The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 515

Gwyneth definitely didn't want that man driving her home.

Just looking at him, you could tell he wasn't the friendly type. Best to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Mom, I really did run into some trouble today. But Gwyn saved me if it hadn't been for her, even if Uncle had come to pick me up, it might've been too late."

Leonie Everhart had already caught on to what Hawthorne was thinking. She was afraid he'd take Gwyneth away somewhere to interrogate her.

Honestly, her uncle was a good man, just a little too overprotective of the Everhart family. It wasn't just her-her brother, who was already in his twenties and running his own business, still had to put up with Uncle's constant surveillance.

Every time she and her brother came home, seeing their uncle was like a pair of mice spotting a cat.

"Oh my goodness, what happened? Did you run into someone dangerous?"

Mrs. Everhart was pale with worry, and Mr. Everhart looked just as alarmed.

Even though their daughter was back safe and sound, standing right in front of them, they couldn't hide their anxiety.

"It's alright, really. See? I'm perfectly fine. Last night, Gwyn and I went hiking, and it got dark before we could make it back. I couldn't see where I was going, and if Gwyn hadn't grabbed me just in time, I would've fallen and hurt myself."

She lied through her teeth, sneaking a glance at her uncle's warning gaze, then quickly looking away in guilt.

Her uncle clearly wanted to take Gwyneth aside and question her. People he took away like that rarely showed up again.
