Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1251 The Master Plan

Meanwhile, Evelyn paced back and forth in her room anxiously. A week had passed since she last met Ryan, and his

patience wore increasingly thin as he urged her to act swiftly.

On the other hand, she sank deeper into the allure of this new life, losing herself within its captivating embrace.

Amid her inner turmoil, Colton's motives remained a mystery. He would visit her daily and inquire about her well-

being. Nevertheless, his concern provided an unexpected haven, filling her with a sense of security and an odd

feeling of being cherished.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and it was a text message from Ryan. 'Evelyn, I won't hold back from enforcing my

measure if your hesitation persists. The consequences of your defiance will surpass your wildest imaginings.' Her

heart raced in response as the anger in the message affected her senses.

Soon after, Evelyn received another text message. 'Could it be that you're not concerned about filling Nicole's

position?'

The words struck her like a jolt, echoing their recent conversation.

No, I must decide. Considering the current situation, Nicole's presence was intertwined with mine like two sides of

an inevitable outcome. Clutching her phone, she imagined holding Nicole within her grasp, symbolizing her resolute

intent to sever Nicole's ties with Colton, regardless of the obstacles.

Deviating from her routine of the past few days, Evelyn left her room. Apart from mealtimes, she had stepped out

for the first time.

"Miss Wrenn." The staff approached her as soon as she stepped out.

"I thought I had my freedom of coming in and out. Walk with me to the gates as I need some fresh air," she

requested as she grew weary of constant surveillance.

However, the staff was taken aback by her sudden change in demeanor. Her attitude toward them had been

consistently pleasant until now, making this behavior shift even more perplexing. After a momentary pause, the

staff responded dazedly, "Sure."

Then, Evelyn strode forward without uttering a word, and the staff trailed along in quiet bewilderment. However,

amidst this, a pressing concern occupied the staff's mind. While Miss Wrenn does have the liberty to move about,

protocol stipulates notifying the person in charge. I couldn't bear the weight of responsibility if anything happened

to her.

Stepping out into the open air, she inhaled deeply as she savored the sweet taste of newfound freedom. After

hailing a cab, she swiftly departed from the research center. At this moment, her phone buzzed with a concise

message. 'Arrange for Nicole to meet me at our last meeting spot. Just come up with an excuse.' Then, she

muttered to herself, pondering momentarily before dialing the number.

"Nicole, it's Evelyn," she said.

Meanwhile, Nicole wasted no time following the call. She swiftly got dressed and readied herself to depart. Just as

she was about to step out, she ran into Roxanna, who was looking for her.

"Nicole, where ore you rushing off to?" Roxonno osked, puzzled by her urgency.

Nicole quickly glonced ot her reflection os she instinctively odjusted her ottire. "I plon to visit Colton. Is there

something you need, Roxonno?" she osked os she morveled ot her obility to lie so effortlessly.

"Oh, Evelyn just went out. Not sure where she's off to. I guess she's using the freedom she's been given," Roxonno

hypothesized before recolling her initiol purpose of visiting. "I'm worried she might be up to something."

Nicole's thoughts drifted briefly os she recollected her conversotion with Evelyn on the phone eorlier. I'll let you

know the underlying couse of Colton's voodoo ond o complete treotment method. You wouldn't wont to see him

distressed by this motter doily, would you?

"Nicole?" Roxonno's voice broke through her reverie.

Shoking off her distroction, Nicole replied composedly, "Don't worry obout it. Let her be. It's not our concern if

something hoppens."

Roxonno nodded os if comprehending, yet she wotched Nicole leove in silence. An unsettling feeling gnowed ot her,

hinting thot something wos omiss; otherwise, Nicole wouldn't hove been so obsent-minded.

Following Evelyn's directives, Nicole orrived ot the specified locotion. Her goze fixed upon the signboord, ond o

reolizotion downed upon her—the shop wos conveniently situoted close to Colton's compony. Is this purely

coincidentol?

"Nicole, where are you rushing off to?" Roxanna asked, puzzled by her urgency.

Nicole quickly glanced at her reflection as she instinctively adjusted her attire. "I plan to visit Colton. Is there

something you need, Roxanna?" she asked as she marveled at her ability to lie so effortlessly.

"Oh, Evelyn just went out. Not sure where she's off to. I guess she's using the freedom she's been given," Roxanna

hypothesized before recalling her initial purpose of visiting. "I'm worried she might be up to something."

Nicole's thoughts drifted briefly as she recollected her conversation with Evelyn on the phone earlier. I'll let you

know the underlying cause of Colton's voodoo and a complete treatment method. You wouldn't want to see him

distressed by this matter daily, would you?

"Nicole?" Roxanna's voice broke through her reverie.

Shaking off her distraction, Nicole replied composedly, "Don't worry about it. Let her be. It's not our concern if

something happens."

Roxanna nodded as if comprehending, yet she watched Nicole leave in silence. An unsettling feeling gnawed at her,

hinting that something was amiss; otherwise, Nicole wouldn't have been so absent-minded.

Following Evelyn's directives, Nicole arrived at the specified location. Her gaze fixed upon the signboard, and a

realization dawned upon her—the shop was conveniently situated close to Colton's company. Is this purely

coincidental?
