Chapter 249

Whenever Evadne showed up, it was as if a tornado had swept through the Abernathy family, leaving nothing but chaos and discord in its wake.

Evadne didn’t have the time or the inclination to explain herself to Hamilton, believing that the truth would eventually come to light.

Besides, she had already had a taste of Cedric’s character from Emeric and Suri. If he could pull strings to get Glynnis out of a sticky situation, it meant he had taken care of any potential threats, Even if she knew that he had framed Kevin, the police had already closed the case and it was not likely to be reopened.

Cedric’s smile could be as charming as a gentleman, but his actions were as treacherous as a snake in the grass.

Hamilton, on the other hand, had no intention of making things difficult for her, After all, he trusted her. He had seen her genuine, golden heart.

And if he couldn’t trust llana, who else could he trust in this world?

Evadne personally wheeled Hamilton back to his room, with Thaddeus following close on her heels like a loyal hound.

She was annoyed and frustrated, but Hamilton seemed contented, his weathered face illuminated with a gratifying smile. He looked rejuvenated, as if the love in the air was a magical elixir giving him a new lease on life.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit you recently. I’ve been really busy. You must be angry with me,” Evadne said, guilt etched on her face.

“Nonsense, dear. Just knowing you care about me is enough.” Hamilton squeezed her hand warmly and glanced at Thaddeus. “You’re young. You should be out socializing, meeting impressive men like Avery. I heard you’ve been acquainted with him. Have you taken a liking to any of them? If so, bring them over. ll help you inspect them.”

Thaddeus’s chest tightened as if a sledgehammer had hit it. Hamilton, sitting in his wheelchair, seemed to be enjoying playing matchmaker, even if it meant risking his precious llana’s heart.

“Grandpa, how do you know about Mr. Avery?” Evadne asked, surprised.
