Chapter 503 Take You Away Regardless of the Consequences
“I can find a way to find out,” Bert leaned slightly to the left, adopting a more casual sitting posture as if
he were sitting in his own upscale club. “While you eagerly await a victory, do you know what Huston is
doing?”
Evelyn felt her heart tighten and subconsciously retorted, “What else can he do except help me?”
“Help you?” Bert smiled briefly, took out the phone from his pocket, and pushed it in front of her. “Take
a look at it. This is how he helps you.”
Evelyn looked at the screen, knowing she shouldn’t, yet unable to resist the temptation to lower her
head and read the words displayed on it.
This was an exceptionally concise and clear electronic document that detailed the matters related to
this lawsuit, including the signature of the attorney-in-fact, Huston. Its credibility was remarkably high.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs a graduate of law studies, Evelyn could tell at a glance that there was almost no possibility of
fabrication.
She didn’t read it carefully; she just skimmed through it quickly, capturing the keywords. However, as
she continued reading, her expression grew increasingly grim.
Bert watched her scroll through the electronic document until the end, realizing she had almost finished
reading it. He leaned forward slightly, placing his hands on the desk, and asked, “How do you feel?”
Evelyn didn’t say anything, and the hair on her forehead covered her expression. Looking at the whole
document, the most impressive thing to her was…
“Considering the circumstances of voluntary surrender, we hope the court can render a lenient
judgment.”
Surrender?
Evelyn’s shoulders trembled. The door was closed, but she felt a chill on her back as if a cold wind had
poured in and poured into her heart.
“Impossible… That’s impossible!” Evelyn forcefully pushed away the phone. Her eyes uncontrollably
widened, her pupils contracted, and her whole body tensed.
Bert glanced at the phone on the table, picked it up, and put it in his pocket. “If you don’t believe me,
you can call him and ask.”
His words successfully stunned Evelyn. Why? Why did he have the audacity to say such a thing?
“Huston wouldn’t do that. He promised to clear my name, and I will never plead guilty!” Evelyn stood up
from her chair as if she couldn’t stand the atmosphere. She turned to the door and shouted, “Officer,
please take him out!”

have to face it.”
This was the first time that Bert had called her by her name so seriously.
The moment Evelyn sat down, tears welled up in her eyes. The police officers who heard the noise
opened the door. When they saw the situation inside, they stopped awkwardly.
“Ms. Shelton, you…”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bert’s sharp gaze. The police officer
immediately shut up and stood at the door, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
“I’ve said enough. You can go and ask him about the rest. I didn’t come here today to disgust you. I just
wanted to let you know that if you want to leave…” Bert suddenly leaned closer to Evelyn, speaking in
a voice only audible to the two of them, “I can take you away regardless of the consequences.”
