Chapter 84


    Andrew and pose were gobemacked, not expect


    Evangelise to show so quickly


    How the heck do you have keys to our ce you with Em going to drag you to court for breaking Lydia''s eyes bulged, proud to show off the legal jargon he had picked up while fussing over the house situation


    Oh, please, sue away." Evangeline drawled, unfazed.


    This ce is Walter''s and guess who helped him snag it? Yours truly. Walter and I are hitched, which makes this little abode our shared asset. So tell me. did Walter hand over the keys to you? is there a deed transfer I don''t know about?"


    "What deed transfer? Walter already told us the ce is ours, Lydia shot back, her eyes nearly popping


    out of her head.


    Sure, Walter had promised the apartment to Julia and the others, but there was not a scrap of paper to show for t


    "Got it, so the trespassers are you guys." Evangeline quipped, her lips curling into a sly grin thinking that the tro must have a few screws loose.


    "Evangeline, Julia spilled the beans about you snagging those Gordon Group shares. No point in ying coy now. Tve raised you, and we''re your parents, no matter what it''s downright disrespectful to turn your back on us like this. However, your sister talked some sense in Evangeline raised an eyebrow. "Are you even hearing yourself?"


    "And that''s not all. Your mother Lydia, your sister, and I will go back to treating you just like we always You''re our daughter, after all. However, in return, you''ve got to fork over fifty percent of those shares to your mom and me, then split another twenty- five percent with your sister Julia. That''s only fair." Andrew settled into his chair, his voice oozing sincerity, the picture of a doting father


    "Exactly, Evangeline. Your dad''s right. y ball, and we''ll all get along just fine!


    Julia, surprisingly, kept her mouth shut that time Evangeline watched the tag-team act of Andrew and Lydia and could not suppress a chuckle "Have you all lost your minds? Maybe I should do the charitable thing and check you into a psych ward: I''ll foot the bill- consider it a down payment on washing my hands of this dirty bloodline"Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Evangeline, don''t snub the friendly drink, or you''ll be forced to down the bitter one Andrew bellowed, his patience wearing thin with Evangeline''s sass


    "I never had any intention of joining this farce, but I can''t help butugh!" said Evangeline, propping herself up on the couch, herughter so intense she struggled to breathe "You expect to keep treating


    me like the good old days? What''s next, feeding me rotten scraps, making me sleep in a junk-filled room, forcing me to wash clothes in freezing water during winter, and then weing me back with a beating?"


    Evangeline''s eyes shed fiercely "Snap out of it. I''m not the same helpless kid you used to push around. Now, it''s my turn to demand justice!"


    "Don''t get


    too smug, Evangeline. You must''ve forgotten the proof of your mother''s affair. If I expose this, I''d love to see you try to show your face in public," Julia sneered, tossing a stack of photos onto the coffee table, confident she had the upper hand. "Feast your eyes on these, the


    mother. With this kind of scandal, the Gordons would never ept someone like you!


    "You''re nothing but a backwoods wildflower. What makes you think you canpete with my Julia? She''s the one fit to be the Gordons'' daughter-inw!" Lydia spat out.


    Evangeline picked up the photos, the so-called evidence. They were just pictures of her mother in a warm embrace with her uncle, sharing augh, her belly swollen with the child. Chapter 215
