Should I trust Dex or Evelyn?

In Cyberpunk 2077, your choice to trust Dex or Evelyn during the heist preparation doesn't significantly alter the ultimate outcome, as the heist fails and Dex betrays you regardless; however, telling Dex about Evelyn's offer can slightly increase your share (to 40% from 30%) and influence dialogue, making it more about your character's approach than a major branching path. Both characters are ultimately self-serving, so neither is truly trustworthy, and the decision mainly affects early-game interactions and character dynamics, not the broader story's conclusion.
