Chapter 523
Andrew and Lydia were escorted out by the police, and as they passed Evangeline, Andrew shot he a look filled with tears of rage.
“Evangeline, you ungrateful daughter! You betrayed your father! You’ll meet a worse fate than your mothe did!”
Andrew’s shouts echoed throughout the courtroom. Evangeline remained calm, motioning for the officers to pause before taking him away, and replied coolly, “Whether I meet a bad end is anyone’s guess, but you’re the one facing a grim fate.”
Execution by firing squad–it was a brutal way to go.
“Goodbye…”
‘Dad.‘
Evangeline whispered the word “Dad” in her heart. Andrew was her father, and the blood tie made the
death sentence hit hard.
She was glad her mother’s unjust death was finally avenged. However, she was also tom because her father would pay for it with his life. He was her mother’s husband, after all.
She could not bear to think beyond that.
Touching her belly, Evangeliné wondered…
Would her baby resent her? For sending her grandfather to his death, leaving her without someone who might have loved her even before she was born?
However, Evangeline quickly got an answer to that: If Evangeline, Andrew’s daughter, did not get any special love from Andrew, why would his grandchild?
Maybe this was just fate’s way, and was the best possible outcome.
As Evangeline left the courthouse, she crossed paths with Julia, who had just been released.
She was in no mood to talk, but Julia surprised her by speaking first.
“Hey, long time no see!”
Her words felt foreign to Evangeline.
“I’d prefer never seeing you again,” Evangeline retorted with a cold smile, not bothering to spare Julia’s feelings.
Putting aside the older generation’s grudges, Evangeline was not exactly thrilled with her half–sister, who had stolen her husband.
“Yeah, I had hoped so too.”
Julia did not seem to mind at all and said it with a cheerful grin.
She had finally dropped her disguise as Minnie and regained her true identity–Julia.
