?Chapter 643:
Jeffry didn’t even spare her a look as he strode to his car. “I have a meeting. You eat alone,” he said tly.
He shut the door without a shred of hesitation, and the ck Cayenne sped off like Evelyn didn’t even exist.
As the car faded into the distance, so did Evelyn’s smile. Frustration boiled over, and sheshed out, kicking a nearby trash bin. Garbage spilled onto the pavement in an ugly mess.
She didn’t even nce at the mess before climbing into her car.
A sanitation worker hurried over, waving her down. “Miss, you’ve knocked over and even broken the bin! You can’t just leave like that!”
If the sanitation worker hadn’t caught Evelyn in time, she’d be stuck cleaning up the mess alone—and worse, her paycheck would take a hit for the damaged bin. On her measly three-thousand-a-month sry, a broken bin would cost her a painful three hundred.
The worker gripped Evelyn’s car door, refusing to let her drive off. The smell of rotting trash clung to the worker, making Evelyn’s nose scrunch in disgust.
With an irritated sigh, Evelyn yanked open her wallet, pulled out a wad of bills, and tossed it to the ground. “This is more than enough for a dozen trash bins. Take it and move along.”
The icy December wind sent the bills fluttering the second they hit the pavement.
The worker let out a startled gasp before dropping to her knees, scrambling to gather the scattered money,pletely forgetting about Evelyn.
Evelyn mmed the car door shut, slipped on her sunsses, and hit the gas, leaving city hall in a blur of frustration.
When Jolie found out Jeffry and Evelyn had tied the knot, she couldn’t help but grin. She sped Evelyn’s hands, her eyes full of approval, though she sighed. “That boy should’ve warned me. I wasn’t prepared at all.”
Without missing a beat, Jolie slipped off her jade bracelet and fastened it around Evelyn’s wrist. “I had no idea you were getting married today! Consider this a small gift from me. And don’t worry—I’ll make sure you two have the grandest wedding the has ever seen.”
Evelyn nced at the expensive bracelet now resting on her wrist, and just like that, her irritation over Jeffry’s earlier rejection melted away. “Mrs. Harper… Actually, can I just call you Jolie?”

Jolie blinked, surprised, and then chuckled. “Of course, dear. Jolie it is.”
Evelyn looped her arm through Jolie’s, shing a sweet smile as she tested out the name. “Jolie.”
Jolie kept grumbling about Jeffry’s recklessness, but her mind was already running through wedding arrangements. Now that Jeffry was married, she was all in.
Word of the Harper-Morgan union spread like wildfire through the’s elite circles.
As Elena stepped out of the office, she ran straight into Elyse.
Elena considered walking right past her, but Elyse smirked and said, “So, did you hear? Jeffry and Evelyn got married. She’s gonna eat a bumpkin like you alive. Your good days? They’re over.”
Elyse was well aware that Evelyn despised Elena. Now that Evelyn was officially Jeffry’s wife and moving into the Harper family estate, things were bound to get messy.
Elyse practically glowed with satisfaction as she taunted Elena.
Elena’s brows knitted together. “What the hell did you just say?” Elena was taken aback. Jeffry and Evelyn got married? Howe she didn’t know about it? But wasn’t Jeffry with Lydia? What happened to Lydia?
