Chapter 740
Chapter 739:
Eva turned and headed downstairs, her spirit broken, shuffling toward her own room in a daze.
Having been waiting at the foot of the stairs, Wanda quickly fell into step behind her.
Watching Eva’s despondent state, Wanda cautiously asked, “Mommy, what happened p>
With a flat voice, Eva answered, “He doesn’t love me. He never did. He wants me dead p>
It was less of an answer to Wanda’s question and more of a murmur to herself. Sorrow pressed down on her, clouding every thought.
Wanda stood there in shock. Eva was her only real support in the Campbell family, and she couldn’t bear to see Eva fall apart. “Please, Mommy, please don’t be like this. You’re scaring me. Tell me what happened p>
Eva gave no reply, her eyes focused somewhere far away, completely lost.
Wanda didn’t dare push Eva, but she hovered nearby, anxious to help. After who knew how long, Eva suddenly straightened up and said, “No, I won’t let it end like this p>
Wanda jumped at the sudden declaration. Before she could say anything, Eva faced her and spoke firmly. “Wanda, we can’t just sit back and wait. It’s time we do something p>
Though confused, Wanda gave a quick nod.
In a rush, Eva took her hand. “Wanda, you have to hold onto Cole and marry him. That’s our only way forward. Do you understand p>
Years ago, to marry Arthur, Eva had fallen out with Ruben and Jarrett. Both men had declared that if she dared marry into the Campbell family, she could no longer count on the Evans family for support. At that time, she had insisted she would make her own way, separate from them. Thus, she had been abandoned by the Evans family.

Now, Ruben was old, and Jarrett’s health was fading. Power in the Evans family rested with Cole. Eva knew Cole could offer the protection she needed. If Wanda married Cole, that would be like holding onto a lifeline.
Suddenly, Wanda grasped her mother’s plan and nodded eagerly. “I will, Mommy!” Since Cole had proposed to her, all she had to do was accept. As long as nothing changed, she was certain to become his wife. That thought made her feel proud.
Even so, Eva’s anxiety didn’t fade, and she made up her mind to go out at once. Wanda called after her, “Where are you going, Mommy p>
Eva didn’t pause or look back. “I need to find Cole. There’s something urgent I have to discuss with him p>
As soon as Wanda heard Eva was heading out to find Cole, her eyes lit up with excitement. She quickly followed Eva, calling out, “Wait, Mommy! I’ll come with you p>
While Wanda had been infatuated with Milton since childhood, that didn’t stop her from being smitten with Cole. Why should she have to choose just one? Who said a woman couldn’t fall for two incredible men at once? Milton and Cole were both devastatingly handsome, each remarkable in his own way. Ending up with either of them would make her feel like the luckiest woman alive. For now, her pursuit of Milton felt hopeless—time to turn all her focus to Cole.
Wanda and Trinity were more alike than either would admit. Sisters not just in blood, but in the way they tangled themselves in love’s confusion. Just as Trinity had once been hesitant about choosing Cole or Jason, Wanda now stood torn between pursuing Milton and winning Cole’s heart. Winning one meant the regret of losing the other. And if she lost them both? It would shatter her.
