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.
