Chapter 395
I tightly grasped the velvet box in my hands, which contained evidence and my mother's unfinished hopes and dreams.
A surge of unprecedented strength coursed through me as if my mother's spirit was transmitting her power through this small box. "Thank you, Mr. Fraser. I will protect myself and fulfill Mom's wishes," I said with conviction, my eyes shining with resolve and hope.
I realized this was not only for my mother but also for myself-finding true freedom and light for the part of me that had been bound by lies and deception.
I dragged my weary body back to my place. The revelations had weighed heavily on my mood.
After taking a moment to collect myself, I washed my face and applied light makeup, trying to look more vibrant despite my exhaustion.
Sitting at my desk, I gently opened the velvet box that carried my mother's hopes.
Inside was a thick stack of documents, each one detailing Jack's crimes and evidence of his collusion with criminals.
As I flipped through the pages, my anger grew with each revelation, but it also solidified my determination to expose the truth and seek justice for my mother.
The night fell, and the city lights flickered outside my window, failing to illuminate the dark corners of my heart.
I took a deep breath, opened my laptop, and began organizing the evidence, preparing to bring it to light.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
But I quickly realized that my efforts alone were insignificant. It would be nearly impossible to go public with this information by myself.
I took out my phone and called Ethan.
"It's me, Evelyn." I tried to keep my voice steady, though I couldn't entirely mask the turmoil within.
When he answered, I sensed his concern through the phone. "What's wrong, Eve? You sound like you have something important to say."
I bit my lip, deciding to lay everything out on the table.
"I-I've found some crucial evidence against Jack. It's enough to prove his crimes, but I need your help to bring it to light. I can't do it alone." There was a brief silence on the other end before Ethan's resolute voice came through.
"You're right. Tell me what I need to do."
I briefly summarized the situation and the evidence I had, then added, "I hope we can submit this evidence to the relevant authorities together and let the law take its course."

Without hesitation, Ethan replied, "Okay, I'll make arrangements. You need to ensure your safety and avoid-acting alone. Always keep me updated on your whereabouts." en
After hanging up, a wave of warmth flooded through me.
Ethan's involvement felt like having the Grayson family's backing, making this situation more manageable.
The night grew deeper, silence
enveloping everything except for the light in my room, shining like the
brightest star in the night sky
guiding my path forward.
I reviewed the evidence repeatedly. Each document felt like a sharp blade, slicing through Jack's façade and exposing the ugly truth about him.
The following day, sunlight filtered through the curtains, warming my face. I organized all the materials, preparing to face the challenges ahead. Ethan was incredibly efficient. He had already contacted a legal team and scheduled a meeting for us.
