Evangeline paused, then quickly understood what he was talking about.


    "You saw it?"


    Her phone had been tossed somewhere by her captors when she was tied up.


    But she had kept the evidence well-hidden and hadn''t told anyone about it. She never expected Soren to find it.


    Soren met her surprised gaze and nodded.


    For a moment, Evangeline tensed, worried that Soren would interfere to protect Poppy. But then she remembered their current predicament. It wasn''t even certain if they would make it out alive.


    Her anxiety vanished. After a thought, Evangeline said, "It doesn''t matter anymore."


    She added, "It doesn''t matter to you. I''ve already submitted the evidence to the police. They''ll investigate whether it''s true or not."


    She knew her own power was limited.


    With the Fawkes family involved, and with Poppy pregnant, she might not be able to do much to her.


    But she wasn''t going to let her child''s death go unpunished.


    After she spoke, she expected Soren to disbelieve her, to think she was lying, or to defend Poppy as he always had and tell her to let it go.


    But instead, Soren remained silent for a long time.


    He didn''t say another word, not even after Finn returned.


    After their rest, the three of them continued their search for a way out.


    None of them knew that a major story was breaking back in Serenity City.


    Glenn had acted decisively, reporting the crime and submitting a mountain of evidence detailing Poppy attempts to frame Evangeline. He had filed awsuit against her, an action that stunned everyone.


    First, because the official


    announcement from Fawkes Enterprises had made it clear that Poppy was Soren''s fiancée and they were about to be engaged. in the public eye, Poppy was gentle, elegant, and the backbone of the entire Fawkes Enterprises R&D department-a goddess beyond reach for many men in Serenity City.


    No one could connect Poppy with the word "murder."


    ???


    Second, Glenn was known for his calm, steady, andposed demeanor He never did anything rash and rarely got into conflicts. Even when he was attacked by his seniors at the research institute, he had handled it with grace. Now he Nowhe was actively going after a woman, Poppy?


    This move was practically a deration of war, tearing away all pretense. In more serious terms, it was as if the Carlisles were dering war on the Fawkes family.


    It seemed almost fanatical, hysterical.


    Everyone was shocked. Especially since there had been some who had secretly shipped them as a couple during the recent product controversy between Fawkes Enterprises and UME.


    But the biggest shock was yet toe.


    After their investigation, the police epted Glenn''swsuit. Not long after, they sent officers to take Poppy into custody to await interrogation and the court''s decision.


    This meant the police had concrete evidence of Poppy''s involvement in Evangeline''s murder.


    The media, getting hold of this breaking news, went into a frenzy.


    However, on the day Poppy was taken away, the Fawkes family chose to protect her


    at all costs. After pulling numerous strings and citing Poppy''s pregnancy, they


    managed to get her released on bail.


    To save face, the Fawkes family spent a fortune to suppress the news.


    "Glenn, you have some nerve! Who gave you permission to do this?!"


    At the Carlisle estate.


    After hanging up with the Fawkes family, Kearney Carlisle stared coldly at Glenn, his


    eyes wide with fury. He was incandescent with rage.


    He knew Glenn was no longer the son he could easily control, but he never


    imagined he would be this audacious.
