Chapter 509 I’ll Wait for You to Give Up!
She looked at the two pieces of paper indifferently and suddenly thought of a man who had left a deep
impression on her.
Without saying a word, she called the police officer to bring the phone to her.
After dialing, the phone rang for a long time. It was so long that Evelyn thought no one would pick it up.
“Hello?”
The man’s voice came through the microphone, full of magnetism, like the pleasant sound produced by
the collision of two exquisite jade stones.
“Hello, Mr. Harper. It’s me, Evelyn.” Evelyn held the
walkie-talkie with both hands, and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her
throat.
“Ms. Shelton?” It seemed that Bert didn’t expect it to be her. It was rare for him to be stunned. “It’s rare
for you to call me. What can I do for you?”

went straight to the point and said, “You know my case, and as the trial is approaching, I would like to
ask you to help me change a lawyer.”
“Change a lawyer?” Bert sat on the swivel chair and moved slightly. He was a little surprised. “You want
to change Huston?”
“Yes, I’ve met him,” Evelyn replied, a hint of bitterness creeping into her throat as she spoke. She
continued with difficulty, “What you told me is true.”

As she recalled her previous firm conviction that Huston wouldn’t do such a thing, and now reality had
slapped her in the face, Evelyn felt a mix of emotions overwhelming her, but the predominant feeling
was disappointment in Huston.
He betrayed her trust and love.
Thinking of this, a strong hatred rose from her heart. Evelyn raised her voice and said again, “I want to
change my lawyer.”
Bert did not have much of a reaction. He wasn’t particularly happy or unhappy. Just as he had said, he
simply wanted to help her. “The trial is coming up soon, and it’s not easy to change the lawyer at this
stage. Moreover, in this matter, Huston is unlikely to let go easily.”
“Then…”
“How about this? Let’s make a bet.” Bert did not give her any time to speak, his tone seemingly casual
but actually firm. “Let’s bet that if Huston really pleads guilty in this lawsuit, I will take you away with
me.”
This sentence was not strange to her. Bert had told her this countless times before, but because she
was firm enough at that
time, she had never listened to it. At this time, she had other thoughts, so she naturally felt more
touched.
She had never tried to escape, never once.
“I can’t just leave now. I…”

Bert interrupted her. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll give you time to
think about it. You can make a decision when the lawsuit results
come out.”
Evelyn bit her lip. “My lawyer… really can’t be changed?”
“Yes, it’s too late now.”
It was too late.
These few words pushed Evelyn into a desperate situation with
no way out.
Yes, after all this time, she finally realized something was wrong, but it was too late for her to do
anything. Huston was just waiting for her to walk into the trap willingly.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared now?” Bert deliberately provoked her.
Evelyn lowered her gaze and unconsciously tightened her grip on the phone with both hands. “I’m not
scared. I just haven’t given up yet.”
Bert didn’t mind. “It’s okay. I’ll wait for you to give up.”
