Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Forced to A Deal 

Evelyn’s ears turned red, and her voice was barely audible. Yes.” 

Your husband cheated on you, and you want revenge on him, right?” 

She hesitated, unsure, before answering, Yes.” 

And he never slept with you?” 

Yes.” 

The man abruptly rose to his feet, catching her off guard

In a few steps he stood before her, gently lifting her chin with his finger

You must know that HM Law Office rarely takes on marriage lawsuitsHis voice was steady and imposing

Evelyn looked at him curiously, unsure of what he meant

Such cases are beneath the attention of renowned lawyers, yet other lawyers lack the capability to handle them. And cases like yours hold little profit and value, making them costly endeavors. Do you even have enough money to afford it?He delivered his words with precision and authority

She frowned slightly. Of course she didn’t have that much money

She also couldn’t bring herself to borrow money from Grace

She was aware that a prolonged lawsuit would mean even more expenses

Her mind was in chaos. She felt trapped, with no choice but to accept her fate helplessly

The more she dwelled on it, the more her anxiety grew, and despair overwhelmed her. Her eyes started welling up with tears

Huston, noticing the tears, loosened his grip slightly and frowned. He had anticipated seeing her cry, but he hadn’t expected her to look so pitiful andbeautiful

Now it made sense why she was acting so recklessly the other night. Because her husband had cheated on her

Huston caressed her soft lips with his thumb. He recalled that he didn’t kiss her the other night, and his eyes darkened. “I can help you win this case. Is that what you want?” 

Evelyn tilted her head, but she couldn’t evade his gaze. Their eyes met. And what do you want?she inquired

The corners of Huston’s lips curled up. Moving closer, he caught a whiff of her scent, and his voice dropped to a whisper in her 

ear, I want you.” 

-He said it calmly, but Evelyn couldn’t help but flush

WWhat do you mean?” 

Well. What do you think you can give me?” 

He was rich and powerful. He had everything

The only thing she could give himwas herself

 

Her eyes turned cold. I can’t give you what you want, Mr. Lloyd.” 

That other night was a mistake. She would not let it happen again

 

But Huston would not let her go so easily. Even if you had the money, Steve wouldn’t handle your case. I told you, a lawyer can’t get much from your lawsuit. Our lawyers are the best in the industry, and they always have more profitable cases on the market waiting for them.” 

Are you threatening me?” 

Just stating the facts.” 

She smiled bitterly. Mr. LloydWith your status, you can sleep with any woman. Why do you have to waste time with a married 

woman like me?” 

That might be true. But my body says it wants you.” 

ButI’m not even good at…at sex.” 

Doesn’t matter. I’ll teach you.” 

Evelyn blushed, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. Just let me go.” 

But he leaned closer. His faint fragrance of pine surrounded her, and he breathed softly in her ear. 

Evelyn’s face turned even hotter as she raised her hand, ready to slap him

You perv!” 

Huston was one step faster, grabbing both of her hands and putting them behind her back

He turned to open a door beside them, pushing her in. It was a big lounge

Huston, let me go!” 

The man casually took off his tie and threw it aside. Then he unbuttoned the crystal cufflinks of his shirt. His slow movements 

made Evelyn’s heart beat faster

Youyou’re a lawyer, and we’re still in your office! I’ll scream!” 

He scoffed. You can try. We can see if your voice is louder, or if the walls are thicker.” 

He walked up to her and raised her face toward himself. Today she put on light makeup, which made her look more delicate and 

beautiful

But he didn’t like her lip gloss. He did not kiss her. Instead, he reached out and tore off her shirt 

The buttons flew off, and Evelyn let out a scream, trying to cover her body
