Chapter 525 Do You Like Me?
He paused and said, “Do you remember what you promised me before?”
Of course, Evelyn understood what he meant, but he was faster than she had imagined. Not long after
she left the court, he got the news.
However…
“I just said that I would think about it. I didn’t promise you.”
Bert listened to her calm answer and felt more and more interested. “What do you think?”
Evelyn pursed her lips tightly and only let go after a long while. “Now it seems there’s no need to wait
for the results.”
“So?

but there was a hidden sense of helplessness and confusion behind that calmness.
Locked up in here, she couldn’t do anything and did not know about what was happening outside.
Besides passively waiting, she had no other options, and even thinking was forbidden.
“Evelyn, you’re stronger than all the women I’ve ever seen,” Bert
suddenly said.
Evelyn didn’t understand. “Why did you say that?”
“Because I like your tenacity.” After that, he seemed to think he was amused and sneered at himself.
“Do you want to wait until the end of the trial?”
“I… haven’t decided whether to leave or not.”
“Listen to me.” Bert ignored her hesitation. He lowered his voice and said to her seriously, “On the day
the verdict is announced, you must go to the courthouse. If you go, you will return. There will be a
vehicle to transport you back, driven by my contact. The secret code during the meeting is ‘I need to
use the restroom,’ and he will respond with ‘Wait a moment.’ If everything is confirmed, that person will
help you escape on the way back. If you don’t want to leave, just tell him, and he will safely bring you
back. I will be prepared for both outcomes, giving you space.”
Evelyn’s heart tightened. She didn’t expect him to make such detailed arrangements. Suddenly, she
thought of something and cried out, “This phone can be recorded!”
“It’s okay. I’ve already dealt with it. You don’t have to worry.”
“But…”
“Think about it carefully. Although I have threatened you many times, this is your last chance to leave.”
Bert was more serious than ever. “Don’t worry. If you are willing to leave with me, I

You saved my life, so I should repay you, and…”
Evelyn pricked up her ears and asked, “What?”
Bert stopped talking and said, “Forget it. I’ll tell you in person in the future.”
After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone when Evelyn hurriedly called out to him, “Bert!”
Every time she was in a hurry, she would call out his name instead of the polite and annoying Mr.
Harper.
Bert paused and put the microphone back to his ear. “Is there anything else?”
Evelyn hesitated for a moment. Her other hand resting at the back also reached for the phone, as if
only in this way would she have more confidence. Her expression was complicated, and she didn’t
have time to think about it. She blurted out, “Do you like
me?”
