The atmosphere in the room became awkward. Graciana frowned and coldly glanced at Beau before holding Elizaâs hand. âYou said he doesnât like you?â âYes!â Eliza, who was drunk, did not care about what she said anymore. âHe just doesnât like me.â âIn his heart, Iâm not important at all!â Beau narrowed his eyes and remained silent. The actors whispered among themselves. âDidnât Mr. Valentine just announce their relationship yesterday?â âDidnâthe make it clear that he did it because he doesnât want to see Eliza kiss another man?â âYes, I was envious listening to his confession. I thought Eliza was the happiest woman in the world, but nowâ¦â âAh, how can ordinary people predict the feud between influential families? As the saying goes, the greater the return, the higher the riskâ¦â âI didnât expect that a man with Mr. Valentineâs status would also fall for a woman this hardâ¦â
â¦
These comments made Gracianaâs frown deeper. She took a deep breath and held Elizaâs shoulder.
âEliza, since you have talked about this, you should make it clear. What did Beau do to you?â âIf he really doesnât like you, thereâs no need to help him maintain his image.â One day ago, he even told everyone that he liked Eliza a lot, and the day after that, Eliza drank so much because of him! In this case, if her best friend didnât help her, who would? Gracianaâs words silenced everyone in the room in an instant.
Everyone pricked up their ears for fear of missing a word and hearing less gossip. Eliza pursed her lips in an aggrieved manner. âHeâs been very nice to me.â âIn my life, he is the man who treats me the best, better than my biological father and foster father.â âItâs just that.â Her nose twitched. âIn his heart, I am not the most important one.â âGracianaâ¦â
The drunk little woman could not feel the surrounding gazes. She thought she was at Gracianaâs home, sitting on the Gracianaâs sofa. So she relaxed and expressed all her emotions to her. âI also know that I appeared later than others in his life. That woman died for him.â âShe is the most important in his heart, and I can understand that.â âHe values relationship and loyalty. He is a good man.â âBut I just feel uncomfortable. No woman wants their husband to think of another woman in his heart.â âI know Iâm selfish⦠but I canât control it.â She lay on Gracianaâs shoulder, her tears soaking Gracianaâs clothes.
âWhy didnât I meet him five years ago?â âWhy didnât I meet him five years agoâ¦â Her tearful voice made Beauâs eyes darken. He got up and walked over, gently taking over the little woman on Gracianaâs shoulder. âWhy am I the one who appeared later onâ¦â âI shouldnât have liked Jay just because he had once saved me. I shouldnât have made friends with Madeleine, and I shouldnât have agreed to let them do thatâ¦â She sobbed on Beauâs shoulder, âIf only I didnât promise Esme⦠If only I didnât know Beau, I wouldnât be so sad nowâ¦â The man holding her quietly tightened his arm. He never knew that she thought so in her heart. For a long time, he had always felt that love was not something that could be judged by words. He believed that as long as he treated her well, she would eventually be able to sense his feelings. But it turned out that the better he treated her, the more insecure she would be. The scene in front of him was too dazzling. Julian frowned and turned around to leave the room. Gloria rolled her eyes and quickly followed him out. In the past, as long as Julian appeared, Gracianaâs gaze would never leave him. But now, she didnât even notice that Julian had left. She bit her lips and stared at Beauâs every move. This man⦠didnât seem to not love Eliza that much, like what Eliza said. She hesitated for a moment, picked up her mobile phone in a hurry, and tapped on the camera. Eliza was still leaning on Beau as she spoke about her grievances. But her voice grew softer and softer. In the end, she simply fell asleep in his arms. âBeau.â The moment he stood up while holding Eliza in his arms, Graciana frowned and stood up to stop him. âCan you answer my question?â Beau stopped and looked at her with his bottomless eyes. âSpeak.â âEliza just said that you are a person who values relationships.â âI also believe that you are a person who values relationships. The woman back then is very important to you. You canât easily forget her, and I understand that.â âBut can you tell me which is more important between Eliza and that woman?â Beau hesitated for a while, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. âBoth of them are important.â Graciana was still blocking in front of him. âYou know thatâs not Beau frowned. âAfter all, they have never existed in the same space-time, nor have they appeared beside me at the same time. I have no idea who is more important.â âBut I can assure you.â He took a deep breath, and his low voice was like making a vow. âIn my heart, Eliza is definitely not any less important than Chasity.â After speaking, he tenderly carried the sleeping Eliza, walked past Graciana, and left. Graciana stood still and did not turn back for a long time. âEveryone.â After Beau left, Noah walked in from outside the door. âMr. Valentine said that all the actors tonight are registered actors in the cast.â âIf everyone pretends as if nothing had happened tomorrow, then the Valentine family can guarantee that the entire crew will be successful.â
âBut if one day, what happened tonight is exposed, then no matter what position you are in, all of you will suffer great loses.â âPlease believe that the Valentine family has the ability to bring everyone up, and has to ability to destroy everyone as well.â The actors and actresses in the room looked at each other and dared not speak again. In Krine, the Valentine family was the most powerful family. Beau was the most terrifying emperor in the Valentine family. How powerful and how mysterious was he? If it wasnât for the fact that he took the initiative to expose his marriage with Eliza, there were 99% of people in Krine who wouldnât know what this man looked like! After a long time, someone in the crowd said in a trembling voice, âPlease rest assured, Mr. Valentine. No⦠no one will tell anyone what happened tonight.â As soon as he said this, the whole room was filled with promises.
At the end of the corridor, the window was open. The cold night wind came in through the window. Gloria looked at Beau downstairs, who was getting into the car with Eliza in his arms. She smiled slightly and said, âMr. Benton, see how loving are they.â âWith your appearance and family background, you can easily get any woman you want. Why do you have to compete with Mr. Valentine?â
