Chapter 1375 Theft

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Meanwhile, in Wolf Group’s presidential suite. Francis was talking to his butler, Frederick, when Evelyn arrived and she directly threw herself into his arms. “Grandpa, I missed you so much!”
Francis naturally loved his only granddaughter very much. He smiled and touched Evelyn’s hair. “How can you act like a spoiled child even though you’re an adult now? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
“Uncle Frederick is not an outsider anyway. He won’t laugh at me, right?”
Frederik didn’t know what to say when Evelyn said this, so he smiled and nodded. “Miss Evelyn is still as lively and lovely as before.”
“Uncle Frederick, do you still think I’m a little girl? I don’t want to be lively and lovely anymore, I’m now a beautiful lady that is loved by everyone.”
“She’s shameless.” Francis tapped Evelyn’s forehead and said to Frederick with a smile, “She’s so naive and lively that it doesn’t seem like she’ll become mature at all. I’m really worried.”
“Don’t worry, Sir. Miss looked like is a lucky person and I’m sure she’ll be blessed in the future.”
“I hope so! But she doesn’t do anything besides playing around all day. I really have a headache because of her.”
Evelyn was upset when she heard this. “Who said that I don’t know anything? Since I’m very good at brewing tea, I’ll make two cups for you and Uncle Frederick right now. Watch carefully.” Evelyn said as she went to the kitchen to make tea.
Francis shook his head with a smile and said to Frederick in a low voice, “When Thomas comes over later, you should sit down and ask him about his feelings. Thomas can take the initiative if he’s satisfied with Evelyn. Since ladies are more reserved, men should take the initiative in these matters.”
Frederick knew very well why Francis wanted to come to B City, so he immediately nodded in agreement and said, “Don’t worry, I will ask him about it.”
Evelyn served the tea to Frederick and Francis. “Grandpa, Uncle Frederick, have a taste of the tea I made.”
“Alright, let me see how good are your skills.” Francis smiled as he took a sip of Evelyn’s tea while she looked at him expectantly. “Grandpa, how is it?”
Of course, it was not a big deal, but Francis wouldn’t tell her the truth and make her upset. He nodded with a smile and said, “It’s not bad!”
Evelyn thought that Francis was just being polite. “That’s it? Uncle Frederick, what do you think of the tea I made?”
Frederick couldn’t criticize Evelyn either. “It’s very good! It’s the best tea I’ve ever had.”
Evelyn smiled brightly. “Uncle Frederick really knows how to drink tea.”
Francis couldn’t help laughing. “This girl hasn’t changed at all and she acts like when she was a child. She only wants to be praised.”
As they were talking, the door was pushed open and Thomas came in.
Thomas entered and greeted Francis with a smile. “Hello, Sir!”
Francis was full of smiles. “You’re here. Have you finished your work?”
“Yes!” Thomas nodded with a smile and said to Frederick, “Hello, Uncle Frederick!”
“Thomas, sit here!” Frederick was naturally close to Thomas because he was adopted Thomas earlier. He immediately asked Thomas to sit beside him.
When Francis saw that Thomas had arrived, he smiled and ordered Evelyn, “Didn’t you show off your tea making skills just now? You should let Thomas have a taste of your tea-making skills.”
“Okay! I’ll make it right now.” Evelyn immediately went to the kitchen to make tea for Thomas while she secretly observed him.
Thomas talked to Francis with a gentle smile on his face. When he sat down, he put his mobile phone on the tea table.
Evelyn saw it clearly from inside the kitchen. There was no reason for her to touch Thomas’s mobile phone, so she had to find a way.
Evelyn’s eyes fell on Frederick, who looked at Thomas with a kind smile.
Frederick was very good to Thomas and he treated him as his own son. Since Thomas was also very filial to Frederick, he would definitely not care about his mobile phone if something happened to Frederick.
Evelyn stared at the electric kettle in front of her and pondered for a moment before she immediately thought of a vicious idea.
Evelyn poured some tea into the cup after the water was boiled and went out with a tray.
Francis and Frederick were talking to Thomas, so they didn’t pay attention to Evelyn. When Evelyn walked towards them with the hot tea, she suddenly let out a cry and fell forwards. She splashed the entire cup of tea on Frederick, who was sitting next to Thomas.
When the tea splashed on Frederick, she also screamed and pretended to fall to the ground. Francis was shocked when he heard the scream. When he saw Evelyn falling to the ground, he was shocked and immediately stood up. “Evelyn, what’s wrong with you?”
“My foot suddenly cramped up! It hurts so much!” A pained expression appeared on Evelyn’s face.
“Why would you suddenly have a cramp?” Francis reached out to help Evelyn up.
Meanwhile, Frederick jumped up in pain when he was drenched in hot tea. The tea was so hot that he couldn’t help screaming out loud.
Evelyn felt amused when he heard Frederick’s screams, but she had a guilty expression on her face. “I’m so sorry I burned Uncle Frederick, I didn’t do it on purpose! I didn’t expect that my leg would suddenly cramp up. Grandpa, hurry up and send him to the hospital.”
Francis wouldn’t have thought that Evelyn did it on purpose. “Hurry up, take him to the hospital!”
Frederick’s body was covered in burns, so he naturally went to see a doctor and he walked out with Thomas’ help.
Thomas’s heart ached when he saw that Frederick was hurt and he hurriedly helped him out. At that moment, he forgot his cell phone on the tea table because he was too anxious.
Evelyn walked behind and grabbed Thomas’s mobile phone to put it in her pocket.
They went straight to the nearby hospital. When they arrived at the hospital parking lot, Thomas helped Frederick get out of the car hurriedly to see a doctor while Evelyn and Francis were behind them.
Evelyn didn’t move when Francis got out of the car. “Grandpa, I feel fine. I’ll sit in the car for a while. You can follow Thomas to check up on Uncle Frederick.”
Francis didn’t care much about her when he saw that she seemed to be fine, so he got out of the car and left.
Evelyn immediately picked up her mobile phone and sent a message when Francis and the others were gone. “I’m in the hospital now. I want you to arrange for someone to come over and steal my bag and phone later.”
“Okay, I’ll do it right away!”
Evelyn waited in the car after she sent her location and the other party sent a message half an hour later. “Miss, my men have arrived and they have already seen you. You can get out of the car now.”
Evelyn turned off Thomas’ mobile phone and put it in her pocket. Then, she got out of the car with her bag and her spare phone in her hand.
A man wearing sunglasses ran over when she walked through the parking lot. He rushed towards her to snatch her bag and cell phone from her hand before he ran away.
Evelyn began to call for help only after the man had run a distance.
“Help me, I’ve been robbed! Someone stole my wallet and cell phone!”
