Chapter 217 You and I Have No Relationship Anymore
Huo Wanqing stood up excitedly, tears rolling down her cheeks as she cried about her miserable experience.
But who would have thought that all this did not win Garland any sympathy, and even failed to stop him from leaving.
It was as if she was an insignificant stranger to Garland.
"Don't you want to know what Evelyn has been through?!"
Huo Wanqing suddenly shouted loudly, her choked voice unable to hide the despair in it.
She clenched her fists, relying on the pain of her nails digging into her palms to calm herself down.
However, Garland's steps remained resolute, and he had no intention of stopping because of her words.
"Besides Huo Youshan and Evelin, I am the only one in this world who knows everything!"
“Evelyn doesn’t want to talk to you, right? Then you lose me, and you’ll never know what happened in those three years!”
Huo Wanqing was completely panicked and her voice became sharp. She spoke as fast as pearls and brought out her last bargaining chip.
She silently prayed in her heart, firmly believing that anything related to Evelyn would be able to shake Garland's cold-blooded heart.
As expected, Garland stopped suddenly, and Huo Wanqing stared at him and slowly turned around.
However, Garland's expression was not what he expected. He was no longer the cold and indifferent man he remembered.
Through the glass window, she clearly saw the hidden anger and murderous intent in Garland's eyes. Even through such a thick layer of glass, that strong emotion made her scalp tingle and her body tremble involuntarily.
"Garland, didn't you promise me to enforce the law impartially?"
Huo Wanqing suppressed her fear, her tears falling like beads from a broken string, each drop containing her deep affection for Garland.
Garland stood there like a sculpture, watching her performance, motionless.
Huo Wanqing's heart ached more and more, and she cried so hard that she almost suffocated. But no matter how she cried, she couldn't get any emotional comfort from Garland.
"Don't you remember how much we loved each other in our last life?"
"You promised me..."
Huo Wanqing seized on this sentence, as if trying to use the nightmare that had bound Garland for a long time to awaken Garland's emotions and break the current deadlock.
She didn't know how to regain Garland's favor, and this was her last bargaining chip.
But she miscalculated.
In the torture of losing Evelyn again and again, Garland seems to have begun to gradually get rid of the emotions that were controlled by his previous life.
"I promised you."
Garland opened his mouth slightly, and his voice was so cold that Huo Wanqing shuddered.
"So now I have asked the police to enforce the law impartially."
As Garland spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Huo Wanqing's dirty prison uniform, hinting at her current situation.
With just one glance, Huo Wanqing understood instantly.
"You really agreed to the police doing this to me!"
Huo Wanqing's deep brown pupils turned red with anger and despair, and tears kept overflowing from her swollen eye sockets that had long been swollen from crying, slowly falling down her haggard, weathered face.
If it was the former Huo Wanqing, when Garland saw her like this, he would choose to save her even if she said nothing.
But now, her actions gradually destroyed her image in Garland's heart.
"So what?"
"I promise you, that's based on the premise that you are not a murderer."
Huo Wanqing stared at Garland's pupils closely, trying her best to discover even the slightest bit of different emotions in his cold eyes.
But no, nothing.
“Besides, you dared to touch Evelin, didn’t you think about the consequences?”
"Huo Wanqing, I have done my best for you."
There was determination in Garland's words, and his eyes became sharper, as if he wanted to pierce Huo Wanqing.
“From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. You will pay double for what you did to Evelin!”
"You will spend the rest of your life in fear and suffering."
Garland's voice was low and resolute, and the last sentence fell on her like a curse that could not be shaken off.
Huo Wanqing felt a chill down her spine in an instant, with cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
The blood in her body seemed to flow backwards. Looking at Garland's cold but angry pupils made her realize for the first time that the man in front of her was not as docile as she knew before.
He has just been a sleeping lion.
But now, it was me who angered this sleeping lion, and his anger burned myself.
Faced with Garland's undisguised threat, Huo Wanqing felt helpless and desperate.
She regretted in her heart, regretting why she couldn't do it more cleanly and let Evelin die in the underworld.
"You will regret doing this to me."
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Huo Wanqing gradually relaxed her clenched fists. She wiped away her overflowing tears and stared at Garland intently.
Garland didn't care about Huo Wanqing's threat at all, and didn't even want to look at her.
"Time is up."
At the same time, the door was opened, and the prison guard came in, bowed to Garland, and spoke.
Before Huo Wanqing could react, she was carried out of the door by two prison guards.
"Garland, you will regret this!"
"I'll make you regret it!"
Huo Wanqing struggled like crazy, her cold gaze piercing through the thick glass window and directly onto Garland.
In the Lanburg corridor, Evelin knocked on the study door for a long time but heard no movement from inside.
When she carefully pushed open the door and didn't see any familiar figure, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't find a book and couldn't remember where she kept it, so she thought of trying her luck in the study.
Fortunately, Garland was not in the study, otherwise she would not know what expression to use to face him.
When Evelin walked into the study, she was suddenly choked by the strong smell of smoke, and she hurried to the balcony and took a deep breath before she recovered.
When Evelin looked back again, she discovered that the study was filled with lingering smoke, and the ashtray on the table was overflowing with cigarette butts.
Evelyn frowned slightly, as she remembered that Garland never smoked in the past.
I don’t know when I started to have such a strong addiction to smoking.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Thinking of this, Evelin laughed at herself faintly.
She had decided to give up on this man a long time ago. What did his life or death, health or health have to do with her?
Evelin then walked to the bookshelves and searched through the rows of books she wanted, but at this time, it was obvious that she was already absent-minded.
