She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 238

The word "shameless" made Bryant pause.

For a moment, he didn't understand what Evelyn meant.

Noticing Bryant's confusion, Evelyn explained in a soft, gentle voice.

"Bryant, has anyone told you that your costume tonight looks a lot like Julius Caesar?"

Bryant shook his head.

"I actually just based it on pictures of a medieval warrior I found online. I wasn't intentionally trying to be Julius Caesar."

"But I'm sure some people think your outfit looks like him."

Following Evelyn's suggestion, Bryant glanced down at his costume.

As he had been mingling earlier, a few people had indeed remarked that he looked a bit like Caesar.

"That's true."

Having gotten Bryant's confirmation, Evelyn smiled slightly, realizing she could continue.

"As everyone knows, Caesar was Cleopatra's lover… More than one guest here tonight knows Melanie and knows she is my brother's wife. Yet she deliberately dressed as Cleopatra. It's inevitable that people might mistakenly think she is your mistress."

"What?!"

Evelyn's statement left Bryant utterly aghast.

"That's why I called her shameless! By dressing up as Cleopatra, what does that make people think of my brother? Isn't she tarnishing the Hale family's reputation?"

"She's made you, the 'Caesar,' into her lover. Isn't that tarnishing your reputation as well?"

As Evelyn's words grew more impassioned, Bryant fell into deep thought.

He felt that… things probably weren't as serious as Evelyn was making them out to be.

After all, this promotional event was a masquerade ball.

A masquerade ball itself wasn't a serious occasion; it was a place for costumes and chaotic fun.
