Chapter 101 Almost There!
Charlie suddenly had an idea and said, “Did you also come because of the lawsuit?”
The man’s attitude was very resistant, and his words were full of resentment and anger. “So what if I am?”
“Buddy, what a coincidence. I’m also here because of this. Which law firm did you find?” Charlie paused for a moment and then said, “I just came out of HM Law Office. I was annoyed by the failure of the lawsuit, so I wanted to come up and get some fresh air. I didn’t expect to meet you.”
Charlie’s tone was very calm as if he was just stating a fact, and as if he really didn’t know her and just happened to pass by. His words almost made Evelyn believe him.
When the man learned that Charlie had lost the lawsuit too, he was clearly taken aback. “Who was your lawyer?” he asked.
It only took Charlie a second to blurt out, “Lawyer Warren from HM Law Office, Steve Warren. Do you know him?”
“Steve Warren?” The man’s attention was diverted.
Evelyn glanced at the man’s hand, which was holding her
hand tightly. If she struggled desperately now, she might have
a chance to escape, but… maybe she couldn’t.
As if he could read her mind, Charlie shook his head slightly, signaling her not to act rashly.
“I seem to remember… Eva Pierce managed my lawsuit. Have you heard of her?” Perhaps the same incident had made the man let down his guard, so he couldn’t help asking a few more
questions.
Eva Pierce?
As soon as the name was mentioned, Evelyn and Charlie
looked at each other at the same time. Both of them were very
surprised.
They didn’t expect it to be her.
Charlie looked away calmly and continued to make up stories. “I know her. She helped me with the lawsuit before, but I was not satisfied with her. So, I changed to a new lawyer called
Steve Warren.”
The man’s tone became more serious. “Have you changed a lawyer? Is it due to Eva…”
“She cannot handle the lawsuit well,” said Charlie. He
observed the man’s expression carefully. He determined not to
miss any subtle change as if he wanted to see through all the man’s emotions. “When she handled the lawsuit, it seemed that something went wrong. Honestly, I’m considering pursuing legal action against her now.”
The man was shocked, asking, “Are you going to sue her? Are you crazy? She’s a lawyer from HM Law Office. How can you
defeat her?”
“Anyway, I’ve lost the lawsuit, so there’s nothing to worry about. Since I’m not having a good time, I don’t want her to have one either.” Charlie slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket. “Hey buddy, if you have any information about Eva, feel free to share it with me.”
Speaking of this, the man had been completely trapped in the lie that Charlie had told him, and his mind had obviously been
guided.
At this time, Charlie took out two cigarettes. He held one
between his lips and handed another one forward. “Have a
smoke?”
No man didn’t love cigarettes, especially when feeling extremely upset. Only a cigarette could ease his mood.
Looking at Charlie’s outstretched hand, the man did not
refuse, nor did he take it.
approached, the sharpness in his eyes gradually showed up…
Almost there.
Just as the cigarette was nearly in contact with the man’s fingertips, Evelyn decisively twisted the man’s hand, which was grasping her arm tightly, backward.
The man didn’t react at all to the sudden attack. He only felt a sharp pain in his wrist.
He loosened his grip. Evelyn was delighted, and she ran forward happily. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Unfortunately, she had only taken two steps when her hair was caught by something. Her body swayed and she cursed her bad luck in her heart. Just as she was about to rip her hair
free, the man behind her swiftly grasped her long hair, which
had been blown up by the wind.
She took two steps back and almost fell off the building.
