Chapter 523 Remember What You Said Today
The judge’s expression changed slightly. After looking down at
the information in his hand and ensuring the defendant had not provided any evidential information, he
said in a low voice, “Please make a reasonable statement.”
Evelyn remained upright, refusing to bow her head. “Justice lies in the hearts of people. I have never
done such a thing and will not admit to it or plead guilty.”
“Do you have anything else to add?”
Evelyn shook her head and thanked him politely, “No, thank you.”
After her speech, her microphone was turned off, and Evelyn’s gaze remained fixed on the table,
appearing lost in thought. In fact, her whole senses were affected by Huston. Even without looking at
him, she could imagine the expression on his face at that moment.
If it weren’t for the court, he would have angrily thrown her out.
Taking a self-mocking smirk, Evelyn didn’t divert her gaze and kept it fixed until the end of the trial
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhen the verdict was announced as scheduled. However, considering the entire process, it was almost
confirmed that Evelyn was involved in the
murder, so the verdict was unlikely to have a significant difference.
Had Huston lost the lawsuit?
Evelyn didn’t know, and it shouldn’t matter. After all, he advocated innocence and presumably got the
outcome he wanted.
After leaving the courtroom, according to normal circumstances, Evelyn should have been taken away
and handcuffed. However, Huston used his connections to arrange a meeting with her in a small and
crowded room.
“Why did you do this?” Huston exuded a strong, cold, and hostile aura, his brow revealing
disappointment and anxiety. “Didn’t I tell you? Don’t speak out randomly, and you must not contradict
my statements. What exactly did you hear?”
“I heard it.” Evelyn leaned against the wall. “But I can’t do it.”
“Heh.” Huston laughed lightly. The emotions he had been suppressing for the past few days were on
the verge of exploding, and he was on the verge of collapse. “Are you satisfied now?”
“I’m not satisfied.” Evelyn did not hide it at all. “They will only sentence me to a heavier sentence.”
Huston stared at the woman in front of him. She appeared so fragile, and he wanted to crush her with
just a little force. However, she was more resolute than anyone else. “Why didn’t
you listen to my advice earlier? Why did you have to go this far before giving up? You…”
“If I did as you said, I would have truly given up.” After the trial ended, Evelyn’s inner peace grew
stronger. Only she knew the courage it took to say those words in court. She was barely holding on.
“Huston, I’m not afraid to face difficulties and challenges as a human being. I only hope to be an
innocent person.” Evelyn gently caressed his cheek, feeling a faint pang in her heart. “I know you’ve
put in a lot of effort and hard work in this case, but I want you to understand that I am not the one who
caused all
this destruction. It is Mia.”

“Enough!” Huston interrupted her words in a low voice. “We could have done better. Why did it have to
be like this? Do you realize how terrible the consequences will be for you? Evelyn, this is not a game.
Every step needs to be extremely cautious, not driven by impulse!”
“Driven by impulse?” As soon as Evelyn heard this, she wanted to laugh. “Do you think I’m acting on
impulse?”
His words were so belittling, directly negating her perseverance, emotional struggle, and all her
thoughts on this matter.
Evelyn put down her raised hand. At this moment, there was nothing else she wanted to say.
She felt so disregarded, so unimportant.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Huston couldn’t accept her sad eyes. His extreme concern made him lose
his mind. “It’s all because of your willfulness.”
“My willfulness…” Evelyn giggled, her laughter sounding eerie in the silent room. The laughter grew
louder, then suddenly vanished into the air. The mockery in her eyes was gradually replaced by
determination and hatred.
There was no greater sorrow than the loss of her heart. At this moment, she had completely given up.
Her eyes were filled with tears, burning with weakness. Her dry and cracked lips had a smile that made
Huston feel uneasy. “Huston, remember what you said today.”
