Chapter 523
Andrew and Lydia were escorted out by the police, and as they passed Evangeline, Andrew shot he a look filled with tears of rage.
“Evangeline, you ungrateful daughter! You betrayed your father! You’ll meet a worse fate than your mothe did!”
Andrew’s shouts echoed throughout the courtroom. Evangeline remained calm, motioning for the officers to pause before taking him away, and replied coolly, “Whether I meet a bad end is anyone’s guess, but you’re the one facing a grim fate.”
Execution by firing squad–it was a brutal way to go.
“Goodbye…”
‘Dad.‘
Evangeline whispered the word “Dad” in her heart. Andrew was her father, and the blood tie made the
death sentence hit hard.
She was glad her mother’s unjust death was finally avenged. However, she was also tom because her father would pay for it with his life. He was her mother’s husband, after all.
She could not bear to think beyond that.
Touching her belly, Evangeliné wondered…
Would her baby resent her? For sending her grandfather to his death, leaving her without someone who might have loved her even before she was born?
However, Evangeline quickly got an answer to that: If Evangeline, Andrew’s daughter, did not get any special love from Andrew, why would his grandchild?
Maybe this was just fate’s way, and was the best possible outcome.
As Evangeline left the courthouse, she crossed paths with Julia, who had just been released.
She was in no mood to talk, but Julia surprised her by speaking first.
“Hey, long time no see!”
Her words felt foreign to Evangeline.
“I’d prefer never seeing you again,” Evangeline retorted with a cold smile, not bothering to spare Julia’s feelings.
Putting aside the older generation’s grudges, Evangeline was not exactly thrilled with her half–sister, who had stolen her husband.
“Yeah, I had hoped so too.”
Julia did not seem to mind at all and said it with a cheerful grin.
She had finally dropped her disguise as Minnie and regained her true identity–Julia.
Chapter 523
“Too bad I’ve been let off the hook now, so we might bump into each other again. After all, Walt and L.
Mentioning Walter made Julia’s cheeks flush. She was obviously hinting to Evangeline that things were getting serious between them,
“And hey, when the time comes, don’t forget to come and bless us!”
Seriously? Her half–sister marrying her ex–husband and even asking her for blessings?
Evangeline listened, thinking Julia must have lost her mind.
Of course, Evangeline knew Julia’s annoying ways inside out, and she was ready to strike back
Her eyes twinkled mischievously as she casually rubbed her belly, “Sure, I’ll bring the child along to wish a lifetime of happiness for the both of you.”
