Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Brothers can’t stand eye to eye Chapter 208: Brothers can’t stand eye to eye Meanwhile, Gabriel became alarmed when he realized Eveline was missing.

He instantly excused himself and walked towards Mark, questioning Eveline’s whereabouts.

“Where is Eveline?” He inquired, but the anxious expression on the man’s face prompted him to grab out his phone and call her.

Gabriel’s brow wrinkled when she didn’t respond, and his worry increased.

“Damn,” swearing, Gabriel dashed out of the event hall and kept calling Eveline.

Regardless, she did not respond.

Just as he was going to call his security, he noticed a petite figure emerge below.

As if seized by an invisible force, Gabriel dashed towards Eveline and drew her into his grasp.

“Where have you gone?

I told you not to evade my sight.

Why weren’t you answering my calls?” Gabriel’s voice cracked as the notion of someone hurting her struck him terribly.

By God’s goodness, she was safe and in his arms.

Eveline, on the other hand, gently pulled back and grinned.

“I went to the restroom but got lost along the way,” she said slowly and carefully.

Gabriel stared at her in shock before hugging her back.

“Stay with me,” he murmured, and she nodded immediately.

They soon returned to the arena and continued to meet people together.

Eveline stayed quiet throughout the event; however, she did occasionally converse and smile when presented to any business delegates.

Stefan, who was curious to meet Jedrick, observed him returning to the arena, surrounded by his guards.

Ella was in charge of the meet-up, so she swiftly approached him and introduced herself.

Jedrick stared at the young lady, who immediately reminded him of someone, but swiftly dismissed the memory and smiled back.

“You remind me of someone, Miss Ella,” Jedrick stated in a kind tone.

“You, too, remind me of someone, Mrs.

Donovan.

Do you know Mr.

Jonathan Miller?” Stefan inquired, his smile faltering.

“Who does not know him?

He is one of the top industrialists of this century,” Jedrick remarked, maintaining his cheerful tone and continuing to converse.

“Yes, and he is also my uncle,” he added, observing every expression on his face.

Stefan didn’t notice a muscle flinch on his face, but his eyes were expressive.

They communicated his innermost ideas without expressing them.

Jedrick didn’t say anything, but he noticed what this boy was trying to achieve.

He was impressed by how everyone around Eveline was striving to protect her, but for how long?

One day, she must leave them.

Soon, the gathering came to a close, and the guests began to leave.

Eveline and Gabriel were the first to exit, but this time Mark assisted them from a different door so that they did not attract media attention.

Stefan and Ella remained behind a little longer.

“Why do we have to stay here?

It’s already really boring.” Stefan, who had finished the Launch event, expressed his dissatisfaction with how lame the program was.

Yes, the product they launched was great, and many predicted its success.

However, the rest of the evening was spent going to and greeting each business partner or delegation.

“You shouldn’t be bored because this isn’t your first time attending a company party.

In fact, you must be at ease because you know the majority of them,” she said casually.

Stefan understood he couldn’t distract Ella while she was in professional mode.

But now it was actually bored and wanted to leave.

He was thinking about some ideas when he heard Ella’s phone ring.

With a grimace on her face, she reluctantly answered the call.

“Hello, beautiful,” said the voice, sucking the blood from her face and sending shivers down her spine.

After all this time, why would she want to hear from him again?

“W-wrong number,” she mumbled and abruptly ended the phone call.

Her palm trembled as she pushed her phone back into her purse, and her eyes welled with tears.

“Let’s go,” she remarked abruptly, bringing a satisfied grin to Stefan’s face as they hastily exited the venue.

**** Inside the car, the air was thick, creating a suffocating tension between the two people.

When it grew unbearable, Eveline made an unexpected announcement.

“Take me to the hospital.

I want to meet Dad.” Gabriel was astonished, but he didn’t argue and directed the driver to transport the ruote to Life Care Hospital.

Eveline breathed a sigh of relief as she realized her father did not shove the men in order and allow them to continue guarding them.

Eveline and Gabriel exited the car and headed into the significant hospital building, heading towards Jonathan’s ward.

“I’ll be back in a minute,” Gabriel excused himself and went elsewhere, while Eveline opened the door and walked inside.

Jonathan, who had not expected Eveline to show up, was shocked to see her walking straight to meet him after the event.

“I wasn’t expecting you to come straight here.” He said, his smile fading slightly as he saw her serious expression.

Eveline always smiled warmly when she saw him, but her stillness made him worried.

“How could I not come here to meet you, Father?

I had to…

after all, there was something essential I needed to discuss with you,” she added, sitting next to his bed on the chair.

Jonathan’s brow furrowed as he watched her stare at him unwaveringly, but then she grabbed something from her bag and out to show him that sucked the blood from his face.

“I hope you don’t hide anything from me because there are a lot of things I’m involved in, and I expect you to be honest with me,” she stated, leaving no room for disagreement.

*** “I know I should’ve told you about the threat, but back then I thought it wasn’t that serious.” Jonathan spoke, and she chuckled, cutting him off midway.

“Seriously, Dad.

Is your life worth nothing if you face a life-threatening situation and ignore it?

Sorry, dad, but I just don’t understand you.

What made you think it was a prank, or maybe you’ve been receiving so many threats that you didn’t pay attention to any of them?” Jonathan pursed his lips.

“Fine, you didn’t take it seriously, but what about Jedrick?

Why would he threaten you?” She asked.

Jedrick looked at her serious expression and whispered, “Because I ended up offending him years ago.” Eveline could finally see him opening up, but it wasn’t entirely.

“Is that the only reason or there is something I should know more, because today I happened to meet him?” “Y-You met him?” he inquired, and she nodded.

“I confronted him,” she rephrased.

Jonathan had no idea what Eveline was going to say to him, but the way she sat confidently in front of him made him think of the worst-case scenario.

Eveline could tell that her father was struggling to come to terms with what she was trying to communicate, so she didn’t let him stress out and said, “He was indeed the one who gave the orders to kill you, but the one who carried out is someone else.” Jonathan was astonished after hearing her statements.

“Who was it?” he inquired right away.

“Its Uncle Jacob.

He was the one who carried out the attack,” she stated, leaving Jonathan stunned.

“Jacob, but how would he-” Jonathan came to a halt in the middle of his sentence when his remarks from their previous meeting came back to him.

How did he miss such a huge sign?

“I must add, the man is far more humorous in twisting his words than you may expect.

He refused to accept the guilt,” she sneered, still irritated by the sound of his provocative remarks and casual expression.

The man had the most aggravating sense of humor, which she despised.

Jonathan couldn’t comprehend however in the back of the mind he had already guessed it.

“How did you find it was Jacob?” He inquired after a short pause.

“It was aunt Susan.

She calculate everything and I simply got hold of him” she said.

Jonathan took a deep breath and sighed.

“So now you want me to file charge against them?” He asked, keenly observing his daughter.

She seem deeply in thought and reflexively shook her head.

“Why would you ask me?

It should have already been done.

But you haven’t so it means, you are having second thoughts” Eveline wasn’t stupid after she wrecked her brain into getting everything on point.

She had pools of questions swirling in her brain and pouring them out at once wasn’t a smart way.

She wanted to know the reason why was he being obliged to fight Jedrick.

What was stopping him?

And was it really so irrelevant to not worry about yourself?

One thing was confirmed that the brothers can’t stand eye to eye or else they wouldn’t have kept it away from everyone.

But the question was why?

What made them like this and why was Jedrick threatening her father?

What he wanted from them and why her father fears talking about him?

But she won’t stop.

If Jonathan was not ready to tell, then she would hunt the truth by herself and punish the man for laying his eyes on her family CREATORS’ THOUGHTS akshaya_vanne Thank you AvidReader_1234 and Daoist7ENkMu the golden tickets NEW BOOK ALERT Marriage with my daughter’s father: Darling please be gentle
