Chapter 309 Cannot Afford To Offend

+15 Bonus

In the garden of the Ferguson residence, a group of police officers in special uniforms were presenting their identification to Wyatt and Emma, explaining the purpose of their visit.

Eloise rushed to the window. Upon seeing the people from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, she gritted her teeth hatefully. “Gwendolyn, how dare you call the police to arrest me! You’re too despicable!”

Gwendolyn laughed. “What I’m doing is helping the victims to seek justice. I’m not making anything up, so I think the word ‘despicable‘ is better suited for you.”

Eloise trembled all over. Only at that moment did she register fear. It doesn’t matter if the Ferguson family goes bankrupt. We can always rise again. However, if I go to jail, I’ll be done for, doomed to be tormented and suffer a fate worse than death. I must escape! I cannot sit idly by and wait for my doom. Evelyn will definitely help me!

“Just you wait, Gwendolyn!” Eloise figured there was still time for her to escape via the back door of the villa.

However, Gwendolyn grasped her wrist and skillfully immobilized her.

“So naive. Do you think you can get away when the people from the Federal Bureau of Investigation are already here? If you really don’t want to be imprisoned, I can consider helping you as long as you tell me Evelyn’s true identity.”

Eloise replied mockingly, “Aren’t you very capable? I’m surprised there are people whose background you can’t find out.”

“It seems like you’re closely acquainted with her, willing to go to jail than betray her. Off you go, then.”

Gwendolyn let go of the woman’s hand indifferently. Eloise spun on her heels and tried to escape, but the police had already dashed up the stairs, blocking the door of the room. They walked in aggressively and swiftly handcuffed Eloise before taking her away.

Eloise struggled desperately as the police pushed her out of the room. She glared back at Gwendolyn, her gaze filling with resentment. “Gwendolyn, Evelyn is someone you cannot afford to offend! You’ll never win against her. I’ll be waiting to see your downfall!”

She blatantly expressed her intense hatred for Gwendolyn, seemingly implying something with the last part of her sentence,

Gwendolyn remained silent, watching as Eloise, who was baring her teeth at her, was forcibly taken away by the police.

She looked around Eloise’s room and finally saw a photo album in the drawer of her dressing table.

When she opened it, there was a photo of Eloise and Evelyn standing at the entrance of Flans University.

Gwendolyn stared solemnly at the photo featuring Evelyn, who was wearing a radiant smile.

The familiar feeling washed over her again.

When Gwendolyn first met Evelyn, she felt something was off with the latter, especially since Evelyn knew about her past in Fairlake.

Now that she thought about it, it seemed Evelyn had deliberately revealed her close relationship with Eloise to her. What exactly is Evelyn playing at?

When Gwendolyn exited the Ferguson residence, Eloise had already been escorted into the car by the police.

Wyatt and Emma were speaking to a man whose back was facing Gwendolyn, seemingly pleading for leniency. Emma even appeared to be on the verge of crying.

Looking at the back of the man dressed in military attire, which resembled Charles‘, Gwendolyn calmly strode over.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Craig turned around to gaze at her, his eyes twinkling with a trace of cheerfulness. “Do you still remember me, Ms. Harris?”

Craig’s eyes and brows were strikingly similar to Charles, but when he grinned, his amber eyes seemed more piercing than the latter’s.
