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!”

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 and quickened her pace. She immediately told Marques about the situation.
Marques looked at Evelyn with a mixture of fear and resignation when he heard her words.
“You were too impulsive.”
Evelyn was in the wrong this time, blinking nervously.
“I couldn’t resist at that time.”
“But now, I really don’t know what to do next.”
“The fate of Samantha and that Dennis was very tragic. If Josie saw it in heaven, she would definitely be very happy.”

“But I feel like Theodore should pay the price.”
Marques tightened his grip on Evelyn’s slightly trembling hand because she was feeling uneasy.
“Go do what you want to do.”
“Don’t be afraid, Theodore, I will handle it.”
Encouraged by Marques, Evelyn nodded firmly. She presented all the evidence she had collected over the past few days to the court, as well as the fact that Theodore had secretly imprisoned and abused those two individuals.
This incident caused a great sensation. Under the pressure of public opinion on the Internet, Josie’s case was reiterated. This time, she finally got her own innocence.
When Evelyn heard the news, she was standing at Josie’s grave.
When Dennis was rescued, he was barely alive, and there was no time to take him to the hospital. Samantha was in slightly better condition, but not by much. She had completely lost her mind.
Marques stood beside Evelyn, mourning with her. He spoke softly.
“The police just told me that when they found Theodore, he was lying on a small boat on the surface of the lake, having taken pills to commit suicide.”
Evelyn’s hand hesitated for a moment. She slowly stood up, saying nothing.
At that moment, a gust of wind brushed past, as if caressing Evelyn’s face.
Evelyn couldn’t help but laugh.
