Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 697

Chapter 697

After Evelyn heard her mother's words, her eyes immediately turned misty. She then grunted in dissatisfaction.

"Mom, now is the time Colton needs someone to stay with him. Why don't you let me go?!"

Siobhan cast a cold glance at her daughter, who was a source of great embarrassment in the family. She

mentioned indifferently, "Do you realize you've turned into a joke now? Stay at home and don't go anywhere for the

time being! You can only leave the house once the issue dies down."

Evelyn bit her lip tightly in response. How could she not know that she had become a joke? It all happened because

of Nicole. Nicole ordered Natalie to betray her and then pretended to let her go generously. Now, everyone in the

city knew that the daughter of the Wrenn Family was a mean and despicable person.

Her eyes turned red due to anger, but she couldn't rebuke her mother, so she turned on her heels and stomped her

way upstairs instead.

Gabriel watched Evelyn go upstairs and then turned his gaze to Siobhan, asking, "Mom, aren't you being too strict

with Evelyn?"

She looked up at Gabriel. After all these years, her son hardly ever made her worry. Without relying on the family's

financial resources, he started his own business from scratch and insisted on working tirelessly to build his own

career. Later, his father enlisted him in the military, where he served for three years. After enduring such adversity,

he never complained to her.

Why did her two children, Evelyn and Gabriel, have such a stark contrast in personalities?

Siobhan lowered her eyes and sighed helplessly, "I'm doing this for her own good! Just look at her! She only knows

how to embarrass the family! If I continue being lenient with her, I'm afraid she'll start committing crimes soon."

He knew the seriousness of the matter. For generations, the Wrenn Family was filled with high-ranking army

officials. When something similar occurred, she acted swiftly to keep the news under wraps. In contrast, upper-class

families would have been aware of it beforehand.

Even though Jackson was in the army and couldn't leave at will, he purposely requested a leave of absence just

because of Evelyn and would be back in two days.

"Evelyn likes Colton, and I know him well. There shouldn't be a problem if they get together," replied Gabriel.

He knew that Colton was the boss behind Wolf. Having Gardner Corporation on the surface and Wolf in the

shadows, his conditions were on par with the Wrenn Family's status.

Siobhan closed her eyes. Of course, she knew that! Gabriel, Evelyn, and Colton had been friends since childhood.

The Wrenn Family and the Gardner Family were also considered good friends, so Colton would be the best

candidate in terms of boldness, appearance, and intelligence. Despite that, he wasn't interested in Evelyn!

"If Colton likes Evelyn, I won't stop them. You know your sister and Colton well. Do you think there is a possibility

between the two of them?" Her gaze fell on Gabriel's face as she asked calmly.

He was at a loss for words. His mother's gaze had always been sharp. Judging by Colton's character, he wouldn't

force himself to take an interest in something, even if someone held a knife to his throat.

"But Evelyn…"

Gabriel also understood his sister's personality. She was too stubborn and wasn't one to give up easily if she liked

something or someone.

Anyway, Evelyn was her child. Siobhan would naturally side with her own child. Rubbing her temples, she sighed. "I

know how her character is. Let's wait until the issue dies down in a few days. I don't object that she likes Colton, but

we can't let her do something that will embarrass our family again!"
