Chapter 135 She Already Left Him
At 2:30 a.m., Jerry drove to an industrial park in the suburbs. The whole industrial park was in darkness, with only a few street lights on. There was an unusual chill in the deserted place.
Not far away, a black Santana was covered with a layer of dust. After confirming that the license plate number was the same as the text message, Jerry got out of the car and opened the door. It didn’t lock.
In the driver’s seat, there was a stack of photos sealed with transparent tape. It was none other than Evelyn and Huston in the photo.
Jerry looked at them one by one, then returned to his car with the photos and dialed the other party’s number.
“I’ve found it. It’s too little!” While speaking, Jerry was still panting, looking guilty, anxious, and nervous.
“You’re in a hurry, Mr. Graves. The other party is not an ordinary person. It’s very risky for us to tail after them. It took us a lot of effort to get these photos.” The other party’s voice was very old, and it was obvious that he had used a voice-changing device.
Jerry gritted his teeth and casually took out a photo. In the photo, Huston supported Evelyn out of the restaurant, but he could only tell that except for this, there was nothing more
had an unusual relationship, it was really unconvincing.
Jerry said, “How about this? I’ll give you another month. We can talk about the money. You must take photos that can directly prove the unusual relationship between Evelyn and Huston, understand?”
The other party replied, “Okay, I’ll try my best.”
After hanging up the phone, before Jerry could catch his breath, he immediately received a call from Maura.
When he saw the caller ID, he was annoyed and picked it up in an unfriendly tone. “What are you doing so late at night?”
The woman on the other end of the phone paused and seemed to be a little aggrieved. “It’s so late, but you’re not back. Mom asked me to ask you where you are…”
Ever since Evelyn had completely fallen out with the Graves family, Nora had asked Maura to call her “Mom”.
Nora treated Maura much better than Evelyn, even though Maura hadn’t married her son yet.
“Did you tell Mom?” Jerry’s face was instantly filled with hostility. “Didn’t I tell you not to tell Mom that I’m out? What’s wrong with you? Don’t you understand human language?”
Maura always told Nora about him without permission, which made Jerry feel restrained for the first time, and he felt that he
was forced. This feeling was not good, and it even made him a little resistant to seeing Maura.
When he was with Evelyn, she would never do this. She would only help him hide it. Even if she was scolded badly by Nora, she would never say anything bad about him.
Maura’s voice softened. “Jerry, what have you been busy with recently? I know the news has a great impact on you. Evelyn, that b*tch…”
“Enough!” Jerry didn’t want to listen to her anymore, so he interrupted her in an unfriendly tone. “Go to sleep first. I’ll drive back now.”
Maura said cautiously, “Then be careful on the way.”
Jerry didn’t even respond and immediately hung up.
He threw the phone against the dashboard in front of the steering wheel with a “bang” and leaned his body against the seat wearily. After closing his eyes shortly, he picked up the phone and opened the contact list. He accidentally glanced at Evelyn’s phone number. After a slight pause, he suddenly remembered the scene when they had just fallen in love and confirmed their relationship.
Evelyn asked him timidly if he could put her phone number at the top.
At that time, he agreed to do it without hesitation. She was so happy that she snickered. But he felt that such a request was too
stupid. It was just that today, he still remembered it.
He still remembered those funny, boring, and even stupid things. He couldn’t help but doubt how he had felt at that time. Perhaps it was just his illusion. He had always been deceiving himself.
