Chapter 121
“For me? What are you talking about?” Eliana asked with squinted eyes, confused by Evelynn’s accusation.
“If I had known things would end up like this, I would have arranged for more people in that shop to get rid of you! If I hadn’t made a mistake and you hadn’t been rescued by Maurice’s men, my family wouldn’t have been destroyed. It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!” Evelynn shouted, with clear madness in her eyes.
For a moment, Eliana froze in shock.
She had always suspected that Evelynn was the one behind everything, but since she couldn’t find any evidence to prove it, she had stayed silent till now.
But she had never imagined that Evelynn would actually admit it with her own mouth!
“Evelynn, it’s no surprise that your family has been reduced to such a state. It’s what you deserve. And I’ll have you know that I wasn’t rescued by Mr. Moran’s men that day. You think that Maurice destroyed the Jarvis family for my sake? Sorry, I’m not that charming.”
Just the memories of that day brought the lingering fear to the surface of Eliana’s mind. She knew that if Preston hadn’t arrived in time that day, she might have been dead by now.
“Eliana, stop lying through your teeth! It was of course Maurice’s men who saved you that day. How long are you going to pretend like you don’t know?”
Evelynn was fed up with what she was sure was an act by Eliana.
After all, she had orchestrated the whole scheme in secret. No one could have found the shop in such a short time, let alone dared to take Eliana away from Gerald’s territory, except Maurice.novelbin
Immersed in her own perspective, Evelynn completely regarded herself as a victim.
Eliana knew this, so she didn’t want to waste her breath arguing with Evelynn anymore.
Instead, she just walked past Evelynn and left.
But she had barely taken two steps when Evelynn whirled around and grabbed her hand.
When Eliana turned her head to look back at Evelynn, she saw tears rolling down the latter’s cheeks. The woman who had looked fierce and deranged just two seconds ago now looked pitiful.
“Eliana, I’m begging you. You can do anything you want to me, but don’t take your anger out on my family. My poor mother has a heart disease. She won’t be able to live with the fact that we’re broke. Can you help me beg Maurice?”
As Evelynn spoke, her left hand which was hidden behind her back curled into a fist, and her nails dug into her palm.
She wanted nothing more than to pounce forward and kill Eliana, but right now, Eliana was the only one who could change Maurice’s mind.
In this situation, she had no choice but to bow down to Eliana!
But Evelynn promised herself that in the future, once she had regained her previous power, the first person she would deal with was Eliana.
Of course, Eliana couldn’t possibly know what was going on in Evelynn’s mind. All Eliana could see was the tears on Evelynn’s face and the way her lips were trembling, making her look pathetic. It was probably the first time that Evelynn had ever begged someone for mercy.
The scene in front of Eliana reminded her of her father.
When the Pierce Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, had her father begged for help to save the group?
The memory tugged at Eliana’s heart, but she refused to sympathize with Evelynn. In her eyes, the Jarvis family deserved their downfall and more.
Besides, a person like Evelynn, who thought that she had the right to take a person’s life at will, had to learn the hard way that the same thing could happen to her at any moment.
Eliana would never forgive this woman in front of her, who had once tried to kill her!
“Evelynn, stop putting on a show. You’re just wasting both of our time. I’m not a pushover, and I’m not interested in helping you. Let go of me right now. I have to go to work,” Eliana said curtly as she shook off Evelynn’s hand. Then, she strode into the company without looking back.
Evelynn charged forward to chase after her but was stopped by the security guards.
When Eliana got into the elevator and turned around, she saw Evelynn standing outside the office building caught in a tangle with the security guards. At this moment, Evelynn’s face was twisted in fury.
Just as Eliana expected, Evelynn couldn’t keep up her pitiful facade for long. Arguing with the security guards like a shrew, she looked ridiculous, much to Eliana’s pleasure.
Her run-in with Evelynn didn’t affect her mood at all.
When the doors of the elevator opened, Eliana stepped out and walked briskly into the office of the Design Department. As soon as she sat down at her desk, she saw Bradly packing up the things on his desk.
“Bradly, what’s wrong? Are you leaving the company? Did Maurice make things difficult for you again? Did he force you to resign?” Eliana asked anxiously, jumping out of her seat and walking up to Bradly. There was a stab of guilt in her heart, since she felt that she was the one who had made him get into trouble.
“Eliana, calm down. I’m indeed leaving the company, but I’m the one who took the initiative to resign. I’m going back to America,” Bradly explained.
Hearing those words, Eliana felt like the breath had been knocked out of her lungs.
It turned out that it was time to say good-bye again.
Bradly took a deep breath and finally said the words that he had been chewing over.
“Eliana, would you like to leave with me and start a new life in America?”
