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 uncleâs family. Just before her death, she heard that her little uncleâs family had tragically died in an unfinished building, seemingly deceived of their wealth by someone.
She gently touched Quetzalâs head, âThereâs no point in idolizing others. You should strive to become someone elseâs idol.â
âOkay.â Quetzal nodded firmly.
Watching the girlâs 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 girlâs life.
âLittle aunt, why are you here? Is something wrong?â
âEvelyn,â¦â Quetzal was about to say something, but Lucy stopped her.
âItâs nothing, every thing is okay.â She looked a bit embarrassed, âQuetzalâs school is having a cultural festival and needs a performance, so we came to the mall to look for a dress.â
âI didnât expect, I didnât expect the prices nowadays to rise so quickly.â
After saying that, she looked regretfully at the white dress in the store, a sense of guilt rising in her weathered eyes.
âMom.â Quetzal patted her chest sensibly, âIâve said it. Iâm naturally beautiful, and anything looks good on me. I donât need a new dress; I can just wear the ones we have.â
After speaking, she playfully mocked herself with a hint of bitterness, âBesides, I havenât grown much taller in the past two years, so I can save on clothes.â
Evelyn looked at the threads of worry appearing on Quetzalâs face, not belonging to a young girl, and felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.
15:40 Thu, 22 Feb GBF Chapter 81 We Are Family âSince you two are friends of Miss Taylor, you can each have a dress from the store.â
Seizing the opportunity, Darren warmly ushered them into the store.
Lucy hurriedly declined, âThat wouldnât be appropriate.â
The dresses in the store were worth tens of thousands at the minimum.
Quetzal silently glanced at them and also shook her head.
She couldnât let Evelyn go through any more trouble.
âGo ahead and choose.â Evelyn smiled at the two, âDonât forget, Mia left a watch as compensation for mental damages.â
âThis is what you deserve.â
Lucy said, âBut that belongs to youâ¦â
âLittle aunt.â Evelyn, thinking of her lonely death in her previous life, couldnât help but have red eyes, âWe are family.â
Lucy was also moved, âAlright then.â
The two went inside, picked and chose, and eventually settled for the cheapest white dress.
Evelyn handed the watch to Darren.
Darren hesitated, âThisâ¦?â
âIâll leave first. After settling the bill, could you please deposit the change back into a card and give the card to them? If Iâm around, they wonât accept the money. Hereâs my phone number. Give them with the card together. â 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 womenâs 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.

On the call log, it had been forty minutes since Henryâs call.
He hasnât finished work yet?
She called him again.
This time, it rang for a long time before being picked up.
âItâs me.â
When Davidâs voice came through, Evelyn couldnât help but feel her eyelids twitch.
âWhy is it you? Whereâs Henry?â
âMadam. 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 Evelynâs mind, and her heart felt as if it were being held by an invisible claw, making her restless.
âDavid, is something wrong?â
David hesitated for a moment but felt that he couldnât delay any longer. He spoke in a low voice, âThereâs a problem with The Wilson Groupâs project. The board is in an uproar, and without the boss, itâs likely to escalate.â
Upon hearing this, Evelynâs 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.
