Chapter 368

"Go ahead and tell him then." Evelyn smirked, her crimson lips curling with amusement. "Do you honestly think he'll believe you over me?"

"..." Victoria's eyes darkened, the fight draining from her expression.

She couldn't - no, she would never dare reveal the truth to Alexander!

If Alexander discovered Vivian was actually Evelyn, not only would he believe her instantly, he'd be overjoyed. He'd move heaven and earth to spoil her, cherish her, worship her.

Alexander had always loved Evelyn, especially after her 'death'. That love had festered in his heart, twisted by regret and longing.

Seeing Victoria's silence, Evelyn's smile widened. "Or perhaps you could tell your dear parents. Let them know I'm Evelyn Sinclair. But do you have the courage for that?"

"..." Victoria's mouth twitched. The hatred in her gaze could have melted steel, yet she remained powerless.

More importantly, she could never reveal Vivian's true identity to Eleanor and William.

Victoria hadn't forgotten - three years ago, Evelyn already knew she was the real Montgomery heiress.

Thud!

While Victoria was lost in thought, Evelyn tossed a smartphone onto the table between them.

"Seen the news? The entire internet is buzzing about your scandalous past. Alexander even made an official statement on his Blackwood Enterprises account - your marriage was never legal. No certificate, no vows. You were never his wife. Doesn't seem like he loved you much after all."

"Evelyn, you vicious bitch!" Victoria lunged forward, but the restraints held her back.

Evelyn retrieved her phone with effortless grace, rising elegantly. "Scream all you want. I'm not Evelyn Sinclair anymore."

She leaned forward, ten perfectly manicured fingers pressing into the table. The sheer intensity of her presence made Victoria shrink back.

"Victoria, your nightmare is just beginning. The first step of your downfall? That guilty verdict coming your way."

"..."

With one last taunting smile, Evelyn turned on her heel.

"Evelyn! What do you want? What the hell are you planning?"

The shrill screams behind her sounded like a dying animal's last cries.

Evelyn glanced over her shoulder, the sunlight catching her flawless profile. "Payback. For everything you did to me. Only this time... it'll hurt twice as much."

She strode away, leaving Victoria trembling in her wake.

"It's really you..." Victoria whispered, her face ghostly pale. "Evelyn..."

Stepping outside the detention center, Evelyn inhaled the crisp post-rain air. For six years, she'd carried this weight of pain and vengeance. Today, she'd finally begun to unburden herself.

Grandfather Henry, your little girl will make them pay.

My sweet Amelia, Mommy will punish everyone who hurt you.

And Alexander... you're next.

Just as she moved to leave, a familiar silver sports car screeched to a halt before her.

The door opened, revealing a tall, imposing figure stepping into the sunlight.

Evelyn's lips curved. Speak of the devil.

Alexander Blackwood, your reckoning has come.
