Sabrina's direct refusal caused Eva to sigh. She had witnessed the former marry with such anticipation, only to observe her waiting alone in marriage.
Even though Nelson had returned, Sabrina seemed indifferent now. Her eyes no longer lit up with excitement as they once did at the mention of Nelson. Eva genuinely felt sorry for her.
The current Sabrina bore a striking resemblance to her former self from over six years ago, when her father, Samson, passed away unexpectedly.
She appeared fragile, as if she might crumble. Yet, she did not cry. Instead, she comforted her mother while managing Samson's funeral affairs.
Sabrina accepted whatever fate had handed to her and strived hard to move forward.
"If you don't go, will you miss the chance to uncover the mastermind?" Eva asked.
"It's not easy to find the mastermind. Let's wait a bit longer."
Sabrina was well aware of it, so Eva did not try to persuade her further. She simply went off to attend to her tasks.
Half an hour later, Dylan arrived.
As soon as Eva saw him, she said curtly, "Ms. Wyatt won't go."
Dylan countered, "How can she not go? Don't you know what kind of rumors people are spreading? They're saying Ms. Wyatt relies on the Tucker family's influence to act all high and mighty.
"There's clearly a problem with the goods, but when someone came to resolve it, she shut the door in their face."
Eva was infuriated by those words. She found Amanda shameless for distorting the facts like this.
"Has Ms. Wyatt not endured enough slander over the years? If we clarify each issue individually, we won't have the time to work on anything else. I finally understand why she refuses to go.
"She can tolerate others' misunderstandings, but Mr. Tucker…"
Eva lowered her voice before adding, "If Mr. Tucker steps in, doesn't that imply he also blames Ms. Wyatt? Her attendance would only make matters worse!"
"No, that's not what Mr. Tucker thinks—" Dylan tried to explain, but Eva paid him no heed.
She simply turned and walked away.
Dylan sighed and continued, "Try asking Ms. Wyatt this—if she doesn't go, and something happens to Gerald, will she regret it?"
Eva frowned upon hearing that.
Sabrina overheard what Dylan said.
"Why is Gerald involved in this?"
…
Nelson did not return to Tucker Group or involve himself in the trading industry.
He felt that he should not have tangled himself in this mess. Somehow, Amanda had heard that Sabrina was his mother's goddaughter and sought out Ronaldo through indirect means.
