Chapter 1085 The Mastermind

Queenie was astonished by the unfolding events before her, and she quickly turned to look at Lydia."Mom, Colton is here. We have to go."

When Lydia heard that, panic began to grip her. She knew the consequences would be catastrophic ifhe discovered their involvement. As a result, she hurriedly packed everything up, shoved it all into abag in preparation for a stealthy getaway.

In the meantime, Colton comforted Nicole by wrapping his arms around her as she sobbed into hisembrace like a child who had been severely wronged in the world. This was the first time he had seenher act this way, so he spent another few minutes trying to soothe her.

On the other hand, Gabriel could not help but scowl when he noticed the intimate moment between thecouple. However, he did not say a word and merely walked outside. As soon as he stepped out, he sawtwo women sneaking out, so he rushed forward to block their path and inquired in a low voice, "Whereare you two going?"

Queenie was startled by the unexpected appearance of a man, but upon realizing it was him, shequickly smiled and explained, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Wrenn. We popped in to check the place out becausewe were passing by. What a coincidence!"

However, he was not a fool, and a frown formed on his face at the absurdity of what he had just heard."This whole thing was your plan?"

She stepped backward, realizing she had chosen a flimsy excuse that would be hard to sell. Then, shesoftly chuckled and uttered, "I'm not that talented, Mr. Wrenn. I am penniless. Where would I replace themoney to hire all these people? Someone with a lot of money and power is assisting me."

At that moment, Gabriel's frown deepened as if he understood what Queenie had said.

The thoughtful look on his face made her smile and continue, "That's right. I hate Nicole, and that'woman' likes Colton, so we decided to partner up. That 'woman' contributes funds and networkingwhile I do the work. If he captures me, I will surely expose the mastermind's identity. You don't wantthat to happen, do you?"

His eyes darkened when he heard that. Her blatant hinting at Evelyn's involvement in the situationmade it impossible for him to dismiss the "woman" she kept referring to. He had repeatedly cautionedhis sister against this ludicrous course of action, but she remained obstinate.

After noticing Gabriel's dark and scary expression, Queenie hastily called out to Lydia, telling hermother they should get out of there as soon as possible. However, before they could take another step,he stopped them again.

Queenie was adamant about not yielding, fixed her gaze at him, and threatened, "Evelyn is your sister!Kidnapping is a major crime. If she is implicated, she will be imprisoned! I don't care what happens tome, but the Wrenns' reputation will be ruined!"

Gabriel froze as a sense of resolve washed over him upon hearing this. Then, he calmly declared, "IfEvelyn truly did something this foolish, I would not protect her either." His endless patience andtolerance for his sister had only spoiled her, leading her to believe that no matter what she did,someone would always help her. In addition, she crossed the line when her plot with Sasha causedNicole's miscarriage. Nonetheless, he had not expected his sister to persist in her delusions andcommit such a heinous act.

Meanwhile, Queenie was taken aback to learn that he could be so righteous, especially consideringthat he was unfazed even after she threatened him with his sister. Then, she reasoned, "Mr. Wrenn, ifEvelyn is sent to prison because she did this, her entire life would be ruined!" She spat through grittedteeth as she glared at his face. After that, she kept trying to replace a crack in his countenance, but theonly emotion on his face was serenity.

"As I previously stated, if my sister committed a crime, she should bear the consequences," he statedcoldly.
