Eva felt insulted by his harsh words. Still, she wanted to know the reason, so she replied honestly
“I am here on a dinner date with Stephen. “
“Oh, so who is behind whom? As you are making me confused, the Smith brothers are behind you or you are behind them, hmm? I mean, look at you, these expensive dresses, this struggle to get their attention. I know your dad must have planned this too. That greedy old man may be your backup plan. I mean, it’s nice and better if you both could get rights in my company or else the smith brothers are also in option “
“Harry, how dare you talk like this? What plan are you talking about?”
harry held her arm in a tight grip and stated in a bitter tone,
“Don’t act like a smart girl. I know your real identity now. At first I thought these Smith brothers were behind you, but after looking at you, enjoying romantic dinner dates with them, I could say that you are just like your father. He trapped your mother for money and you are two steps ahead of him, holding two plans and two men at once. “
Tears welled up in Eva’s eyes. She never felt so. Humiliated, he hated the way Harry talked about her parents. her arm was hurting as his grip was hard on her delicate arms
Before she could remove his grip, a loud voice boomed in the air, which got the attention of Eva and harry
“Leave her hand right now or you are going to lose your arm right now."
That powerful voice belonged to Stephen, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor with his hands dipped in his pocket. His face was calm, and his eyes were shooting daggers at Harry .
For the first time in her life, Eva was feeling so grateful to someone; it was none other than
Stephen smith
Chapter 41: After Effect
Stephen was waiting for Eva to return from the washroom. He took out a box and opened it. Stephen chose a simple solitaire ring to propose to Eva; he wanted something extravagant for her, but looking at her interest in simple things, he finally settled on this.
Stephen was glad that till now the dinner was going on smoothly. He was sure that he could convince Eva to give him a chance. He understands how nervous she behaves around him, but he never blames her for this, too, as he is a tough man to deal with.
Stephen always maintained a tough exterior with people, as he understood at a very young age that soft-spoken people could not easily survive in his business world. In all these years, he achieved whatever he wished for. It took a lot of hard work.
It’s not a simple task to suddenly change his personality, but for Eva, he is still trying hard; at least that's what he assumed.
Stephen was going through his thoughts, and he realized Eva was taking extra time in the washroom, so he checked. The moment he reached the lobby, he spotted Harry, who was accusing Eva with awful words, and then he held her arm, and the hold was hurting Eva; it was clear in her eyes. Before Stephen could interfere, he heard the most awful words from Harry‘s mouth.
“Don’t act smart, girl. I know your real identity now. First, I thought these Smith brothers were behind you, but after looking at you, enjoying romantic dinner dates with them, I could say that you are just like your father. He trapped your mother for money and you are two steps ahead of him, holding two plans and two men at once. “
Stephen saw tears welling up in the eyes of his woman and that’s the last string of his patience
“Leave her hand right now or you are going to lose your arm right now."
Eva looked at him in tears. Stephen just reached to them and first removed the filthy hands from her arms and made her stand behind him, shielding her.
“What a shame you still didn’t know how to behave with women; it’s not your fault entirely after all whose son you are; the same filthy blood runs in your veins too.”
Harry gritted his teeth in anger and pointed a finger at Stephen
“Don’t you dare to say a word about my dad or else. “ Stephen held his finger and bent it down. He then reached to his collar and started adjusting his collar and then took two steps back. Then declared in his bitter tone.
“Or else you can do nothing to me. And then bring it on. But tell Mr. Hudson, if you cannot hear a word against your dad, then how can you expect Eva to listen to all the awful words about her dad? I will suggest that you check the facts first, then decide who is right and who is wrong. And talking about character, it doesn’t suit you, Mr., but again, it’s not your fault entirely, as your father is the biggest male whore of LA. So I understand that “
Stephen held Eva's hand in his and turned around to leave, but he heard a slight wince, and he noticed it. He left the hand and scrutinized the blue marks.
He turned around and told Harry, “You have to pay a lot for this, Hudson.”
Stephen held Eva from her waist and reached for the car. After settling into the car, he ordered the chauffeur
“Take the car to the hospital
