Duke Wilson stood by the window, watching the gardener in the garden as he was tending to the roses in the garden. His expression was indifferent. The words Simmons spoke just now seemed to still be echoing in his ears. Ford hated Evan so much that he wanted to destroy him through such cruel means.
Duke Wilson let out a sneer, unfortunately he still underestimated just how vicious the enemy was.
Duke Wilson gently tugged at the bell rope by the window. After a while, Butler Chris walked in. Duke Wilson ordered something, and Butler Chris left with a cautious look.
Watching Butler Chris leave, a cold smile appeared on Duke Wilson’s lips. He didn’t care about many people in this world but the few people he did care about, he would never let them suffer any harm.
Evan didn’t know about the open and secret fight between Duke Wilson and Ford but he knew very well that although Ford made so many small moves, since Mrs Sanders had gone to Duke Wilson, then the Duke would not let anything bad happen. For this, he still trusts Duke Wilson very much.
But since this is the case, Evan’s life is still difficult these days. The rumors about him have gotten so popular and the attitude of the people around him have begun to change.
At the beginning, it was the church people who stopped coming to the church. Even the most crowded service on weekdays is now very rare. There are basically no people who come and the people who come are people who are friends with Evan, such as Sheriff Chandler and Colonel Mel, both of whom have been consistently coming to church.
But it was not the two that surprised Evan the most, but Rael, who had just been released. After Evan sent away a few scattered parishioners one day, he even came to the church.
Evan was very surprised when he saw Rael. As far as he knew, when his reputation was still intact, Rael rarely came to the church to pray. Now his reputation has become so tattered, but Rael came to the church.
“Mr Rael.” Evan looked at Rael tentatively, “It’s great that you can come to the church.”
Rael’s face was not as good-looking as it was before. At this time, his face was pale and he was a little thinner. The bottom of his eyes were blue and black, and the originally bright green eyes also seemed a little dull at this time.
“Reverend Bruce, I’m very sorry for your current situation.” Rael said as he went straight to the point, “But maybe only in your current situation can you understand my situation.” There was a look of pleading in Rael’s eyes.
Evan frowned slightly. He didn’t like this person in the first place, but now that he said these words, this made Evan have a bad feeling in his heart.
“You mean…” Evan said cautiously.
Rael lowered his head and bit his lower lip, and finally said after a long time, “Originally, I was very unwilling to trouble you, but this matter has now reached the point of no return, so I want to seek your help.”
Evan looked at Rael behaving like this and didn’t know what to say. In the end, he could only keep his mouth shut with the principle of not making any more mistakes.
“Reverend Bruce, after this terrible incident, my reputation has been completely ruined in Delanlier. If I had not saved a little money before, I would not have left the police station so easily. Reverend, now I want to leave Delanlier and start over somewhere else. Can you please help me write a letter of reference? Otherwise, it will be difficult for me in the future.”
Rael looked at Reverend Bruce with a very sincere expression, as if he would promise the same if it was Evan in his shoes.
Evan hated that look, it made him feel like he was in Rael’s control and he hated it.
“Mr Rael, you haven’t worked for me before, so I’m afraid I can’t agree to such a request.” Evan said very coldly.
Rael seemed to have expected him to say this and his expression became more and more pitiful, “Reverend Bruce, please have pity on my situation. The matter between me and Mr Johnson has completely destroyed me and I want to start over. If I want to find a decent job, if I don’t have a letter of reference, I’m afraid it will be very difficult, and then my life will be even more difficult. Reverend Bruce, you are a kind person, please, I’m sure you will be able to help me.”
Rael’s words were so sincere, he almost put Evan in a position where he couldn’t refuse. And now that Evan’s reputation is in tatters, agreeing to Rael’s request is tantamount to making things worse and if Evan refuses and annoys Rael, he’s sure that more ugly rumors will come out.
Evan sneered in his heart, this Rael really knows how to choose the time to ask for help.
“This…” Evan seemed to hesitate for a moment, “I will consider this matter carefully. Please go back first, I will give you an answer in a few days.”
Now that the matter with Ford has reached a critical point, Evan can’t care about a bereaved dog like Rael. If he irritates him, he has nothing to lose, but he can’t so Evan still decides to delay.
Rael didn’t seem to have expected Evan’s reaction and was a little surprised, but Evan didn’t turn his face against him on the spot, and he didn’t really want to force Evan. He could only smile and agree first, but he thought, be sure to force Reverend Bruce hard, this is the best chance he has.

Rael left with satisfaction, but Evan’s eyes as he looked at his back became more and more cold. He really hated this person more and more. Suddenly, Evan thought of Miss Blair and what she said that day and he became thoughtful…
Rael’s arrival was just a little episode and a bigger storm followed soon after.
That afternoon, Ford finally came to see Evan at the church. Since Evan moved back from Cornwall Manor, Ford has moved out of the premises of the Delanlier Church and moved into a hotel in the town. Through all these there has been a lot of hustle and bustle around Evan in the past few days but Ford was being very calm, but Evan has always been very clear that this is just the tranquility before the storm, and now, the storm has finally come.
“Reverend Bruce.” At this time, Ford has returned to his previous gentle appearance, as if the previous ferocious Ford was just an illusion.
Evan behaved more calmly than Ford. He stood in front of the altar and watched Ford walk towards him step by step against the light, and his face did not change at all.
“How do you feel now?” Ford finally walked up to Evan, with a sarcastic smile on his face, unable to hide the malice in his eyes, “How does it feel to be betrayed by the people around you? I heard that even Duke Wilson has not come to see you for a long time.”
The reason why Evan is in such a difficult situation is also because Duke Wilson did not come out to support him the first time, but Evan is very convinced that this is just Duke Wilson’s attempt to blindfold Ford.
“Thank you for your concern, I’m very fine.” Evan looked at Ford calmly.
“Very fine?” Ford laughed, “Bruce, you have reached this point, don’t try to be brave.”
Seeing Ford’s slightly smug look, Ford sighed: “Is this what you want?”
“Of course not!” Ford’s face suddenly changed, and he looked at Evan as he grit teeth, “This is just an appetizer. You ruined my reputation, do you still want to live peacefully? Is it so easy to escape?” Ford’s eyes were slightly red, “Bruce, I can’t wait to see you fall into hell and suffer from being burnt by the fire forever!”
Evan looked at Ferd and couldn’t understand his deep hatred. It is true that the original owner did something wrong to him before, but such deep hatred made Evan a little unexpected. (He’s just bitter that he couldn’t get you )
“Ford, I’m really sorry for what I did wrong, and I hope I can make it up, but if you frame me with false words, can your heart be peaceful?” He despises making these kinds of remarks, but because of the current situation, he still has to say such words.
Ferd laughed, “Peace of mind? You are really interesting. Bruce, you hurt me like that, but now you come to talk to me about peace of mind. It’s already gotten to this point, do you still have to pretend?”
Evan calmly looked at Fold, who was laughing wildly, with a trace of pity in his eyes and said nothing.
But Ford couldn’t stand his gaze very much. He took a step forward almost furiously, grabbed Evan’s shoulder fiercely, and said angrily, “Don’t look at me like this! I don’t need your mercy!”
Evan’s shoulder hurt a little from his grasp, and he frowned, but his tone was still gentle, “Ford, I did something wrong back then, don’t make it happen again and again. ”
Ford stared at Evan, but after a long time, he suddenly laughed. His laughter was so terrifying that even Evan shivered.
“Bruce, it’s too late to say this now.” Ford’s tone was a little strange, “Actually, no matter what it is, it won’t work on me anymore, you’d better give up.”
Ford let go of Evan’s shoulders, he stroked his wrinkled cuffs and he returned to his calm look as he said solemnly, “I have reported your matter to the church and the bishop is very dissatisfied. He let me be responsible for investigating this matter, there will be a review meeting about you tomorrow at noon in the central square in Delanlier, I hope you can attend it on time.”
He paused slightly, and showed a strange smile to Evan, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t come to participate. The conference will be held on time, but it is not certain what will happen.”
Evan looked at Ford, and actually had a little worry in his heart but he thought about Duke Wilson and he felt a lot more relieved.
Evan nodded, “I’ll be there on time, don’t worry.”
Ford nodded with satisfaction, turned and left the church, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and looked at him maliciously, “Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, your good duke also received an invitation, and I don’t know what his face will be like when he finds out about your true face. It will be really exciting!” (Oh, I’m just waiting for your sweet and hard downfall, it’ll be very very exciting)
Evan stood in place, watching Ford’s back getting farther and farther and his expression turned solemn. Although his heart told him that Duke Wilson was a very trustworthy person, at this critical juncture, he still couldn’t help but wonder whether his plan would really be successful and Evan’s heart turned chaotic.
