Chapter 610 Is He Going to Carry out Another Round of Torture?
In the afternoon, Evelyn received a phone call from the person in charge of the BIT Company. When she began to work in the office, she was still happy. She thought that it was because she saw Aiden and Wyatt James last night. After all, the person in charge had been avoiding them before.
However, this joy did not last long. The other party’s tone was very formal. Instead of communicating with her, it was more like a one-sided notice of what she should do. “The company has also considered the progress of the case, but after all, it’s not a small matter. It’s not up to one person to decide it. Mr. Bill has also instructed that you will directly contact our board of director, President Lloyd, about the progress in the future.”
The relaxed look on Evelyn’s face froze in an instant. She even thought that she had misheard. “What?”
The other party’s voice did not change. He even repeated it to her more clearly. He even asked her patiently, “Miss Shelton, did you hear that?”
When she heard this, she was completely desperate.
She hoped that she couldn’t hear it, or that it wasn’t the case.
But the fact was in front of her. She could only accept it. There
was no room for negotiation. She held her breath and tried to discuss it with the other party as professionally as possible. “Since the BIT will hand over the right to others, as the lawyer in charge of the case, I also want to make corresponding adjustments. Please negotiate with the company.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Shelton, I’m afraid we can’t agree to this request.” The other party’s refusal was very straightforward, and his cold voice came from the phone.
Evelyn was slightly annoyed. “Why?”
“Because President Lloyd told me that if the person in charge of the case was changed, he wouldn’t accept it.” The person on the other end of the line seemed to hear that she was already emotional and directly suggested, “Maybe you can talk to President Lloyd face to face.”
The last hope in her heart was also shattered. After hanging up the phone, Evelyn was a little confused. She forgot to hang up the phone and was lost in thought.
What did Huston mean by that?
Wasn’t it enough to make things difficult for her last night? Was he going to carry out another round of torture?
She sneered and moved her shoulders slightly. As a major shareholder of BIT Company, he played a decisive role. He was telling her that if she wanted to solve the problem, she had to ask for Huston’s permission.
He was like a mountain that suddenly appeared in front of her, pressing down on her so hard that she couldn’t breathe or move. She could only wait in a small space, either to die or to face him.
She naturally thought of last night, and her heart beat faster again. In addition to nervousness, there was also grievance and
anger.
She felt wrong because he had bullied her and was angry because he had forced her to do whatever he wanted, just like five years ago.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
Evelyn didn’t hang up the phone for a long time. When she heard the notification coming from the receiver, she came to her senses, took a deep breath, and put the phone back. She raised her hand to press the rim of her eyes to suppress the rising heat.
This was the scene that her assistant, Lily, saw when she came in, even though Evelyn had always said that it did not matter what happened last night. But as a woman, Lily knew very well that something embarrassing must have happened.
Her heart ached when she saw this. “If it doesn’t work, Suran, let’s hand this case over to someone else…”
Evelyn closed her eyes and remained silent for a few seconds. Thinking of Davy’s helpless and eager face, she shook her head and said, “It’s been too long. If I don’t solve it, no one can.”
Especially now that Huston was involved in the matter, she
