Chapter 501 Plead Guilty
However, Huston’s voice was cold, devoid of emotion, as he replied, “Think about it carefully..
:
“No. I don’t need to think about it anymore. I’ve already thought it through. Evelyn killed my
grandmother, and I will never let it go. It’s a matter of life, especially the life of my family. She can’t
escape punishment, so give up your hopes.”
Her refusal was beyond Huston’s expectations. He had thought Mia would agree in the end, but he
didn’t expect that she had such a trick up her sleeve.
If Mia refused to testify, then the outcome of this lawsuit would already be determined. The possibility of
him being able to help Evelyn turn the tables was almost zero. This was the final chance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking of this, Huston put down all the emotions in his heart and said almost pleadingly, ” Mia, I hope
you can think about it carefully. I can give you whatever you want.”
“I have considered it very carefully. I’m sorry, Huston. I can’t do it.” After that, Mia hung up the phone
without waiting for his response. She had a guilty conscience and didn’t dare to talk to him for too long.
She had even given up what she wanted the most to get rid of Evelyn. But it didn’t matter. She was
most afraid that Evelyn
would come back and cause endless trouble in the future.
This decision was undoubtedly the final blow to Huston. He had already staked everything on this, and
now, with such a response, he truly had only one way left.
Making her confess, then requesting a lenient sentence from the court, and making efforts through
connections to secure her release on bail.
The cost that could be paid was also significant. First, it was necessary to persuade Evelyn, and
second, she might no longer be able to work in the legal field or even have any association with this
industry. She could be granted bail, but this stain would follow her forever.
Not to mention her, even Huston found this result hard to accept.
Matt was led in by the secretary after the meeting. As soon as he approached, he saw Huston frowning
and looking worried. These days, everyone had been concerned about Evelyn’s matter, especially
Huston.
“Huston, have you decided what to do? We can’t delay it any longer. It won’t do us any good if it
continues like this.”
Huston’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “There’s still no news about Maura for now.”
Matt nodded and asked, “What do you want to do?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat is meant to come will come eventually, and what needs to be faced will always be faced.
Despite the decision cutting through his heart like a knife, Huston had to confront this cruel reality. His
eyes turned red, and it felt like a sour lemon was lodged in his throat, making every word he spoke
exceedingly difficult. “Where is the information on the plea of guilt?” he asked.
Hearing this, Matt understood and handed him the things he had prepared. “These contain all the
contents.”
Huston looked at the stack of documents. His hand on the table seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
He tried to lift it, but it was as if someone was pressing down on it, and he could not move.
He was well aware that it was not just a pile of cold documents but rather Evelyn’s future and destiny at
stake.
