Thomas and Francis were accompanying Frederick to deal with the burns when Evelyn came over with a sad face. “Grandpa, I was robbed. My bag and mobile phone were taken away.”
“Ah? How could this be? Are you okay?” Francis was shocked and he immediately asked Evelyn with concern.
“It’s okay. That bastard wan away after he took my bag and cell phone. The security didn’t stop him and they’re looking for clues in the surveillance video now.”
“It’s alright along as you’re fine. It’s just a bag and your phone, so you’ll just lose some cash at most lose some money. Leave it to the police.” Francis comforted her.
“But Grandpa, Thomas’ cell phone was also taken away.” Evelyn bit her lip. “He was in a hurry to send Uncle Frederick’s phone that he left in the room just now. I brought it for him, but I didn’t expect it to be snatched away.”
Francis didn’t care. “It’s just a phone, so he can just buy a new one.”
Evelyn looked at Thomas and said apologetically, “It’s not about the phone. I’m just worried about the information in it. Thomas, did you back up your phone?”
Thomas frowned slightly. He was obviously not very happy, but he did not reveal his emotions. “I backed it up, so it’s fine.”
“That’s good. I’ll buy you a cell phone later.” Evelyn looked relieved.
“No, I can buy it myself.” Thomas refused directly.
Evelyn was just acting and Thomas’s mobile phone was in her pocket now. She had to find an opportunity to leave so that it would be easier for her to carry out her next plan.
Frederick’s wounds were dressed after he stayed in the hospital for two hours finished dealing and he was given an ointment. All of them left the hospital after that.
Evelyn said that it was inconvenient for her to not have a mobile phone on the way back. She made up an excuse and said that she wanted to buy a mobile phone to separate herself from the group.
After they parted ways, Evelyn immediately turned on Thomas’ phone and sent a message to Valeria. “Can I treat you to dinner tonight?”
“Tonight? My father-in-law may not allow me to go out.” Valeria refused.
Evelyn immediately mentioned Abbie when she saw that Valeria was hesitant to see Thomas. “Try to find a way to come out because I have something urgent to tell you! It’s about Abbie.”
Valeria was very worried about Abbie. She didn’t know that the phone was in Evelyn’s hands, so she thought it was Thomas who sent the message.
It was good that Thomas knew about Abbie. Valeria trusted Thomas very much, so she agreed to meet him. “Okay, tell me the location and I’ll find a way to go out.”
Evelyn picked a remote place when she saw that Valeria had agreed to meet.
She was very clear that she had to carry this plan out perfectly to avoid future troubles. She would meet Valeria in a remote place far away from the hospital. Besides letting Valeria know about Abbie’s accident, she would also use other means to drag out the time. By then, it would be too late when Valeria arrived at the hospital.
Evelyn sent the address to the people she hired after she messaged Valeria with Thomas’ mobile phone. “Ask two people to go to this restaurant and pour some slippery liquid in the room. Pour it on the stairs as well. You have to do this well!”
“Don’t worry, Miss. It will be done!”
“Remember to keep it a secret and don’t let her bodyguards find out!”
Valeria didn’t have any sense of danger when she decided to see Thomas. She had to tell Hayden about it first.
She immediately went to look for Hayden. “Dad, I want to go out tonight and meet a friend.”
“Who are you meeting?”
Valeria didn’t hide anything. “Thomas!”
Hayden disagreed. “I’m worried if you go out now. Why don’t you ask him to meet you at home?”
“Isn’t that quite inappropriate??”
“What’s wrong? The house is so big and I can ask Auntie to prepare dinner for you. I’ll go out so you can talk to him at home, all right?”
“But I promised him! Dad, Thomas is not an unreliable person and nothing will happen. If you are worried, ask Auntie to follow me and you can even arrange several people to go with me.”
Hayden thought that nothing bad will happen since William would be home soon, so he agreed. “Okay, I’ll arrange a few trusted people to follow you. You should come back early.”
Evelyn went to buy a phone after she sent the message to the thug she hired. In order to stall Thomas, she stopped him from buying a mobile phone so that she wouldn’t find out about her plot. After that, Evelyn quickly set up her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Francis. “Grandpa, I bought a phone for Thomas. Tell him not to buy a new one himself and I’ll come back to have dinner with you soon.”
“Okay, I’ll tell Thomas.” Francis immediately told Thomas, “Evelyn said that she bought a phone for you, so you don’t have to buy one.”
Thomas was about to go out to buy a phone, but he stopped when he heard what Francis said. He did not like it that Evelyn had bought a phone for him on her own accord, but he had to be polite in front of Francis.
Anyway, Evelyn did not have any feelings for him. It was up to her if she wanted to buy the phone and Thomas could just transfer the money to her when the time came.
Thomas wanted to treat Francis to dinner in the evening, so he made a reservation at the Wolf Group Restaurant.
Evelyn strolled outside until half-past six before heading back. She had set the meeting with Valeria at seven o’clock.
Evelyn sent another message on the way back, “Valeria, have you arrived yet?”
“I’m almost there,” Valeria replied.
“There’s a traffic jam on the road and I may be quite late. Please wait for me in the room. I’m sorry!”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to rush. Be careful!” Valeria had no doubts at all.
Evelyn was relieved after making sure that Valeria was already on the way. She used her spare phone to send a message. “She’ll be here soon. Is everything ready?”
“Yes, you can rest assured!”
The other party’s concise answer made Evelyn let out a sigh of relief. Since everything was prepared, all Evelyn had to do was wait for the good news.
She threw Thomas’s mobile phone into a lake before she rushed back to the Wolf Group Hotel.
Francis called to urge her when she was on the way. “Why are you so slow? Everyone is waiting for you.”
“I’ll be there right away. Grandpa, don’t worry.”
It was already 7:30 p. m. when Evelyn returned to Wolf Group Hotel. She went straight to the private room and apologized sincerely when she entered, “I was delayed by a traffic jam on the road. I’m sorry.”
She then asked Frederick, “Uncle Frederick, how are you feeling?”
“Much better,” replied Frederick.
“I’m really, really sorry!” Evelyn pretended to apologize.
Francis waved his hand and said, “Okay, sit down! Everyone is hungry because we have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Evelyn sat down with a smile and handed the new phone to Thomas. “This is the phone I bought for you. Do you like it?”
As she spoke, she also took out her phone and said seriously, “This is the limited edition mobile phone that I bought after I went to several shops. I bought the only two that were available.”
