Chapter 140 Charlie’s Confession
Charlie and Evelyn were preparing all the lawsuit materials needed for John’s case. However,
unexpectedly, the M&F Group suddenly proposed to agree with John’s conditions and wanted to
reconcile on the day before the trial.
Charlie had made countless unexpected assumptions before, but he had never expected such a
situation to occur.
Evelyn was also surprised. But after all, they had to consider the opinions of the parties involved. John
thought about it for a night and finally agreed to reconcile.
The lawsuit, which had been prepared for countless days and nights, ended just like that. Evelyn was
still in a daze. While they were trying to mediate in private, Nick did not show up. Instead, another
person in charge of the M&F Group showed up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvelyn had a rather strange thought in her heart. Perhaps it had something to do with her when Nick
agreed to reconcile.
After getting the compensation, John was very satisfied and kept apologizing to Charlie and Evelyn.
Charlie didn’t say much and just asked him to live a good life in the future.
On the way back, Evelyn kept silent. When they arrived at the parking lot of the HM Law Office, he
asked her, “Are you surprised?”
Evelyn nodded and said, “I’m surprised. I always feel that it was abnormal for Nick to make such a
decision.”
In fact, Charlic also thought so. It was very strange because Nick didn’t get any benefits from doing
this. But…
“Take a good rest since the lawsuit ended. We don’t need to worry about the follow-up problems as
long as John is satisfied.” Charlie smiled and continued, “This is your first case. You have to accept
whether the result is good or bad.”
“It’s not bad. At least John is very satisfied.” Evelyn raised her hand and pinched the back of her neck.
“I just think that Nick is very unpredictable.”
Seeing her actions, Charlie raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Is your neck sour?”
“Yes.” It would be strange if she didn’t feel sour after reading so many documents and files every day.
She didn’t think much about it. Just as she was massaging her neck, a warm palm suddenly fell on the
back of her hand. She was shocked and subconsciously shrank her neck to dodge to the side, but her
wrist was grabbed by Charlie.
She was so scared that she stammered, “Lawyer… Lawyer Athena?”
She struggled with all her might, but Charlie refused to let go. He said, “After the lawsuit ends, you’ll be
given a full-time examination. At that time, you won’t need an instructor like me
anymore.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe felt so nervous that her heart was in her throat. She didn’t know what he meant.
Charlie said more bluntly, “Evelyn, I did treat you special during this period of time. Even if I won’t be
your instructor in the future, I still hope that we can meet often.”
She understood the hidden meaning behind his words, which made her panic even more. She said,
“Lawyer Athena, what are you talking about? We are colleagues, and we will definitely meet often in
the future. In my heart, you will always be my senior and schoolmate.”
She was searching for a way to justify her standpoint and escape the situation, but Charlie was
resolute to make himself clear. He said, “I don’t mean to be your senior or schoolmate. I want to be on
an equal footing with you.”
Afraid that she would gloss it over again, he added, “Men versus
women.”
