Chapter 1701 A Failure in Relationships
“I’m tired, Louie. I’m going back to sleep.” Julian stood up and left the room. Louie picked up his phone. After
finding Linda’s number, he sent her a text message, asking, ‘How is she?’
‘President Gilmore, it seems that Eva is quite shaken. She’s afraid of being alone now,’ Linda texted back. ‘Call me if
anything happens,’ Louie replied. He also became worried, fearing that Eva might’ve been terribly shaken this time.
Meanwhile, Jessie returned to her room to hear Lexie chatting in the gossip chat group. Upon seeing the former,
the latter asked, “Jessie, is President Gilmore here as well?”
“How did you know that?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLexie looked eager for more gossip. “I’ve got a tip. Not only that, but I know that he’s here for Eva. The rumors are
indeed credible; it’s rumored that he’s been courting her, though it’s not successful.”
Jessie had learned even more about this today, but she couldn’t share it with Lexie anymore. The matter between
Eva and Louie shouldn’t be the subject of gossip, she thought.
Just then, Lexie leaned her head over and asked, “Jessie, I’ve heard that you and Young Master Julian are gonna do
a kissing scene tomorrow. Are you looking forward to it?”
Jessie’s pretty face reddened at once. “Why would I? I’m afraid that I’ll botch it.”
“Don’t worry! I’m sure you’ll do a fine job of it with Young Master Julian acting opposite you. I hear that he used
doubles in all his intimate scenes in the past, which were all shot from a long distance. This time, he’s gonna do the
scene himself with you!”
Jessie’s face was blushing scarlet. “Alright, let’s drop the subject. I’m going back to my room to sleep.”
“Goodnight.” Lexie waved goodnight to her before proceeding to gossip with others.
It was well past midnight, and the entire city had quieted down; almost everyone had gone off to dreamland. Eva
was lying asleep in bed, while Linda dragged a sofa over to her bedside to accompany her.
When it was almost one in the morning, Eva suddenly began flailing her arms in her sleep. “Go away… Stay away
from me, and stop harassing me… I never betrayed you…”
“What’s wrong with you, Eva? Are you having nightmares?” Linda was startled. Seeing how Eva was unable to wake
from her nightmare with her forehead covered in a cold sweat, she was somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Consequently, she picked up the phone and dialed Louie’s number.
As expected, the phone call was quickly answered on the other end. “Hello, what’s the matter?”

“Open the door for me,” the man ordered before hanging up.
Linda raced to the door and opened it, after which Louie quickly strode in and entered the master bedroom, where
Eva was clutching her quilt on the white sheets. Strands of sweat-soaked hair were sticking to her forehead, while
tears rolled out of her tightly shut eyes as she seemed to be in fear of someone. She mumbled, “Stay away from
me! I’m not scared of you…” Finally, she called out a name in fright. “Don’t harass me anymore, Tucker. I promise
you… that I won’t go out with him.”
Louie’s dashing eyebrows instantly furrowed at these words. He remembered that Eva had seen Tucker in the
latter’s dying moments. Could it be that Tucker, in his dying moments, told her not to go out with me? Did he curse
or say something like that?
