Chapter 802
In frustration, Eva walked back and forth while ruffling her hair. Although she wanted to explain, she was unsure how. In the end, she ran out in a fit of anger.
Amelia was upset as she watched Eva run away. Her eyes became red with rage.
Oscar was obviously displeased, so he wanted to call Hugo to bring Eva back.
However, Amelia placed her hand on his hand that was holding the phone and shook her head. "No need. Just take it as I was being nosy."
Furrowing his brows, Oscar piped up with displeasure, "You're unhappy."
Amelia chuckled lightly and uttered, "There's nothing to be unhappy about. I finally understood that even though I thought I was caring for others, I was really just being nosy."
Lifting his hand, Oscar caressed her cheek and said, "Don't dwell on it too much. You aren't being nosy."
Amelia stood on tiptoe and bit his chin. With a smile, she stated, "Don't be angry because of this. I've done my best for Eva. There's nothing I can do if she doesn't appreciate it. We just recently met, as she mentioned, so we aren't particularly close just yet."
Oscar embraced her and gave her comfort. At the same time, a tempest was raging in the depths of his eyes.
After finding an excuse to leave the house in the afternoon, he drove straight to a park.
Moments later, he parked the car and walked toward Eva, who was sitting on a rock with a dejected expression.
Eva gave him a quick glance, not surprised by his sudden appearance.
As he got closer, he suddenly started attacking her. However, she managed to steer clear of his assault out of occupational instinct.
Yet, Oscar moved surprisingly quickly. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed Eva's hand and threw her over his shoulder.
As Eva collapsed to the ground, she groaned and felt a sharp pain in her back.
Looking at her condescendingly, Oscar ordered coldly, "Get up."
Eva quickly got up from the ground, and Oscar attacked her once again. Perhaps because she had her guard up this time, she managed to block his attacks five times before being thrown over his shoulder again.
The same thing happened over and over again. Eva felt as if all of her bones were scattered. She almost could not get up from the ground in the end.
When she eventually stood up, she coughed violently and asked weakly, "Oscar, are you satisfied now?"
In response, Oscar glared at her gloomily. "You made Amelia angry. I would have made your life worse than death if you weren't a relative of hers."
Eva believed that. With Oscar's power, it was a piece of cake for him to make her life miserable. Moreover, she was the one who disregarded Amelia's good intentions first. It was reasonable for Oscar to be angry.
"Oscar, please apologize to Amelia on my behalf. My mind has been a complete mess earlier, so I didn't give much thought to what I said. I didn't really mean what I said. I just don't want to give up on James." Eva coughed again and tried her best to explain herself.
Scrutinizing her, Oscar hit the nail on the head by saying, "With that appearance and occupation of yours, what makes you think you're worthy of James, aside from the fact that you're Amelia's cousin?"
Eva was bereft of speech.
Oscar's words struck her in the heart.
She straightened her back and retorted stubbornly, "In terms of appearance and family background, Amelia isn't worthy of you either. You two must have overcome many obstacles to be together. Shouldn't you have a better understanding of my feelings given what you've already been through?"
The edges of Oscar's mouth curled into a sneer.
"In my opinion, a woman is only devaluing herself by pursuing a man. If a man really loves you, he'll never let you pursue him," commented Oscar viciously. "It's your choice if you want to act shamelessly, but don't involve Amelia in it. I dislike seeing her worry about anyone. She's mine."
Eva turned around in silence and walked away.
Oscar did not chase after her. After beating her up, his rage had significantly subsided.
He did not like beating women unless they crossed his bottom line, and Eva had obviously crossed that boundary.
