Chapter 37Â
It has been several days since the car accident.Â
During this period, Reed was very concerned about her. He insisted on picking her up and dropping- her off for work, and he absolutely refused to let her drive.Â
She sighed with relief, luckily the bid document was delivered on time that day.Â
I heard that Martin was hospitalized again these days, so Evelyn is getting ready to go and see him.Â
She had just walked out the door when Reed’s door opened.Â
“Going out?” he asked in a deep voice.Â
Evelyn, feeling caught off guard, responded nervously, “Um, Martin was hospitalized, so I went toÂ
visit him.”Â
Reed sneered, “What does he have that’s worth looking at?”Â
Evelyn blinked her eyes and said, “At least he saved my life, so I should go visit him.”Â
“I will go with you,” he said, as he was about to follow.Â
Evelyn raised her hand and firmly held onto him, helplessly saying, “Doesn’t the company matter anymore?”Â
I kindly persuaded the person and then took a taxi to the hospital.Â
Just arrived at the hospital ward, I bumped into someone.Â
“What a coincidence.”Â
Upon hearing this piercing sound, Evelyn looked up and to her surprise, it was Isabel.Â
She pursed her lips and didn’t want to pay attention.Â
However, the man did not let her go. He raised his hand to stop her way, with a hint of sadness in his eyes and eyebrows. “Are you going to find Martin?”Â
Evelyn didn’t know what she wanted to do when she stopped, and when she asked, her eyebrows furrowed, “So what if it is?”Â
Isabel raised her eyebrows and spoke provocatively, “Evelyn, you better not covet what you can’t have, lest it ends up in a messy situation.”Â
Evelyn paused for a moment, understanding the meaning behind her words and recalling theÂ

banner from a few days ago. She couldn’t help but furrow her brows in anger and said, “So, you were the one behind that banner that twisted black and white?”Â
Isabel pursed her lips and smiled, “This is indeed a fact.” As she spoke, she lifted her head, revealing her slender neck, and assumed a proud posture, “Martin…”Â
It was me who liked you, and our relationship was very deep. No one else could interfere.Â
As soon as these words were spoken, Evelyn, who was originally angry, suddenly burst intoÂ
laughter.Â
This smile made Isabel pause, “What are you laughing at?”Â
“I laughed at you for not knowing what it meant.”Â
Evelyn retorted without hesitation, “If the feelings were truly deep, would you do such despicable things? They are nothing but underhanded tricks.”Â
Leaving aside this matter, based on Mr. Wilson’s character, what would he have done if he had known that you were scheming behind his back?Â
These words were like a slap, fiercely hitting Isabel’s face, burning with pain.Â
And because of the last sentence, his face turned a little pale, then he pretended and said, “We grewÂ
up together since childhood, he only trusts me.‘Â
The implicit meaning is that it was useless for her to go and file a complaint.Â
Evelyn scoffed lightly, “You are the only one still living in imagination.”Â
Isabel’s anger surged up, and her face immediately changed.Â
She raised her hand as if to slap, and Evelyn was about to dodge, but then she suddenly changedÂ
direction and slapped herself in the face.Â
With a loud “bang,” the sound was very loud.Â
Evelyn was shocked and instinctively let out a gasp, berating herself.Â
Looking at the red marks on her face, she silently criticized in her mind.Â
Isabel covered her face and looked at Evelyn behind her with a face full of grievances.Â
Evelyn turned around and saw Martin sitting in a wheelchair not far away, with a cold expression inÂ
his eyes.Â

“Martin, it hurt so much.”Â
Isabel ran past Evelyn, her face flushed, and lied without changing her expression.Â
Martin’s eyes showed a trace of displeasure, and his cold voice was much lower than before as he said, “Why did you hit yourself?”Â
Upon hearing these words, Isabel’s lips trembled, unsure of what to say, and she stood frozen in place.Â
