Chapter 1549 An Unfamiliar Number
“Why? That’s because my brother has no feelings for Miss Constantine.” “Will there be any losses if your brother fails to go through with the engagement?” Eva asked anxiously.
“I’m not too sure about that either. We might have to transfer the corresponding amount of company shares based on the loan from back then to the Constantine Family! The Constantines have never asked us to return the money because it was considered their daughter’s dowry.”
A bitter feeling surged through her heart. Does that mean Louie will have to pay a heavy monetary price to the Constantine Family if he marries me?
“What about Miss Constantine? Does she have feelings for Louie?” She inquired further.
For a moment, Julian didn’t know how to answer. Lucy Constantine was in love with his brother, but Louie had never even looked at her way before. In any case, she would not willingly allow the engagement to be dissolved so easily.
“Eva, don’t think too much about this. I’m sure my brother will have a solution to this situation,” he reassured.
“I understand.” Eva nodded as she understood something. Miss Constantine is probably in love with Louie! That’s why the Constantine Family would rather refuse the money and force him to fulfill the contract instead.
Julian returned to filming his scenes and Eva decided to head back to her car. At this moment, her phone rang. She picked up her phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. “Hello, who is this?”
“Hello, Miss Duncan. I am Lucy Constantine, Louie’s fiancée.” An aggressive voice came from the other end of the phone.
She had just entered her car when she received the phone call. Taking a deep breath, she answered the other woman politely. “Hello, Miss Constantine.”
“I recently saw some rumors about you and Louie online. I don’t know whether they are real or fake, but I’m guessing that they are fake. In any case, it’s probably just a ruse for you to gain some popularity.”
Eva listened and denied the claims. “You’re right. The rumors are fake, not real.”
“I have heard many stories about how people in the entertainment industry would use any means possible to increase their standing. Eva, I’m sure Louie played a huge role in your achieving your current position, but it’s fine. You are earning money for him after all. I understand.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“My father has started discussing our marriage recently. If nothing goes wrong, you will be able to attend our wedding this year.” Lucy had a confident voice as she spoke.
“That’s great! I will come if I have the chance to,” Eva answered.
“Do you know why I’m so confident that I will marry Louie? Leaving aside the debt that his parents owe to my father, we also have a contract in place. If he refuses to take me as his wife, then he will have to transfer 20% of his company’s shares to my family. The value of those shares when converted to money is not something you can begin to understand. Even if you are Eva Duncan, I don’t think that any man would be willing to pay such a high price for you!”
Eva paled considerably at those words, but she let out a soft laugh. “Miss Constantine, I don’t fully understand what you’re saying. I’m just an actress after all. In any case, I wish happiness to both of you.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you understand or not. What matters is that you understand the gravity of the situation.” Lucy hung up after she finished speaking.
At that, Eva sighed softly. It turns out that the situation is more serious than I ever imagined. I never expected our relationship to involve such an astounding amount of monetary interest.
She closed her eyes in exhaustion. The idea of running away came back again in full force, to avoid causing any trouble for him. She sincerely did not wish for Louie to pay such a heavy price just to be together with her. It was enough that they once loved each other deeply. There was no need to be together for the rest of their lives.
The intense preparations for a grand wedding were currently taking place in Averna. As the heroine of the wedding, Queenie passed every single day in a good mood. What’s more, she discovered that she was carrying the crystallization of her love just this morning—she was pregnant!
The elders of the Manson Family were overjoyed by the news. After all, they finally received the long-awaited news about their future grandchild. Nigel had not wanted his wife to experience the hardships of pregnancy so soon, but Queenie had chosen to let nature take its course instead!
She had fallen in love with the idea, especially after seeing the young girl from the Presgrave Family. Therefore, she was wondering in excitement what her first baby with Nigel would look like!
