Chapter 273 Outrageous questioning
Ervchaplin wanted to slap himself instantly after hearing what Evan Hughes said. What did he just say?
‘my brain may not be working well just now.” Ervchaplin said with a passive-aggressive smile.
Evan Hughes didn’t look at him, looked out of the window, and then made a slight mockery. “I think you’ve been out of shape for the past two days. If you can’t, you can consider arranging for you to go to a branch office to sober you up.”
Ervin Chaplin’s whole body became angry at this, and he said quickly, “No, no, no, I made a mistake. Don’t send me to the branch office, or I will go crazy.”
After learning his lesson, Ervin Chaplin stopped talking, and Evan Hughes kept his mouth shut.
Only after a while, Ervin Chaplin couldn’t help asking again, “So are we going back to the Hughes Group now?”
“Hmm.”
Seeing Evan Hughes was not in a good mood, Ervin Chaplin didn’t speak again.
After returning to the Hughes Group, before Evan Hughes and Ervin Chaplin were quiet for long, they heard the front desk say that someone asked for an audience. After hearing that it was Peter, Ervin Chaplin’s first reaction was to have him kicked out, but Evan Hughes stopped him.
“Let him in. I’d like to see what he wants to do.”
“But …”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Ervchaplin also wanted to say something, but after seeing Evan Hughes’expression so firm, he couldn’t say anything, but nodded helplessly.
After a while, Pete stormed in.
As soon as he entered the office, Ervin Chaplin tried to stop him for fear that he would do something to Evan Hughes, but before he could stop him, he was stopped by Evan Hughes.
“Let him come over. It’s okay.”
Listening to the tone of Evan Hughes, Ervin Chaplin was worried, but after all, he was still watching, and he thought he wouldn’t do anything, so he stopped.
Without Ervin Chaplin’s block, Peter rushed directly to Evan Hughes, smacking his palm on the table.
Evan Hughes looked up and saw the anger on the man’s face.
“Why?”
Seeing Evan Hughes’s tone is so dismissive, Pete is even more furious.
“If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have died, so you killed her, you know?”
“So, has this matter anything to do with you?”
Evan Hughes’sudden reply was that Peter was stunned, but soon the man came to his senses and began to question him.
‘she has asked you for help now, so why don’t you save her? Instead, watch her die helplessly. Are you really so cruel? ”
Peter’s question after question only makes Evan Hughes feel ridiculous.
“What about you? In what capacity did you come here to question me? Are you her friend or what? ”
Pete’s expression was obviously one leng, and then he faltered out, “What is my relationship with her? I don’t need to tell you, and besides, do you care? If you care, you won’t let her die. ”
He questioned again and again, as if Evan Hughes had deliberately killed Marian Jacob.
I saw Evan Hughes slowly stand up and look at Peter in front of him. “Since you knew she was going to die, what were you doing?”
“I …”
Before Peter could come up with an explanation for himself, he heard a man’s disdainful voice again.
“You knew that note for a long time and that this day would come, but you were indifferent and only chose to question me here after she left, so what was your intention?”
Pete’s expression was so ugly that even Ervin Chaplin, who was standing on the side, had to admire him. Evan Hughes was able to ask Pete with these questions that were completely unsolvable.
“Pete, don’t lecture me here with a gesture of God. You don’t deserve it.”
With a bang, Peter’s fist hit the table again, as if he didn’t feel any pain at all.
The distortion in his eyes and his desire to tear Evan Hughes apart are obvious, but as Evan Hughes said, he has no reason to question him now.
But so what?
“Evan Hughes, I really think highly of you. No matter what she has done before, at least she has stayed by your side for so many years, but you just watched her lose her life because of Suzy Carters.”
Peter seemed disappointed when he said this, then turned and left the office.
With Pete’s departure, Evan Hughes and Ervin Chaplin were left in the office.
Ervchaplin had been angry with Pete, and he was a little smug. As a result, when he turned around, he saw Evan Hughes’s face was very poor, and he was surprised, so he quickly walked to his side.
“Are you in good health?” Erwenchaplin was very worried and asked.
“I’m fine.”
After Evan Hughes finished this sentence, Ervin Chaplin helped him sit down.
“What you said is true. You can’t burn yourself out because of this. You should think that your wife is still waiting for you at home. You must pay attention to your health.”
Evan Hughes nodded, then reached out and rubbed his own temple.
Ervchaplin saw this and said softly, “I’ll make you a cup of coffee, so that you can feel more refreshed.”
Who knows, he was stopped by Evan Hughes just after he took two steps.
“No, go to the Smith family.”
Ervchaplin paused, then turned to look at Evan Hughes and asked, “Don’t you continue to work?”
As soon as I said it, I received a cold eye from Evan Hughes, and after he reacted quickly, he wanted to sew up his mouth.
“Okay, okay, then let’s go.”
By the time Evan Hughes and Ervin Chaplin arrived at the Smith family, it was already forty minutes later. Suzy Carters had already finished lunch and was sitting on the balcony upstairs, thinking about things.
Because today is a working day, there is no one in the Smith family, the only one is a Jepson Smith who says he is “not idle”, and it is he who opened the door for Evan Hughes and Ervin Chaplin.
“It’s coming.”
Jepson Smith’s expression was not unexpected, as if he had already expected Evan Hughes to come.
Evan Hughes sighed softly, and then walked into the Smith family.
As soon as Jepson Smith closed the door, he heard Evan Hughes over there asking, “Is she upstairs?”
“Yes, I locked myself upstairs all morning, and I didn’t call her down until lunch. As a result, I locked myself in the room again after dinner. If she goes on like this, I’m afraid she’ll shut herself out of order.”
On hearing Jepson Smith’s words, Evan Hughes couldn’t help but frown, and then went upstairs in silence.
