Chapter 472 Evelina Was Framed

Evelina's face darkened; Karen had clearly lost all sense of shame.

"Is something wrong?" Cordelia asked.

"I'm going out for a bit." Evelina grabbed her coat and headed out.

"Victor, go with her," Cordelia said, feeling uneasy. She asked Victor to drive Evelina. Victor nodded and followed Evelina.

At the hotel, Alex's breathing was rapid, and he irritably tugged at his tie. Something was off with the drinks tonight.

He had attended a social meal hosted by some business partners from San Francisco. But he hadn't expected Karen to be there.

Word was that Karen was now managing the Wilson Group. Benjamin seemed to have found true love and was willing to give up his managerial role in the company to divorce Karen.

Alex didn't expect someone to drug his drink.

"Alex, open the door. I know you're in there," Karen cried from outside.

"I just want to talk to you about Evan. He's our son. He refuses to go to the hospital, and his leg injury has worsened. The doctors say it needs to be amputated. He's so distressed that he's on a hunger strike and threatening suicide. Please, Alex, come back and see him."

Alex rubbed his temples in frustration. He knew that if he opened the door, he would make a mistake.

His last bit of rationality led him to call Evelina. However, he was barely holding on.

A few days ago, he went to the Wilson family to see Evan with Evelina, but Karen found various excuses for refusing them.

Evan hadn't shown up either, and Alex had thought Evan didn't want to see him.

How could his leg injury suddenly worsen to the point of needing amputation?

"Alex, open the door," Karen persisted, sounding a bit impatient.

Clearly, she had known the timing of the drug's effect and stopped pounding on the door or expecting Alex to open it himself.

Instead, she had the hotel staff unlock the door.

At this critical moment, as long as she and Alex had any substantial interaction, the media would report it, and combined with Evan's situation, Alex would surely soften towards her.

As for Evelina...

Karen sneered and turned to her subordinate. "Did Alex call Evelina when he entered?"

"Yes," the subordinate replied. "It seems the Cunningham family has already answered.

Evelina only brought a driver with her; she must be coming to see Alex."

Karen laughed. "Ridiculous!"
