Revenge Of The Rogue Heiress novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 

The person on the bed remained motionless. Evangeline let out bitter smile.. 

About an hour later, she stood up and said, “Naomi, you rest well I’ll come to see you next time.” With a longing gaze at Naomi, she turned to leave. 

As she walked out of the lab, she saw Dexter leaning against the car door, staring blankly at the sky. 

She walked over to him, but he didn’t notice. 

“What are you thinking about?” She patted him on the shoulder 

Dexter snapped back to reality, and his expression instantly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. 

A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, “Nothing much. Got lost in the beauty of the sky.” 

Evangeline didn’t press further. As she opened the passenger door and got in, she said, “Let’s go home. You’ve been out for so long; Mom and Dad must be worried sick. Go back and let them know you’re safe.” 

Dexter nodded, got into the car, and drove himself. 

The car moved slowly along the road. An hour later, it entered a sprawling grand manor, larger than some parks. 

The manor featured all kinds of rare and valuable plants, as well as rockeries and lakes. 

The car drove through the manor for more than ten minutes before stopping in front of a luxurious villa. 

A few bodyguards standing outside quickly came over to open the car door as they recognized the familiar vehicle. 

“Welcome home, Ms. Castillo and Mr. Johnson.” The servants inside the villa also hurried out to greet the noise. 

Evangeline and Dexter got out of the car and walked into the villa.

It was already evening, and Bradley and Laura had just returned from work and were resting in the living room. Evangeline and Dexter walked into the living room. 

“Dad, Mom, we’re back,” Evangeline said softly. 

Bradley and Laura were both in their early forties, but they were well–preserved and looked like they were in their thirties. Bradley was tall and stern, exuding the authority of a man in power, while Laura was elegant and poised, clearly from a distinguished family. 

Dexter sat directly on the sofa and pulled Evangeline to sit down beside him before handing her a mint from the table. Bradley and Laura kept their eyes on Dexter. 

Seeing his laid–back demeanor, Laura felt a bit displeased and said, “Why can’t you act properly? You come home without even greeting your parents!” 

Her words were reproachful, but her eyes were full of joy and affection. Having missed her son during his absence, she found him even more outstanding than before. 

Bradley sternly said, “How could you forget your basic manners after just a short trip?” 

Dexter replied indifferently, “I learned it from you.”

Bradley and Laura frowned. 

Dexter contlined. “When Evangeline greeted you, you ignored her. Your manners aren’t that great either, so don’t lecture

His parents faces darkened a little. But they were reasonable people and knew they were in the wrong, so they didn’t scold Dester hither. 

Laurs looked at Evangeline and smiled. “Evangeline, we ignored you just now because we were too happy. Both your father and I are very happy that you and Dexter returned.” 

Evangeline responded softly, “I understand, Mom. You don’t need to explain. I don’t blame you.” 

You are just too kind, which is why you always get bullied, Dexter snorted. 

Laura scolded. You brat, you’re making it sound like we’ve bullied Evangeline.” 

Dexter glanced at her and said, “I know you never beat or scolded her, but emotional neglect is still a form of bullying. If you had treated her better, she wouldn’t have returned to the Gallagher residence and suffered there. 

Then in anger, he thought to himself, ‘And she wouldn’t have been separated from me for so long! 

Bradley and Laura looked upset. Evangeline pinched Dexter’s arm, signaling him to stop talking. Then she said to Bradley and Laura, “Mom, Dad, don’t listen to Dexter. It was my own choice to go back to the Gallagher residence; it had nothing to do with anyone else.” 

Bradley and Laura, having been given an out, didn’t pursue the matter further. 

Bradley changed the topic and told Evangeline seriously, “You shouldn’t have hidden from us that you were participating in that foreign variety show. Even though you’re not our biological daughter, you’ve been formally adopted by us. Everything you say and do affects our family’s reputation. 

“Your actions in the show ‘Jungle Survival‘ are relatively mild and won’t attract much criticism or cause any issues, but your actions in Xtreme Survival‘ could lead to endless trouble if scrutinized closely.” 

The Johnson family’s special status, stemming from its cooperation with certain national departments, meant that any illegal activities from a family member could spell trouble. 

Before Evangeline could respond, Dexter said, “The show was filmed abroad, and my sister adhered to the laws of that country. Are you planning to pursue cross–border convictions? Using Clusia’s laws to punish actions that were reasonable and legal in another country?” 

Bradley said, “While it may not lead to prosecution, some people might seize the opportunity to stir up trouble and spread 

rumors.” 

Dexter dismissed it, saying, “That’s their problem. They’re the ones who should reflect on their behavior.” 

Evangeline lowered her gaze and said, “If my actions have affected the Johnson family, I can sever ties with you and leave. 

“The outside world knows I’m a Gallagher, so they won’t link my actions to the you. If anything, they’d associate me with the Gallagher family.” 

Dexter was upset and said matter–of–factly, “If you leave, I’ll leave with you.” 

Bradley’s face flushed and then turned pale. He felt deeply frustrated. 

He couldn’t believe that in Dexter’s mind, they were actually less important than Evangeline. 

Although Laura wasn’t pleased either, she softened her tone to calm her son’s emotions. “Alright, stop saying such foolish
