Chapter 516 Overwhelming Jealousy

• But he didn’t expose her lie directly. He responded in a low voice, “Alright, I understand. Take care of yourself.” “You too.” Bert would rather she tell him directly than be deceived by her. But what could he do? She chose this approach, and he had no standing to intervene forcefully. He could only silently support her decision. “Don’t worry about Lucas. I’m handling it.” “Okay,” After responding, Evelyn remembered what he had said earlier about targeting Huston’s company. She hesitated for a moment and added, “He seems to be more open now. Don’t be too aggressive for now.”
• After saying this, she clearly felt the man beside her freeze for a moment. She didn’t want to say it, but she had no choice given what he had done before. Bert didn’t know how to describe his feelings after hearing that. It was a mix of various emotions, all tangled together. Finally, he simply said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.” As long as she was happy, his time wouldn’t be wasted in vain. Before hanging up the phone, Bert called out to her, “Evelyn.” . She paused, “What is it?” “Remember, whenever it is, I’m on your side.” He spoke cach word with strength and conviction, creating a sense of reliability. Evelyn was deeply moved and felt guilty for her deception and concealment.
• She lowered her voice and said, “Bert, take care of yourself too.” In addition to her, he should think more about himself. Unexpectedly, the man just chuckled. After two seconds of silence, he spat out a few words, “As long as you are happy, so am I.” Evelyn had intended to comfort him further, but the intense gaze beside her made her hesitate with every word she spoke. In the end, she hastily ended the call. She placed the phone on the bedside table and lifted her eyelids, meeting a pair of restrained yet fiery black eyes. His gaze bore into her, unwavering and unyielding, making her heart race. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
