Holden joined the conversation as he said, “That’s why think this crash was no accident.”
He looked straight at Evangeline. “Evie, it’s too much of a coincidence. It feels like this was meant for you!
The twisted metal from the Foster family’s car lay scattered at the epicenter of a catastrophic pile–up.
Evangeline’s mind raced away from the present.
It was a horrific crash, claiming over a thousand lives. She could not fathom what she had done to cross someone so powerful. They had orchestrated that disaster just to take her out, under the guise of an accident.
“I have a hunch someone knows something,” she mused.
In the secretive meeting room of Security tower.
Evangeline clapped her hands, drawing skeptical looks from Yale and Holden.
The bodyguards hauled in a figure shrouded in a black sack, struggling fiercely despite the restraint. The captive was strong, and it took four guards to subdue and bring her in.
One guard, fed up with the struggle, barked a warning.
“Keep it up, and you’re not coming out of there!”
The figure in the sack froze. With the guards‘ help, she stood still on the floor.
As the sack was removed, Lydia’s face came into view. She had tried to slip away but ended up right in Evangeline’s grasp.
At that moment, Lydia seemed to have regained her composure.
Her piercing eyes swept over the strangers in the room, then fixed on Evangeline–a face she would know anywhere.
“You!” Lydia’s finger trembled as she pointed at Evangeline, her face ashen as if she had seen a ghost. Are you… Are you even real?”
Evangeline was puzzled. She took a couple of steps closer to Lydia, wanting to make sure Lydia could see her clearly. “Look at me! Do I look like a person or a ghost to you?”
However, she did not expect what happened next…
After a piercing scream, Lydia collapsed to the ground as if all her energy had been sucked out of her. Yet, she still managed to throw out a warning to Evangeline.
“Stay back! I’m warning you, I’m not scared of you…”
