Chapter 256 Return With A Clear Conscience
Over at Angle Corporation’s top floor, the atmosphere was frigid.
Gwendolyn gazed frostily at the nineteen-year-old girl before her. She seems to know about what happened previously between me and Cedrick. However, she’s just an actress in the entertainment industry. How could she possibly know what went on in Fairlake?
She was still mulling over the matter when Evelyn pouted her pink lips and smiled innocently. “Why are you so nervous, Ms. Harris? I was only joking. However, it seems as though you have a secret, hm?”
Could it be that I’m reading too much into this? Gwendolyn looked stony-faced and did not say anything.
At that, Evelyn laughed and continued, “There’s a charity gala tonight, and I’m attending as Mr. Jenson’s plus one. It seems there’s no more room for you, his fiancée. Oh, dear. There’s no way he hasn’t told you about that yet, right? It looks like you’re not that important to him after all.”
She giggled, then flashed Gwendolyn a taunting smile before turning and taking the elevator down.
Gwendolyn stared at the young woman’s back until she had left the top floor, looking exceptionally grim.
Alarmed by her expression, Joanne hurriedly piped up to reassure her, “Don’t overthink things, Ms. Harris. It’s clear her visit was a show of power and to deliberately sow discord. You’ve always had a close relationship with Mr. Jenson. He must be taking her to the gala because of professional reasons.”
“Mmm,” Gwendolyn murmured simply. “You should get back to your work.”
She turned and went into her office, then immediately phoned a Shadow Bell subordinate. “There’s more to Evelyn than meets the eye. Look into her as soon as possible. I want to know every detail about her.”
“No problem, boss.”
