Chapter 522 I Didn’t Kill Anyone
At that time, Huston turned his wrist and turned his face slightly. “Come here.”
Evelyn didn’t hear him clearly. “What?”
He hooked his finger and motioned for her to bend down.
Evelyn didn’t think much of it and obediently bent down, thinking he had something to say.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she bent down, his warm lips kissed her lips.
“Hmm…” She panicked, struggling to push him away, but no matter how hard she fought, she couldn’t
escape his control.
After the kiss, Evelyn was already out of breath. Huston didn’t think it was enough, so he held her in his
arms and pressed her against the desk. His hands roamed up and down her body.
Evelyn blushed and kept pushing him away. “I, I’m talking about something serious!”
“This is serious.” Huston’s tone was calm, which was completely different from before.
Evelyn felt that she had been tricked and was annoyed. She refused to cooperate no matter what.
Huston was slightly angry with her attitude, but he couldn’t force her. He could only coax her gently in
her car. “If you perform well, I’ll let you attend the
trial. Don’t be so stubborn. You’re not being cooperative at all…”

a legal battle, especially not under the current circumstances.
Her memories gradually faded away, and someone seemed to be calling her name.
“Evelyn, you can speak now.” The female judge’s voice came from the front, dignified and cold.
Only then did Evelyn come back to her senses, not realizing it had come to the order she spoke in.
She adjusted the black microphone in front of her, getting closer, but she didn’t rush to speak. Instead,
she lifted her gaze and scanned everyone present, her eyes moving across their faces one by one until
they rested on Huston’s face. In his dark eyes, there was evident concern and expectation, an intense
longing that bordered on pleading. She lowered her eyes, gripping her fingers tightly, feeling her heart
pounding fiercely. Taking a deep breath, she slowly exhaled and uttered each word with determination,
“I did not commit murder.”
As soon as the words fell, it caused a sensation. Not only Huston but even the judge and the
prosecutor were astonished and turned their gaze toward her.
Although they had witnessed instances of recantation in court before, it was the first time they had seen
such a significant contradiction between themselves and their lawyer in court.
The presiding judge glanced at the materials in hand and couldn’t help but frown. “Please give a
speech again with the support of the evidence you have prepared.”
Evelyn had never been so brave before. She felt like a little shrimp who had been exiled into the deep
sea. She knew that she couldn’t change anything, but she still struggled desperately against fate. “I
said I didn’t kill anyone.”
The same words were repeated again. Not only did they not weaken, but they were even more certain
than before.
She didn’t kill anyone. She knew very well that she didn’t break the law.
Huston’s face instantly turned very unpleasant. It wasn’t
the kind of subtle change on the surface but rather a terrible emotion that emanated from deep within.
In the courtroom, he had always been the calmest and most composed person, but at this moment, he
couldn’t maintain his composure any longer.
Things were getting out of control. He didn’t like the feeling of losing control.
He raised his hand to signal to the judge. “We request a ten-minute suspension…”
“No need!” Evelyn rejected his suggestion almost at the same time. Her chest heaved up and down
violently. If observed closely, one could see her shoulders trembling slightly. She took a deep breath,
trying to keep her voice steady. “I understand

prove my innocence is currently very
limited. However, even so, I want to declare, with my character and well-being as a guarantee, that I
did not commit murder and had no intention to harm anyone. Sandy’s death has no connection to me. I
had always injected the syringe intending to help her. The person who informed me about the syringe
was another party involved, the plaintiff Mia Klein.”
Her sudden speech disrupted the smooth process, and the presiding judge rarely saw such a situation.
He raised his hand to adjust his glasses and said, “That is to say, you denied your lawyer’s claims just
now, right?”
Hearing this, Evelyn looked in Huston’s direction. They were not far away from each other. They both
knew that once these words were spoken, the direction of the trial would change.
Evelyn knew that she didn’t want to be willful, but…
She turned her face away and looked at the judge firmly. “Yes.”
“Do you have any evidence to support your current statement?”
The court fell into an urgent silence as soon as the judge finished speaking. Evelyn’s hands were so
cold that she almost couldn’t stretch her fingers. She gritted her teeth and frowned. “No.”
