Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1088 No Longer His Sister

Evelyn's heart was racing anxiously when she saw the solemn look on Gabriel's face. She hesitated for a moment before following him out of the room.

The hallway was silent as Evelyn kept her head low as she glanced at Gabriel. Her fingers twisted together anxiously as her voice trembled with unease.

"What is it, Gabriel?"

He looked at the little sister he had grown up with as Queenie's words echoed in his mind. Suddenly, he realized the sister he was looking at felt like a stranger to him.

When did Evelyn turn into someone who would do anything to get what she wanted?

"Queenie has been arrested along with the men involved. All of them have been brought to the police station," he calmly stated while keeping his black eyes trained on her face. As expected, there was a glimpse of nerves in her eyes.

She clenched her hands into fists. The men she had hired were all violent criminals. They would not sell her out since they would only be sentenced to a few days of imprisonment. Queenie, on the other hand, was an uncertain factor. That foolish woman would surely spill her guts.

She had not expected Colton and Gabriel to find Nicole so soon. Hence, she did not have the time to threaten Queenie to stop her from babbling.

"I…" She opened her mouth to explain herself, but no words came to mind.

He frowned. His voice deepened as he hoarsely barked out, "Why would you do this, Evelyn?"

Her eyes shimmered with tears as she sniffled. Her voice started choking up as she spoke, "You know of my love for Colton, Gabriel. I told myself to give up on him, to forget about him, but I just can't. I just can't do it. I love him. I can't bear to see him with another woman."

He coldly watched the obsessed woman in front of him as he said, "Mom took the blame when you caused Nicole's miscarriage last time. She nearly cut off all ties with Nicole. Whom are you hoping to take the blame this time?"

Tears streamed down her cheeks when she heard his interrogating questions. Her voice faltered as she clutched at his sleeves with a pitiful look on her face.

"I know I am in the wrong, Gabriel. Help me. I don't want to go to prison. If I am imprisoned, my entire life would be ruined."

He felt no sympathy when he saw her miserable state. After prying her hands away, he icily said, "You did this, so you have to bear the consequences."

Seeing that he truly did not plan to help her, she started to panic. She frantically moved closer and said, "If you don't help me, I'll truly be thrown into prison. P-Please, help me."
