Chapter 195: Delightful Dinner
As the call ended, Evelyn quickly dialed Rita to ask if she knew something about Elias. Though she hated to admit it, she was slightly worried that he might end up in a bigger mess because of his mother. He didn’t deserve to be punished for her crimes.
Rita answered the call with delight. She was leading a team around the Wright mansion, keeping a close eye on Sophia’s movements as per Damien’s orders. They couldn’t let her escape; even if she tried, they would drag her back to their dungeon for special treatment.
"Did Elias leave the house?" Evelyn inquired.
"He did," Rita hummed. "He took the terminal and managed to sneak away from Maverick’s men who were waiting for him."
Evelyn frowned. Why would Maverick be so eager to save Elias? The man seemed obsessed with Sophia, and he might have accepted Elias as his own, having no idea about Elias’ birth secret.
"Is someone tracking him? I need his whereabouts," Evelyn asked.
"Don’t worry, ma’am. Our men are tracking him discreetly," Rita assured her.
Evelyn sighed inwardly, feeling a small sense of relief. "Make sure to be careful and safe," she nagged before ending the call.
"Worried about him?" Avery asked as Evelyn heaved a small sigh, her expression betraying her concern.
Evelyn nodded, and Avery moved forward, hugging her best friend. "Ronan doesn’t seem like the one to use such cheap tricks. Don’t worry, Elias won’t be a part of their revenge plans," Avery tried to assure her. She was very confident about Damien but not quite sure about Ronan. After all, he had lost his stepsister, whom his mother had begged him to find and protect at all costs. Sophia wasn’t going to have an easy death, and they just hoped Elias wouldn’t get dragged into it.
Before they could continue, the butler walked over and informed them that Gracia was looking for them. Avery nodded and clinging to Evelyn’s arm, she led her back to the hall. "Let’s go."
