Chapter 198

Alvin led Evadne and Ada to the backstage lounge, where they chatted merrily over champagne.

After a while, Ada’s agent came to inform her that she had an important interview.

Once Ada left, only Evadne and Alvin remained in the lounge.

“It’s been three years, Alea. How have you been?” Alvin gently looked at her, his eyes full of warmth, devoid of any flirtatious undertones.

“I’m doing well, and nothing much has changed, Evadne replied with a smile.

“You’ve matured since then. Your gaze is more determined now. It’s as if you’ve gone through a lot. Where have you been these past three years? Have you been traveling around the world for inspiration?” Alvin picked up on the melancholy in her eyes and asked with concern.

“I didn’t go traveling. I went to the wet market to kill fish. I’ve been doing that for the past three years, Evadne sighed slightly, a hint of indifference flashing through her eyes.

“You’re still as humorous as ever,” Alvin chuckled.

They clinked glasses and Alvin joked, “When do you plan to reveal that you’re Alea? It’s such a waste to keep such an important identity hidden.”

“Let things take their course. I have a lot of important things to deal with right now. Revealing my identity might stir up unnecessary trouble,” Evadne squinted her eyes and smiled.

“I know you. You always want to maximize your benefits. You’d never put yourself at a disadvantage,” Alvin said, laughing. “We’ve been friends for many years. Remember to tell me if you encounter any difficulties.”

“We’re not in Aetheria. Your power may not work here,” Evadne said indifferently, catching his implication.

“Ms. Edith has always wanted to be a member of Aurora Adornments. She’s already been taken into consideration by the review department. But it seems she hasn’t met the standards to be a senior member of Aurora Adornments yet,” Alvin’s laughter deepened in his eyes. “Besides, Mrs. Jareth and Bertha are both trying to get me to attend their charity events. I was hesitant at first, but I’ve made up my mind now.”

Evadne shrugged nonchalantly, “As long as you’re happy, I don’t care.”

Her indifference was actually a subtle hint to him that he could go ahead.

Generally speaking, anyone who dared to bully her, regardless of age or gender, wouldn’t end up well.

As the fashion show was about to begin, Alvin led Evadne out of the lounge.

They hadn’t gone far when a cold and strong voice called out, “Evadne.”

Evadne’s heart skipped a beat. She turned around with a frown.
