Chapter 1498: Chapter 1497: Sky-High Price for a Private Detective

Sophie Linwood contemplated whether to find a way to drug Eva Nightingale at the bar tonight.

After all, Eva was hosting, and she had chosen the venue and the drinks. If anything went wrong, she wouldn’t have the right to blame Sophie.

Thinking this, Sophie smugly lifted her chin.

It seems fate is on my side.

However, Sophie glanced around: "Miss Nightingale, I heard President Coldwell is here. Why haven’t I seen him!?"

Liam Coldwell?

Upon hearing this, Eva furrowed her brows unpleasantly. She had just returned and only saw her uncle Sebastian Yansford, but she hadn’t seen Liam Coldwell. Could it be that Liam was here?

She suspected that Liam Coldwell was actually Sophie Linwood’s real objective tonight?

Thinking of this, Eva Nightingale turned her gaze toward Jasmine Green beside her, her peach blossom eyes filled with anger and scrutiny, as if interrogating Jasmine nakedly.

Naturally afraid of her master, Jasmine’s eyes darted evasively, and she lowered her head.

This reaction made Eva instantly realize that they were hiding something from her.

If she guessed correctly, then it was indeed as Sophie Linwood said—Liam Coldwell was residing here!

Eva smiled: "Miss Linwood, I’m talented and excellent; it’s normal to have many admirers. Maybe President Coldwell wanted to give me a surprise, hiding out in my home, and I didn’t even know!"

"You...!!" Sophie Linwood was immediately incensed to the point of losing control.

Liam Coldwell was definitely at Eva’s house, maybe living in one of those castles at the back. She had specially hired a private detective and spent a fortune. The information couldn’t be false.

How could Eva not know?

Liam Coldwell pursuing her? The thought infuriated Sophie Linwood!

Forcing a smile, she couldn’t afford to be angry and ruin everything: "Miss Nightingale, since we’re all friends, you can just call me by my name."

"You’re so excellent, with good family background and looks. It’s normal for heads of state to favor such an outstanding woman like you."

"I just wonder, do you prefer Z Country’s President Liam Coldwell, or do you like Sovereign Empire’s President Lucas Knight more!?"

"Hmm?"

This question was very sharp, intentionally making Eva uncomfortable.

If she chose Liam Coldwell, then secretly meeting with Lucas Knight or causing rumors would definitely invite gossip and contempt.

If she chose Lucas Knight, then continuing to interact with Liam Coldwell would also invite criticism.

However, the question couldn’t stump Eva Nightingale, who, despite being a mafia princess, exuded elegance and nobility everywhere: "Sophie Linwood, who do you think I like?"

Eva counter-questioned.

Sophie Linwood: "..."

No, Eva wasn’t playing by the rules, leaving Sophie speechless and resentful!

"How could I possibly know who you like!"

"I’m not you. How would I know who treats you better!"

Generally, women choose the man who treats them better.

"They both treat me well." But their kindness wasn’t the same.

Liam Coldwell was as tender as water, sometimes domineering calling Eva his wife, though Eva always snapped back, never agreeing to him.

Lucas Knight seemed to have every trait... When he was good, he could spoil her to the heavens; at the same time, he was the man who could drop her from the clouds.

Eva Nightingale would change her mood due to his words or a glance.

Being with him made Eva feel insecure.

With him, she could experience all the bitter, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors of love.
