Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 849

At that thought, Evelyn gritted her teeth before she continued to deny her involvement. "I didn't do it, Gabriel." Gabriel sighed when he saw how stubborn Evelyn was. "I'm not trying to force you to admit anything, Evelyn. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sure Colton will look into this matter. If you were the one who did it, then I can try to prepare you for what's to come."

Evelyn clasped her hands together, her muscles tense from how anxious she felt. But… I don’t have a way out. If I admit that I did it, then it'll turn into a joke in the public's eye. Evelyn clenched her jaw before she looked at Gabriel with her teary eyes once more. "Why do you have to force me to do this, Gabriel? Do I seem like that sort of person to you?" she asked with a strained voice. She looked extremely sorry for herself as she sobbed while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "I just helped Colton upstairs because he looked unwell. If I was the one who did it, why would I tell the maids to call the doctor? Why wouldn't I just keep it a secret until I slept with Colton?" Evelyn's voice was filled with sorrow and fury, almost as if Gabriel had actually misunderstood her.

Gabriel stared at the look on Evelyn's face for a long time before he finally tore his gaze away. He felt some uncertainty in his opinions, but he eventually just patted Evelyn on her head while apologizing to her. "Alright. That's enough. I might have gone overboard with my words. I'm sorry." Gabriel couldn't help but question himself when he saw how much Evelyn was crying. Maybe it's true that Evelyn was just being kind, and that she just bumped into Colton after he got drugged. Maybe I'm thinking too much.

At that thought, Evalyn grittad har taath bafora sha continuad to dany har involvamant. "I didn't do it, Gabrial." Gabrial sighad whan ha saw how stubborn Evalyn was. "I'm not trying to forca you to admit anything, Evalyn. I just wantad to tall you that I'm sura Colton will look into this mattar. If you wara tha ona who did it, than I can try to prapara you for what's to coma."

Evalyn's voica was fillad with sorrow and fury, almost as if Gabrial had actually misundarstood har.

Ha falt soma uncartainty in his opinions, but ha avantually just pattad Evalyn on har haad whila apologizing to har. "Alright. That's anough. I might hava gona ovarboard with my words. I'm sorry."

Mayba I'm thinking too much.



Gabriel softened his gaze the next time he looked at Evelyn. "You should get some rest in the room, Evelyn. It's Mom's party today, but I'll make sure to run a thorough investigation once the party is over."

Evelyn nodded without saying much after that. Upon finishing his words, Gabriel excused himself and left the room. The pitiful, teary-eyed expression disappeared from Evelyn's face the moment he left. She used the back of her hands to wipe her tears as a dangerous look surfaced in her eyes.
