The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 543

Evelyn wasn't focused on Charles's explanations.

Her mind fixated on what he'd said: Wesley had already handed over the evidence of Dahlia's crimes.

He'd told her the proof was now with the police-solid and indisputable.

Evelyn's emotions threatened to overwhelm her. Her lips trembled as she struggled for composure.

She bowed her head, pressing a hand to her mouth.

Tears welled up, spilling over in heavy drops.

Every memory replayed, vivid and unrelenting in her mind.

Her beloved Charlie had lain beneath the cold soil nearly three years before justice was done.
