Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 443

Hearing his question, Evangeline hesitated. After some thought, she decided to keep her deal with Soren a secret.

It wasn't that she had a guilty conscience. In fact, she felt she had nothing to be guilty about.

Soren had transferred the money willingly; she hadn't tricked him out of it.

In her mind, she considered the money an investment from Soren into UME. She would pay him back once she had the funds.

But while that was her plan, Glenn would likely see it differently.

She knew Glenn didn't want her to have anything more to do with Soren. If he found out the money was from him, he would definitely make her return it.

UME desperately needed capital right now. If she returned the money, Glenn would have to find a way to fill that gap.

She was confident Glenn could do it, but she didn't want to burden him with that stress.

After returning from his search for Theresa, Glenn had been hit with the devastating news of her fall from the cliff, followed by a sleepless search for her. She had heard that after he left the Lockridge estate that day, he had collapsed in his car and had suffered from intermittent fevers and colds since.

But every time she contacted him, Glenn hid it from her. It was Theo who told her about it later.

Evangeline didn't want him to worry any more than he already had.

"Finn is optimistic about this project. He thinks it has a lot of potential. He heard we might be short on funds, so he invested."

Glenn was puzzled. "Then why didn't he come to me himself?"

"Maybe he was afraid you'd refuse," Evangeline replied.

Glenn still seemed skeptical.

Evangeline didn't give him a chance to ask more questions. She told him about Lily being the mole and asked for his thoughts.

Glenn fell silent, his eyes lowered in thought for a long moment. "Poppy is the final person in charge of new product design," he said.

"Do you think she knew about it?"

"Or rather, what do you think the chances are that she instigated Lily and the others to impress Soren?"

Glenn looked up at her.

Evangeline hadn't considered this. She was slightly taken aback by his words.

"Why do you ask that?" she said.

Glenn shook his head. "It's just a guess. You can take it with a grain of salt."

At the Lockridge Manor.

Theresa, dressed in a maid's uniform, diligently cleaned the living room, but all her attention was focused upstairs.

It had been nearly six hours since the doctor went upstairs.

He had been in there for so long. She had no idea how Victor was doing.

Theresa couldn't help but recall Victor's face from not long ago, his eyes crimson, his expression savage and vicious.

She hadn't seen him in five or six years, and the murderous aura around him had grown even stronger.

He seemed sicker than before.

But it would be better if he never woke up.

When he killed Ji Nian, it was as if he had delivered revenge for both Ji Nian and Evangeline to her on a silver platter.

Theresa took a deep breath.

She thought about what Soren had told her when he came back just before leaving—about the horrible things Victor had done to Evangeline.
