Chapter 145 How Dare You!

• Evelyn had gone to the restroom and rinsed her face with cold water in an attempt to compose herself. Refreshed by its coolness, she exited the space and ventured back into the hallway. As she strolled along the corridor, a wealthy heir appeared in her path, stopping dead in his tracks as his gaze fixated on her. His disbelief was evident as he blurted out, "Evelyn! You've actually returned to Maritown?"
• His eyes roamed brazenly over her, who, at 18, had left the city in the springtime of her youth. But now, two years later, she stood transformed, blossoming into a breathtaking beauty. Her features, once youthful and innocent, had become strikingly radiant, with mesmerizing eyes that seemed to hold secrets and lips as red and tempting as forbidden fruit.
• The magnetic pull she had over men was undeniable. Unable to resist, he let his gaze linger on her figure, which had even caught the admiration of international critics. She wore a vintage, wine-red gown that accentuated her flawless porcelain skin, with soft chestnut curls casually framing her shoulders in a careless yet elegant fashion, enhancing her irresistible blend of charm and sophistication.
