Chapter 156
Andrew’s words were dripping with earnestness as he stared into Evangeline’s eyes with honesty.
He did not even wait for her to say a word before he brought up his hand and made a solemn vow, “I swear, I’m done with that thankless Julia. Let her fend for herself out, there!”
Evangeline just watched him calmly, trying to decode his game plan.
Lydia, on the other hand, was not about to let this slide.
She and Andrew used to be in the same boat, but all of a sudden, Andrew was bending over backward to prove his loyalty to Evangeline, as if he had tossed his own interests aside!

Andrew’s eyes were wide with fury.

Evangeline had been planning to dash back to work, but with this show unfolding before her, she suddenly was not in such a hurry.
A family brawl like this was too good to miss. So, she just leaned back, arms folded, and settled in to watch the spectacle of Andrew and his wife going at it.
Lydia planted her hands firmly on her hips, her eyes blazing with fury. “Oh, that’s rich, you monster! Now she’s just ‘that girl‘ to you, but weren’t you the one who used to
