Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 425

Just because her father’s company was involved in the corruption case, they were afraid that they would be implicated.

Pftt! This was the nature of noble families, the instinct of the rich and powerful!

They lived glorious and proud lives, yet deep in their bones, they were filthier and more selfish than anyone else.

Evelyn Brook closed her eyes and tilted her head up. The night breeze brushed across her cheeks. She could almost still feel the immense pain in her chest that night.

Such a heart-wrenching pain could never be forgotten. It was as if the pain had seeped into her bones.

Just this moment, hurried footsteps sounded behind her.

Her eyelids fluttered. When she opened her eyes, they were clear once again.

The man’s angry voice resounded. “Evelyn Brook!”

Evelyn quirked her lips. Turning around, as expected, she saw Bailey’s furious face.

Before she could respond, he descended upon her like a fierce gale.

The next moment, he loomed up before her, grabbed her by the collar and slammed her against the concrete railing with a sickening ‘thud’.

She frowned and groaned in pain. Half her upper torso was spilling across the railing.

The hair on her head sailed in the night sky, while the icy concrete imprinted on her waist. It was as if she was going to be folded in half.

Nevertheless, she merely parted her lips and smiled. “What? You’re not pretending to be crippled or sitting in a wheelchair? If anyone else sees you walking so uprightly, I’m afraid their jaws might fall off!”

Looking at the nonchalant smile on her face, Bailey was outraged.

He grabbed her collar and gritted his teeth at her. “What did you do?”

Evelyn widened her eyes and regarded him with an innocent expression. “What did I do?”

“Don’t pretend to be a fool! Tell me, why did you kill Gideon Leith?”

His words caused the smile on her face to wane slightly.

Then, she turned her face away and said with an air of indifference, “I wanted to, so what? Did I spoil the relationship between the Griffin and Leith families?”

After speaking, she seemed to recall a memory, and turned to give him a charming smile. “Bailey, we haven’t seen each other for a year, shouldn’t we at least treat each other more politely? After all, we used to share the same bed…”

Before she could finish her sentence, her body shook. A punch had hit the concrete railing beside her.

The man’s hands were bloodied. He bared his teeth at her. “Evelyn Brook! Do you know that Nell Jennings is pregnant? You can hate our family as much as you like, but how could you do that to a good friend who trusted you and treated you like a sister?”

Evelyn’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, then she revealed a cruel smile.

“Bailey, how old are you now?”

Bailey was taken aback. She continued unfeelingly, “You’re already twenty. You’ve been in the Dragon Regiment for eight years. Are you still fooling yourself? Do you really think that I truly regard her as a sister?

“To tell you the truth, the reason I became good friends with her was because of her ties to Gideon Leith. I wanted to use her to get close to Gideon Leith, but firstly, I was not strong enough, and secondly, she suddenly lost her memory and lost contact with him.

“Fortunately, after so many years, she finally called me up again. Finally, this time, I get to use her to kill Gideon Leith. Tell me, isn’t this God’s will?”

Bailey’s lips trembled. He gritted his teeth and said, “So, all these years, you’ve been planning this? Just for revenge?”

Evelyn pursed her lips and smiled, “Not really. For one, I got my revenge, but more importantly, someone offered a high price for Gideon Leith’s life. I’m just accepting money to help people eliminate their problems.”
