Chapter 0828
"No matter what, Simon is still your brother. You two are family. There's no need to ruin your relationship over an outsider."
"You think I want to fight with him?" Suzy slammed her hand against the table.
"You saw it yourself-he came here just to argue with me!
"And did you hear the way he talked? Everything out of his mouth was about protecting Evangeline. Not once did he take my
side!
"Men are so unreliable-even my own brother is no exception!"
She let out a bitter laugh.
"I really thought he was different. But in the end, he's just like every other man— once he has a wife, nothing else matters!
"I'm his sister, but he won't even believe me. What kind of brother does that?"
The more Suzy spoke, the angrier she became.
"Helena, you know what? I should be thanking you! If you hadn't warned me, I don't know how much longer I would've been
fooled by Evangeline!
"It's not like I didn't give him proof! I showed him everything I found about Evangeline-but he still refused to believe it!"
Helena let out a small sigh.
"She's the woman he loves most. Do you really think he'd want to believe she's capable of those things? If he accepted it, that
would mean admitting he had loved the wrong person."
She tried to calm Suzy down. "So don't be so mad.
"Dylan believes in you unconditionally, doesn't he? He's the same way with you as Simon is with Evangeline."
Then, after a moment of thought, she added, "Besides... I'm not sure everything you found was actually Evangeline's doing."
Suzy turned to her in disbelief. "You're defending her now?"
"Weren't you the one who called her a hypocrite? Why are you suddenly speaking up for her?"
A dark glint flashed in her eyes. "Or were you just trying to turn me against her? Were those documents you showed me planted
for me to find?"
Helena laughed lightly. "I only said that because I think you might be the one being played."
She leaned back lazily.
"Look, I'm not saying Evangeline is a saint-she's definitely not. But I don't think she's as bad as you make her out to be.
"Think about it—she's your brother's wife. You're family. What reason would she have to go against you?
"Maybe she orchestrated everything just to lure me here and use me against you," Suzy said.
"She might not want to deal with you herself, so she set everything up-pulling me into the mess so I'd do her dirty work for her."
Helena let out a small laugh. "Well, that's flattering. Seems like she really sees me as a threat.
"But think about it didn't you say yourself that Evangeline is capable? If she truly wanted to deal with me, would she need to go
through such a convoluted plan?
"Would she really need to manipulate you first, just to get to me?"
Suzy hesitated. "So you're saying I might've wronged her?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying," Helena said smoothly.
"Look, I know Evangeline is two-faced, but she's not that twisted. I really think you're misunderstanding her."
Hearing Helena defend Evangeline completely threw Suzy off.
If Helena really had something to hide, there was no way she'd be speaking up for Evangeline right now.
If anything, she'd be happy to see them turning against each other.
Which meant...
Suzy wasn't the only one starting to rethink things-Dylan was equally stunned by the turn of events.
Later that night, back in their room, they had another hushed discussion, going over every detail, every clue.
And the more they talked, the more their suspicions of Helena began to wane.
Maybe they had been looking at this all wrong.
Maybe... Evangeline really wasn't the enemy.
But just as they were starting to let their guard down, in the dead of night, as they were deep in sleep, something happened.
