    Chapter 180 Marriage


    In that instant, Deborah felt as if she had been struck by lightning,pletely clueless about what was


    going on.


    If she remembered correctly, it was just this morning that Adrian confessed his feelings for her.


    Although her attitude has already made it clear, isn’t Adrian’s change of target a bit too hasty?


    No, it seems like the focus isn’t here either.


    It seems like Joseph brought Evelyn over.


    Joseph seemed neither surprised nor displeased with the “blind date” happening before his eyes.


    With a fatherly tone, he said, “If Donna and Mr. Moxley find each other suitable, then I guess I’ve


    sessfully yed the role of a matchmaker.


    I know my secretary quite well, she’s a reliable person. Although her family’s financial situation is not as


    good as the Moxley family’s, it’s not bad either. Her parents are in the real estate business, and they


    belong to a middle-ss family, with an annual ie of around nine figures.”


    Donna’s eyes crinkled withughter, “Not bad, not bad at all. She’s a well-behaved and sensible girl.


    Eve, if you can make my grandson Adrian happy, I’ll be truly delighted and at ease.”


    Adrian hadn’t said a word throughout the entire process, but as he saw things were about to be settled,


    he finally spoke up in frustration.


    “Grandma, didn’t you even bother to ask for my opinion? Did I ever say yes?”


    Donna shot a sharp nce and reached out to grab the walking cane that was resting nearby.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    She lowered her voice, “How could you not agree? Mr. ck is Ms. Shepherd’s boyfriend. I, an old


    settle both old and new scores with you.”


    Donna spoke through gritted teeth, keeping her voice extremely low.


    After quickly finishing what he had to say, he continued to look at Evelyn with a beaming smile.


    As Donna looked up, she noticed that Deborah had entered the room.


    Donna immediately greeted with a smile, “Ms. Shepherd,e,e, sit down. I apologize forst


    night, I didn’t know Mr. ck was your


    lover.


    Mr. ck just brought Eve over. Can you help Grandma take a look and see if she and Adrian make a


    good match?”


    Deborah nced at Joseph, who immediately shifted his position guiltily. “Debby,e sit. Where have


    you been? You bought so many


    things.”


    Deborah wore a forced smile, not wanting to say anything in front of others.


    But she didn’t sit next to Joseph; instead, she chose to sit beside Evelyn.


    She replied to Donna, “Donna, Mr. Moxley and Evelyn make a great couple.”


    Donna smiled with relief and said, “I knew they were a good match. Hearing all of you say this, I can


    rest assured now.”


    Adrian couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up abruptly and said, “I’ll be straightforward, I have no


    interest in this Evelyn.


    I like Deborah, and I n to pursue her. As for her rtionship with Mr. ck, I don’t think it will affect


    my intentions.”


    Donna was so furious that she grabbed her cane and hit him, eximing. “What on earth is wrong with


    you? Ms. Shepherd and Mr. ck have been together for ages! You’re making a fool of yourself and


    embarrassing us all!”


    The living room quickly turned into a chaotic scene, with Adrian hopping around to dodge while loudly


    protesting.


    As Donna hit, she cursed angrily.


    Arge group of housekeepers hurried over, trying to calm both Donna and Adrian.


    Deborah hesitated, wondering if she should step in and help. Alyssa, standing beside her, grabbed her


    arm and said. “Mommy, don’t worry about it. Things like this happen every couple of days.”


    Donna watched with growing frustration, but in reality, she knew how to control her strength.


    If someone else steps forward to stop it, it might actually be even more lively.


    Deborah didn’t interfere anymore and sat on the couch, texting and chatting with Evelyn.


    It wrote: [Eve, are you really into Adrian?]


    Just moments ago, Evelyn was blushing, expressing her satisfaction with Adrian and appearing deeply


    in love.


    Now, as Adrian was being beaten, she clearly didn’t care at all, as if it had nothing to do with her.


    Upon seeing Deborah send a message, she immediately and tacitly took out her own phone to check.


    She quickly replied. (Stop teasing. Have you forgotten about Sasha from our CEO’s office? She just


    had a rtionship with himst month.


    After dating for ten days or even half a month, when they met again, Sasha greeted him. However, he


    was with a young model and looked confused as he asked her about who she was.]


    Deborah recalled that incident when she went to Jingron’s headquarters to look for Joseph. She


    overheard the conversation about it in the


    CEO’s office.


    Adrian had long been well-known in the CEO’s office where Evelyn worked. Coming from a wealthy


    family, Evelyn was only interested in finding a mature and reliable man to marry and settle down with. It


    was highly unlikely that she would ever be attracted to someone like


    Adrian.


    Deborah couldn’t help butugh and typed. [Then what about just now?]


    Evelyn replied in a message as she wrote: [Mr. ck said that if I handle this matter well, he will give


    me an extra year-end bonus, this


    amount.]


    After sending the message, she stretched out five fingers and gently waved them in front of Deborah’s


    eyes.


    Evelyn has always been financially independent, never relying on her parents or spending their money.


    So, she has always been very enthusiastic about making more money.


    Moreover, given Adrian’s temperament, it’s almost impossible for him topromise and dated her.


    Even if I can’t handle the pressure andpromise, it definitely won’tst more than a month.


    No matter how Evelyn looked at it, earning this year-end bonus seemed way too easy.


    She’s really good at acting.


    Deborah gave her a thumbs up and wrote: [Awesome!]


    Evelyn humbly replied in the text: (I can’t take the credit. It’s all thanks to your excellent teaching over


    the past few years, Deborah.]


    Joseph sat nearby, watching Deborah and Evelyn going back and forth, and he had a bad feeling about


    it.


    It seems like Evelyn might be talking behind his back.


    He gave a light cough, and Evelyn, fearing her boss, immediately fell silent..


    Donna gave Adrian a stern lecture, then took him upstairs to the study.


    Around ten minutester, the two of them came back downstairs.


    Adrian’s face, which was previously filled with protest and dissatisfaction, had now disappeared,


    reced by an appearance of striving to


    endure and ept whateveres his way.


    Donna said with a smile. “My grandson is actually just shy. I specifically asked him, and he said he has


    a good impression of you, Eve, but he’s just too embarrassed to say it.


    Since both of you are quite satisfied with each other, my suggestion is to take things slow and see how


    it goes. Eve, what do you think?”


    Evelyn is eagerly waiting to sit down and count her year-end bonus. Her mind is filled with images of


    blue-colored banknotes falling from


    above.


    One would know happy she was when Adrian suddenly stood up and firmly said he wasn’t interested in


    her.


    In that case, can she take her year-end bonus and leave today?


    As a result, now, after such a short time, how did things change so quickly?


    Evelynughed awkwardly. “If Mr. Moxley agrees, then of course I have no objections.”


    Donna noticed her strange expression, “Eve, why do you look like you’re about to cry?”
