Chapter 126
Evelyn was angry in the lounge for a long time before she could suppress her anger.
She sat in her chair and raised the corners of her mouth in self-deprecation.
She had been so comfortable lately that she had forgotten the man's cruelty.
How could he care whether she stole something or not? He only cared about his plans and his other daughter.
Thinking of it, Evelyn forced herself not to care about such things.
After all, no one cared about her. She had to take care of herself, so that she could take care of her mother in the future.
Meanwhile, on the spot at the party
Vivian and Amelia saw John come out of the lounge. They looked at each other and smiled.
Soon they were walking toward Austin with their glasses in their hands.
"Guys, do you mind if we take Austin away?"
Vivian stepped forward to join the conversation of the rich gentlemen.
Vivian's identity has been recognized by the rich gentlemen. Naturally they agreed.
"Vivian, Amelia, what did you want with me?"
Austin followed them to the corner. He frowned and asked them.
Vivian and Amelia looked at each other, and Vivian was the first to speak to him.
"It looks like you didn't know what happened, Austin."
When Austin heard this, he looked at them in bewilderment.
He didn't arrive at the charity gala on time. He was held up on his way by some private matter.
"What is it?"
"There was a theft just now. Nora was wronged and some people said she stole something. Well, she was proved to be innocent in the end, but..."
Vivian said with a deliberate pause. She looked at Austin with a puzzled expression.
Austin didn't find out. He saw her stop talking, and he hurried to ask, "But what? Does Nora feel wronged?"
Amelia found him so anxious, and her eyes were full of more intrigue.
"It's natural for her to feel wronged. After all, at first, everyone thought Nora stole it and many insulting words were said to her. Nora now goes to the break room. We... Because of what had just happened, we could not go over to comfort her, for fear of making her sadder. We know that you are her good friend, so we would like you to come and see her for us. If Nora is upset, please help us comfort her."
She pretended to be worried, when said these words. Austin was upset at her words.
"I'll go and see her."
He finished speaking, and without waiting for Vivian and Amelia to say anything more, he turned and headed for the lounge.
They both looked after him as he left, their faces full of malice.
"Nora, this time I must keep you from turning things around!"
Amelia gritted her teeth and said.
Vivian also sneered beside Amelia.
"Come on, let's rest for a while. We'll go and see them later."
She said, entering the meeting place with a glass of wine.
Austin didn't know that Amelia and Vivian were telling him on purpose. They tried to frame him.
After asking the waiter, he went straight to the lounge where Evelyn was.
In the lounge, Evelyn, who had been closing her eyes, heard the door open. She opened her eyes and suddenly saw Austin's worried look.
Before she could react, she saw Austin squatting in front of her. He looked distressed and said, "Nora, you blame me for not coming sooner and making you feel wronged."
When he had finished speaking, he tried to reach out for Evelyn's hand.
Evelyn instinctively avoided his hand.
"What are you doing here?"
She frowned and asked him. At the same time she got up and stepped back from him.
Austin's eyes flashed with hurt as he saw her retreat, but thinking that he had come to comfort her, he got up, fighting back his pain in his mind.
"Nora, I heard what happened just now, and I believe you are not that kind of person. If you are sad, you can say to me. If you feel sad, I will stay with you. I don't want to see you hide and grieve alone. I would feel sorry for that." When Evelyn heard this, she had a rough idea of what he had come for.
He had heard what had happened and thought she was upset.
Although she was very sad indeed, she did not need his comfort.
As she thought of this, she looked at the affectionate man in front of her and felt troubled and mixed in her mind. She also felt a little jealous.
She was jealous of Nora. Nora was not a good person obviously, but there were so many people who really loved Nora.
She could not understand why their fates were so different even they were twins.
As her thoughts drifted away, Austin saw her fall silent and he mistakenly thought he was making her feel bad.
He tried to touch Evelyn's cheek, but he woke her up.
Evelyn looked at his hand as it stopped. She frowned, and she said, backing up again, "thank you for your concern, but I don't feel sad. I'm just tired, so I'm here to have a rest." Austin listened and retracted his hand with a bitter smile.
When he wanted to say something else, Evelyn thought it was inappropriate for the two of them to be alone in the lounge.
Especially since the two of them have been rumored to have had affairs, if they are seen alone by other people, there was no telling what other people would say about them.
She thought of this, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she said coldly, "I've got a lot of guests to look after. Austin, make yourself at home."
When she had finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door of the lounge.
She was going to open the door and leave. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not open the door in front of her, as if it was locked from the outside. "What's the matter?"
Austin sensed that something was wrong and came over.
"The door is locked."
Evelyn said with a frown. A vague uneasiness crept into her mind.
On the other side, Vivian, who was joking with others in the meeting, her phone suddenly vibrated. She suddenly asked to leave with the person beside her.
She walked over to Lucas with her glass in her hand.
"Lucas, why are you still here? Nora is not well. Why don't you go and see her?"
She pretended to be surprised, when she looked at Lucas.
Lucas heard the words, and he frowned at her.
His dark eyes made her heart beat with fear, but she tried not to panic, and she said calmly, "Why are you looking at me? You think I lied to you? I don't care if you believe me or not." When she finished speaking, she took the glass and left.
Lucas looked at her back as she left. He frowned, and the woman's stubborn face flashed into his mind.
He was still worried about her, so he made his way to the lounge.
Vivian, who had been away, looked in the direction he was leaving and the corners of her mouth were raised maliciously.
Evelyn didn't know Lucas was on his way.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
The moment she found the door locked, she knew that someone had done it on purpose.
As for why that person did this, she was afraid that that person was trying to frame her for having an affair with Austin.
She couldn't settle down when she thought about it.
"Is there anyone? Open the door."
She knocked on the door, but there was no response outside.
It was Austin who was upset by her behavior. He thought Evelyn just didn't want to be with him.
"Nora, you..."
And just as he was trying to get Evelyn to stop, he saw Evelyn give up knocking. She came to the window, and she seemed to be going to jump out of the window. "Nora, what are you doing?"
He panicked and came forward. He grabbed Evelyn and pulled her into his arms.
At that moment, however, the door of the lounge was pushed open from outside. Lucas appeared at the door.
