Chapter 531

Since there were no other options, Julia had no choice but to find her subordinate, Celina."Alright, I'm at the beauty salon right now. Do you want to come pick up the keys, or should I bring them to you?"Celina already knew about Julia's release without charge. Though she was stuck in a mess, she did not want to stoop to their level.Holding onto the hope of staying as far away as possible, she continued running her beauty salon with the same care as always."Come over. You can give me a ride too. Oh, and tomorrow, arrange a car for me. It's too inconvenient without one."Celina could only agree to Julia's orders.However, the thought of doing something she was unwilling to do sent a sharp pain through her stomach, the ache growing worse by the second.After hanging up, she clutched her stomach and painfully made her way out of the treatment room, only to find David still standing there."Why haven't you left yet?"David was too focused on her pale face and the way she was

The day of execution was in mere hours. How could Evangeline fall asleep during such a tense time?"Mrs. Lewis…"Evangeline choked up, her eyes brimming with tears. The emotions that had been bottled up in her heart were finally released, like a dam that had burst open, flooding uncontrollably.Tears streamed down her cheeks as she asked Julieta helplessly, "Do you think I've made a mistake?"Her mother had died unjustly, and she was determined to seek justice for her. Justice had been served at long last, yet she was about to send her own father to the guillotine.On one side was her mother; on the other, her father. How could she choose in a way that would leave her with no regrets?Seeing Evangeline break down, Julieta could not help but feel moved.

It was only a matter of time."Juliet

"Hah! Alright, then. You truly are something else, Evangeline!"Andrew's condescending attitude was met with a sharp rebuttal. He was furious, but since Evangeline's words were reasonable, he could only hold his anger.Looking at her father, Evangeline felt the last sliver of hope for him vanish completely. She wiped away the tears that had unknowingly fallen from her eyes, cleared her throat, and asked, "Has Julia… come to see you?"She knew, from childhood until now, Andrew's favorite daughter had always been Julia. Surely, in his final moments, the one he thought of the most would be her.Unexpectedly, the mention of Julia touched the last soft spot in Andrew's heart. His once arrogant face instantly grew despondent. He did not say a word, but that reaction alone was enough for Evangeline to know the answer.Julia would not come to see him, even in his dying moments.Was this the daughter he had cherished and protected until the very end?Evangeline could not quite describe t

"When did you come in?"Evangeline had been so engrossed in her conversation with Andrew that she had not even noticed Walter entering the room.This was an important day, and Evangeline had planned to face it alone. She had not expected Walter to show up so early and insist on entering the room with her.Evangeline had flatly refused, but he reminded her that they had not divorced yet, and he was still technically Andrew's son-in-law. Reluctantly, she had to let him come in with her.When she began speaking to Andrew, Walter had waited outside.Walter's dark eyes narrowed. "I just came in a moment ago. I saw you talking with Andrew and didn't want to interrupt. Visiting hours are over now. We should leave." He reached out his arm to help her out."Alright, thank you," Evangeline replied coolly, her steps quickening to move past him, avoiding his arm entirely as she walked out of the visitation room. She left Andrew and Walter behind, staring at each other.Almost involuntaril

David knew how important Evangeline was, so he immediately rushed after her. "Ma'am, don't you want to wait for Mr. Gordon? He should be back soon."After all, Andrew had no real connection with Walter. What could a son-in-law and father-in-law have so much to talk about?However, Evangeline was thinking about something else entirely.Before his death, Andrew had repeatedly urged her to give Walter to Julia. Since he finally had the chance to speak with Walter, how could he not want to say it directly to the main person involved?"No, they'll probably have a lot to talk about. I need to head over to Sunny Glow Beauty Salon for a facial, so I'll go now."Evangeline smiled meaningfully, no longer paying attention to David, and walked away without a second thought.Sunny Glow Beauty Salon?"Ma'am, didn't Mr. Gordon say he wanted you to go somewhere else for your facial?" asked David in confusion. He could not figure out what Celina was thinking, and since Celina was likely Julia's

Evangeline elegantly waved the VIP card in her hand, her smile poised and graceful.The receptionist immediately covered her mouth in embarrassment. "I'm terribly sorry.""It's fine. Since I haven't been here since I got the card, it's only natural that you wouldn't recognize me," Evangeline reassured her, offering the receptionist an excuse.In truth, at a high-end salon like this, failing to remember clients and not providing them with a flawless experience was a significant oversight. Of course, Evangeline was not really concerned about this, so she did not mind how the receptionist behaved.The receptionist gave a grateful smile and quickly took the VIP card from Evangeline's hand, gesturing for her to follow. "Please, come with me."When the card was swiped, the machine gave a soft 'ding', and Evangeline's name appeared on the screen.The receptionist enthusiastically continued her pitch about their latest products."Ma'am, I see that the service you purchased last time was

Little did she know, Celina found Evangeline's sudden trust in her unbelievable."Ms. Rearden, do you... really trust me?"After all, she was on Julia's side. She knew all too well what Julia had planned for Evangeline next."Of course. A woman's face is half her life. I've entrusted you with half my life, so how could I not trust you?" replied Evangeline with a gentle smile.Between life and death, she handed herself over to Celina with such ease.Celina was a gentle and kind-hearted person. Evangeline had once seen her carefully tending to the water lilies in her beauty salon. A woman who was so patient with plants, treating them like children, could never be the type to intentionally harm others.So, she chose to trust her."Well, I'm truly honored," Celina smiled. "Since you trust me so much, leave your face entirely to me. I see your skin is a bit dull; let me try out a new product from our salon on you…"Gently taking Evangeline's hand, Celina carefully began her work.Wh

What Evangeline did not know was that just as she walked out of the salon, Celina sent David a message.[Are you outside?]Following Walter's orders, David secretly watched over Evangeline until he personally saw her return to the villa at the Emerald of the Highlands.So, when he found out that Evangeline had come to the salon for a facial, he followed her there. He was a regular at the salon, and he trusted that Celina would recognize his car and would not do anything to Evangeline.Relieved, he quietly waited outside.Just as his attention was focused on Evangeline, who was about to walk out of the salon, his phone pinged with a new message.

Evangeline could not understand why David was so interested in the handkerchief, but she did not dwell on it. She casually handed it over."This was a gift from Ms. Morris. Is there something special about it?"David took the handkerchief and unfolded it. In the middle of the white cloth, a silver needle gleamed, its image stark and clear.A memory suddenly flashed through David's mind, recalling the last message Celina had sent him.'Do you remember the gift I gave you when we first met?''I do. It was a silver needle.'Celina had deliberately reminded him of this as he gazed at the handkerchief with the same silver needle design in Evangeline's possession.What did this imply? It was likely that Celina was trying to warn him!The next target of the person behind all of this could very well be… Evangeline!Realizing this, all the color drained from David's face.If he reported this to his boss, telling him that he suspected Evangeline might be in danger because of a handkerc
