Chapter 131

Eliza and Xander escorted the Comtois family couple to the hotel together. Mariam was in poor health.

When she was in the Valentine family, she had always been tough. She was weak as soon as she left the Valentine family, like a deflated rubber ball. Now that Roseane had become like that because of Eliza, Eliza felt that it was necessary for her to take good care of Mariam. So she kept serving Mariam tea and water in the hotel. “Mrs. Valentine, don’t worry about it.” Mariam leaned against the bed and gently touched her chest. “This is an inveterate disease. I’ll be better after a rest.” “You’re a noble lady.

Don’t take care of me, or you’ll lose your worth.” Her words caused Eliza to pause slightly. After a while, Eliza sighed. “Auntie, don’t say that.” “Although I’m Beau’s wife, I’m also Roseane’s friend.” “I should take care of you.” When she mentioned Roseane, Mariam started coughing harder. “Get up.” At the side, Xander looked at Eliza coldly, and said in a low and cold voice, “My mother is in grief. She will be fine after some rest.” “Don’t get in the way here.” After that, Xander coldly rolled his eyes and turned to open the door. “Leave.” Eliza pursed her lips. Xander’s behavior made her feel uncomfortable. “Mrs. Valentine, you can go back.” Mariam leaned against the bed and continued, “It’s so late. You haven’t eaten, have you?” “It’s all my fault.” After that, she glanced at Xander. “Send Mrs. Valentine back. Do you hear me?”

“Okay.” Xander curled his lips. “You don’t have to say it. I’ll definitely send her back.” He looked at Eliza disdainfully as he said. “She is a weak woman no matter what. Even if I hate the people of the Valentine family, I will not ignore her.” Xander opened the door and looked at Eliza again. “After you.” Since they insisted Eliza to go back, she couldn’t stay there any longer. She looked at Mariam and took a deep breath. “Auntie.” “I know there are some things that shouldn’t be said by me, but I still want to say it.”

“Matthew may not know how to talk and he’s also weird.” “However, he was the one who proposed to marry Roseane, and it was also him who took the initiative to fight against his family for Roseane.”

“What’s more, about the shares, actually, it was not Matthew who wanted to marry Roseane for the shares, but my husband was afraid that Matthew’s parents would not agree and make things difficult for him. So he promised that he would use ten percent of his shares as a gift for Matthew’s marriage.”

“Matthew didn’t marry Roseane because of money.” She came here especially to explain it to the Comtois family. After all, Matthew would not take the initiative to explain and Beau would not chase after them to explain. As such, she was the one who should handle the matter. “Even if he didn’t do it for money, what about his parents?” Xander rolled his eyes. “Didn’t they do it for money?” “Besides, what did his mother mean?” Eliza bit her lips and said, “But Roseane married Matthew.” “You can’t judge a child by his parents, can you?” She took a deep breath and said, “Can you tell that my mother left me since I was born? And that my father a drunkard?” “I still have my adoptive parents.” “My adoptive parents only care about profit. They forced me to repay their upbringing and marry Beau for money.” “If I follow the logic like mother like son, then I should be a person who’s selfish, immoral, and irresponsible, right?”

Eliza’s words made the whole room silent instantly. The Comtois family couple looked at Eliza in shock.

What shocked them was not only Eliza’s background, but also her courage. They met each other only today in the Valentine family. But she was willing to show them all her past openly when there were differences between them. Her sincerity made Xander feel a little embarrassed to continue to speak ill of her. After a while, Xander curled his lip. “Why do you talk so much?” “Are you leaving or not?” “Let’s go.”

Eliza bit her lip and bowed to the Comtois family. She then turned around and left with Xander. Coming out of the hotel, Eliza saw a dumpling restaurant opposite the hotel. She remembered that Roseane once said in a show that her favorite was dumplings, and her brother’s favorite was dumplings too. So she pursed her lips and pulled Xander directly into the dumpling restaurant. “It’s so late. Uncle and Auntie haven’t eaten yet.” Her reason had completely convinced Xander. He unwillingly sat down across from Eliza. It took some time for the dumplings to be served. Eliza couldn’t help but chat with Xander. Of course, the content of the chat revolved around Roseane. “She will be fine.” Xander poured himself a glass of water and gently sipped it. “My sister is the most sensible one.” “She won’t let my mother lose two daughters in just a few years.” Two daughters? Eliza frowned. “You still have a sister?” Xander’s body paused slightly. “Sort of.” “But it’s not my biological sister.” “It’s the Kezia that you were all talking about before.” Kezia!? Eliza’s eyes widened in shock. “She’s also your sister?” “That’s right.” Xander’s unrestrained face was full of attachment to Roseane. “My sister was abducted when she was a child, but in the end, she escaped from the traffickers’ by herself.” “Then she was sent to the orphanage.” “She met Kezia at the orphanage. The two of them are as close as sisters.” “Later, when the police went to find her with her mom and dad, she asked them to adopt Kezia as well.” “So that’s why.” Xander laughed bitterly.

“After that, my mother brought her home and raised her like a real daughter.” “But…” He lowered his head. “You’ve seen it now.” “My sister gave Kezia a home, gave her a chance to live.” “But what Kezia gave her in return was having a place in her beloved man’s heart.” His words made Eliza sigh, and she especially wanted to defend Roseane. But on second thought… “In fact, it’s not Kezia’s fault.” “She probably didn’t expect that…” “How could she not expect that?” Xander sneered, “She is a thief” Eliza pursed her lips. Before she could askwhat Kezia had stolen from Roseane, the dumplings had already been cooked. Xander stood up with dumplings in his hands and waved goodbye to Eliza with a smile.

The moment he turned around, he suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and said coldly, “Kezia stole the most important thing to my sister.”
