The officer looked at her again and then at her ID card carefully.
"You ask a lot of questions, you know that?"
“I'm just curious. Forget I said anything.“
Considering she was a woman with no criminal record, the officer told her kindly, "Old Lady or no old Lady, he's in trouble. For what he had on him, that's good for at least six or seven years in prison.”
“What if there was proof he was doing this as a favor to someone else?
What if he didn't know?" Evelyn asked.
The officer returned her ID card and peered at her suspiciously.
“Sounds Like you know something we don't."
Tayson walked up to her.
"Miss, we're in a hurry." He looked at the officer.
"Forgive her, she's not well."
Evelyn looked at the boy, who was broken down crying. He just looked like an ordinary college student. If they locked him up for a few years, his life would be ruined only because he was willing to help others.
That could turn him bitter and angry at the world. ‘No, I can't let this happen!’ she thought with a firm expression.
Without rolling up the window, Evelyn left the car and told the officer with a stern Look in her eyes, "I think I can prove he's innocent."
The officer was rendered speechless.
In the Hilton family's villa
Matthew had just come back from school. When he saw Carlos walking into the house, a break from the man's week-long business trip, he said,
“Dad, you're finally back. I have something to discuss with you. What do you think about an all-in-one desk?"
Carlos handed his coat and luggage to the housemaid. When he saw his son look more and more Like him, he replied expressionlessly, “What do
I think? I think you're trying to get your old man to pony up the cash for that all-in-one desk. Tell you what: come up with reasons why you need one. Maybe write an essay. If I like what you have to tell me,
I'll buy it for you. How's that?"
Obediently, Matthew went upstairs to write the essay.
Just then, Terilynn opened the door to the villa and rushed in, excitedly saying, “Dad, you're finally back! Can you give me one of your bank cards? I want a new camera. I only need to move my fingers to take photos with that beauty. It's the latest and greatest, and only costs a few hundred large. I only need a million. Please, Daddy?" She batted her eyelashes at him and gazed at him lovingly.
“No problem," Carlos agreed without hesitation.
Matthew stopped in his tracks and waited for Carlos to continue. What his father said next broke his heart.
