Chapter 81 We Are Family
Evelyn frowned.
In her prevous life, she was obsessed with William. After receiving the inheritance, she cut off contact with her little uncle’s family. Just before her death, she heard that her little uncle’s family had tragically died in an unfinished building, seemingly deceived of their wealth by someone.
She gently touched Quetzal’s head, “There’s no point in idolizing others. You should strive to
become someone else’s idol.”
“Okay.” Quetzal nodded firmly.
Watching the girl’s reaction, Evelyn originally thought it was just her passing fancy, but unexpectedly, with just a few words, she had directly changed the course of this girl’s life.
“Little aunt, why are you here? Is something wrong?”
“Evelyn,…” Quetzal was about to say something, but Lucy stopped her.
“It’s nothing, every thing is okay.” She looked a bit embarrassed, “Quetzal’s school is having a cultural festival and needs a performance, so we came to the mall to look for a dress.”
“I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect the prices nowadays to rise so quickly.”
After saying that, she looked regretfully at the white dress in the store, a sense of guilt rising in her weathered eyes.
“Mom.” Quetzal patted her chest sensibly, “I’ve said it. I’m naturally beautiful, and anything
looks good on me. I don’t need a new dress; I can just wear the ones we have.”
After speaking, she playfully mocked herself with a hint of bitterness, “Besides, I haven’t grown much taller in the past two years, so I can save on clothes.”
Evelyn looked at the threads of worry appearing on Quetzal’s face, not belonging to a young girl, and felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

“Since you two are friends of Miss Taylor, you can each have a dress from the store.”
Seizing the opportunity, Darren warmly ushered them into the store.
Lucy hurriedly declined, “That wouldn’t be appropriate.”
The dresses in the store were worth tens of thousands at the minimum.
Quetzal silently glanced at them and also shook her head.
She couldn’t let Evelyn go through any more trouble.
“Go ahead and choose.” Evelyn smiled at the two, “Don’t forget, Mia left a watch as compensation for mental damages.”
“This is what you deserve.”
Lucy said, “But that belongs to you…”
“Little aunt.” Evelyn, thinking of her lonely death in her previous life, couldn’t help but have red eyes, “We are family.”
Lucy was also moved, “Alright then.”
The two went inside, picked and chose, and eventually settled for the cheapest white dress.
Evelyn handed the watch to Darren.
Darren hesitated, “This…?”
“I’ll leave first. After settling the bill, could you please deposit the change back into a card and give the card to them? If I’m around, they won’t accept the money. Here’s my phone number. Give them with the card together. ” Watching the two walk away, Evelyn took out a piece of from
paper
her bag, wrote down her phone number, and handed it to Darren before leaving.
With her around, Lucy would definitely refuse to take back the money for the watch.
As for her little uncle, she would visit him when she had time.
Walking out of the women’s clothing section, Evelyn had no mood to shop any further. She went straight to the outdoor area using the escalator.
At this time, the sky outside had already lost its light, shrouded in a dull gray.

At this time, the sky outside had already lost its light, shrouded in a dull gray.
On the call log, it had been forty minutes since Henry’s call.
He hasn’t finished work yet?
She called him again.
This time, it rang for a long time before being picked up.
“It’s me.”
When David’s voice came through, Evelyn couldn’t help but feel her eyelids twitch.
“Why is it you? Where’s Henry?”
“Madam. Boss, he fell asleep, David answered, but there was a hint of urgency in his voice.
For someone like Henry, a workaholic, how could he fall asleep at the office? According to David, he seemed to have been asleep for quite some time.
A vague thought flashed through Evelyn’s mind, and her heart felt as if it were being held by an invisible claw, making her restless.
“David, is something wrong?”
David hesitated for a moment but felt that he couldn’t delay any longer. He spoke in a low voice, “There’s a problem with The Wilson Group’s project. The board is in an uproar, and without the boss, it’s likely to escalate.”
Upon hearing this, Evelyn’s brows furrowed tighter and a thread of thought, like a firework, lingered in her mind for a long time before erupting with a loud bang.
She remembered!
The next moment, Evelyn abruptly hung up the phone.
