Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 382

Chapter 382 382: Valeria Lee

After talking with Jonathan, Eveline walked into her room and freshened up. Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, her phone rang.

Eveline furrowed her brows when she saw Ella's name on the screen. Without hesitation, she answered.

"Mom called," Ella said, her words momentarily freezing Eveline in place.

"And?" Eveline prompted.

"And she apologized for being rude," Ella replied. Eveline let out a breath and walked over to sit on the bed.

"We all knew she was putting on an act for Jedrick. There's no way Aunt Mischelle would ever turn her back on you," Eveline stated matter-of-factly.

"Yes, that's true. But do you know how he got her to marry him? He used her trauma against her. He threatened her," Ella revealed.

She hadn't been able to ask more before Mischelle abruptly ended the call. But one thing was certain...Jedrick had the audacity to anger her even more than he already had.

"So, what's next? How do we get Aunt Mischelle out of this? And how do we figure out what Jedrick is up to?" Eveline asked.

Ella thought for a moment. She had hoped to speak with her mother more, but Mischelle's sudden departure had left her with more questions than answers.

"I don't think I can ask Mom anything. She's at her weakest when threatened. Jedrick managed to get her on his side with a lie, and if I ask her to keep an eye on him, I doubt she'll be able to find anything."

Eveline nodded in agreement. "But why would he marry your mother? What's his purpose?" she asked.
