Chapter 483
Chapter 483 I Will Get Her Out Of Jail
After receiving treatment at the hospital, Elliot couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was secretly watching him from outside.
He looked out the window but saw no sign of anyone. That’s weird.
Elliot had always trusted his instincts. He closed his eyes to feign sleep, hoping to catch a glimpse of whoever might be watching him.
After a while, when he opened his eyes again, he saw a man with a camera hastily crouching in the bushes outside the window.
Elliot’s eyes narrowed slightly, a gesture that closely resembled Nathaniel’s thoughtful expression. “Darn it. Can’t you at least take my photos when I’m looking my best?”
Despite his attempt to lighten the mood, Elliot couldn’t shake his curiosity about who the stalker might be.
When he was lost in thought, Cecilia knocked on the door. “Sweetie, did you have a good rest? It’s time to head home.”
Elliot nodded repeatedly. “Okay.”
He got up from his bed, put on his outfit, and followed Cecilia as they left the hospital. “Mommy, has that bad woman been arrested? She can’t get out anymore, can she?”
The “bad woman” he referred to was Paula.
Cecilia nodded and hummed in response.
“That’s good then.” As Elliot spoke, he glanced around but saw no trace of the person who had been secretly photographing him.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned at the Evans residence.
After the incident with Paula, the Evans Group’s stock took a significant hit, leaving Ralph with at perpetually gloomy expression.
Magnus, however, was sprawled on the couch, deeply engrossed in his computer game, seemingly indifferent to the turmoil around him.
The sight of Magnus only aggravated Ralph further. “Can’t you get off your lazy butt and find a jobë. You’re always at home, freeloading off your parents. Your mom’s already in jail–do you want to join her?”
Upon hearing those words, Magnus slammed the mouse onto the table.
Magnus slammed his mouse onto the table in response “Freeloading? The money you’re spending now–every penny of it comes from my family, the Smiths!”
“The ink on my mother’s prison sentence is barely dry, and you already dare to show me attitude? Do you think I can’t make you regret every bite you’ve ever taken?” Magnus glared fiercely at Ralph.
Intimidated by Magnus’s intense gaze, Ralph felt a surge of fear and quickly averted his averted his eyes. “I’m just trying to encourage you to pull yourself together, that’s all.”
Ralph’s fear of Magnus dated back to an incident six years ago when Magnus and Paula transferred their wealth to him under a specific agreement.
The agreement stipulated that if Ralph ever mistreated them, they could reclaim their property at any time.
Magnus lounged back on the sofa, crossing his legs. “You better mean what you said.”
“Figure out a way to get my mom out of there as soon as possible. She’s not accustomed to a place like that.” Magnus knew that only Paula’s presence could secure his position in this family.
“Okay, got it. I already have a plan. Once the buzz dies down, she’ll be out of jail,” Ralph remarked confidently.
To him, there was nothing that money couldn’t fix.
Ralph was certain he could secure Paula’s release. After all, Cassandra hadn’t married into the Rainsworth family yet, and it would be disastrous if they backed out of the marriage because her stepmother was a convicted murderer.
Just then, Cassandra descended the stairs. “Dad, Mom wants to see me. I need to visit her.”
The term “Mom” was exclusively reserved for Queenie. Cassandra only used it when referring to her.
“All right, go ahead,” Ralph responded.
Before leaving, Cassandra cast a sidelong glance at Magnus. “You’re nothing but a leech, draining the life out of the Evans family. You’ve already ruined the Smith family, and now you’re trying to do the same here. Have you no shame?”
After hurling those words, Cassandra left the house, got into her car, and drove off to see Queenie.
Queenie might not have been her biological mother, but thanks to her formidable influence, she managed to suppress all the trending topics surrounding the scandal, allowing Cassandra to avoid any implications of Paula’s misdeeds.

As a result, many netizens sympathized with Cassandra. What did Cassandra’s father ever see in Paula? Her mother was such a strong woman, yet he chose a woman thoil been married before and uses past
