She'll be back.
This person, don't tell me he's planning to …
Eve's heart sank. She heard Fifth Lord say, "I want her to stay."
Phillips was silent for a moment before slowly replying, "Fifth Lord, I've already said it. Eve and I are …"
"So what?"
Fifth Lord raised his brows. He strode towards them and forcefully separated Phillips's hand from Eve's. He said calmly, "This woman will become my wife. I'll also agree to provide you with assistance. According to my men, Eve is a traitor to the J Organisation. Using a traitor as collateral, I think it's a win-win deal."
Just as Phillips was about to speak, Fifth Lord's gaze suddenly fell on him. A trace of a mocking smile flashed in his eyes as he said, "Besides, wasn't this wishful thinking of your organization from the very beginning? You knew that Eve looked similar to my late wife and specially brought her here. Wasn't it to please me? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Eve to his side. "I like this gift very much. I'll also provide you with assistance. Everyone will be happy."
At this point, if she still didn't understand what was going on, she would be too stupid.
Eve only felt that she was so naive. She actually thought that Phillips had really brought her here to play. It turned out that everything had been planned.
From the start, he had intended to use her as a bargaining chip!
Wait a minute, he mentioned assistance just now. That should be assistance to the J Organisation. His own country's power had suffered a huge setback, so he planned to obtain assistance from other countries.
Adam and the rest still didn't know about this. If these people formed an alliance successfully, they would definitely pose a huge threat to Adam. She had to tell him about this!
Eve lowered her head, and her bright blue eyes flashed as she pondered what she should do to end their cooperation.
Quick, quick, think …
But her mind was in a mess and she couldn't concentrate at all.
She then realized that knowing the truth was a bigger blow than she had imagined. Thinking back to what Phillips had said before, it was simply laughable!
A sense of panic welled up in Phillips' heart at the sight of Eve's silence.
That was right.
The order given to him by his superiors was indeed to use Eve as a bargaining chip to please the godfather of Country E's underworld.
However, he had never handed Eve over to anyone. He really only wanted to bring her here to have some fun. He knew that she was depressed and was still trapped in Adam's shadow, so he wanted to take her out for a walk. He even tried his best to hide her whereabouts.
However, even if he said that, she probably wouldn't believe him.
But even if she didn't believe him, he still had to make it clear.
"I never intended to hand you over!"
Phillips shouted at Eve.
Eve's train of thought was interrupted, and she faltered slightly before raising her head to look at him, and her heart rate accelerated for no reason.
Phillips turned to Lord Five and said, "Lord Five, I've already told you that Eve is my lover. I don't intend to give her to you as a gift. I hope you won't steal someone else's love."
Did this person take the wrong medicine?
Eve was a little surprised by Phillips' actions. He was undoubtedly trying to infuriate Lord Five. Going against Lord Five in public was definitely not going to end well. Just look at how Lord Five treated his subordinates.
As expected, Lord Five's face darkened. He looked coldly at Phillips and said, "Are you serious?"
"That's right! Please, return my lover to me! "
Was this person crazy? Didn't he know that this would anger Lord Five?
Eve cursed in her heart. However, when she despised Phillips's irrational actions, she didn't know why she felt a little strange.
A feeling similar to joy lingered in her heart.
She suddenly felt that someone still valued her. She had always been a passerby in other people's lives.
Because of the mission, she had met all kinds of people. Among them, there was no lack of people that Eve liked. At that time, she, who was still childish and laughable, really felt loved. She even had the thought of giving up the mission and using a fake identity to stay with those people for the rest of her life.
However, reality was always so cruel that it made one despair.
Playthings.
Tools to give away.
Ornamental treasures.
In the eyes of those bigwigs, she was just an object. No matter how much they seemed to cherish her, in reality, it was just that they hadn't found a reason to abandon her. When faced with matters related to benefits, those people could easily abandon her like a worn-out rag.
Even if it was the man she loved the most, she still couldn't leave a mark in his heart.
From the beginning to the end, she had never stepped into other people's lives. She had always been an existence that was pushed back and forth.
And now, Phillips was actually willing to go against the J Organisation's orders for her. If she was unhappy, it would be fake. She even felt that Phillips might really like her a little.
"But, I won't let go of the person I like!" Lord Five's attitude changed from before. He became unyielding.
Phillips frowned. As expected, words were useless.
He looked at Eve. Although he knew that the chances were slim and almost negligible, he still reached out his hand to her. "If you don't want to stay, I'll take you away. I don't care about the mission or anything!"
"Are you serious?" Eve asked in astonishment.
Phillips was known as the J Organisation's most loyal dog. Would he betray the J Organisation for her?
"I'm serious!"
These three simple words had a kind of intimidating power. Eve suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with her being hot-headed and impulsive.
She took a deep breath and tugged at Lord Five's sleeve. She said in a low voice, "Lord Five, I'm very grateful for your help, but I don't plan to become your wife."
Eve's words made Lord Five fall silent.
Phillips looked at her in astonishment. Eve was actually on his side.
"You are very similar to my wife. Not only are you similar in appearance, but even your personality is very similar." Lord Five still had a bit of gentleness towards Eve. It was probably because he loved his wife, so he also tolerated people who looked similar to her.
He looked at her seriously and said, "I know it's not possible for you to accept me in a short period of time, but I'm willing to wait until you accept me. During this period, I won't touch you at all, okay?"
It was not easy for a mafia godfather to say these words.
Eve heaved a long sigh. Perhaps to others, this man was a demon who killed people without batting an eyelid. However, he was quite good to her. Even though he knew that she had lied to him, he had never planned to do anything to her.
When she pretended that she did not feel anything, she did not feel anything. She thought that she was a rational woman, but in the end, she was quite emotional.
Therefore, she still shook her head and refused. "Thank you for your kind intentions, but just as Phillips said, we are lovers. Therefore, no matter how tempting your conditions are, I will not agree. Please understand."
"Is there really no chance of a turn for the better?"
Lord Five said bitterly.
Eve's attitude was also very firm. She was not moved at all. "No!"
As she spoke, she pulled away Lord Five's hand that was holding her. She lowered her eyes and said indifferently, "I also sincerely wish that you can find the happiness that belongs to you. However, that person will definitely not be me."
After Lord Five heard this, he laughed bitterly. "Even this is very similar. You and my wife are very similar."
"Yes, I'm very honored. However, I don't want to be someone else's substitute."
Since she had already said this, it seemed that there really was no chance of a turn for the better. Lord Five sighed and compromised. "I understand. I won't make things difficult for you."
When Eve heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief.
This Fifth Lord must really love his wife.
"Thank you for your understanding. Then, we will take our leave first."
Eve bowed deeply to Lord Five. Then, she grabbed Phillips's hand, who was still standing there in a daze. She said in a low voice, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go! "
As she spoke, she pulled Phillips and quickly left without a moment's hesitation.
After watching Eve disappear at the door, Lord Five took a deep breath. His expression changed unpredictably. After a long time, he turned around and sat on the leather sofa. He lit a cigar and slowly smoked.
A subordinate walked forward and asked, unable to let go, "Lord Five, are we just going to let them leave like this? Should we send someone to keep an eye on them? "
"No need."
Lord Five said calmly.
The subordinate was a little puzzled.
Then, he heard Lord Five say indifferently, "Do you want to make a bet with me?"
"Ah?"
