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 explained, "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 planning 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

uncontrollably.Siobhan reached out to comfort 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 really complicated now. No matter what happened, it will definitely come to light,

so it's better for you to not do anything. That's why you have to hurry back abroad and stay put."

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 flashed 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 the law, 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.
