I Want a Divorce Every Day, But the Superstar Says No-Chapter 72: Durrell Landon’s Love for Evelyn Windsor Is the Biggest Joke in the World!
Midnight.
The sky hung with a waning moon, and the wind outside the window rustled the dry branches, carrying with it a thousand emotions, surging like sea waves, seemingly ready to engulf everything.
Durrell Landon stood at the window, arms crossed, the soft moonlight unable to dispel the harshness on his face.
Evelyn Windsor was quite surprised; she hadn’t expected Durrell to proactively invite her.
She carefully dressed up before going to the appointment.
After sitting for a long time, Durrell still didn’t speak, and honestly, she was a bit uneasy.
She teased softly, "Durrell... it’s so late, what’s the matter you want with me?"
Durrell glanced at her nonchalantly and threw a stack of photos in front of her.
Speaking with cold hardness and indifference, "I am preserving your dignity; I hope that in the future, the name Evelyn Windsor won’t appear in front of my name."
Instinctively, Evelyn picked up the stack of photos. Just looking at the first one, her eyes widened.
It was a photo of her and her ex-boyfriend in bed, taken abroad; her hands trembled slightly as she looked at Durrell in disbelief, "How do you have these photos?"
Durrell unhurriedly picked up his cup, took a sip, and then spoke indifferently, "You don’t need to know how I got them, Miss Windsor, you only need to know that if you don’t want these photos to go viral all over the internet, you best not mess with Quiana Sutton."
He’s never been a good man; he achieves his goals by any means necessary.
Evelyn listened to these excessively cold and indifferent words, breathing heavily.
After a long while, she calmed down a bit and spoke, her voice dropping eight tones:
"I only have one question for you: Have you ever truly liked me?"
If he truly liked her, how could he threaten her in such a despicable manner?
Durrell answered very directly: "Never!"
The word "never" completely snapped the tense nerves within her.
She suddenly started laughing, as if mocking herself for being naive, "Do you know why I left back then? Because every time you looked at me, it seemed to hide an especially deep emotion that overwhelmed me..." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
She could sink into this profound emotion with no escape, seemingly willing to be like a moth drawn to a flame, sacrificing everything, ultimately walking a path of losing herself.
But occasionally, she would also wonder, did Durrell really love her?
She repeatedly told herself, Durrell was special only towards her, ever since high school, she was the only girl who could come within one meter of him, and every important holiday he would give her gifts.
So Durrell must love her.
Suddenly realizing something, the sarcasm in her eyes shattered, and she nearly shouted aloud: "You have been using me all along, haven’t you? You created a false impression for all of Capital City, just to deceive Grandpa Landon, didn’t you? I’m just an intricately selected tool for you!"
Since the words were laid bare, Durrell might as well shatter her final illusion.
"Back then, I asked you, and you said your dream was to stand one day on the Oscar stage; now I’ve helped you achieve your wish, as a reward for years of shielding me from many women."
The realization she gained tonight nearly shattered the perception she had held for over twenty years.
She was merely a pawn Durrell used to confuse his grandfather, merely a pawn he used to block the women he didn’t like. Perhaps Durrell was aware of her methods for dealing with those women all along.
She had never thought anyone could be so terrifying.
Unknowingly weaving a web around you, crafting lies that deceive the world, making you willingly become a pawn in his palm.
She even thought if it weren’t for the appearance of Quiana Sutton, maybe this lie would last a lifetime.
Gripping the skirt beneath her with force, she spoke firmly, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Grandpa Landon that you’ve been deceiving him all these years, that you’ve secretly been plotting to seize Universal Corporation from the first young master?"
He simply did not care.
"If you want to say it, then go ahead."
Evelyn remained silent for a moment, then continued, "If I tell Quiana what kind of person you are, what do you think she’ll do?"
Durrell lightly shook his glass after hearing this, not saying a word, but the chill pouring from his eyes was shocking.
After a while, he spoke coldly, "Perhaps, you can try what’s called the consequences."
After saying this, he stood up, glanced at her, and spoke indifferently:
"This is the first warning; if you still want to enjoy the adoration and praise of thousands, and want your Windsor Estate to stand firm in Capital City, then it’s best not to do anything you’ll regret for life."
After Durrell left, Evelyn couldn’t hold back anymore, sweeping all the teacups off the table to the floor.
Durrell loving Evelyn was indeed the world’s biggest joke!
Yet losing so miserably made her truly unwilling!
...
After leaving, Durrell didn’t return to Imperial View Manor but went to Gentle Breeze Cottage.
Sitting in the car, he looked at the window still emitting a faint glow, knowing that still at this moment, Quiana wasn’t asleep.
Adjusting his posture, he irritably loosened his collar, staring at the car’s ceiling with a bit of frustration.
Someone once told him that a man of his deep mind would likely remain lonely his whole life.
He had never dared to dream of having someone who truly loved him.
But recently, he found himself getting greedy.
His phone vibrated a few times, and he took a look; it was a message from Director Parker.
Director Parker was worried about the relationship between the Windsor and Landon families, and Evelyn had quite a following online. He wanted to gauge the young Landon’s attitude before making any decisions.
Durrell replied to William Parker with just one sentence—
I only want Quiana Sutton as the lead actress.
William immediately understood; regardless of the relationship between Durrell and Quiana, she was the only leading lady in his mind.
He promptly used his private account to post a status—
The leading actress for "Phoenix Road" is not Evelyn Windsor; someone else has been chosen.
Almost a minute later, Evelyn also posted a status—
I was discussing a different movie with Director Parker today, not "Phoenix Road."
Seeing Evelyn’s post, William Parker couldn’t help but roll his eyes; when did he discuss any other movie with her?
It was practically a coup attempt.
Initially, his impression of Evelyn Windsor was quite good; now it had plummeted to the bottom.
Though it was past midnight, there were still plenty of people surfing online.
[Shocking! It’s the first time I’ve seen the main party come out to clarify rumors.]
[Everyone should be more discerning, don’t believe everything you hear.]
[Speaking of which, who exactly is the lead actress for "Phoenix Road," why is it so mysterious? Does anyone inside know?]
...
Under the anticipation of many, finally, someone inside revealed it.
[Apparently, it might be... Quiana Sutton...]
