However, Lydia's appearance was bound to be a game-changer.
It was not just the elusive Lydia. The people with her were all carrying packages, as if they were all in on a secret
plan to make a getaway.
The Foster family caught wind of the odd behavior and wasted no tin alerting Evangeline.
The beauty salon was in the complete opposite direction from Emerald of the Highlands, but Evangeline knew
what she had to do. Lydia was too important; she held the key to proving her mother's innocence and uncovering
the shadowy figures who had taken her. Without hesitation, Evangeline ordered the driver to turn the car around
and head for the salon.
Despite her exhaustion, Evangeline felt the weight of the situation was far greater. She could always catch up on
sleep after that was all over.
It was that quick decision that kept her off the highway of doom, narrowly dodging a bullet.
Evangeline raced to Sunny Glow Beauty Salon, arriving just as the dust settled from the recent commotion. It
was peaceful once again.
Her bodyguard, who had been waiting to meet her, hurried over with an update.
"Miss, we've just received word that our team has caught up with Lydia's car. Should we take her into custody
right now?"
She was about to say 'absolutely' but stopped herself. How on earth had Lydia, an old lady, managed to stay
under the radar in Avalon City for so long, especially with the Gordons and Fosters watching? It meant only one
thing: Lydia had powerful backing, someone who could stand toe-to-toe with both
families.

The Gordons had the South, and the Fosters had the North. For years, the balance of power had been
unshakable. Who was that new player on the field?
Lydia's connection to them was the million-dollar question.
As the puzzle pieces clicked into place, Evangeline made a snap decision.
"Let's not tip her off. Keep a tail on Lydia, and I'll make the call when | get there."
"Ms. Evangeline, chasing her down will mean going really fast. Maybe you should..."
The bodyguard glanced at Evangeline's baby bump, clearly worried, and hesitated before offering his advice.
"Maybe you should stay here and wait for updates. I'll lead the team myself-"
"No way!" blurted Evangeline without hesitation.
After all, Lydia was the villain who had taken her mother's life. That alone was reason enough for Evangeline to
personally ensure Lydia was caught and brought to justice.
Then there was the matter of her pregnancy...
With a hand on her growing belly, Evangeline's face showed a flicker of concern, but her voice was resolute as
she declared, "I have to be there this time!

For safety's sake, Evangeline, assisted by her bodyguard, settled into the car's safety seat. She meticulously
checked the seatbelt and all the safety features before they embarked on their mission.
In Evangeline's mind, chasing down Lydia did not conflict with keeping her unborn child safe. She was
determined to do both.
The highway was a blur as a convoy of identical black cars tore down the road, turning heads with their sleek
presence. Evangeline, the cherished young heiress of the Foster family, rode in the second car.
Just then, her bodyguard's phone rang with news from an informant.
"Boss, Lydia's car has ducked onto the Newstead Zone highway, and she's picking up speed. | think she's onto
us!"
The urgency in the informant's voice was palpable. The bodyguard glanced at Evangeline.
"Ms. Evangeline, given the situation..."
"Just go for the arrest!"
