Chapter 129

Evelyn stared at her phone screen, fingertips trembling slightly.

Celeste Rubinstein, that crazy woman, had actually leaked last night's incident online.

She let out a cold laugh and tossed the phone onto the bedside table.

"Go ahead. Let's see what you can stir up."

Turning to the crib, she saw her two little ones sleeping soundly.

Felicia lay on her back, tiny pink fists raised above her head like a surrendering angel.

Ethan curled into a ball, only his fuzzy little head visible.

Evelyn's heart softened. She quietly snapped a picture of her daughter's adorable sleeping face.

After freshening up, she returned to find Felicia already awake.

"Ma-ma~" The toddler stretched out her arms the moment she saw her mother.

"Shh—" Evelyn pressed a finger to her lips. "Your brother's still sleeping."

She scooped up the little girl, who immediately clung to her neck, nuzzling against her.

"Starving, aren't you?" Evelyn pinched her daughter's chubby cheeks.

Felicia responded with a sloppy kiss.

After changing the diaper, Evelyn carried her downstairs.

As she entered the living room, Gabrielle's energetic voice greeted her. "Morning, sis!"

Evelyn marveled at the girl's stamina.

Between babysitting, studying, and practicing acupuncture at night, she still managed to wake up early every single day.

"Come to Aunt Gabby, Felicia!" Gabrielle opened her arms wide.

The little girl buried her face in her mother's shoulder instead.

"Ungrateful little thing." Gabrielle clutched her chest dramatically. "After all the time I spend playing with you."

She made a silly face, finally drawing giggles from Felicia.

Victoria emerged from the kitchen with breakfast. "Don't let those online rumors get to you."

Evelyn fed her daughter absentmindedly. "If I'd really hit her, she wouldn't be standing to talk about it."

Gabrielle focused on entertaining Felicia, completely ignoring the gossip.

After feeding time, Evelyn ate a quick breakfast.

She needed to go to the office today.

Some things could only be uncovered if she showed up in person.

......

The Langley Mansion.

Isabella glared at her phone, nails digging into her palms.

"Cassandra Valentine, just you wait!"
