Chapter 138

Derek narrowed his eyes at Michael. "You went to her place? Did you go to see Evelyn because of the Hotel incident? I hope you confronted her about drugging you?" he asked, his voice laced with hope. "Why are you bringing that up right now?" Michael asked in dismay, annoyed that Derek was talking about it in front of his Mom even though he had told him that he didn't want their mothers to know.

Derek leaned forward, his voice tense. "You are the one who brought Evelyn up. I'm just asking a question. By the way, Sandra, why didn't you tell me what Evelyn did to you?" Derek asked with a concerned frown, startling Sandra, who had not expected that subject to be brought up. Mrs. Stone looked between them, confused. "What are you talking about, Derek?" She asked, wondering what game Derek was playing. "It's nothing, Aunt," Michael said, not wanting Derek to talk about it.

Derek didn't hesitate. "You won't believe that Evelyn drugged Sandra and Michael. She took pictures of them together in bed to frame them. And Michael's refusing to do anything about it."

Michael cler clenched his fists, glaring at at Derek. "Why are you bringing this up?"

"You brought her up first. I thought you were ready to talk about it," Derek snapped. "Didn't I tell you that if you were not going to do anything about it, I would?"

Mrs. Stone turned her gaze to Michael, her expression serious. "Is that true? Did Evelyn do that to you?" she asked, looking from Michael to Sandra and then back again.

Michael shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He didn't want to talk about it, but Derek spoke up again, explaining the situation in detail to their mother as Michael had told him.

Sandra couldn't help feeling trapped. She looked down at her plate as Derek spoke, wondering how to approach this without exposing herself.

Mrs. Stone's eyes widened when Derek was done. "And you're not arresting her, Michael? Why?" She asked, even though she still couldn't understand why Derek was doing this when she knew he cared about Evelyn.

No. This is
