Faced with Finn Lewis’s certainty, Evelyn’s eyes flashed with guilt.
Based on Finn Lewis’s description, it seed that the person who made him lose his job was Caden Lockwood.
Uncle... would he really do such a thing?
Eleanor Keaton had threatened her with similar things before.
Do the rich like them all enjoy doing such things?
"I need so ti to figure it out," Evelyn said softly. "If my husband did it, I will explain to you; if it wasn’t him, I ask you not to falsely accuse us."
"Alright!" Finn Lewis responded, "I’ll wait for your answer!"
Evelyn nodded, watched Finn Lewis’s departing figure, and her expression instantly darkened.
Could it be Caden who did it?
If it really was him...
She dared not think deeply, sighed heavily, and walked gloomily towards the school.
Finn Lewis continued forward, and after walking far, he turned back. Not seeing any familiar faces, he got into a red sports car.
The person in the driver’s seat was Eleanor Keaton.
"Miss Keaton, I told Evelyn all the things you asked to, and now she must be suspecting her husband!" Finn Lewis reported with ingratiating eagerness.
"That’s not her husband!" Eleanor responded sharply.
Finn Lewis jumped, quickly nodded, and said urgently, "No, no, that’s not her husband!"
Eleanor’s eyes flashed with intense malice, and she said coldly, "You’ve done a big favor, and I won’t treat you unfairly. But, I need you to promise one thing."
"Tell !"
"You need to continue acting down-and-out and miserable so that Evelyn will truly believe your life is very pathetic for it to have the effect I want," Eleanor instructed.
Finn Lewis nodded, "Don’t worry, I will keep bothering her occasionally, pretending my life is extrely tragic, pretending it’s all because of her."
Seeing the satisfaction in Eleanor’s eyes, Finn Lewis cautiously asked, "But... Miss Keaton, please don’t go back on your promise!"
Eleanor coldly chuckled, retorted, "Do you have the right to negotiate with ?"
Finn Lewis put on a conciliatory smile, not daring to offend Eleanor.
Although he didn’t know the exact grudge between Evelyn and Eleanor, Eleanor approached him yesterday, saying if he didn’t follow her instructions, he’d face permanent unemploynt.
Given she’s the prominent Keaton Family’s young lady, he dared not offend her and had to comply.
Still, he couldn’t help but feel uncertain—being entangled in this ss, his life would probably never be peaceful again...
After school, returning ho, Evelyn was still pondering Finn Lewis’s words.
She looked troubled; she didn’t know how to bring this up with Caden.
Especially their awkwardness from last night was still unresolved, and she couldn’t summon the courage to talk to him first!
Seeing the two dollars prepared in her bag, she casually wrote on them: Uncle, was it really you?
She had just put down the pen when she heard Caden’s voice: "What are you up to? You ca ho and imdiately hid in the bedroom."
Evelyn was startled, quickly grabbed the money in her hand, hid it behind her back, and said in a panic, "I... I’m reading a book!"
She kept her eyes lowered, not daring to look at him. Even if he was wearing a suit now, she couldn’t help but recall the scene she saw the night before.
She couldn’t help but despise herself internally: Evelyn, you’re too much of a flirt!
Seeing through her anxiety without reserve, Caden rcilessly pierced through her excuse: "Where’s the book?"
