Chapter 122 Visit the Hospital to Check the Brain
"I single-handedly reduced the country's total unmarried population, and..."
"Speak in plain language," Evelyn had no patience for her rambling.
Thalia slowly drained her glass, looked at Evelyn and spoke word by word: "I became William's legally recognized by the state... wife."
"So?" Evelyn knew exactly what she meant but still wanted to struggle a bit.
"Got married."
"What!" Evelyn's cry of surprise couldn't fully express how she felt right now.
"Are you crazy?"
"A man like William is worth getting a marriage certificate with?"
"Didn't you think he might be trying to screw you over?"
"Thalia... has your brain turned to mush?"
Evelyn was absolutely shocked.
Had the world gone crazy or had Thalia gone crazy?
Thalia was questioned so hard by Evelyn that she started doubting herself. She turned to look at Jada, thinking she'd be better, but... she was even worse.
Evelyn scolded for ages without hearing any response from Thalia, and snapped back: "Say something..."
Evelyn: ...Great, she's lost it.
"Go upstairs and change," Evelyn pulled her upstairs.
Thalia hurriedly handed her glass to Jada: "Change clothes to go where?"
"You'll know when we get there."
...
Twenty minutes later, Thalia looked at the hospital entrance and fell silent.
"You brought me to the hospital to..."
"Get your brain checked."
Thalia: ...
Evelyn got out of the car. Seeing Thalia sitting inside without moving, she glanced at her: "Get out."
"No way! If fans see me, I'll be in the headlines again tomorrow. Who knows, they might even write that I'm pregnant."
Evelyn couldn't be bothered arguing: "Get out. Don't make me crack open your skull at the hospital entrance to see what's inside."
After Evelyn yelled at her a few times, Thalia obediently got out with her.
In the elevator, Thalia pitifully tugged at Evelyn's sleeve: "Evelyn."
"Thalia!" Evelyn mimicked her tone perfectly.
The elevator doors opened. Evelyn pulled Thalia into the hospital's top floor. The wealthy families of Emerald City all liked to hire private doctors - when something came up, they'd call them home; when nothing was wrong, the doctors would work at private hospitals. The doctor Evelyn brought Thalia to see today was the Thomas family's doctor. Just as she pushed the door open to go in.
Evelyn and Thalia stood at the doorway, completely frozen.
In the small office, the woman's clothes were barely hanging on, the man was leaning against the desk with the woman trapped between himself and the desk - sex was just moments away.
Evelyn slammed the door shut.
She looked at Thalia, still shaken: "Did I see that wrong?"
Thalia was also stunned, never expecting to witness a live porn scene: "You didn't see wrong."
"Don't you think that woman looked familiar?" Evelyn couldn't quite remember where she'd seen her.
But she had a vague sense of familiarity.
"Is she someone from your entertainment circle?"
Thalia raised an eyebrow. No way, right?
Thalia, who had only been interested in the live porn aspect, suddenly became interested in the woman inside. She pushed Evelyn aside and peered through the frosted glass, just in time to see the woman turn her head. Her heart skipped a beat.
Seeing her surprised expression, Evelyn immediately got interested: "Who?"
Thalia wanted to say something, opened her mouth, but seemed to have something stuck in her throat. After a long pause, she finally spoke: "Lyra."
"Who?" The name sounded familiar but she couldn't place the person. Thalia had probably been in the entertainment industry so long that she had a mental chart of all the connections in Emerald City - she could pull up anyone's info instantly.
"Walter's sister-in-law, Winter's actual sister-in-law, Quentin's wife."
"The female boss of Ascend Global Group?" Evelyn thought, no wonder she seemed so familiar - they'd worked together before.
Thalia nodded.
"What! This is explosive news! Aren't they supposed to be a model couple?" Evelyn was stunned. The wealthy circle was really messy!
Thalia heard sounds from inside the room and pulled Evelyn around the corner into a hiding spot.
They'd just ducked into the corner when the office door was pulled open, and a seductive woman in a tight dark green dress swayed out.
Thalia watched, her eyes darkening.
Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.
John said something on the other end, and Thalia said she understood and hung up.
She tugged at Evelyn's arm: "Set up a gathering."
"Who? You're not planning to have them caught in bed, are you?"
"Do I have that much free time? Why would I meddle in other people's business?"
Evelyn thought about it - that made sense. She awkwardly touched her nose: "What kind of gathering? Tell me."
...
That evening, on the thirtieth floor of Aurora Tower, Evelyn entered the private room wearing a red slip dress.
As soon as she walked in, playful voices rang out: "Ms. Thomas, looking so stunning? You're almost catching up to Thalia - becoming Emerald City's number one beauty is just around the corner!"
"Nonsense, I've just been influenced by Thalia," Evelyn said, walking over to sit down.
Her gaze swept around and landed on Emma. Everyone in this circle naturally knew about the issues between the Wood family and Thalia, and Evelyn was Thalia's best friend of over ten years.
This made them indirect enemies.
One was a big boss, the other a wild young lady from a wealthy family - not in the same league.
Before Evelyn could do anything, someone sidled up to her: "Evelyn, it's my birthday today, keep your emotions in check."
Evelyn glanced at the man beside her and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry."
"How can I not worry? It's one thing that you're here, but if Thalia showed up, my heart would jump out of my chest."
Evelyn clicked her tongue: "Afraid we'll fight?"
Just as the words left her mouth, the private room door was pushed open.
Aurora Tower's staff wheeled in a four-tier cake, and the lights in the room immediately dimmed.
After the cake was cut, everyone went downstairs to the bar.
As soon as Evelyn entered the dance floor, she completely let loose.
