Chapter 60 Huston Is Under Investigation
Evelyn didn’t know how she got back to the office, and she was a little absent-minded. Secing her like this, Ada hesitated several times, but still pulled her out of the office. “Evelyn, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so listless?”
Evelyn shook her head. “I’m fine.”
“Are you all right?”
“Yes.” Evelyn was obviously absent-minded. “Ada, I still have some documents to go through. I’ll go in first.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that Evelyn was about to leave, Ada gritted her teeth and grabbed Evelyn. She looked around and asked in a low voice, “Evelyn, are you and Lawyer Athena…
“What do you mean?”
“Well, don’t blame me for talking too much. Everyone in the office is saying that you and Lawyer Athena are in the office…” Ada didn’t say more.
Evelyn was slightly stunned, and then she frowned slightly. “Do you believe it?”
Ada hemmed and hawed. “I certainly didn’t believe it at first, but I couldn’t help but think too much when you came back looking abnormal, but I still trust you in my heart. Otherwise, I
wouldn’t have aglad you!”
Evelyn smiled helplessly.
The truth is that Charlie called me in and gave me a good scolding.”
Ada was stunned. “No way. How could you be rumored like that after being scolded? Who’s so bored…”
Evelyn didn’t want to think too much about it. “Let them be.”
Others were deliberately targeting her secretly, and she was in the dark. What could she do?
An explanation?
Compared with fact, they were more willing to believe in gossip and rumors, and she happened to be the gossiped one to help relieve the pressure.
No one would believe her even if she explained it. It would only make her look like she had protested her innocence too much.
On the other side, Jerry had just finished an examination in the hospital when he received a call from the private detective.
“Mr. Graves, I’ve found out that Miss Shelton has been working at HM Law Office recently. As far as I know, she has been close to the boss of HM Law Office, Huston Lloyd, recently. But we haven’t found out about the divorce lawsuit yet. HM Law Office is likely helping her. HM Law Office has always kept a tight lid on secrets, so it’s not easy to investigate.”
Jerry suddenly sat up from the bed and frowned. “Are you
Maura was peeling an apple for him. Seeing him make a big move, she quickly stepped forward to help him up. “Slow down.”
Jerry was so anxious that he pushed her hand away. The back of her hand turned red, but he didn’t seem to notice it at all. He didn’t even take a glance at her.
Maura’s hand froze in midair. She looked at the red mark for a long time before withdrawing her hand.
“How did they get to know each other? Have you found out?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Graves, but that information is out of our reach.”
“Okay, I see. I’ll contact you later.” Jerry hung up the phone and sat on the bed, gasping for breath. His eyes were full of anger.
Even Maura was a little scared when seeing him like this. “Jerry, what’s wrong?”
“F*ck!” Jerry pounded the bed. “Evelyn really cuckolded me!”
Surprise flashed across Maura’s eyes. She turned around, walked up to the man, and stroke his back, pretending to be considerate. “Jerry, I told you that Evelyn is not a dutiful woman. Maybe she didn’t behave herself in the past. Don’t be angry. It’s not worth it. Besides, you’re going to divorce now. Let her be.”
Jerry’s smile was frightening. “She made me suffer. Does she want to leave after taking advantage of me? If she really gets what she wants, my surname will not be Graves!”
Maura frowned. She didn’t understand why he was so angry
was going to divorce. Thinking of the name she had just heard, she asked, “Who is this Huston?”
Jerry glanced at her and said, “The big boss of HM Law Office. He is someone that even my father can’t curry favor with.”
Maura was shocked. Although she had never known much about the legal industry, from what Jerry had said, if he was someone even Eddy couldn’t curry favor with, he must be an influential figure.
However, anyone with a high social status would be over 50 years old, and Huston was probably an old man. Evelyn really had a good appetite.
Thinking of this, Maura pressed her body closer to Jerry. “Jerry, don’t be angry. It’s more important to take care of yourself. Let’s deal with that b*tch couple when you recover.”
