Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1024 Rita's Concern

Evelyn was bored at the Wrenn Residence. However, she was also constantly worried because she was afraid Sasha would get caught. What if she rats me out? Siobhan says she trusts me, but if Sasha says I have something to do with this matter, how am I going to explain myself?

While she was lost in thought, her phone rang, startling her so much that her heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed her phone and saw it was a call from Siobhan.

Still feeling a little guilty, Evelyn clutched her phone and mentally prepared herself before answering her phone.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Evelyn tried to keep her tone sounding calm.

"Your grandma's birthday is in two weeks, so stay at home and lay low until she comes over. I've already prepared a gift and other things in your place."

Siobhan's voice sounded a little cold.

Meanwhile, Evelyn felt relieved because she thought Siobhan called to talk about Nicole's incident. She smiled and nodded. "Okay. I understand, Mom."

After that, Siobhan didn't say anything more and hung up.

While Evelyn looked at her phone, her eyes dimmed a little.

She and Rita didn't have a close relationship because she had spent most of her time abroad and would only visit the Gould Residence during Rita's birthday.

Rita had three children, and they all had quite a few children. So, every time Evelyn went there, she would only be on the sidelines.

At first, Evelyn was well-behaved, but once, she wore a custom-designed dress to Rita's birthday, and a waiter accidentally spilled wine all over her. Since her dress was hard to get, she instantly blew her top at the waiter.

In the end, Rita noticed that scene and criticized her for having no manners in public.

Since then, she and Rita no longer saw each other eye to eye, but Rita was her elder, so she had to maintain their relationship on the surface.

Moreover, she was no longer the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Wrenn Family and might get kicked out of the Wrenn Family if she misbehaved. Therefore, she could only tread even more carefully. However, Rita had always liked Nicole, so she must also be attending Rita's birthday.

A sly glint flashed inside Evelyn's eyes as she felt that since Nicole was now regarded as the real "eldest daughter of the Wrenn Family," if she didn't do anything, her identity would be snatched away from her. Rita liked Nicole so much, so she must do something to humiliate Nicole before Rita.

A light appeared inside Evelyn's eyes as she suddenly thought of a plan. She smiled, thinking, Nicole, I'm going to make sure you become the 'star of the show' at the banquet.

Nicole had been recuperating in the hospital for over half a month. Her body was slowly recovering, and she was lucky she was still in the early stages of her pregnancy because the miscarriage didn't cause any substantial damage.

When Rita heard that Nicole was getting discharged, she rushed over, saying she had come to check up on Nicole.

Nicole assured Rita that she was fine, but Rita seemed to have found out from somewhere that Evelyn had something to do with this. So, she held Nicole's hand and promised, "Nicole, don't you worry. I will get you justice. If Evelyn does have something to do with this, I won't let Siobhan cover for her."

When Nicole heard that, she felt touched because she and Rita hadn't known each other for long, but Rita had always taken her side.

Tears uncontrollably appeared inside Nicole's eyes as she spoke in a choked voice. "Thank you, Old Mrs. Gould, but the truth has yet to be found, and no one can prove that Evelyn had a hand in this. So let's just forget it."
