Chapter 28 Looking into the dark room, Evelyn took a sharp breath as she saw Samantha and Dennis, who had been tortured to the point of almost being unrecognizable. She did hate them. It was satisfying to see this scene. But Evelyn truly felt that these two people should have been punished by the law, not tortured like this. Theodore looked at Evelyn’s shocked expression and felt himself trembling with excitement. He looked at her with eager anticipation in hist eyes. “Evelyn, I didn’t want to hand over the person because I thought you were right.” “Everyone had to pay the price for the mistakes they made.” “In fact, before I took action against them, I already knew the truth of the matter and had collected a lot of evidence,” “But I feel that just sending them to prison like this is letting them off too easily.” Upon hearing Theodore’s words, Evelyn couldn’t help but speak her mind. “But Theodore, the main culprit should be you. They may have gone too far, but if it weren’t for you adding fuel to the fire, Josie wouldn’t have died.” “Why haven’t you realized until now that you caused all the tragedies, the person lying inside should also be you!” 0.00% 06.04 Chapter 28 Evelyn shouted the last sentence excitedly. She suddenly felt a little scared when she looked into Theodore’s dark, emotionless eyes. Her face turned pale, and she struggled to speak, “I have to go back.” Theodore hurried after Evelyn. He only asked one question, “Evelyn, are you going to call the police?” Evelyn would definitely do this. But she didn’t dare to speak up now. She always felt that Theodore’s eyes were even crazier now. But until they reached the door, Theodore still didn’t stop Evelyn. He glanced at Marques, who came to pick up Evelyn, and only said a few words softly. “Evelyn, I won’t stop you from doing whatever you want.” “But please, remember that you promised to fulfill my request.‘ Upon hearing this, Evelyn did not look back…
Chapter 27 It was also unclear whether it was Evelyn’s illusion. She seemed to see a glint of tears in Theodore’s eyes after saying this sentence. But she no longer believed him. Perhaps due to his previous sincere attitude, Evelyn’s attitude softened for a moment. But now knowing that he hides people, the last bit of softness in her heart also disappeared. Theodore spoke, his voice trembling slightly. It was unclear whether it was due to anger or emotion. “Evelyn, I know you hated me, but believe me, I didn’t have those thoughts.” “I just wanted you to accompany me in doing one more thing, please.” “As long as you promise, I will let you see them right away.” Evelyn furrowed her brow slightly, “What’s the matter?” Theodore heard her ask this way, and finally there was a hint of a smile on his face. He asked cautiously. “Evelyn, do you remember how we got together back then?” Upon hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Evelyn’s eyes, but she did not speak. It was obvious that she knew, she simply did not want to speak. Theodore noticed that his eyes had become a bit more bitter, so he decided to speak up on his own. 0.00% 06:04 288 Vouchers Chapter 27 “At that time, I tricked you into going out to sea, telling you that the boat had a problem and that we might not survive today.” “I said, if I were to die, but could be with you in the final moments, I would be willing.” “I didn’t expect you to tell me that you said a person’s life is only once, no matter what, you have to find a way to live on.”…
Chapter 26 Evelyn thought. It would be very difficult to overturn a case that had already been decided. But to her surprise, she couldn’t even find Dennis from back then. Dennis, along with his mother, disappeared without a trace. Evelyn also made a special trip to the hometown of the two. She spent five days and nights before she finally got some useful information. It was said that the two were taken away by a black car late at night. The man didn’t know what brand the car was. He only said the license plate number was easy to remember, a string of 9s. Evelyn’s face paled for a moment. Such a license plate number could only belong to Theodore. It turned out that the person was hidden by Theodore. い Evelyn remembered how Theodore had traveled all the way from abroad to tell her how much he regretted everything. He also mentioned being deceived by Samantha. He didn’t know the truth of the matter, nor did he know that her Josie had actually been violated. ぐ ” These words came back to Evelyn’s mind. She couldn’t help but find it all very amusing. She took a deep breath and, as agreed, handed the money over to the person who provided the information. After returning to Houston without telling Marques, she went to the Bensen family’s mansion. The butler, upon seeing her, greeted her warmly and addressed her as “Madam“. Evelyn’s face was very cold, and her tone was not polite. “I divorced Mr. 0 00% 06:04 288 (Vouchers Chapter 26 Bensen a long time ago, I can’t bear the title of Mrs.” The butler chuckled twice and then sighed in the end. “Everyone knew about this, but Mrs. have always been his wife.” do in Mr. Bensen’s heart, you “Can’t he be given a chance to make up for the mistakes he made in the past?” Upon hearing this, Evelyn immediately stopped in her tracks and let out a cold laugh….
Chapter 25 Watching Evelyn’s receding figure as she walked away with Marques, Theodore couldn’t bear the blow and his body shook a few times before he collapsed on the ground At that time, pedestrians began to appear sporadically. Everyone looked at Theodore with strange eyes. Despite being the most self–respecting person, he could only hang his head in embarrassment and weakly clench his fists. / Evelyn calculated the time and submitted the evidence. She would be able to solve the case within a week. After it was resolved, she planned to go back. But before that, she had to prepare herself mentally as an individual. That was Tessa. *x Tessa watched as Evelyn hemmed and hawed behind her for an hour. She couldn’t help but laugh, playfully tapping her head with a fork. メ “Why did you act like that with Josie?” “Every time she had something on her mind, she couldn’t help but show it on her face. You two are truly sisters.” Upon hearing that Tessa could now mention Josie calmly, Evelyn’s eyes welled up slightly. She thought for a moment and tentatively asked, “Emma, recently I’ve been dreaming about Josie.” Tessa’s smile faded slightly, but her gaze remained gentle as she nodded 06.040 0.00% 1 288 Vouchers Chapter 25 softly. “What did you dream about?” Evelyn held Tessa dependently and said, “I dreamt that Josie praised me. She said I am taking good care of you now, and we are living happily. She is also at ease.” “She also said not miss her too much, she keeps sneezing down there.” When Evelyn spoke later, her voice couldn’t help but choke up. Even Tessa’s eyes couldn’t help but shimmer with tears. She patted Evelyn’s hand…
Chapter 24 Although Theodore looks much thinner now, the man still couldn’t be his match. Theodore easily kicked the man off of Evelyn. He clenched his bleeding hand into a fist. With a dark expression on his face, he quickly walked over and stepped on the man who was trying to get up. The man let out a painful cry as he was stepped on, looking into Theodore’s eyes with a mixture of wariness and fear. “Do you want money? I can give it to you.” “You spared me.” Upon hearing this, Theodore stomped his foot and looked at the man as if he were looking at a dead person. “Money? Then I’ll give you money too. “Buy you a life, do you agree?” “Dare to touch Evelyn, do you not want to live.“” The man finally realized that Theodore was definitely not an ordinary person. He realized who he had offended. The man quickly began to beg for mercy, crying and pleading with Theodore. But Theodore did not feel satisfied. All the frustration and grievances of this period of time were vented on the man. Evelyn struggled to stand up unsteadily. She looked at the man who had been beaten almost speechless. There was only a sense of satisfaction in 0.00% 06.04 Chapter 24 her heart. But when she thought that she had been saved by Theodore, Evelyn felt a little complicated. To be honest, she did not want to accept Theodore’s affection. Suddenly, a warm body pressed up against her from behind. Marques, with an excited expression, embraced Evelyn, his voice trembling. “Evelyn, are you okay?” 289 Vouchers “It’s all my fault. I didn’t check my phone just now, so I didn’t know you were in danger.” Marques looked up and down at Evelyn nervously several times. After confirming that she had no injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Theodore turned back and looked at the two people holding hands tightly, his eyes darkened instantly. With anger rising, Theodore quickly grabbed Marques by the collar. “Since I couldn’t protect her, why did I still insist on occupying the position beside her.” Marques was in the wrong this time. Long, fluttering eyelashes trembled for a moment, but she still didn’t say anything to refute him….
Chapter 23 Evelyn realized she hadn’t seen Theodore for several days. She thought he might have died outside. She didn’t have time to deal with Theodore, as she was busy with her own business. The girl rescued from the alley that day has become Evelyn’s best friend here. Evelyn helped her move past the psychological shadow. However, the past events still remained a thorn in the girl’s heart.. Her experience was very similar to Josie’s. This made Evelyn determined to help her. If she could help the girl bring the person who hurt her to justice. Facing those things with Josie, Evelyn could also have more confidence. Fortunately, it is not too difficult to collect evidence now. And with Marques‘ help, everything went smoothly. That day, Evelyn walked out of the girl’s house. She ran into a grim–faced man head–on. The man clenched his teeth and blocked Evelyn’s way. Then he took out some money and threw it insultingly at Evelyn’s face, “How much do you want, name your price.” “Miss, I admit that I have no grievances with you. Why do you have to be against me?” “I and that woman knew each other, we were a couple, I was pursuing her before, and everyone in the small town knew about it.” Evelyn expressionlessly tore up the banknotes, watching the man’s panicked look, feeling somewhat amused for no reason. 0.00% 06.04 Chapter 23 “Do you know fear now? What about when you were doing bad things?” “If you are truly guiltless, why worry about me getting involved in this matter?” “I am a lawyer, not a police officer. I cannot directly convict you.” 288 Vouchers The man was provoked by Evelyn, his facial expression became somewhat fierce. He suddenly pulled out a sharp fruit knife and pointed it at Evelyn. “Okay, it’s your turn to drink the toast. If you don’t drink, you’ll have to take a penalty shot.” Y “If you insist on going against me, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Looking into the man’s crimson eyes, Evelyn felt a bit scared. She had just called the emergency contact. But there was still no response. Evelyn had originally intended to delay the time. Unexpectedly, the man rushed over and grabbed her. Evelyn kept resisting….
Chapter 22 Seeing Theodore’s somewhat dejected and defeated expression, the nurse couldn’t help but say. “Don’t think about it, just be grateful that you managed to stay alive.” “You lay in such a heavy rain all night, and no one cared about your life or death.” “No matter who you found, it was obvious that they didn’t care about your well–being.” These advices sounded particularly harsh in Theodore’s ears. He was momentarily overwhelmed by emotions, his eyes turning red as he uncontrollably shouted at the nurse, “Get out!” Then he began to pull out the infusion tube, throwing things around. It seemed like he wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart. The nurse was startled by Theodore’s appearance, and couldn’t help but mutter, “Are you crazy?” After the nurse left, Theodore sat on the cold ground as if he had lost all his strength. He watched his wound continue to bleed. The high fever in his body had not completely subsided, leaving him in a very uncomfortable state. 170 Theodore didn’t have the strength to get up, so he just lay there, dazed, starting to think about Evelyn. The two had not been together for long when he fell seriously ill. Evelyn 0.00% 06:04 was busy taking care of him. The illness was so severe that Theodore even thought he might not make it. At that time, their relationship was at its best, with no third party involved. Evelyn stayed by his side day and night, never leaving. When Theodore woke up every day, he could see Evelyn’s red eyes. Theodore rarely had moments of clarity, so he immediately had a will draw up by a lawyer. Evelyn’s name was written on it. After Evelyn…
Chapter 21 Madam Whitney suppressed a smile, pulled Tessa away, and then glared at Marques. “Hurry up and drive away this beggar.‘ “It looked dirty and still had the nerve to claim to know our Evelyn, without even considering what kind of person they are.” Theodore subconsciously looked down at his somewhat dirty and wrinkled suit. He immediately felt at a loss for words. “No, it wasn’t like that.” “I don’t usually do this, I always take good care of myself, it’s just that recently, I’ve been so desperate to find Evelyn, I haven’t even rested properly.” Evelyn no longer wanted to hear Theodore’s voice. But she was also very clear that, judging by Theodore’s attitude, he probably wouldn’t leave for a while. However, she was not in a hurry. Evelyn looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds. “If this person insists on staying here, then let him stay.” Theodore did stand outside Evelyn’s building all day. It wasn’t until the late night when suddenly a heavy rain started pouring down. The rain was intense, as if it wanted to flood the whole world. There was no shelter around. Except for Evelyn and Tessa’s house in front of him. However, Theodore was very clear. He was not forgiven now, so what 0.00% 06:04 288 Vouchers Chapter 21 qualifications did he have to go in? He shivered in the rain because of the cold. The tall man of 1.9 meters also looked a bit pitiful. Unfortunately, a strong wind suddenly rose. Theodore’s body swayed more and more severely. His vision seemed to blur. But he still stubbornly raised his head and looked at the second floor, where a faint warm light was shining. Evelyn was sitting by the window with Marques. The two of them were chatting happily, although Theodore felt bitter and aggrieved, not knowing what they were talking about. Originally, everything Marques said was actually true. But the position next to Evelyn was clearly his. The two of them used to do this, having a drink while watching the rain on a rainy day. At that time, the love in Evelyn’s eyes when she looked at him was unmistakable. It was such a beautiful relationship. It was abandoned by him personally. In a fit of anger, Theodore couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed in the rain. Upstairs, Evelyn saw everything clearly. The moment she saw Theodore fall down, her eyelashes trembled slightly….
Chapter 20 “Evelyn, Theodore’s lips trembled, his eyes filled with joy as he hurriedly stepped forward. However, he was stopped by the security guard.” “Sir, if you wanted to see a doctor, you had to wait in line.” Theodore was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He struggled and gritted his teeth, growling lowly, “Get out of my way, I’m here to find someone.” The security guard looked at Theodore with a puzzled expression in his eyes. His expression became more serious. “Even if you are looking for someone, you must follow the rules, otherwise we will have to drag you out.” Just then, a handsome man walked out and stood beside Evelyn. The two of them exchanged some words, and the next moment, the man started to scold Evelyn. Evelyn hung her head sullenly in front of him, looking somewhat aggrieved and pitiful. The man, however, frowned more and more fiercely. and. Theodore couldn’t control anything, he punched the security guard hard. Then he rushed up and grabbed the man’s collar, wanting to teach him a lesson. But Marques reacted faster. M Sensing Theodore approaching, Marques prepared himself in advance. He pinned Theodore to the ground and, seeing Evelyn’s not–so–good expression, he probably understood what was happening. Evelyn saw clearly that the person coming was Theodore. Her face turned 06.031 0.00% Chapter 20 pale instantly, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. She never expected to see Theodore again in her life. In that moment, she was filled with all the hatred. Evelyn’s eyes instantly turned cold. Theodore lifted his head and met Evelyn’s emotionless, cold eyes. But he had already anticipated this. Theodore forced a weak, pale smile. “Evelyn, I finally found you.” “Don’t be afraid, I just saw very clearly that this man wanted to make trouble for you. “I helped you get justice.” Theodore tried to struggle to get up. But he didn’t expect Marques to be so strong. He ended up being pinned to the ground in a very embarrassing position. After struggling for a while without success, Theodore’s face turned red with embarrassment. Marques sneered, “Troubling Evelyn?” “She was the most important person to me, I treated her like family, and our argument just now was just a daily squabble.”…
