Chapter 196 Garland's Change of Attitude
"I promise you."
When Garland finished speaking, Evelin's heartbeat suddenly stopped for a moment.
There was no other emotion in her pupils except disbelief.
She really couldn't believe that these words came out of Garland's mouth.
What exactly did Huo Wanqing and Garland talk about, and what kind of evidence did they produce?
Garland, who wanted to protect her from the beginning to the end, completely changed his attitude in just a moment.
“Evelyn, you should be thankful that the Huo family didn’t force you to pay with your life.”
Garland didn't look at Evelin, and Huo Wanqing and the others just thought that Garland didn't want to see her again.
In fact, only Garland himself knew the answer.
He was avoiding Evelin’s disappointed gaze, and he didn’t dare to look at her at all.
According to the laws of the Northern Continent, Evelyn would probably spend the rest of her life in prison for a deliberate murder like this.
But he had already decided that this sentence would give a perfect explanation to the aggressive Huo family.
Then he would immediately use some means to get Evelyn out of prison, change her name, and replace her with a scapegoat.
At that time, she will still not lose her freedom, but will just live under a different identity.
Although he knew that Evelyn had intended to murder him, she was still safely protected, which was extremely unfair to Huo Youshan.
But he couldn't bear to watch her life being ruined like this. After all, Huo Youshan was always an insignificant life to him.
Just because she is Huo Wanqing's biological sister and Huo Wanqing is that person, he must give a result and put an end to this matter.
"So, I have to thank you too?"
"This is how you investigate cases. You convicted me with just one sentence."
Evelin raised the corners of her lips expressionlessly and sneered.
What kind of state is it to be so disappointed and desperate that there is no ups and downs? That's how she is now.
Exhausted, no emotions whatsoever.
Perhaps she should have known from the beginning that in Garland's heart, he did not trust her at all.
Or maybe Garland knew the truth of the matter, but he still chose to give up on her in order to avoid the Lan family being involved in a scandal.
She should have seen her place earlier. To Garland, everything was bigger than her.
She was never Garland’s first choice.
She was like a pet that came at will and left at will, and Garland spoiled her to the skies when he was pleased with her.
And when he needs to make a decision, he will definitely not consider her first.
But at this moment, she no longer had the energy to figure out the reason.
She is really tired.
I feel physically and mentally exhausted by Garland's ambivalent attitude.
Tired of the hopelessness of this relationship.
"I said, I only believe in facts."
Garland's tone was cold, and he could only utter these few pale words in response to Evelyn's questioning, which was no longer full of emotion due to disappointment.
“Evelyn, go back to your room first and wait until I’m done…”
"No need."
"Just like six years ago, I think I'm completely sure of your answer."
Garland finally didn't make up his mind and wanted to tell her to go back to the room and wait for him to tell Evelyn his true thoughts.
However, Evelin didn't want to hear a word more, and even felt it was unnecessary to look at him, so she interrupted Garland directly.
"Let's go, I want some quiet time."
Seeing that Garland seemed to want to speak, Evelyn raised her cold face and stared at him intently.
Garland stared at her for a long time and finally compromised.
But when everyone left the room, Huo Wanqing turned around, closed the door and locked it.
Evelin quickly pulled herself out of her lost mood and watched her movements warily.
Huo Wanqing seemed not to sense Evelin's hostility, and walked to the table and turned off the camera.
"How does it feel to be wronged?"
The next second, Huo Wanqing’s gentle voice sounded, and she bent down like a warm and intimate big sister, smiling lightly and stroking Evelin’s shoulder.
Evelin didn’t say anything, but instead folded her arms and crossed her legs while sitting on the backrest, watching what tricks Huo Wanqing was trying to play.
"I was going to comfort you, but."
"You really don't know what's good for you."
"You're already in a difficult situation, who are you pretending to be so arrogant for?"
Seeing Evelin’s unmoved attitude, Huo Wanqing simply stopped pretending and put away the hypocrisy on her face.
She imitated the way Evelyn had looked down at her, crossing her arms and staring into her eyes.
She just wanted to see Evelin’s face filled with despair, her lofty self-esteem being crushed.
"Are you not going to pretend anymore?"
Evelin didn't get angry but smiled instead, her beautiful face was filled with contempt and the arrogance of a superior.
"What on earth are you pretending to be?! Who are you pretending to be for, you act so high and mighty every day?"
"How is my position as the Patriarch of the Huo family lower than yours? You always look down on me."
Huo Wanqing couldn’t stand Evelin’s expression the most, and her eyes suddenly changed, revealing endless hatred.
"I just look down on you, but you can't do anything to me."
"I like to see you nodding and bowing to me with gritted teeth after being humiliated by me."
Evelin followed the trend, and every word she said stepped on Huo Wanqing’s thunder points and self-esteem.
"But no matter how much you provoke me, Garland still chooses to believe me and stand up for me, doesn't he?"
Huo Wanqing was not provoked to the point of losing her mind this time, but instead smiled and provoked Evelin.
"Did you kill Huo Youshan?"
Evelin frowned, and couldn’t help but think of Huo Wanqing’s various strange behaviors since she bit herself to death after she found out that Huo Youshan had been murdered.
The heart suddenly became like a mirror.
"So what? You've become my scapegoat."
"I also want to thank you for showing up just in time."
"But you will soon become a prisoner and are totally unworthy of Garland."
"Not even one of my toes can reach it."
"No matter what you say, no one will believe it."
"After all, the evidence is in front of everyone, and Garland only believes in facts."
Huo Wanqing's expression suddenly changed, and her slender hands attached to Evelin's shoulders and gently stroked them.
Her tone was gentle and her brown eyes were filled with gratitude.
However, the moment Huo Wanqing's hand touched Evelin, Evelin's eyes suddenly changed.
Her gaze was sharper than ever. She seemed not to want to listen to Huo Wanqing chattering on and on. She stood up and scared Huo Wanqing.
Who would have thought that before she could react, Evelin raised her leg and kicked Huo Wanqing in the stomach.
