Chapter 289 People Who Are Abandoned

• Don’t Need a Reason “You’re talking nonsense!” Evelyn hugged her head with both hands, shaking it continuously. Tears kept falling to the ground, quickly drying up and disappearing. “You know best whether I’m talking nonsense or not. Is this something you can’t handle? How will you face it on the day of the actual trial?” Bert’s voice was like a curse. The more Evelyn didn’t want to hear it, the more it crept into her ears.
• His words were also like a dagger stabbing into her chest. How could she believe it? How could she dare to face it? She never imagined such an outcome. It was too cruel. Although Evelyn didn’t believe it, memories of previous inquiries about the progress of the case came to her mind. She recalled Huston’s ambiguous and evasive responses, always avoiding important issues. He had never been completely honest with her, yet she had foolishly believed in him. Evelyn was on the brink of emotional breakdown, laughing and crying at the same time.
• She had placed all her trust and her last remnants of courage in Huston, only to be faced with such an outcome in the end. She couldn’t blame him for being cruel, but she was too stupid to walk into the trap. She was stupid enough to sit in this room and fantasize that he would take her home as he said. “He promised me…” Evelyn suppressed her cries and murmured in a low voice. The only response she received was silence. How ironic. How could his heart be so hypocritical? He made promises to her in front of her, but behind her back, he made the choice she least wanted to see.
