Chapter 20


    Just then, the wail of police sirens pierced the air outside.


    Evangelineughed, standing amid the glow of neon lights that cut through the night.


    A fleeting look of loneliness crossed her face only when Walter had taken Julia away, leaving her fate to the cops. When she made her way to the station, however, she showed no fear.


    She looked tranquil, her eyes calm and kind as she faced Ruby, the woman across from her.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Pretty brave of you, calling the cops on me."


    "Ha! I''m not the only one


    who wants you locked up; Mr. Walter Gordon does too. You think you can hurt Julia and get away with it? A nobody from the sticks trying to outshine Julia? Youy a finger on her, and Mr. Walter Gordon will make sure you won''t know what hit you." "Alright, then. Remember what you said. Just don''t end up regretting them."


    That was when the police showed up.


    "Nobody''s leaving. Everyone here, you''re alling back to the station with me."


    Evangeline did not resist. She simply smiled at the officers and said, "Sure, I''lle along."

    Walter had demanded she report to the police station, and Evangeline had no real choice but toply. At that moment, Roslyn found herself worrying about the potential harm Ruby could cause en route to the police station, as well as in the police station itself. Ruby rolled her eyes. "Hrious. She thinks she''ll just pop in and out, but maybe she''ll disappear for good, huh?"

    Ruby, barely over her scrapes and still with an untreated nose, donned a mask just to revel in Evangeline''s misery. Roslyn was out of her league, but Evangeline, a simple country girl, was putty in her hands. Evangeline ignored her, which only made Ruby seethe. "You think you''re tough? You have no idea. My
