GoodReadChapter 374
With Evangeline not biting, Minnie turned her scheming eyes toward Trey.
She silently watched like a hawk, just waiting for Trey to drop a golden chance into her lap.
The moment she saw Thomas wavering with his cane, she knew it was go-time. "Stop the beating!"
Minnie's shout rang through the air. Without a care for her disheveled dress, she lunged onto Walter's back,
acting like a human shield, while sobbing her heart out, "Mr. Gordon, it's all on me. Please, stop hitting Walter!"
Trey, staring at that whirlwind of a woman, could only kick himself for being so forgetful.
Walter was caught red-handed with a lady, so was not she just as guilty? How did he end up grilling his grandson
and forgetting about the girl entirely?
Thomas, already in a bind with Trey pushing him to take action, found him out with the wild-haired woman's
sudden entrance..
He glanced at Trey, his voice a mix of relief and hesitation. "Mr. Gordon, what about this...?"
With a dismissive gesture, Trey signaled Thomas to drop the cane.
After catching Trey's eye signal, Thomas set his cane aside and stepped closer to the woman, his voice low and
serious. "Miss, the boss has squestions for you. Turn around and let's hear your answer!" Minnie, who had

were about to cry. "Mr. Gordon, go ahead and askanything."
She dabbed at her eyes while she spoke. Her small figure was hunched over, hidden under crumpled clothes, her
pale face downcast. She did not even look up as she spoke, the picture of misery.
That was all part of Minnie's plan.
Her thing with

Trey's good side.

Trey was old and distinguished, a man who had seen it all. To win him over, playing the damsel in distress was
key. If she could just make him feel sorry for her, she would be halfway through the door of the Gordon family!
Minnie was spot-on about people. Trey's anger melted away when he saw her like that. There he was, an old
man, about to speak, and he had already made a young girl cry. This felt like picking on a kid, no? "Whose
daughter are you?" Trey peered at her, but her head was bowed so low that he could not make out her face, so
he had to ask.
The Gordons were like towering oaks in Avalon City, with roots running deep and connections spreading far and
wide. If she were anybody in Avalon City, he would think twice before crossing them, out of Chapter 324
