Chapter 955 You Have the Goulds Backing You
When Rita saw Nicole return, she stood up and approached her. "Don't worry too much, Nicole. Hayden is going to
be fine," Rita took Nicole's hand and comforted her.
Nicole let out a faint smile in response when she saw how concerned Rita was. "I know. I went to see Hayden earlier
and he's all right."
Rita sighed suddenly at this point. Her eyes were filled with sympathy as she murmured, "You have had a difficult
time. Your identity was stolen when you were young, causing you a lot of suffering later in life, and now Hayden is
being targeted!"
Nicole knew that Rita was worried about her. Hence, she smiled and responded calmly, "It's okay. I'll definitely look
into this matter thoroughly this time. No matter whom the culprit is actually targeting, whether it's me or Hayden, I
will never let them off the hook!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer tone was cold when she spoke, indicating that Hayden was her soft spot, and she would never allow anyone to
harm him.
"All right. Let me know if you need anything. The Gould Family will back you up," Rita replied, feeling sorry, or
perhaps guilty, for her granddaughter whose identity had been mixed up since young.
…
Meanwhile, after Evelyn returned to the Gould Residence, she spent all of her time leisurely shopping and eating
nice food, as if everything that had happened was none of her business.
Meanwhile, Gabriel remained abroad. Only after hearing that Hayden had been poisoned did he quickly settle his
affairs and return to the country.
When he came back, he noticed Evelyn's relaxed demeanor and couldn't resist the urge to ask, "Evelyn, this
incident…"
A wide smile broke out on Evelyn's face when she saw her brother hesitate to speak. "What? Do you think I am the
one who did it, Gabriel?" she asked smilingly, her voice low.
Despite her smile, Gabriel somehow sensed that his question had hurt her, so he remained silent.
However, he did recall Evelyn being the one who had previously drugged Colton, but she refused to admit it
completely.
Thus, Gabriel deliberated for a moment before asking again, "Evelyn, tell me the truth—are you the one who did
it?"
Faced with his question, Evelyn lowered her gaze and smiled bitterly. When she raised her head again, her bright
eyes were tinged with sadness. "Gabriel, we've been siblings for at least two decades. Why don't you believe me?"
That rendered Gabriel silent. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he did not know what to say.
Evelyn continued in a low voice, "I was on vacation on an island when Hayden's incident happened. After learning
about his situation, I was afraid that there would be a lot to do, hence I came back to assist. Is it because I'm not
your sister that you suspect me even though I have an alibi, Gabriel?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Of course not," Gabriel quickly answered. Though he knew that Nicole was his biological sister, his sibling
relationship with Evelyn, which had lasted more than two decades, wasn't something he could let go of either.
After a few moments of thought, he said softly, "I've known you since you were a baby. I know you like Colton, but
you would never do anything to endanger anyone's life simply because of this."
Her previous actions of contaminating the vaccine and drugging Colton were despicable, but she did not intend to
endanger anyone's life.
As such, Gabriel believed that, while Evelyn would use despicable means to achieve her goals, she would not harm
anyone to the point of endangering their lives.
On the other hand, Evelyn had her gaze filled with complicated emotions as she looked at Gabriel, who was always
gentle with her.
I'm no longer the innocent and carefree princess of the Wrenn Family. In the past, I knew that whatever I did, I had
the Wrenns and Goulds backing me.
But everything is different now. No one has my back anymore. Everything I once had belongs to Nicole now, and I
only have myself to rely on!
