The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 47

Derek had thought that Evelyn's name sounded familiar when he first heard it and now, he knew exactly why.

Why didn't she tell him about her relationship with Michael? Was that why she had tried staying away from him?

Why didn't he think of that when Michael first asked him about his business with Evelyn? Why didn't he think of it when he saw the way they had greeted each other so coldly in his office! he mused as he turned to glance at Michael

Michael sensing his piercing blue eyes on him, flashed him an apologetic look but Derek merely gave him a look that said they would talk about it

later.

Meanwhile, Evelyn quickly recovered from her shock at Sandra's theatrics, and realizing what Sandra was doing, she smiled.

It was obvious that Sandra was putting up the act because she wanted to make her look bad in front of everyone. She could already hear some of the guests whispering about her. ff on the morning of her wedding.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Evelyn Why do you keep embarrassing me and bringing shame to this family?" Eric growled and Evelyn shook her head, not surprised by her father's reaction. "What is going on Evie? Why is Sandra on the floor and why did you pour your wine on her? Claire asked while Sandra who had been pretending to be crying stood up with Eric's help

"I was only asking her why she was being cold to me and wouldn't come back home but then she said I was asking because I was jealous and feeling. threatened by presence. I tried to explain to her but she just pushed me angrily saying she would never forgive me for remaining friends with Michael, Sandra said, crying
