A hush fell over the crowd momentarily after a bold statement was made. It wasn't long before someone pointed an accusing finger at Eve.
"Eve, what are you talking about? Diana has been nurtured and cherished by Connor since she was young. All these years, Connor hasn't been linked to any scandals. How could he possibly have a girlfriend?"
"Exactly! Connor doesn't like you, so you resort to spreading rumors? If you upset Connor, you can't bear that responsibility."
"Eve, Connor is just over there. Would you say that to his face?"
Eve only found it amusing. Weren't these people just sucking up to Diana to stay in Connor's good books?
But she couldn't clear things up now. After all, she had spent so much time in Riverbrook, and she was well aware that Connor had been involved with that bitch called Chloe. Her image was even displayed on CNR Tower's giant screens every day. Eve regretted not taking a photo or recording a video at the time.
As everyone pressed Eve for answers, a dramatic moment unfolded. Backed into a corner by the crowd, Eve turned her head and saw a stunningly familiar face. For a moment, she thought she was lightheaded from the confrontation, hallucinating. Rubbing her eyes, she realized that wasn't the case.
Had this been before, she would have loathed to see that face and even be tempted to mar it. But now, she was overjoyed. It seemed a spectacle was guaranteed tonight.
Eve's expression suddenly turned smug, her smile clearly mischievous. "Connor's girlfriend is also here tonight."
