Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 638

Siobhan closed her eyes, for her good-for-nothing daughter was giving her a headache.

After letting out a breath, she opened her eyes and gaped at Evelyn. "Do you know that what you've done is utterly ridiculous? The vaccines are meant to save lives. By dropping poison in them, you'll kill others. If people die because of it, do you think Wrenn Corporation and Gardner Corporation will get away with it? The vaccines were co-developed by both corporations."

Evelyn hadn't expected the matter to be so severe. However, she never dropped any poison; she only told Natalie to put some sort of drug that would cause discomfort.

Just when she was ready to explain herself, she lifted her gaze and saw that her mother looked visibly disappointed. Feeling heartbroken, she bit her lip.

Siobhan was disheartened. There was nothing else she wanted to say to her daughter. A moment later, she said in a hushed voice, "Although you won't be formally prosecuted as you'll only be detained for seven days, news of what you've done has spread around. You'll no longer be considered a member of the social elite. Take this opportunity to reflect on what you've done."

Once Siobhan was done speaking, she directly turned around and left.

After she was gone, Evelyn went limp and sat down on the ground. As she covered her face with her hands, tears streamed from her eyes.

She was totally unresigned.

It's all because of Nicole! It's all her fault! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up in such a state!

Although she would only be detained for seven days, the scandal had become known to everyone. She would never be able to face anyone with dignity.

Her eyes had turned bloodshot, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

…

When he learned that Nicole had handed the report to the prosecutor, Colton promptly looked for her as he was puzzled by her action.

"Why did you let Evelyn off just like that? She was trying to frame you. If she had succeeded, you would've been given a life sentence."

Nicole shrugged. In fact, she wasn't willing to let Evelyn off either, but it wouldn't be a wise decision to clash with the Wrenn Family directly.

"I believe she'll suffer miserably during her time in the detention center. Moreover, she can never use the excuse of having saved you before this to keep pestering you again. That's part of the deal."

Colton was startled; he never expected that she would do him such a favor.

Over the years, he had been putting up with Evelyn just because she had saved his life before.

Upon hearing what Nicole said, he felt somewhat relieved.

Sha was totally unrasignad.

It's all bacausa of Nicola! It's all har fault! If it waran't for har, I wouldn't hava andad up in such a stata!

Although sha would only ba datainad for savan days, tha scandal had bacoma known to avaryona. Sha would navar ba abla to faca anyona with dignity.

Har ayas had turnad bloodshot, and har body tramblad uncontrollably.

…

Whan ha laarnad that Nicola had handad tha raport to tha prosacutor, Colton promptly lookad for har as ha was puzzlad by har action.

"Why did you lat Evalyn off just lika that? Sha was trying to frama you. If sha had succaadad, you would'va baan givan a lifa santanca."

Nicola shruggad. In fact, sha wasn't willing to lat Evalyn off aithar, but it wouldn't ba a wisa dacision to clash with tha Wrann Family diractly.

"I baliava sha'll suffar misarably during har tima in tha datantion cantar. Moraovar, sha can navar usa tha axcusa of having savad you bafora this to kaap pastaring you again. That's part of tha daal."

Colton was startlad; ha navar axpactad that sha would do him such a favor.

Ovar tha yaars, ha had baan putting up with Evalyn just bacausa sha had savad his lifa bafora.

Upon haaring what Nicola said, ha falt somawhat raliavad.

"But what you've done will also alleviate the charges against Pierre. Will he also be detained for seven days only after he's caught?" Colton asked slowly.

Nicole curled up her lips. At the mention of Pierre, her tone turned grim.

"Pierre has committed many crimes, so there's no way I'll let him off. Don't forget that he killed Norman. When we manage to capture him, I'll make sure that he'll be put behind bars for life."

Colton knew that she was furious as she appeared resentful. Pierre had framed White and poisoned Hayden. Any of the crimes he had committed would earn him a place in hell.

With his hand landing on Nicole's back, Colton stroked her and said in a soothing voice, "It's fine. My people are thoroughly searching for Pierre in Lumore. I'm sure he'll never be able to flee."
