Chapter 258 Let Me Show You Something
It was already 6:30 p.m. when Huston returned to the Royal Villa from the company. As soon as he
entered the door, he
smelled a delicious aroma of food.
He took off his shoes and walked into the dining room to look toward the light. Evelyn was standing in
front of the kitchen counter with an apron on. When she saw him return, she smiled sweetly at him and
said, “You’re back just in time.
Dinner will be ready soon!”
The warm light fell on her, dispelling the chills from Huston’s body. He walked over and hugged her
slender waist from behind. His chin rested on her shoulder, and he tilted his face
slightly to kiss her on the cheek.
Huston’s breath fell on her neck, and she tilted her head to
avoid it. “Don’t make trouble…”
“Did you miss me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvelyn was still holding a shovel in her hand. She blushed and replied shyly in a low voice, “Yes.”
After getting the answer he wanted, Huston’s lips curved up.
He tightened his grip, held her tightly in his arms, and tilted his
head to kiss her.
Despite his distractions, Evelyn couldn’t concentrate. Fortunately, the soup was already cooked. She
turned off the stove and glared at him, saying, “It’s time to eat!”
Huston lowered her gaze to look at Evelyn’s slightly flushed face, and his heart softened as he raised
his hand to brush aside the stray hair at her temple. “It feels really good to come
home and see you,” he said.
When Evelyn heard this, she felt a little sad. Thinking of how he had gone home alone to face the
empty room these days, she suddenly felt guilty. “I’m sorry. I won’t let you be alone in
the future.”
Huston caressed her cheek, cherishing the smoothness beneath his fingertips. His eyes held a tender
and affectionate expression that was almost indescribable. “Okay.”
Evelyn prepared three dishes and a soup, all on the lighter side, considering his ongoing recovery from
pneumonia. She avoided making greasy or spicy foods. These small details did not go unnoticed by
Huston.
After dinner, Huston answered a phone call. After hanging up, he took Evelyn to the study on the third
floor.
Evelyn didn’t understand. “What’s wrong?”
“Let me show you something.” His tone was mysterious. After closing the door and sitting on the desk,
he pulled over a small swivel chair beside him and let her sit down. The computer screen was turned
on. There was a call request, which he usually used in meetings.
Evelyn watched as he picked up the phone as usual, but the moment her eyes swept over the screen,
she froze.
In the video, four burly men surrounded a slender woman. The woman’s long hair was scattered behind
her. Because her back was facing the camera, her face could not be seen. clearly. Even so, Evelyn
recognized the person inside through her figure and voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe could recognize this person even if she turned to ashes-
Maura Stella.
Why was she here?
Evelyn stared at the person on the screen. After a while, a man in the room questioned her fiercely,
“Tell me. What happened that night? Explain it word for word!”
In the video, Maura was pushed by the man and almost fell to the ground. She was so scared that she
trembled. Then she
cried and said, “That night, I met Mr. Lloyd at the banquet, so I kept an eye on him. I wanted to take
advantage of this meeting to make some trouble. Mr. Lloyd went out to smoke during the meal, so I put
the hallucinogen in my bag into his. cup… But I swear! I didn’t do anything else. I just took two photos
and sent them to Evelyn. I deliberately gave her a hint on the phone and did nothing else!”
Maura was in a state of panic, and her tone was fluctuating. Even through the screen, they could feel
she was about to be
scared out of her wits.
These men all looked extremely fierce. They surrounded her in the room. The space was not big, and
the light was very dim. Just by standing there, they could emit a kind of horrible aura.
