Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1326 Remember to Apply the Ointment

"Are you trying to have a say in my marriage with Colton, Mr. Yael? I never thought you had such a peculiar hobby. You're not exactly young anymore. It's time to find someone for yourself." Seeing that Ryan hadn't responded, Evelyn went on the offensive.

Ryan was a very suspicious person. If she didn't continue to provoke him, he might easily start doubting the truthfulness of her words later on.

"You…" As expected, he seemed frustrated, as his response was cut short after just a single word.

At this moment, she let out a sigh of relief, but she didn't fully relax. She remained tense, waiting for his reply.

"Hah, marriage? Colton has never had any intention of marrying you. Don't flatter yourself. Let me tell you. I'll defeat Colton sooner or later." His tough words were aimed at provoking her. Right after that, he hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the call, she finally felt a weight lifted from her chest. Ryan must have firmly believed me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so frustrated and almost revealed his plans.
