Right after he heard Evelyn's words, he exploded in wrath. At Evelyn, he bellowed, "Evelyn Morrison, aren't you sick of this already?"
Of their many years of friendship, this was the first time Hunter had shouted at her. For a moment, Evelyn was dumbfounded. By the time she came back to her senses, she was enraged and embarrassed.
"Why are you shouting at me?" Evelyn screamed at him, feeling humiliated by his words.
Until now, she thought Hunter was her admirer. That was why she always felt superior whenever Hunter was around. Evelyn could not take it when she realized how rude he was to her a moment ago.
"Are you actually asking me why I'm shouting at you? Don't you know how harmful this is to Vivian? How can you do this to a girl?"
Although he knew Evelyn had been coming up with ways to deal with Vivian, the plan she told him earlier still stunned him with how ruthless she was. He could not believe that she could actually think of trying to get people to assault and demean Vivian.
"What's wrong? That woman only has herself to blame for this. No one asked her to take Finnick away from me! This is what happens to those who try to take my things from me!"
Evelyn felt that there was nothing wrong with her actions at all. On the other hand, Hunter's agitated reaction rose her suspicion. He always knew she hated Vivian. Didn't he promise to help me deal with Vivian earlier? Why is he shouting at me because of her now?
Suspiciously staring at Hunter, Evelyn hissed, "Didn't you say you're going to help me deal with her? Why are you siding with her now? Have you fallen in love with that b*tch?"
"Can you be more civilized when you speak? Have some awareness of how you're presenting yourself!" When Hunter heard the way Evelyn was addressing Vivian, he sincerely felt that not only was the woman vicious, but she was also uncultured. I must have been blind to have fallen in love with someone like her back then.
