Chapter 828 A Devastating Blow
Janice was choked. She really admired Eva''s courage to talk about such a topic openly in front of Jim!
Jim''s face was full of malice and cruelty. If Janice hadn''t been there and if she hadn''t be a damn
married woman, he would have taken her upstairs without hesitation to prove his ability.
Noticing his displeasure, Eva quickly changed the topic, "Scum Jim, Vinton and I have an appointment
with Essie and Zac to eat spicy crabs tonight. Would you like toe with Janice?"
"I... I might not be free," Janice said in a hurry. She just wanted to be alone with Jim. She didn''t like to
have too many people around. She had thought that Jim would refuse her, but she didn''t expect that
Jim would agree without hesitation. She had to change her mind. "Since Jim is going, I''ll go with you."
"You don''t have time, do you? It''s just a friend''s dinner. You don''t have to force yourself," Jim said.
"It''s okay. I just want to watch a TV series at eight o''clock at home. I can watch it online tomorrow."
Janice shook her head.
Eva giggled, "You must be looking at the y called ''Chivalrous Tenderness'' starring by my senior,
Nicole."
"Yes, I''m her fan." Janice nodded slightly.
"Are you a fan of King Jim?" Eva asked jokingly.
"Why bother asking?" Janice smiled.
"I''m not. He has many advantages and disadvantages. I won''t be his fan," Eva curled her lips and said
on purpose.
Jim sneered, full of mockery, "It''s better than someone. The shorings piled up higher than
mountains, and the advantages could only be found by magnifying sses."
"Who are you talking about?" Eva pretend that she did not know it. In fact, her face had already been
covered with dark clouds.
"You know the answer." Jim sneered.
Eva gritted her teeth and the muscles at the corners of her mouth tightened, but soon she loosened, as
if she had quickly detoxified the poison in her body.
"Whatever you say, it doesn''t matter. As long as my Vinton thinks that I have many advantages, that''s
enough. We are not rtives or friends, and your opinions arepletely ignored." She didn''t know
that her words had hurt Jim severely, which made him suffer a lot.
Now, what he hated most was being ignored by this heaven pepper. "Neither rtive nor friend? It
turns out that the Savior has such a low status in your heart. No wonder people say that the world is
getting darker and darker. It''s hard to be a good person. Because there are all ungrateful and forgetful
patients in this world."
Hearing this, Eva was speechless. "I''m not ungrateful. I''ve been paying off my debt of gratitude to you."
"It proves that you have never been grateful to me from the bottom of your heart." Jim] folded his arms
across his chest, as if he was a debt collectors.
"No, I didn''t. I really appreciate it. You are ming me every day. You are so mean. If I say that to you,
think about it, do you want to hear it or not?" Eva rolled her eyes at him.
"I''m just telling the truth," said Jim with a faint smile.
"That is not the true!" Eva was so angry that she wanted to jump. She was not as bad as he said. She
felt good about herself.
Janice looked at them bickering to each other. She was like a gorgeous Barbie doll ced next to
them, unable to say a word. She was very depressed.
She didn''t like this feeling. In the past few days, Jim had talk to her less than what he had said to Eva
at this moment.
She had left for so many years, but now she was like a stranger to Jim, who had nothing to say.
After the cocktail party, it was half a day''s shooting. She stayed to visit. At the end of the evening,
Vinton came to pick up Eva. Then the four of them went to the most famous spicy crab shop in Dragon
City.
Essie and Zac just arrived.
Every time they ate, Eva was the most excited. Even her two beautiful big ck eyes were shining.
"Eva, why didn''t you call Jade and J here?" Janice asked.
"Pregnant women can''t eat crabs. It''s a taboo. It might cause the abortion." Eva waved her hand.
"Oh, I see. I don''t know." Janice shrank her neck.
"You have never been pregnant. How do you know? I just heard from Essie that pregnant women can''t
eat a lot of things." Eva pouted, "Nine months. It''s not allowed to eat many things. It must be the most
cruel torture for me, a foodie."
"Sister inw, are you pregnant?" Essie asked with a smile.
"Soon. Vinton and I have decided that we will get married in June. Maybe I will get pregnant in July."
Eva smiled and didn''t mind talking about it at all.
Vinton lowered his head and kissed her cheek affectionately.
A muscle on Jim''s handsome face twitched. He found that the cocktail he drank was really sour and
tasted terrible.
Zac saw his subtle expression and sighed in his heart.
Janice didn''t notice it. She smiled and raised her ss, "Eva, I wish you a baby soon."
"Thank you." Eva and Vinton picked up the cocktail and clinked it with her.
After the spicy crab was served, Eva picked up the biggest piece of meat and put it into Essie''s bowl.
"Essie, I find that you have lost weight in the past two days, and your chin is also sharp. You have been
tortured by the murderer. What a cruel and merciless person! That person even doesn''t let go of a
more than seventy years old woman. If we catch her, we''ll torture her to death." After saying that, she
paused and looked at Jim and Zac. "Don''t you each have three hundred and sixty five punishments?
Let her taste everything and let her die a horrible death."
"How dare she hurt the rtives of the Rong family? She is either an ouw or a mad person," Vinton
said thoughtfully.
"No matter who it is, we must catch her and kill her!" Eva said indignantly.
Zac looked serious. Of course he wouldn''t let her go. He hoped that it wasn''t Mary. Whether she was
his biological mother or not, she had raised him for thirty years. He didn''t believe that she would kill her
biological mother in order to keep her position in the Rong family.
Essie also knew that it was hard for him to ept this possibility. She would not mention it in front of
him usually. Only Mili would provoke Mary without scruple.
"Eva, you haven''t found out the person who nder you on the Inte, have you? Be careful these
days. Remember to bring more bodyguards with you when you go out."
"Don''t worry. I will protect my wife. I''m investigating that bastard. As long as he dares to show up, I will
definitely catch him and cut off his fingers. I''ll see how he will nder and frame my Eva," Vinton
frowned and said angrily.
"Vinton, is she your ex-girlfriend? I think this post has always been aimed at the matter that Eva is
going to be the wife of the young master of the Xu family." Janice guessed.
"I changed my mind four years ago. Where did I get my ex-girlfriend?" Vinton said in a hurry.
Taking a sip of the cocktail, Eva said slowly, "Vinton, I think it''s possible. Women are very vindictive. Let
alone what happened four years ago, even if it was ten years ago, they may still keep it in mind. What if
they take the opportunity to revenge?"
"That''s troublesome. Your Vinton used to have many girlfriends. I guess he can''t even count himself. If
we have to investigate them one by one, we will not be able to finish probably in the next century." Jim
sneered.
Eva red at him and said, "Don''t me our Vinton. You are still the same. When Janice is not here,
you change women faster than change clothes. You probably cannot count how many girlfriend you
made yourself, right?"
"Morning pepper, how many boyfriends have you made? Have you counted?" Jim retorted.
"I was teaching the shameless jerk a lesson, not making a boyfriend. Those jerks are not qualified to be
my boyfriend," Eva said resentfully.
"It''s a game of different nature." Jim''s slightly narrowed his charming eyes which shed a sharp cold
light.
"I haven''t kissed them or slept with them. Can youpare me with you who has the whole shebang of
it?" With a snort, Eva picked up a big shell with crab roe from the big pot and began to eat. She had to
nourish herself well and fill her IQ so that she could have the brain to bicker with the vicious Jim.
Jim''s face was gloomy. In the mind of this woman with a heavy childhood shadow, even if you did
nothing, she would believe that you did it.
Janice put her slender fingers on his shoulder and said, "I believe in Jim. Jim is not a yboy. He has a
serious mysophobia. How could he touch those women?"
Hearing this, Eva didn''t say anything. Janice was her girlfriend. Since she chose to believe in scum
Jim, she wouldn''t hurt her.
When they were talking, Zac was silently picking up food for his wife, while Essie was eating silently.
Just as the dinner was about toe to an end, Mrs. Rose called and said that something had
happened in the Chateau in Provence.
Zac and Essie rushed to the vi by thekeside.
Mrs. Rose was extremely anxious. She heard from the manager of the Chateau that the cer and
Grape Garden were on fire, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Chateau.
Zac had arranged a private ne. On the second morning, he went back to France with Mrs. Rose and
Irene.
The fire in the cer and Grape Garden was very fierce. It took the fire department two hours to put out
the fire. Several workers were burned, and the workers on duty in the cer were burned to death on
the spot.
"How could this be? How could the cer and the grape garden be on fire together all of a sudden?"
Looking at the burnt vines in front of her, Mrs. Rose felt as if a knife were piercing her heart.

"I suspect that it was an arson. Someone set the fire on purpose." The manager said, "If the fire was
caused by the workers on duty in the cer by ident, it is impossible that the Grape Garden is also
on fire."
The police of Provence had taken over the case. They agreed with the manager and they would try
their best to hunt down the murderer.
But the wine cer, the Grape Garden were destroyed. It meant that the Rose Manor was destroyed.
It took several years to rebuild the Grape Garden, and so did the wine cer. They had signed an
agreement with several tradepanies. Now there was no wine to provide, and they needed to pay
tens of millions of liquidated damages.
