CHAPTER 1002 RETURNING ABROAD
As Siobhan looked at Evelyn''s hurt expression, her heart wavered. She slowly came to a realization
that she had been too harsh earlier.
She calmed herself down a little and returned to her seat. With a fatigued face, she supported her chin
with a hand and said, "Then tell us the process."
Upon seeing that Siobhan''s expression had lightened, Evelyn cautiously took a seat, her body racking
with sobs as she exined, "I just didn''t want Nicole to marry Colton just like that, and I was trying to
lure her out to give her a warning. Then, I saw someone nning to harm Hayden in his room, and
when I saw her walking upstairs, I told her that. Mom, Dad, I really didn''t do anything!"
Evelyn wailed through her tears, her expression extremely pitiful.
Siobhan was already swayed by her as she didn''t believe that the daughter whom she had raised
would be able to do something so cruel either. As she looked at the red-faced Evelyn, she pondered for
a moment before saying, "All right, don''t cry. I wasn''t trying to suspect you on purpose either."
Evelyn sniffled. Although she had already stopped crying, her tears continued to flow down her face
uncontrobly.Siobhan reached out tofort her and continued, "Tidy your things and go back abroad
tonight. I''ll take care of everything else."
Evelyn reached up to wipe her tears and looked at Siobhan with a choked sob. "But I—"
Siobhan interrupted, "Things are reallyplicated now. No matter what happened, it will definitely
Evelyn clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, but she eventually nodded. After they finished speaking,
she turned around and went back upstairs.
Jackson remained quiet throughout the entire conversation without saying a single word. It was only
after Evelyn returned upstairs that he looked at Siobhan and asked, "Are you going to side with
Evelyn?"
The fact that Siobhan was letting Evelyn head back abroad clearly showed that she was favoring her.

Siobhan fell silent, and it was as if she had aged ten years all of a sudden. She bit her lip before saying
slowly, "I watched Evelyn grow up, and I know that she was just making excuses earlier, but I just can''t
bear to send the daughter that I raised for over twenty years into jail with my own hands."
As Jackson looked at her, a conflicted look shed past his eyes. After many years of working in the
army, he knew that there was only ever right or wrong to things. Although Evelyn had not personally
done any harm this time, the incident was definitely still connected to her.
Siobhan covered her eyes with a hand as tears gushed out from her eyes, and she let out a soft sob. "I
know I''m being selfish. I know I''ll be letting Nicole down, but… I really don''t have a choice."
Upon seeing Siobhan sobbing, Jackson eventually relented. He reached out to embrace her and gently
patted her back. Ever since she married him, she had always been a strong woman and had never
shown such a vulnerable side before. He was feeling equally as conflicted. On one side, his birth
daughter had been harmed, but on the other side, it was the daughter that he had raised for over
twenty years that had caused the harm. Both were just as important to him, and it was impossible for
him to pick a side. However, if they followed thew, Evelyn would most likely be locked up as the
investigation continued.
"Isn''t this incident still being investigated? Besides, Evelyn wasn''t the one who did it either. You should
stop worrying and wait for Colton to finish his investigation," Jackson consoled.
Siobhan slowly peeled her eyes open, and they were already turning red. She fixed her expression and
said, "Yeah, let them proceed with the investigation, and we''ll send Evelyn back abroad so that she
doesn''t cause any more trouble."
Jackson nodded without saying anything.
Meanwhile, as Evelyn returned upstairs, a trace of glee appeared on her face. Looks like Siobhan is
still on my side.
