Chapter 6 Caught in Action Evelyn had reached her breaking point , but the man didn't even care . " You won't let me go , will you ? " she asked in a trembling voice . He was silent for a moment . You came to me first . " She was the one who approached him in that club and spent the night with him . Unpleasant memories from the past had caused him to lose interest in a sexual partner . But at only 32 years old , Huston realized that he still desired someone who could fulfill his needs . 1 Evelyn , meanwhile , was filled with regret . If she had known Huston's true identity , she would've never approached him! But there was no changing the past . Huston's gaze shifted to the woman crouching on the ground . He finally slid his arms under hers , lifted her up , and gently placed her on the bed , covering her with a blanket . " Rest . Then clean yourself up . I'll be back soon . " Anger / surged within Evelyn as she watched him walk away . She seized his sleeve and spoke with audacity , " If I pay you with my body … will you help me seek revenge against the Graves ? " Huston's eyebrows rose in surprise . He hadn't anticipated her change of heart . " Yes . " " Then … I have another request ," Evelyn said , summoning her courage . " I'm only 24 years old , and I graduated from the University of Toronto Law School . I have all the knowledge and qualifications . Can you help me become a real lawyer ? " He was taken aback . He had expected her to ask for anything else , but not this . He had no idea she was so well - educated . " You went to school to be a lawyer? " " Yes . " " Then why did you give it up ? " Evelyn's eyes darkened . " Because … I got married . " Back then , Nora insisted that Evelyn get married right after graduation because she wanted Evelyn to be a housewife . Evelyn , deeply in love with Jerry , agreed to everything . But her passion for the law remained . If she had to sleep with the jerk before her , she was getting as much benefit as possible . After all , she needed to secure her livelihood after the divorce , and her parents depended on her as well . He remained silent . He lit a cigarette and looked at Evelyn through the smoke , making her anxious . When the cigarette was half - burnt , Huston finally came closer to the bed , peering down at her . He exhaled a smoke ring . Evelyn squinted and coughed . " Pack a bag and come to Royal Villa at eight o'clock tonight . " Evelyn waved away the smoke , while Huston had already turned and left . Leaving HM Law Office , she received a call from Grace . Evelyn mentioned that Huston had taken the case , but she didn't provide the details . " Huston ?! " Grace's voice rose in disbelief . " Are you serious ?! " " Yeah . Why ? " A " He's the most powerful lawyer in the world , that's why ! So many big shots try to seek his help , but it's all about luck when it comes to him . Are you sure he's gonna take your case ? " " Well … He said he'd handle it , " Evelyn avoided talking about her complicated relationship with Huston . " Alright … Then you have nothing to worry about . You can't lose a lawsuit with Huston Lloyd on your side ! " Evelyn frowned . " Really ? " " Of course ! You graduated from law school , so you should know that the most formidable people are not those with money or power , but those who wield the law as their weapon . And to Huston , Lloyd , the law is like his sword ! He can easily use it to his advantage . " Evelyn was stunned . After ending the call , she Googled Huston's info while waiting at the bus station . Apparently , Huston attended the best schools growing up . At 22 , he finished his studies at the University of Cambridge Law School . Returning to the States , he won numerous significant cases and earned a prominent reputation . He was also a guest professor at a prestigious local university while serving as the lawyer of a Fortune 500 company . Later , Huston co - founded HM Law Office with Matt Harrison , establishing it as one of the most renowned law firms in the country , She was impressed , but she couldn't find much info regarding Huston's family background and personal life . Still , she now had a whole new awareness of what an elite she messed with , and prayed that the days ahead would not be too difficult . *** Though reluctant to go back to Hill Villa , Evelyn had to retrieve some important documents . Walking toward the gate , a black Mercedes - Benz caught her attention . One of Jerry's cars . She wanted to walk past it as quickly as she could , but the car suddenly started to move back and forth … like someone was busy inside . In broad daylight ! And right next to the villa ! ' Couldn't they just have a little bit more patience to bring the sex into the house ?! ' she thought Disgusted , Evelyn was about to pick up her pace , when she remembered the ' evidence ' Mr. Warren had mentioned . Hiding behind a tree , Evelyn took out her phone and started to take a video of the car . Then she crouched down and approached carefully . She could even hear their voices . Maura's moans mixed with Jerry's panting growls . When Evelyn heard the words ' I love you ' , her hands started trembling. In over a year of marriage , she had never heard Jerry utter those words to her . Maura and Jerry continued their wild lovemaking , disgusting Evelyn to no end . It felt like her heart was bleeding . She had loved Jerry for so many years , but she had never truly known this side of him . She was jolted back to reality as they both finished . She heard Maura asking , " Why did you marry Evelyn if you never loved her ? " " My company needed her father's support . Evelyn has feelings for me , and she's at least not hideous . Not to mention , she does whatever I say . " Jerry answered so casually like it was nothing . " Too bad her father got himself into legal trouble so soon after we got married . " Evelyn had cried for days following her father's ordeal . She never knew Jerry didn't even truly care about her family or her pain ! " What do you think she'll do now ? " Maura asked , somewhat worried ! " She wants a divorce , but Mom won't allow it . She won't let Evelyn get any of our money , " Jerry smirked . " I bet she'll come crawling and begging to get back soon enough . " Her body shaking with heartbreak , Evelyn accidentally knocked her head against the car , alerting the two inside. She quickly tried to flee , but Jerry exited the car and caught her red - handed .
