Chapter 588 Cracks Beneath the Calm
In the end, under Evan’s control, the wheelchair slowly rolled toward the door.
Wilda stood up and followed. She kept muttering complaints under her breath. Her voice faded as she walked out, until it disappeared completely.
Only Nora, Hayden, and Phoebe were left in the living room.
Phoebe sat quietly in a corner of the couch. But her eyes never stopped moving. She watched everything -especially the argument between Wilda and Nora and Evan’s reaction.
The moment Wilda left, a quick flash of satisfaction crossed her face. It was hard to notice.
This was her chance.
Phoebe put on a warm, caring smile. She stood up and walked over to Nora. Her voice was soft, almost fragile on purpose.
“Nora, please don’t be upset. Wilda didn’t mean it. She was just angry. Don’t take it to heart.”
As she spoke, she reached out, trying to pat Nora’s shoulder, acting like she truly cared. “She’s only worried about Mason’s future. That’s why she got a little carried away.”
Nora had never liked Phoebe.
The girl looked gentle, but underneath, she was calculating. Nora had always felt she was a hypocrite.
Every time Phoebe came to her house, she would act like she admired Mason. But at the same time, she pretended not to care. It all felt deliberate.
This time was worse. Phoebe had come with Wilda. From beginning to end, she kept stirring things up. With vague, suggestive words, she pushed Wilda to aim more of her anger at Amelia.
Her intentions couldn’t have been more obvious.
A cold smile touched Nora’s lips. Her sharp gaze swept over Phoebe’s kind, understanding face.
“Ms. Jewell, it’s Christmas. Don’t you have your own family to be with? Why come here and get involved in someone else’s business?”
Phoebe’s smile froze. Her eyes quickly filled with tears, making her look even more pitiful.
“Nora, you–you misunderstood…” Her voice trembled as she tried to explain. “I didn’t mean to get involved. Wilda said she felt lonely at home and wanted someone to talk to, so she asked me to come.
But Nora didn’t buy it at all.
She let out a cold snort and ignored Phoebe. Instead, she bent down and spoke gently to Hayden Hayden, your great–grandma and your dad have gone out. Don’t stay here. Go to your room, finish your homework, and get some rest.
