Chapter 117: Evelyn’s Bed Is Too Big to Sleep a Third Person
Menu
Damon felt a chill run down his spine, his blood turning cold. Was this world even real? Evelyn’s- bed was so big; why couldn’t it
it fit a third person? His throat tightened. Evelyn noticed his reddened eyes. “Mr. Sterling, are you alright?”
He shook his head, his voice husky.“I’m fine; I just want you to be happy.” Evelyn was confused. Celia, her arms tighter around Evelyn’s waist, whispered, “He’s so strange!” Damon clenched his fists. He’d never been so humiliated! This little puppy, favored by Evelyn, Was subtly undermining him!
Just as he was about to retort… Evelyn caressed Celia’s face affectionately.“Let’s go home. You must be tired after a ten–hour flight. Take a shower and get some sleep.” Damon felt a bolt of lightning strike him. He looked like a drowned puppy; if he had ears, they’d be drooping. Fine, she cared for Celia. He’d retreat to a dark corner, licking his wounds, consumed by jealousy, twisting and writhing like a maggot!
Damon’s resentment caused Celia to press her back against Evelyn’s.“Mm!” She rubbed against Evelyn’s coat. Five years apart, their intimacy remained; it was like they’d never separated. Leaning against Evelyn, Celia felt her empty heart finally fill.
“Isn’t that Celia?”
“She was on our flight, and you didn’t notice?” Several foreigners with large luggage stood nearby, observing Celia and Evelyn closely, noting their intimacy. They hadn’t seen Celia this close to

Andy quickly texted Caleb, then asked, “Do you know that The foreigners chuckled, clarifying the misunderstanding.“He’s Luna’s navigator, Celia.
Andy was astonished. The CEO’s ex–wife was so close to the famous Celia! He knew Celia had been abroad; how did they meet?
He approached them.“Excuse me, Ms. Hayes.”
Frank exuded a powerful presence as Andy approached. Andy shivered; he wouldn’t have approached if not for Celia.
Celia turned, frowning at the people behind Andy. Evelyn recognized them–former–Chase Moon Club engineers and mechanics.
She asked Celia,“Vincent and the others came to China with you?”
Celia shook her head.“They…”
Andy said, “Ms. Hayes, please don’t misunderstand; I’m

here for Celia.”
Andy’s tone became respectful as he addressed Celia.“Mr. Louis, I’m Andy Butler, secretary to the CEO of Reed Corporation. Human Resources tried contacting you but failed. We’re happy to meet you. Are you interested…”
Celia cut him off.“I hate Reed Corporation. None of my companies will cooperate with them!”

ncent shrugged. It’s just an exhibition.”
Evelyn pieced together the information from Andy and Celia ‘Savannas is competing in the international racing competition?”
Andy proudly told Evelyn, “Reed Corporation is a sponsor of the Reping leg, Ma Serrazals wil participate as a racer.”
He boasted, “To ensure Ms. Savannah wins, Mr. Reed hired Chase Mood’s engineers and
mechanics.”
Andy smiled. “Ms. Hayes, Mr. Lu is your friend, right? He’s a top navigeon. Mr. Reed wares to hire him; please don’t stop him from making money.”
“Putting lipstick on a pig doesn’t make it a pig.” Evelyn’s comment froze the smug smile on Andy’s face.
Celia said to Vincent,“An amateur racer taking a spot means a professional racer los tér chance! The racing community is unhappy with Reed Corporation’s actions. You’l all become laughingstocks!”
Vincent declared, “If we help Ms. Savannah get into the top three, the whole world will see our true strength! Celia, Luna’s shadow has been over us for five years. She retired five years ago, Chase Moon disbanded five years ago! But we’ll prove we made Luna the top female race
Damon’s eyes held mockery. Celia, usually not argumentative, grew angry. Before she could speak, Evelyn held her hand, her warmth calming Celia She told Vincent and Andy, “Luna will also participate in the exhibition race on opening day. I believe she’ll look forward to competing against you!”
