Chapter 690: She Can Only Be Reduced to a Plaything and a Laughingstock

Thinking about this, Evelyn clenched her fists and took a gentle step forward, exuding an indomitable aura.

Evelyn kept her expression serious, her gaze lightly falling on Shannon Dunn, calm and miraculous, as dazzling as a blooming flower.

"Miss Dunn indeed said many bad things about you in front of me and did quite a few things to try and break up our marriage," Evelyn confessed truthfully. "I imagine she thinks she’s quite capable and has a company in secret, so she wants to become the Lockwood Family’s Young Madam!"

Then, Evelyn added another sentence: "However, Miss Dunn, since you want to be a Young Madam, why would you do things detrimental to the Lockwood Family? Do you want to marry my husband purely for money?"

Listening to Evelyn, Caden Lockwood’s eyes conveyed strong approval.

If Evelyn had pleaded for Shannon Dunn, he would have given her a stern lesson.

Fortunately, she’s not a foolish woman who can’t discern right from wrong!

Especially now, the indifferent aura she exudes quite resembles his own style!

Caden Lockwood felt a surge of gratification in his heart and turned to Shannon Dunn, his voice cold: "Want to be my wife, Shannon Dunn? Who gave you the confidence to think I would be interested in you?"

Confronted by Caden Lockwood’s question, Shannon Dunn felt as if she had been slapped hard, the pain stinging.

The sarcasm in Caden Lockwood’s words made Shannon Dunn wish to turn and leave.

But she couldn’t.

She had to stay!

She couldn’t completely block her path into the Lockwood Family!

Caden Lockwood held Evelyn tighter, opened his thin lips slightly: "My wife is beautiful, smart, kind, and decent. Self-respecting and self-loving, I was attracted to her at first sight."

Hearing Caden Lockwood’s praise, Evelyn’s cheeks flushed red.

Caden Lockwood continued to speak: "There are always some women who think that having a pretty face allows them to marry into wealth. There are so many beautiful women in the world; without any substance, relying solely on looks, they can only become playthings, a laughing stock, and hope to be someone respectable?"

"Mr. Lockwood, you..."

"Shannon Dunn!" Caden Lockwood sternly interrupted Shannon Dunn, "Think about what you should do next!"

Shannon Dunn’s face turned from green to pale, Caden Lockwood’s words piercing her heart like sharp daggers.

Trembling gently, her eyes welled up, but she stood her ground, still with an unyielding posture.

She was unwilling to accept this.

How did Caden Lockwood find out about those matters?

Evelyn covertly observed Caden Lockwood, finally realizing that when he was angry with her, he indeed held back a lot.

Now, towards Shannon Dunn, he left no face at all!

Evelyn couldn’t help but touch her neck, thinking that with a man as strong as Caden Lockwood, she should definitely avoid provoking him in the future!

However, seeing the always arrogant Shannon Dunn, who acted as if all good things should come her way, now with a completely dejected expression, Evelyn had to admit, she was quite pleased inside.

As it is, Shannon Dunn should completely give up on Caden Lockwood!

Evelyn secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On this day, both Shannon Dunn and Eleanor Keaton, those two rivals, had been dealt with; only Jessica Rhodes remained.

Thinking of Jessica Rhodes, Evelyn couldn’t help but recall Yvonne Rhodes, and her heart, which had returned to its place, unconsciously jumped to her throat.
