Chapter 226: Terrifying Woman
Chapter 226: Terrifying Woman
If it were before, Evan Hughes might have really left the matter for Coralie Hughes to handle.
But now, his affection and trust in Coralie are no longer what they used to be.
Evan Hughes said coldly, "This matter is very serious, I was almost killed, it can’t be handled casually. I will handle this myself! Butler! Bring me the woman in the black evening gown!"
Coralie’s face turned pale, anxious and not knowing what to do.
She glared hatefully at Summer Monroe, her eyes almost capable of killing someone.
But a look is just a look, Summer shrugged indifferently and asked, "Miss Hughes, I’m not the one wearing the black evening gown, why are you staring at me?"
Evan Hughes instinctively looked at Coralie.
Coralie had to quickly force a smile and said, "Cousin, you misunderstood, I’m wearing pure black cosmetic lenses, maybe I seem a bit scary when I look at people. If you don’t like it, I won’t look at you."
Summer shook her head, "Then I misunderstood."
Coralie was gnashing her teeth with hatred inside, but on her face, she could only smile apologetically.
Who knows how irritated she was at that moment!
Just then, Clarissa Stanton, who was tied up, was brought in by the bodyguards.
Clarissa’s mouth was stuffed with a towel, and upon seeing Coralie, her expression contorted fiercely, struggling with muffled cries.
At this moment, Coralie truly began to feel fear.
The evening gown was something she prepared for Summer, thinking that once Summer wore it, she could settle the score on her and keep her quiet, but never expected... the one in the gown turned out to be Clarissa Stanton.
It must be Summer! She must have planned it all along, intentionally giving the dress to Clarissa!
What a terrifying woman!
Cold sweat dripped down Coralie’s forehead, and for a moment she didn’t dare to meet Clarissa’s eyes, nor did she dare to look at Summer, she just looked down at her toes, praying internally that nothing would be exposed.
Summer saw Clarissa, her face showing shock, incredulously asked, "Sister, why is it you?! How... how could you appear here in this dress? Don’t you know Uncle’s biggest taboo is the color black?"
Clarissa felt both indignant and aggrieved, but with her mouth gagged, she couldn’t say a word, only managing to let out two streams of tears with muffled sobs.
Upon seeing Clarissa’s clothes, Evan Hughes’s eyes went dizzy.
The butler, seeing this, hurriedly found a white bath towel to wrap around Clarissa.
Only then did Evan Hughes’s emotions stabilize slightly.
Yet he was still angry, immediately starting to scold, "Clarissa Stanton! It’s actually you! Did you come here deliberately to drive me to death?!"
Clarissa shook her head violently, scared.
No, she didn’t know anything, she didn’t even know Evan Hughes was in the country!
Evan Hughes frowned and said, "Take out what’s in her mouth, let her speak! I want to hear why she wants my life!"
"Yes!" The butler reached out to pull the cloth from Clarissa’s mouth.
Coralie hurriedly grabbed the butler, and said to Evan Hughes, "Dad, the facts are already obvious, there’s no need to ask anything more. I think we should just send her back to the Stanton Family and let her father deal with her!"
The situation had already developed beyond anything she had planned.
So she had no choice but to sacrifice Clarissa!
Anyway, Clarissa Stanton is just a foolish and stupid woman, and there’s nothing regrettable in sacrificing her.
"Mmm mmm mmm!" Clarissa anxiously stomped her feet.
She had suspected it was Summer’s trick, but when Coralie wouldn’t even give her a chance to speak, it was clear who was behind this.
It was actually Coralie trying to harm her!
Wretched woman! Wretched woman!!!
