Mason Cosgrove lifted his glass cup, clinking it with another as a fake smile donned his face, while Eve held his hand, looking like the perfect couple they ought to be. Anyone who had seen them would never have guessed that they had a heated argument before arriving at the charity event. Eve had confronted Mason for recently hardly being at home, accusing him of cheating on her, and Mason, who had just gone through a lot of ordeals including losing his seat as the CEO of the Cosgrove empire, lashed out at her. If not for the little thread of self-control he had left, maybe he would have raised his hands on her.
Eve, who had very much never been shouted at by Mason, could already see the cracks forming in their marriage, and she had begun to resent Mason, coupled with the fact that the Cosgrove family was no longer as prestigious as it once was, and her friends in high society had begun to look at her with disdain, like she was not one of them and she greatly hated it.
