Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 151

But after shadowing Evangeline, witnessing her sabotage other people's relationships, and hearing from Giselle what kind of person she really was, Lily stopped caring altogether.

Frank wasn't rich, that much was true. But he'd landed a spot on a major project team at Fawkes Enterprises while still so young, and he was undeniably handsome. More importantly, the two of them genuinely loved each other.

Those were things Evangeline could only dream of having.

With that thought, a sense of balance returned to Lily's heart.

When dinner was ready, they sat down together as they used to, though each was lost in their own thoughts.

Frank struggled to find the right words, wondering how to bring up what Poppy had suggested: that Lily steal confidential technology from UME.

If Lily got caught, she'd be blacklisted from the entire industry.

But the chance to become the lead on Fawkes Enterprises' new project was almost impossible to resist.

If he really landed that position, they wouldn't have to keep renting cramped apartments anymore; they could finally breathe easy.

As he weighed his options, Lily suddenly spoke, her voice heavy with frustration. "I think I'm about to get fired."

Frank blinked in surprise. "What happened?"

Lily told him everything about what had happened with Evangeline, pouting. "All I did was say one thing. She threatened me first, anyway."

"And I didn't think she'd actually pull it off."

A glimmer of interest flashed in Frank's eyes. "Wait—you're saying she came up with a product UME can actually release?"

Lily didn't notice the sudden change in his expression and added, "She couldn't have done it alone. Mr. Carlisle must have helped her. How could a stay-at-home mom who's been out of the game for five years do something like that by herself?"

Frank barely heard her.

He didn't care who had developed the product, or what their background was.

At the mention of Fawkes Enterprises and the house, Lily's heart pounded in her chest.

She hesitated.

…

The next morning, as Evangeline arrived at UME, she spotted Giselle sneaking downstairs.

That was the way to Glenn's office.

Over the past few days, it had become obvious: Giselle's real reason for coming to the company was Glenn. Every time he visited the Tech Division, Giselle's eyes practically glued themselves to him.

Now, Giselle had noticed her too.

She shot Evangeline a guilty glare and muttered, "What are you staring at? Just because you begged Glenn to let you in here doesn't mean you're anything special. You might have everyone else fooled, but I know exactly what you're worth."
