Chapter 1098 Pretend to Be Weak
In just a few moments, she had concocted a plan. Since the police have no evidence yet, I can deny everything they
say. Plus, I can stay home and act miserable in front of Mom. Things will soon die down. Then, after the love bug is
ready, Colton will be mine, and Nicole won't be a threat to me anymore!
As Evelyn thought about it, she immediately applied more powder to her face, making it paler. Seeing that her face
had lost its glow, Evelyn left the room in satisfaction.
When she saw Siobhan and Rita in the living room, she coughed to attract their attention. "Mom, Grandma, you

guys are back." She smiled weakly.
Initially, Rita and Siobhan wanted to ignore Evelyn when they heard her voice. Yet, they eventually turned their
heads around. When they saw her pale face, they were shocked.
Siobhan was slightly worried when she saw Evelyn. A mixture of emotions flashed in her eyes as she asked, "What
happened?" Although her tone was cold, Evelyn was still the daughter she raised for about twenty years. Thus, she
couldn't help but want to care for her.
Evelyn was slightly relieved when she heard the concern in Siobhan's tone. I knew that Mom still cares for me, she
thought. Then, she pretended to be weaker than she was and staggered as she walked down the stairs. "It's
nothing. I brought this upon myself." She smiled weakly at Siobhan.

When Rita saw Evelyn, she knew that the latter was faking it. However, she didn't expose her. Rita had seen all
kinds of people in the business world and was used to all sorts of tricks. Thus, how could she not see through
Evelyn's lies? To put it bluntly, only Siobhan would fall for this foolish trick.
As expected, Siobhan was distressed when she saw how weak Evelyn was.
In the meantime, Evelyn knew that her plan had succeeded when she saw Siobhan staring at her. However, she
was still unsure about Rita since the latter refused to look at her. Thus, she continued, "Mom, Grandma, I have
thought it through. I shouldn't have been so cruel to Nicole in the past. After all, she's your biological daughter and
granddaughter. I should have treated her as family and not made things hard for her. I ruined everything." Evelyn's
words were sincere, seemingly as if she regretted her actions. As she spoke, tears brimmed in her eyes. "I know

what I did was wrong, and I want to make it up to Nicole. I don't want you guys to be sad…"
Siobhan actually believed what Evelyn said and was starting to waver in her resolve. It looks like Evelyn has finally
learned her lesson after her stay at the police station. She finally learns that she should treat Nicole nicely and be
considerate of us.
On the other hand, Rita scoffed when she heard what Evelyn said. "I hope so!" she said coldly. After all, she didn't
believe that Evelyn would change so quickly. Before the truth of the kidnapping case was revealed, she would not
be nice to Evelyn. If Evelyn was indeed the mastermind behind Nicole's kidnapping, Rita would make sure she paid
for her actions!
When Evelyn saw that Rita didn't fall for her trick, she gritted her teeth It looks like Old Mrs. Gould isn't going to fall
for it anytime soon. I guess I don't have any choices left!
