Seeing his serious expression, Mila put down her phone and focused.
What’s going on?
Eugene pulled out his phone and handed it to Mila. He had recorded something while eavesdropping—though not crystal clear, the crucial parts were there.
Sis, give this a listen.
With a skeptical look, Mila pressed play.
After listening, she got the gist of it and frowned slightly, Did you run into Charlotte?
Eugene nodded obediently.
I saw her sneaking around, hiding to make a call. I thought it was odd—your brother, Hugo, hasn’t bothered to visit you in years, and now he shows up just as Giselle returns from abroad. It seemed suspicious, so I followed her and heard this.
He weighed his options and decided to spill the beans. However, he deliberately omitted any mention of Lysander, steering the blame toward the Harvey family to keep himself clear.
Over the years, he had come to understand his sister well. She was decisive and perceptive; once she sensed something amiss, she would dig deeper.
As she investigated, whether or not it involved the Harvey family, she would inevitably uncover his brother’s role in the mess.
And as she dug further…
She might even expose all of his brother’s hidden misdeeds from the past.
That would truly spell the end for his brother.
By then, his sister would undoubtedly despise him. Divorce would be a certainty, no room for negotiation.
Eugene suppressed the smile threatening to break free and poured a glass of warm water, handing it to her.
Sis, have some water, don’t let it get to you.
Mila took the glass absentmindedly, shaking her head. She wasn’t exactly angry.
Eugene tilted his head, speculating, Maybe she just hates you? Wants to make your life difficult?
Mila was stunned.
It made some sense, yet seemed absurd.
Not to mention, seven years ago, Giselle and Lysander weren’t even romantically involved. If their childhood engagement had mattered, they would have been a couple long ago.
Why wait until after she got married and had a child to stir the pot?
Besides, she was the one who wanted out of her marriage with Lysander, initiating the divorce. Hadn’t Lysander mentioned this to Giselle?
Using such roundabout means to cause trouble—what a bizarre strategy!
No matter how she looked at it, something felt off…
Seeing her deep in thought, Eugene chuckled and asked, Sis, what’s your plan? Go public with it, or do something else?
