“You’ve got the nerve to call me, Minnie?” 

Minnie had braced herself for that. She pulled the phone away until the storm passed, then cautiously returned it to her ear. “Hey, why all the fire on such a chilly day? Take a chill pill, or you’ll end up hurting yourself,” she joked, her tone light, her apology absent, 

The person on the other end huffed, “Cut to the chase, Minnie. Did you have a hand in that pile–up?” 

“Nope, not me.” 

Minnie blurted out in a rush, “Come on, I knew your sweetheart was in that car. Even if I had the urge to stir up trouble, I’d hold back, wouldn’t I? And just so you know, I had absolutely nothing to do with that 

crash!” 

She sounded like she was standing on solid ground. 

Truth be told, she was innocent. The accident was her mom Lydia’s handiwork, not hers. Technically, she was not lying. 

However, as she thought about it, realizing that her friend’s sweetheart was out of the picture, she felt a pang of guilt and figured some words of comfort were in order. 

“Look… I get that you cared about her, but she’s gone and there’s no bringing her back. Try not to take it too hard, okay?” 

Minnie had no idea that her attempt at consolation was about to backfire spectacularly. 

“What are you babbling about?” The voice on the phone bristled with annoyance. “You claim you’re not involved, but if that’s true, how come you know she’s dead?” 

The caller’s laugh was knowing, quickly shifting to a tone of triumph. “Here’s the real deal–she’s perfectly fine, not a scratch on her. However, you… Well…” 

Not a scratch on her? 

Minnie felt like she had turned to stone. 

The pile–up on Dannington Road had a death toll in the thousands! 

Evangeline survived that? 

The caller did not leave her in suspense for long. “Since she’s unharmed, I’ll let this slide just this once. However, let me warn you, don’t you dare lay a finger on her. Cross this line again, Minnie, and you’ll regret 

it.” 

Minnie scoffed. 

So she messed with his precious darling. Big deal. 

She would not even consider heeding his advice! Any person or thing that threatened her chance to be with Walter was on her hit list. 

Somehow, Evangeline had dodged a bullet this time, but next time, Minnie would not let that snake get away with it.
