Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce
Chapter 521

Chapter 521 Be Good?

"What if I plead guilty? Considering the circumstances of voluntary surrender, I might receive a lighter sentence and be released on bail," Evelyn pushed away from his embrace, pointing to the left side of her chest. "But every day, whether I open or close my eyes, I'll remember that I'm a murderer. I can't defend myself, and I wake up feeling miserable. Everyone will know I'm a murderer, my parents will feel ashamed, and my friends and relatives will see me as disgraceful. Only I know that I'm not a murderer, and I can't give up my innocence! This is my one and last chance. You want me to confess, saying it's for my good, but this shadow will haunt me for a lifetime. I'll never forget..."

What saddened her the most was not being framed by Mia or the criticism from the outside world but that she desperately wanted to prove her innocence, yet she couldn't say anything. And it was the beloved man who asked her to do so.

No one could experience this kind of feeling. They were never framed like this, so they would never know how painful it was,

"Evelyn!" Huston raised his voice and called out her name, hoping to wake her up. "I know you're in pain. I know you don't want to, but what can I do? This is the reality!"

Looking at his red-rimmed eyes, Evelyn suddenly felt like something had been peeled out of her body. The feeling of her spirit being drained instantly made her feel empty and terrified.

That was right. He didn't want it to be like this, but he had no choice.

Evelyn, you've pinned all your hopes on this man but forgotten he's a human, not a god. He loves you, but he can't fully

understand you.

It's necessary to weigh the pros and cons. I'm an adult now. Why don't you understand? There's no need to make things difficult for him again.

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Evelyn couldn't tell if she was completely disappointed or open-minded. In short, her emotions became a little erratic, and she suddenly didn't want to fight for it anymore.

Forget it. That's it.

Perhaps Bert was right. She had to wait for the result before she could give up. It was torture for them to each other.

The trial was about to begin, and there wasn't much time left. Huston still wanted to say something, but a staff member had already come to call him.

As a lawyer, he needed to enter the court first. Although Huston could not let her go in his heart, he could not let the judge wait. Before leaving, he hugged her tightly and said, "Be good and believe me." Evelyn sat still and did not respond to him. She only relaxed

when she heard his footsteps getting farther and farther away- from her.

She looked down at the documents on her lap and smiled mockingly.

Be good?

She would not let him down.

Evelyn put the documents aside casually, and a staff member behind her reminded her, "Ms. Shelton, you'd better read it in advance, or it'll be easy to forget.

"No need." She refused without hesitation.

The staff member thought she had made preparations in advance, so he didn't say anything more.

Sitting in the room, Evelyn maintained the same posture until someone approached and opened the adjacent door. She was still wearing the attire of the detention center, appearing like a criminal, although she was not one. Escorted by two armed police officers, one on each side, she maintained a composed posture and stood there firmly and calmly. To outsiders, she seemed remorseless, but for those close to her, there was nothing but heartache.

No spectators were in the courtroom for this trial, and none of her family or friends were present. There were only the parties involved and relevant personnel.

Evelyn looked at Huston, who was not too far away from her, and her thoughts suddenly drifted a little far away...

She made coffee downstairs on the weekend and brought it to the study. Huston was having a video conference, talking about professional terms. Some of them she could understand, and some others she couldn't. In short, he was shining, which was the temperament given by his professionalism.

She stood aside and waited for him to hang up the phone. Then she went around to his back and massaged his shoulders flatteringly. "I haven't attended your trial after all this time. When do you plan to let me witness it?"

As a lawyer, she admired such a big shot from the bottom of her heart.
