Upon hearing this, John Let out a smile.
âOh really? Eleanor, what a fortunate sequence of events.

I assume Brian was under the impression that he was the one you shared a bed with that night.
You didnât want me disrupting your scheme, so you urged Brian to replace me, correct?â
Eleanorâs eyes dimmed as her fingers involuntarily clenched.
John continued, âI recall a client attempted to trap Brian that night and ended up being banished from Wragos by him.
That night, Brian did share a bed with a woman, but you pretended as her, didnât you?â
