Chapter 504 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

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.
Bert watched her cry uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. A sense of inexplicable
restlessness welled up in his heart. How deep must one’s love be to be tormented in such a way?
He had never felt it before, nor did he want to. However, when he saw how sad Evelyn was because of
Huston, he felt a trace of envy.
Originally, he just wanted to repay her for saving his life. However, he realized that he had developed
additional emotions toward her at this moment. He felt heartache when she cried, and when he learned
about the unfavorable progress of her case, a mixture of worry and relief washed over him. He was
relieved because it gave him another reason to take her away.
“Leave here and let go of this relationship if it causes you so much pain,” Bert said.
Evelyn slowly closed her eyes and ignored her tears. “Leave? If
you really care about me, print out this document and give me a copy.”
What did she want this for? Bert knew what to do and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
“Why do you want to take me away so much? Just because I once saved your life? Or is it because
you enjoy making things difficult for others?” She said with a heavy nasal voice. Although her words
were rude, they made people unable to get angry.
Bert took the handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, regardless of whether she used it.
“Don’t you believe me?”
“What do you have for me to believe?”
Her question made Bert speechless for a moment. Seeing her pale face, he paused for two seconds
and said, “What if I just don’t want to see you suffer so much?”

Hearing this, Evelyn opened her eyes. The incandescent light above her head shone on her, making
her vision a little blurry. With a wry smile, she said, “Thank you for your kindness.”
There was no hope left in the eyes of Bert. Evelyn didn’t believe him, never believed him.
It was not a pleasant feeling, and he would have long ignored it if it were someone else. But because it
was her, he couldn’t completely disregard it.
Evelyn’s emotions fluctuated intensely, and Bert had originally
planned to wait for her to calm down before leaving. However, his presence made it even more difficult
for her to calm down. Helpless in the situation, he had no choice but to instruct the police officers at the
station to take good care of her and then leave himself.
Throughout the night, the lights in Evelyn’s room remained on, and she held the printed document,
reading it over and over again for the entire night.
Only by repeatedly confirming every word on the document could she believe that what Bert said was
true: Huston had made a plea of guilt without her knowledge.
Evelyn stared at the signature at the end and imagined his expression when he signed his name. With
guilt, sadness, or helplessness? Or maybe he was just very calm.
All of this had nothing to do with her anymore. She was the one who had been abandoned, and the
person who had been abandoned did not need a reason.
