Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 164 164: The target is just not you

"Brother Stefan, at least you trust me. I've been framed, and I need a way out of this mess," Eveline continued, hoping Stefan would trust her.

After Gabriel turned his back on her, she felt helpless, but then she knew there was only one person who would trust her: Stefan.

"Are you kidding me, Eve? How can I not? I know you are innocent," Stefan replied, embracing her in a brotherly hug.

"You stupid girl, how can you possibly think I will not trust you? I believe in everything you say, Eveline," he whispered, giving her a sense of relief as they pulled back.

"Tell me what I should do for you," he asked, eager to assist her in finding the offender.

"Not much because I have traced the ID and discovered that the picture was leaked from one of the college's computers. The IP addresses matched Aspen's address; therefore, there is only one thing left: breach the surveillance and locate the person behind it."

Stefan could not help but be impressed by Eveline's intelligence. He had been teaching her skills, and to his amazement, she turned out to be far more than he expected.

"Okay, leave that for me to figure out," he guaranteed.

Eveline felt more at ease now that Stefan was beside her, but the light in her eyes faded as Gabriel's words and the way he looked at her crossed her mind.

She had to prove her innocence to him. She couldn't bear the expression of contempt in his eyes toward her.

"By the way, that girl, what's her name? Ah, Tiffany. Why would she admit that she knew the truth?" Stefan questioned, pulling Eveline from her thoughts.

Eveline blinked her eyes, clearing her hazy mind, and smiled uncomfortably.

"That was just an assumption that turned out to be incorrect," Eveline added, regretting ever doubting Tiffany in the first place.

Stefan pinched his brow, still refusing to accept making sense for her comments.

"Still, I recommend that you keep your distance from her. Every since you became friends with her, I've been getting shaddy vibes from her," he said bluntly.

Tiffany's closeness to Eveline was not liked by him, but he did not want to prevent Eveline from making friends because she had few outside of them.

"You're taking it wrong, brother Stefan. Tiffany isn't hideous; in fact, she's a nice girl who genuinely cares about and understands me. I recommend that you also speak with her. She makes a good friend."

Stefan nodded in understanding, without paying any attention to what she said. He disliked overly nice girls, and Tiffany was one of them.
