NovelUpdateChapter 97 My face flushed. Sherry's teasing, the ambiguous things he said last night, echoed in my mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvan waited. "Still thinking?" "Thank you for the offer, but I'll handle this myself! Thank you! Goodbye!" I quickly hung up.
Evan:... He put down his phone, thoughtful. He seemed to understand something; a shadow fell over his usually bright eyes.
I held my phone for five minutes, my heart gradually calming. Thinking back, he'd been kind....but did he really show any romantic interest? I'd over-analyzed. Impossible! He didn't even like women! "Bang!" The door slammed. Sherry was home. She'd had a court hearing that morning. The case hadn't gone well; the other side presented new evidence, forcing a recess. She'd had lunch with her client and met at a nearby cafe. By the tshe saw Jiang Wenhui's statement, it was nearly one o'clock. She'd planned to go back to the office but went straight home.
"Did Jiang Wenhui get hit by a car?" she asked, throwing her briefcase down.

But if we do that, you and Julian won't even have the decency left." My eyes turned icy."The Shaw family hasn't givenany decency." Sherry sat down."I mean, Julian might not know about today's events. And you guys had eight good years..." Me:"Even if he didn't plan this, isn't he still responsible? I wouldn't have tried to maintain any decency. If he'd just divorcedproperly, there wouldn't be so much . What I did, what Rita did, what Jiang Wenhui did...it was all forced by him. Shouldn't he bear the consequences?"
Sherry was silent. Then she nodded. "Okay, let's fight back. Let's tear them aparte'm your divorce lawyer and your best friend. I'll speak for you."
We sprang into action, outlining our counterarguments, our attacks, and our evidence. As we prepared to record' a video on my phone, the doorbell rang.
Sherry:"I'll get it." She looked through the peephole. It was Julian. He had WUp! the nerve to show up! Just as she was about to Vash out, she calmed herself, activated her phone's recording feature, and hid it behind a cushion, givinga signal before opening the door. < Chapter 98
