Chapter 200 Let’s See Who’s More Stubborn
They slept in separate rooms for the night. When Huston woke Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
up the next morning, Evelyn had already left. It was not yet six
o’clock, and Huston was not in the mood to work out. It was
the first time that he had gone out without exercise.
After returning to the company, Huston took the envelope
from the car and handed it to Steve. When Steve saw the
photo, he was stunned for a long time. However, his good professionalism made him know that it was PS when he saw the first photo.
“Add another threat to Jerry’s case.” Huston tapped his fingers
on the table. “Hurry up. The trial will be held as soon as
possible. You don’t need me to emphasize how the lawsuit will be carried out, do you?”
Steve nodded hurriedly. “No need. I understand what you
mean.”
If Jerry went bankrupt, his reputation would be ruined. It would be best if he could be hated by everyone in Jewel City like a rat crossing the street.
Lawyer Warren watched as Huston walked out of the
conference room. He couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat as he looked at the documents in his hand. Originally, it was just an ordinary divorce case, but now it was no longer as simple as it used to be. The best outcome would probably be bankruptcy, and Jerry might even be locked up for two more
years.
Lawyer Warren sighed silently. Jerry could only blame himself for provoking the wrong person and paying a painful price.
After the lawsuit was officially filed, Mr. Warren informed Evelyn immediately. After such a long time, Evelyn was no longer in high spirits. Upon hearing the news, she felt pretty calm in secret. Evelyn even sighed that this day finally came.
“Mr. Warren, do I have a high chance of winning this lawsuit?”
Steve raised his eyes and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Shelton. The
only difference is the amount of sentence.”
Evelyn paused for a moment before asking, “Will the sentence
be severe?”
Mr. Warren nodded. “Maybe.”
Evelyn knew that It was Jerry who did this thing, but Evelyn did not intend to plead for Jerry. Jerry had gone too far. First, he had ground away her love, then it was family affection, and
finally, he had used up all his sympathy. Evelyn no longer had any extra feelings for this man.
After returning to the office, Evelyn was absent-minded and made a lot of small mistakes at work. Ada leaned over and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you quarrel with Mr. Lloyd?”
Evelyn was a little surprised. “Why is it so obvious?”
“Uh, it’s a little obvious.” Ada didn’t ask much about their
relationship. Ada just comforted her and returned to her post.
After thinking about it for a while, Evelyn was in a dilemma. She reflected on herself and blamed Huston at the same time. Her mind was about to break down. Evelyn couldn’t help but send a message to Grace and tell her the whole story.
Grace tried to persuade her. “In my opinion, men don’t like women to look through their mobile phones. After all, it’s private, and even the most basic trust is gone. You have indeed gone too far, but he is also responsible for this matter. If Huston has something to say, just say it. Anyone will be
curious.”
“That’s right; I didn’t do it on purpose.” Evelyn echoed.
“However, maybe his family’s affairs are complicated. It’s hard
to say. Don’t push him too hard. Anyway, it’s not about him
contacting other women.”
Evelyn’s idea matched what Grace said. However, after thinking about it, Evelyn became even more conflicted. She did not feel that she was wrong about this matter, but Huston seemed to be right. However, Evelyn really did not like Huston
hiding everything from her as if she was an outsider.
Evelyn didn’t know what to do until she got off work. On the contrary, she was scolded by Flora because of some minor
mistakes in her work.
When Evelyn got home from work in the evening, she carried her bag and walked to the subway station instead of waiting for him. Royal Villa was far away from the downtown area, so it took her two times to get there. By the time Evelyn got home, it was almost eight o’clock.
Evelyn took off her flat shoes at the door. She felt
uncomfortable and light-headed.
Evelyn collapsed on the sofa in the living room. It didn’t take
long for Huston to walk down from the third floor. However,
Huston wasn’t looking for her. He took out a bottle of coffee
from the refrigerator as if he wanted to refresh himself.
Seeing him come down and walk up again without even
sparing her a glance, Evelyn punched the air in anger. “Fine, just ignore me. Let’s see who’s more stubborn!” Evelyn thought.
