Chapter 259 - Genius 259 : Althea's ulterior motive

Genius 259

Lying in the hospital bed, Evan sighed. Althea was busy drawing fake bruises on his face using makeup so the police wouldn't take him back to the prison. He had asked her to stop as he can do it by himself but she refused and continued.

When Evan looked at Glen who had just finished his phone call with Ken, he found him looking at him with narrowed eyes.

"Ms Adam it's fine. Glen can do it."

Althea's hand froze in the air, she turned to look at Glen and asked, "can you do it?"

Glen shook his head, "I am a lawyer, not a makeup artist" he said in a light tone and chuckled to ease the awkward ambience around.

Evan sighed, Glen was his last resort of getting away from Althea. It's not that he hated her but he didn't want to be around any woman right now.

"So, how's Daniella?"

After asking that, Glen noticed how Evan's expression hardened. Since Daniella came Evan had never spoken about her or even mentioned her name. He knew something was wrong and he would love to help but if Evan refused to speak there's nothing he can do.

He sighed and walked towards the bed.

"Evan, I need to know if Daniella is safe in Jared's hand."

Evan met his eyes, "let's not talk about her."

Glen nodded, there's really nothing he can do. And so, he decided to leave.

"I will be back later. I need to make sure that you won't have any problem leaving the country."

When the door shut closed, Althea continued putting makeup on Evan's face.

"You can talk to me Evan," Althea said.

Evan looked at her with narrowed eyes. He saw it, everything that Althea was hiding when Daniella kissed him. How could she have that vicious personality hidden beneath that innocent face?

"Don't worry, Ken will find your family," he said in a low voice without breaking his gaze.

Althea smiled and nodded, "I can't wait to meet my cousin. It's too bad we didn't get to know each other. I remember her mother, she was so pretty."

Evan's jaw gnashed in anger. Althea was just like Kierry, so manipulative and good at using their innocence to use the people around them.

His deep thoughts were disturbed when Althea suddenly held his hand. He wanted to pull away but afraid that she might get suspicious.

Althea held Evan's hand tightly while looking at his eyes.

"Don't worry, once we are in Galla you will have your freedom and you can go back to your home."

Evan nodded and looked aside, thinking of a way to stop her from holding his hand.

"I need to call someone," he said eventually.

Althea was disappointed but picked up his phone from the side table and handed it to him.

Evan quickly dialled Camille's number. It was better to end the relations.h.i.+p with her now than later.

The phone rung once and a familiar voice spoke with enthusiasm.

"Evan! Oh my G.o.d! Where are you?"

One after another Camille's question came.

"I need to break up with you Camille," he said straight.

Then, a long moment of silence came in between them. Evan sighed as he listened to Camille's weep. It was unfair to her; he knew that despite all the bad things she had done to Daniella she was still the girl he grew up with. The girl who kept following him in his school and making sure that no other girls would disturb his study.

"Tell me where you are," Camille spoke eventually with a broken voice.

"I can't tell you," he just didn't want her to be in trouble by coming here. He was certain that Jared's people knew who he was, his family and fiancé.

"Then I won't accept your break up."

Evan groaned, typical Camille a very dramatic person yet he could not blame her. He simply used her.

"Fine, but don't bring anyone with you and don't tell Selena."

After he ended the call, Evan stared at his phone screen. It still has Daniella and Selena's photo as a cover. Looking at Daniella's face made his eyes gloom. He missed her but it's too dangerous for them to be together now.

Thinking of that, he clenched the phone in his hand thinking how could Kierry do that?

At first, he didn't believe what he saw when Daniella kissed him but he was certain that she would never fake that kind of information.

His mind simply in chaos, wondering how could Kierry fake that? He was certain that in the morgue and the woman in the coffin was Kierry.

His expression darkened thinking of that.

Meanwhile, Althea heard and saw how Evan's expression s.h.i.+fted from time to time. She heard that he has a fiancé, a supermodel and now that Evan hated Daniella for marrying another man, and him breaking up with his fiancé had made her smile inside.

She left the room and closed the door behind. Then, she asked his most trusted person to get information about Camille.

"Here is the information we collected for Daniella Chen."

Althea's eyebrows creased upon seeing a folder which almost like a book in front of her. She accepted it and opened the first page out of curiosity.

The first photo had two kids smiling at the camera. Looking so much alike aside from the hair.

"Who is this boy?" she asked pointing a finger at the boy next to a girl she a.s.sumed to be Daniella.

"That is Danny Chen, he was Daniella Chen twin brother."

Althea rose a brow, "was?"

The man nodded, "he died seven years ago because of the fire."

Althea fell into silence, she stared at the photo of the boy in her hand wondering how he might have looked like if he was still alive. She had seen Daniella and that woman has a face that was hard to forget even for her.

She sighed and handed the folder back to him, "put it in my luggage, I will read it once Evan is asleep."

The man nodded once again.

"And prepare the jet, we are leaving tomorrow night."

Eavesdropping from inside of the room, Evan overheard the conversation between Althea and another man. When Evan heard that Althea was coming back, he rushed to the bed and pretended to be asleep. Seemed like Daniella was right about her if not, why would she bother looking up about Daniella's past.
