Chapter 194: Road To Hell
Sophia felt a wave of dread wash over her, her heart pounding in her chest. Her hands trembled as she searched for Evelyn’s contact on her phone. Yes, she hated Elias now, but not to the point of harming him. Evelyn could never use him to get to her! Desperately, she dialed Evelyn’s number, but after several attempts, there was no answer. Each unanswered call only heightened her anxiety.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Evelyn picked up.
"Where is Eli?" Sophia demanded, not bothering with pleasantries.
Evelyn frowned at the question. "How would I know?" she replied, walking away from the group of ladies. Avery smiled at the elder woman, excusing herself by saying it was a company call. Gracia’s mood didn’t look good, and they didn’t want to worsen it. She needed to celebrate this night, not drown in bitterness.
"Don’t act in front of me, Evelyn! Where is my son?!" Sophia screamed, getting up from the bed. "You guys kidnapped him! Your mafia friends were behind this, right?!" she continued her accusations.
Evelyn’s frown deepened, and even Avery was confused. Ronan and Damien were supposed to be here tomorrow. As far as she knew, they had no intentions of using Elias. Did Ronan suddenly change his mind? Or was it Damien?
"Don’t you dare touch him, Evelyn! I’m warning you!" Sophia threatened, her voice faltering with fake confidence.
Evelyn crossed her arms and smiled in response. She decided to play with this woman a little, to make sure she would cry out of worry.
"Did you think when you touched my mother, Sophia?" Her question made Sophia halt her pacing. Her heart raced at Evelyn’s next words, "You started this game, and it’s time to play fair."
