Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Entanglement
"However, to Justin Battleson, her tears were worthless.
Justin Battleson fell silent, unsure of how to respond to her shameless behavior.
Suddenly, he felt that helping her break into the entertainment industry five years ago was the right decision.
After all, she really did have a talent for acting.
"’"Evil deeds shall doom their perpetrator."
Justin Battleson casually uttered this sentence.
Evelyn Curtis’ face went stiff in an instant, forgetting how to cry.
"Justin, it’s not what you think, Charlotte Thompson ... Charlotte is really bad, she..."
Having heard this, Justin Battleson ignored her following words.
There’s no need to continue this conversation.
No matter what he said, she wouldn’t recognize her own mistakes and would simply evade responsibility.
He didn’t want to waste more words on her, there was a pile of documents waiting for his attention on his desk.
"Go home and rest, I have work to do."
Justin Battleson impatiently ordered her out.
He did not want to waste his time on Evelyn Curtis.
Evelyn Curtis stared at Justin Battleson’s indifferent face, her own paling.
She moved her lips, but did not know what to say.
His heart was truly cold, a person so chilly that no warmth could reach.
"Justin, you’re all I have left. Ever since that night five years ago, I have belonged to you. I come from a rural background, a girl who has lost her first time, how am I supposed to live..."
Evelyn Curtis was choked up with emotions, crying heartbrokenly.
Old grudges resurfaced again, now being the only thing Evelyn Curtis could use to restrain Justin Battleson.
Her hot tears fell on Justin Battleson’s hand, causing him some annoyance.
That night’s encounter was something he found hard to let go.
Having regarded her naiveté as a girl then, he had indulged Evelyn Curtis all these years.
He had ensured that she wanted for nothing and had all the resources she needed.
However, it was because of his generosity that Evelyn Curtis had become more arrogant, acting recklessly under the name "Justin Battleson".
Justin Battleson felt only annoyance and a headache, massaging his forehead with his fingers.
The night five years ago was an unfortunate situation, and as a man, it was his duty to take responsibility.
Things had already happened and Justin Battleson, no matter what, couldn’t change them, but he felt a sense of suffocation.
"I will help you get rid of the black material." After a several minutes of silence, Justin Battleson finally spoke up.
The calmness in his eyes was not from sympathy, but from his wish for Evelyn Curtis to stop pestering him.
Hearing his words, Evelyn Curtis looked overjoyed; she thought she had finally moved him.
"What about Charlotte?" Well, once given a little hope, people tend to get too greedy.
Evelyn Curtis regarded Justin Battleson with hopeful eyes; she wished to hear the answer she wanted from him.
The tear streaks on her face hadn’t completely dried yet, and her contained joy made her look even more ridiculous.
Having been rejected twice before, she wisely refrained from reaching out and touching Justin Battleson this time.
Avoiding making Justin Battleson dislike her more was a way to save her face.
"I can help you with the black material, but I will not harm Charlotte."
Justin Battleson replied calmly, his words firm and leaving no room for negotiation.
He looked at her; his sharp gaze seemed to pierce through her, as cold as if he was looking at a corpse.
The resentment in his gaze was obvious, and the warning was clear.
The compromise was only to assuage some guilt, Justin Battleson was under no obligation to do more for her.
"But..." Evelyn Curtis was unwilling to give up, wanting to say more.
