Right Person, Wrong Time

Gabriel turned on his speakerphone and turned to glare at Queenie with dark eyes. "My sister says that she's not involved in this. If you're lying… You should know what the Wrenns are like."

Queenie had been scared witless by Colton. Thus, she would not dare lie now. The call continued as she cried out to him.

"Miss Wrenn, you're the one who told me to do this! Now that we're in trouble, you can't just wipe your hands off of the matter!"

Evelyn's face went pale, and her throat closed up. "That's nonsense! When did I tell you to do anything? Gabriel, I don't know her. She's lying. I didn't do it."

Evelyn did all she could do to deny the claims. She absolutely could not allow her schemes to be exposed just because of Queenie. She was only the eldest daughter of the Wrenns by name. If something this serious happened and the police arrested her, the Wrenns would never help her.

After Nicole's miscarriage, Jackson and Siobhan were both biased against her. That was why she put Queenie in charge of the actual execution of her plan this time.

To her surprise, Queenie had been a stupid fool who was caught red-handed.

Not only that, but Queenie had also betrayed her!

Staring into Gabriel's icy eyes, Queenie insisted, "I have records of my conversations with Miss Wrenn. You can look through them. I am just an errand runner, Mr. Wrenn. She was behind the entire thing."

She was now prioritizing her own life over everything else.

Gabriel's hand tightened around his phone as his voice turned even icier. He stared down at his phone as he hoarsely asked, "Is what she said true, Evelyn?"

"No! Gabriel, it's not true! Trust me! You have to kill her now!" Evelyn spat through gritted teeth.

Her response caused his frigid glare to turn to ice as he barked out, "When did you become like this, Evelyn?"

Realizing what she had just said, she frantically said, "Gabriel, I…"

He swiftly hung up. From the tone in her voice, he could guess what happened. He then stared down at Queenie in silence.

After a few long minutes, a group of policemen suddenly barged into the place and walked over to them. "Mr. Wrenn," they respectfully greeted.

He nodded in response and pointed to Queenie and Lydia. "We suspect they're involved in the kidnapping. There are also a few more men tied up inside. Deal with them as you see fit."

He thereafter turned and calmly walked away.

Panic flashed in Queenie's eyes. If she were imprisoned, she would be doomed for life. She shot a fierce glare at Gabriel's retreating back.

"If I'm arrested, I will surrender her to the police! I will ensure Evelyn is sentenced to prison as well!"
