Eva had just arrived and all she wanted was to end this money-for-s*x transaction with her financial sponsor as soon as possible. That’s right, the so-called lover relationship does not mean that the two parties are engaged, but because they think that the other party is not qualified to be their nominal partner, and the two parties are merely in a relationship of money and s*x transactions.
However, although Eva accepted the original owner's memory, she found that the original owner did not know this financial sponsor at all. She felt that she couldn't rashly ask to end the relationship as this might anger the other party and might even lead to some consequences. She planned to observe the situation first and then find another opportunity to take another look. And this sponsor didn't seem to like the original owner that much; he just thought she was pretty. After all, no one likes a straw bag, especially a picky, arrogant rich person. He probably only comes here 1-2 times a month. This is a small villa he bought specifically for Eva. But when it comes to beauty, it is indeed impeccable.
Eva is not your traditional blonde sweetheart type of beauty. She doesn't have blonde hair, blue eyes, or snowy skin. Eva has deep black, wavy, slightly curly hair, which is pure, elegant, and charming. A pair of light brown eyes, when staring at people, seem to make people fall into the illusion of love. She also has a light wheat-colored skin, which is really eye-catching. Just like the honey-colored skin of Hollywood s*x goddess Megan Fox, sexy sweetheart Jessica Alba, and Latin queen Jennifer Lopez. Judging from the skin color, perhaps the original owner has Latino or American Indian ancestry? In European and American aesthetics, this skin color represents health, vitality, and sexiness. Her facial features can basically be summarized as charming, profound, and three-dimensional. She doesn't look sweet at all; she even looks a little bit weird. After being used to the blue eyes, white skin, blonde hair, and sweetheart routine, Eva's style, sexiness, and seductiveness are absolutely amazing. The sponsor may have established a romantic relationship with Eva because of her looks.
At this time, Eva got up from the bed and planned to go downstairs to eat something. When she walked downstairs, she heard several servants talking about her in the kitchen.
"I discovered yesterday that Miss Cody seemed to have stolen some gold from our house again. I guess she used it for gambling again?"
"Did you tell Mr. Scott?"
"I did, but Mr. Scott, as always, said nothing."
"Oh my God, how long does Mr. Scott intend to endure..."
"I don't know what she likes about Miss Cody. She's greedy and lazy. She has nothing good to offer except her beauty."
"Mr. Scott doesn't seem to like Miss Cody that much. Come on, what man would like such a foolish woman who only knows how to gamble?"
Eva stopped listening and deliberately made footsteps, and the discussions suddenly stopped. She felt helpless. The original owner had done so badly that even the servants looked down on her. And it sounds like the people around her are very clear about her character. However, she has more important things to do. She is living again not to waste time on such boring quarrels. In her previous life, she wasted a lot of precious time on such boring things just to maintain her so-called vanity and face. Now that she thinks about it, it was simply the hypocritical mentality of upper-class ladies who were bored and greedy. Caring about what others think is nothing more than a result of one's own inner weakness. She no longer worries about these little things.
She was just about to find something to eat when she heard a car horn in the yard. Then a servant suddenly said, "It's Mr. Scott, Miss Cody."
Mr. Scott... Alexander Scott. This was the name of the sponsor, but no one knew where he came from, and Eva didn't even think he was Irish. From memory, his face looked more like a Nordic man. Cold, silent, aloof, distant, and habitually looking down on people with contempt out of the corner of his eye. He is very mysterious and has a lot of wealth, but no one knows where he came from or even what he does.
While Eva was still lost in thought, Alexander pushed the door open and walked in. Elegant, gentlemanly, like an upper-class aristocrat from British society. This was Eva's first impression of him, although he might not be British. He was not that young, even more than ten years older than Eva, but he had an arrogant temperament, contemptuous and distant. He saw Eva standing there in a daze. He just glanced at her but did not stop. Instead, he walked straight into the hall. Eva subconsciously judged that this was an extremely arrogant man. She followed him in and sat down at a distance from him. Because she knew she was misogynistic, she didn't want to have any physical contact with Alexander; otherwise, she might not be able to control her emotions.
Alexander took a cigarette out of the cigarette box, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then said calmly, "How are you doing recently?" His tone was very familiar, and he did not mention a word about what the servant had just said about Eva stealing the gold in the house to gamble. In fact, he knew a lot of shameful things about Eva, but he just didn't mention it. Eva said something perfunctorily, "Not bad."
Alexander lit up the cigarette and bit into it, the smoke swirling around his fingertips and dispersing, "Soon, I will leave Ireland and will not come back." Eva was surprised that this taciturn and arrogant man said this to her, as if there was some other meaning behind it. She responded: "Okay, you don't look Irish either." Alexander did not comment much on Eva's words. He has always been very mysterious and has not even revealed his nationality. His ice-blue eyes stared at Eva, and he suddenly said, "That's it. For our relationship, I hope you're not someone who likes to get entangled."
When Eva heard what Alexander said, she did not show a very sad expression. If it were the original owner, she would probably be wailing at this moment, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself in an attempt to keep the sponsor. But she wouldn't, because she knew that men were unreliable. Why bother retaining someone who is not reliable at all? She took a sip of water to moisten her dry throat, "Okay, let's stop here then."
Alexander looked at Eva with an inquiring look. In his impression, Eva has always been a noisy girl who uses her beauty as capital to exchange for all benefits. They had been together for half a year, and he could already see that she was a vain, gambling-addicted woman with a beautiful face but a big fool. She threw all the money he gave her every month on the gambling table and lost it all. He just thought she was pretty and fresh, so he kept her by his side for half a year. But he abandoned her. Why does she seem so relieved now and not feel sorry at all?
Alexander shook off a few strands of cigarette ash and said, "According to the agreement, I have deposited 100,000 euros into your account. This is what you deserve." Eva placed her finger on the rim of the glass in front of her and circled it, but her eyes never looked at Alexander. She was thinking. It seems that this was an equal condition that the original owner and the financier had agreed upon in advance. It is not a wise choice to refuse the money in a pretentious manner. One hundred thousand euros is not a lot. For her who wants to be a director, it is not even enough to make a movie. But for her who is penniless now, these 100,000 euros are a must. It was the money she needed after leaving her sponsor; otherwise, she might end up on the streets and even be unable to pay her tuition.
She is a vulnerable person now, and this money can solve her urgent needs. Then she said, "I appreciate your generosity." He smoked coldly, but patiently followed her words and asked: "I hope you won't lose all my money in two days." Eva glanced at Alexander and said nothing. Alexander tilted his head slightly, "Why, you don't dare to say it?"
Then, Eva looked up at him and said, "I will use it carefully, such as paying tuition fees. After all, the tuition fees of the film school are very high and I can't make ends meet by working alone. Besides, I have stopped gambling." Alexander rubbed his thumb, with a smile in his eyes, "It seems that you haven't forgotten your dream of becoming a director?" This is a laugh at Eva's unawareness of her own abilities, or a mockery of her vanity. He knew that this girl always used her dream of becoming a director to highlight herself, telling people how ambitious and hardworking she was. In fact, she just wanted to sell her persona to make some money.
Eva replied calmly: "You are right, I still want to be a director." She had no special skills; the only thing she knew was the film-making techniques she had learned in the years before her death in her previous life. Moreover, she found that she had a talent for this and she loved this career very much. To say that being a director is a dream is a bit pretentious for someone like her who is not young in both her past and present lives. Then, she put it another way. In this life, she longs to become an excellent director, rely on herself, and enjoy the taste of success.
"If you want to be a director, I can give you some experience," Alexander changed his sitting
position, his eyes always intriguing. Eva began to look at him carefully and said in a calm tone, "I'm all ears." It was the first time that Alexander saw Eva so humble. Not only was she humble; her whole temperament was completely different. She is no longer irritable or assertive; she is now calm, relaxed, and quite self-contained. He suddenly stood up and walked towards Eva, which made Eva, who was misogynistic, feel like she was facing a formidable enemy. As he walked, he spoke calmly, as if he had been working in the film industry for many years, "In this industry, being pretty is useless; you have to be smart."
After he finished speaking, he was already standing in front of Eva. Just as Eva was about to step back, he reached out a hand and grabbed Eva's jaw. As he remembered, he liked to do this action very much, gently pinching her jaw with one hand and looking at her face. But this time, Eva suddenly opened his hand and pushed him back hard, saying loudly: "Don't touch me!" After completing this series of actions, she was stunned. Because this was completely subconscious and she couldn't control herself at all. Her misogyny didn't seem to be improving at all. At this moment, her stomach was churning with nausea and she just wanted to find a place to vomit. But she saw Alexander's shocked expression.
Obviously, Alexander really didn't expect that Eva, who had always been obedient and submissive, would disobey him like this. He looked quietly at the bloody marks on the back of his hand that had just been scratched by Eva's fingernails. Then, his eyes became colder and colder. His pupils suddenly contracted, like a wild beast that was completely enraged. This was beyond Eva's expectations. The man, who had at least a pleasant expression just now, now had a face that was terribly cold.
Then, on Alexander's cold and distant face, one of his cheekbones suddenly twitched due to emotional changes. This cold and terrifying expression frightened Eva. She felt that he really wanted to kill her at this moment. He would literally kill her. She didn't want to die again just after being reborn. She quickly waved her hands and explained, "Wait, please listen to my explanation. I didn't mean it!" There was suppressed violence and danger on Alexander's face, which might burst out at any moment. Eva couldn't help wondering, why did this guy react so strongly? Has he never been disobeyed before?
She had met many people in her previous life, but she had never seen such a person, so twisted, violent, and arrogant. She continued to explain: "I...I've been in a bad mood recently. I'm going to see a psychologist tomorrow. I think I'm under too much psychological pressure recently." Then she stopped talking and looked at Alexander. She hoped Alexander wouldn't lose control. In fact, she thought that a man as proud as Alexander should find it difficult to lose control.
As expected, Alexander's emotions soon seemed to calm down. The angry expression gradually turned into calm and indifferent. Then, it turned into a contemptuous smile on his face, "I think you really need a psychiatrist. You are completely crazy now." The implication is that how could Eva be worthy of being by his side in this state? Eva swallowed her saliva and didn't dare to speak. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and she is not a fearless person.
Alexander said, glancing at Eva with disgust, "You will move out of here tomorrow." Then he turned and left the living room. Eva heard a door open and close, then a car start. Alexander left. Only then did Eva let out a sigh of relief. It was so scary just now. He seemed to really want to kill her for a moment. Alexander had never been like this in her memory. He had always been cold and distant, and when he was in a good mood, a happy and contemptuous smile would appear on his face.
However, he actually has such a twisted and violent side in his heart. Once his reverse scale is touched, he will become very scary. Even Eva didn't need to wait until tomorrow; she would move out soon. She didn't want to stay even a minute longer.
