Chapter 135

Chapter 135 The only thing connecting them, besides the project, was Rita, What new trick was the up to? The thought of fox viper filled me with disgust. Couldn’t she be imprisoned? Xiazia said, based on the current evidence, Rata could be convicted of assault and attempted murder, resulting in at least a 15–year sentence. Pot the wouldn’t spend a day in jail First, she faked a mental illness;

then she faked a seizure... They’d clearly bribed someone, Could ordinary people really fight against the wealthy? It wasn’t fair. I thought Evan wouldn’t let the Crowes explose loopholes, but he seemed to be letting them. I had no right to demand anything from him, he had his reasons.

I sighed softly. Evan looked back at me, his brow furrowed, noticing my dejection. What was I thinking? If he knew my worries, he’d tell me that ignoring Rita wasn’t about not being able to deal with her; it was about sending her to a real hell.

“Wednesday, who’s coming with me?” His low voice pulled me from my thoughts. I leaned back Zach faced a the rearview mirror.

I volunteered. “I’ll stay at the office; I need to familiarize myself with things.

Zach agreed.“Okay, I’ll go.”

We’d reached a decision, but five minutes later, Evan said, “Secretary Wen will go.”

Zach and I:...

Evan’s cool voice followed.“There’s no real work; it’s just a formality, perfect for Secretary Wen, who’s still getting acquainted with the company.”

Me:... Was he saying I was a decorative item? And if he’d decided I was going, why ask me and Zach? Just order it Zach looked uncomfortable. He glanced at the rearview mirror, remembering the strawberry cake that morning, the protection at lunch, and then... a flood of details he hadn’t previously considered.

OMG! OMG! OMG! His hand trembled; the car swayed.

Evan, who’d been resting, opened his eyes.“Zach, did you drink?”

Zach:“No, no, no way, haha... there’s a rock ahead.” He stammered, glancing at the passenger seat.

We arrived at the office around 1 PM. Evan went to his rest room. Zach and I left his office.“Zach, later...”

“I’ll do it,” Zach said before I finished.

I was surprised, then smiled.“Okay. If you’re busy, leave it to me.”

Zach: “Okay.” I headed to my office. Zach looked at me sympathetically. His thoughts were bold; the CEO wasn’t that kind of person, but... maybe he was lonely.
