"How dare you sue Lana!"
Evelyn stopped walking for a moment, her eyes fixed on the message flashing on her phone screen.
She read the text once more, then again, her lips forming a faint, satisfied smile.
'So, the news had reached him...'
She resumed walking through the hallway. Joy flickered in her chest, quiet but triumphant.
Finally, the police were investigating Lana Scott's embezzlement from the Walters Group.
Finally, the truth was beginning to emerge.
'Lana Scott… you wanted to steal from the Walters family? Well, it's not that easy, BITCH!'
A prison cell and a taste of poverty would be fitting rewards for a woman like her, a homewrecker.
Evelyn could already imagine Lana's shocked face when the court summons arrived.
That thought alone made her morning coffee taste even better.
...
Later that noon,
Evelyn already promised to accompany her son during his piano session.
