Chapter 1: Misadventures
"This bench now sentences the defendant Andrew Wilson to a two-year reprieve from death on the charges of murder and capital raising fraud, as provided by law!"
Clunk.
In the courtroom, the judge made a final decision on the fate of Andrew Wilson.
Evelyn Wilson stood up violently from the audience at the word, her amber eyes haloed with mist, stubbornly refusing to fall, looking nervously at Andrew.
"Dad......" she choked up and went up to Andrew, trying to say a few words to him.
Andrew wearing a white prison uniform, was dragged by a few guards, haggard face, has long lost the former spirited, the whole person as if aged dozens of years, the temples and even born white silver hair. "Eve, believe daddy, daddy is not a murderer, these are false accusations, a frame-up by the opponent!"
Evelyn's heart was in a knot.
Of course she believed that her kind-hearted father could not be a murderer!
She held thin tears, her voice hoarse: "Dad, don't worry, I will find a way to overturn the case for you to save you from ......
"This is not your visiting time, it's time for the prisoners to go back to the prison." Seeing that Evelyn was blocking the way forward, the prison guard was really impatient and pulled her away. Evelyn's body, which was already holding strong, now stumbled to the ground like a string being pulled full.
The skin on her wrist was abraded and it hurt, but she couldn't cry.
She also has to find a way to save her dad......
Fabian Barron, by the way.
He is her fiancé, he must have a solution.
Evelyn called Fabian in tears like she was clutching at straws.
"Begging me to save your father? Evelyn, don't be naive. I was only planning to marry you because of your father's wealth. Now that the Wilson family is bankrupt and Andrew is in jail, why should I go after him?"
Through the earpiece, Fabian's words were like a sharp knife that plunged hard into Evelyn's heart!
Her lower lip was almost bitten to bleed, her voice trembled: "But the business community all know that the Wilson family and the Barron family will soon be married, even if you want to repudiate the marriage, you have to make a show, are you not afraid of affecting the reputation of the Barron family?"
"Well, this point does need attention." Fabian's careless voice came slowly and added: "Since you are begging so genuinely, I will give you this chance, come to Season Hotel tonight at nine o'clock, if you satisfy me, I will consider your proposal."
Evelyn clenched her teeth, all the blood rushing straight to her head: "You're falling on your sword!"
He sneered disdainfully, "Come as you are."
The tears that I had been holding in all day could no longer be held back and came out.
Fabian has explicitly said that he will not marry her, yet he wants her to go to the hotel to accompany him .......
But if I don't go, what will Dad do?
When those friends saw their father's accident, they all hated that they never knew her. In grief and anger, Evelyn made a solemn decision that she could only dance with the devil. Arriving outside the door of the promised private room at the Season Hotel, Evelyn knocked on the door......
The door is not locked.
She pushed the door in with a shudder and was surrounded by darkness.
Her lips were taut and her long eyelashes twitched delicately.
"Fabian? I've done what you asked, you ...... Well!"
The words have not fallen, a harsh black shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
A hot rolling scent came, unlike the cologne that Fabian usually uses, mixed with the smell of alcohol, some pungent. Dodo.
I don't know exactly how long it took, but Evelyn was awakened by the vibrating sound of her bedside phone.
She struggled to move, as if being split in two down the middle, her body aching, her hanging fingers slowly tightening, she stared dead at the man sleeping with his back to her. There was a moment when she really wanted to kill him, even if it was to die with him!
Turning to the thought of her father is still in prison waiting for her to save
Painfully, I reached for my phone and the text message came to my eyes.
[Eve, come back quickly, your father was in a car accident on the way to the prison and his life is not yet known!
Evelyn saw the text message at that instant, all the blood in her body like frozen, sitting up violently from the bed, involving the wound under her body, the pain of her face as white as paper. But she couldn't care less, she haphazardly put on her clothes and stumbled out ......
How could there be a car accident all of a sudden, obviously it was fine before!
I don't know when Evelyn left, a breeze slowly brushed by, blowing the curtains swaying with the wind, the clear and bright moonlight through the gaps in the curtains pouring on the bed.
It also illuminates the face of the man.
The high bridge of the nose, thin and sexy lips, cold silhouette of the features, together with exquisite like a ghostly work, even when sleeping, eyebrows are habitually lightly wrinkled. It was a face that bore some resemblance to Fabian's, yet ...... was not Fabian!
