Chapter 219

“Preston! Is this a new way to tease me?” Eliana asked, annoyed. “Look, it’s not funny at all. Let go of

me now!”

‘There is something strange about this woman. Is she not right in the head?’ the man thought.

“What are you talking about? Who’s Preston?” he asked, clearly puzzled.

Eliana immediately realized that something was amiss. Confused, she asked tentatively, “Umm, aren’t

you Preston?”

“Huh? My name’s Eli. I don’t know who Preston is. And you… Don’t you know who I am?” Eli seemed

more surprised at the fact that there was someone who genuinely didn’t recognize him.

“Sorry, I don’t know you,” Eliana admitted honestly.

“I’m Eli! Eli Goodwin? Doesn’t that ring a bell? Look carefully. How can you not recognize this face?” Eli

neared Eliana, determined to get as close to her as possible as he showed her his handsome face.

Eliana stared at his facial features. She realized he looked just like Preston, except that he was paler

and thinner than Preston.

Despite the startling resemblance, Eli insisted that he wasn’t Preston.

“I’m sorry. I really don’t know you,” Eliana repeated.

Unbeknownst to her, her honesty stung Eli deeply. He was now a popular star, with posters displaying

his face practically everywhere. Plus, he had a lot of fans. Was this woman living on Mars? Didn’t she

surf the Internet at all?

“Excuse me, Mr. Goodwin, but please let go of me first,” Eliana grumbled, shaking off Eli’s hand.

Unwilling to give up, Eli insisted, “If you don’t know me, why are you following me?”

“I didn’t follow you. I just happened to mistake you for someone else.”

Eli was doubtful. He raised his eyebrows and asked again, “You mean, the man called Preston? I don’t

believe you. I bet you’re just looking for an excuse to get close to me.”

Eliana rolled her eyes. “I said I’ve made a mistake, didn’t I? If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you.”

Having said that, she immediately took out her phone and dialed Preston.

Meanwhile, Maurice was in his office when his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that Eliana was calling

Preston, he was slightly unhappy.

She had hung up on him without reservations just moments ago, and now, she was calling Preston. Did

she really prefer the gigolo?

Damn it! Maurice was seething. Why was he jealous of himself again? This was ridiculous.

Maurice picked up the call, in a bad mood.

“Hey, Preston. Where are you?”

Maurice casually made a lie on the spot. “I’m in the club. Why, something wrong?”

“I just want to make a video call with you,” Eliana said.

A video call? Maurice was curious. What did she want this time?

Before Maurice could answer, Eliana hung up and sent him a video call request.

Maurice was speechless. Quickly, he put on his mask and went to a corner before picking up the video

call.

On Eliana’s side, Preston’s handsome, deeply-lined face appeared on her phone screen.

She was delighted to see him. Preston answered her call!

Still, why did his background seem a little strange?

She frowned and stared at Preston in the video, squinting her eyes. Rather than a club, Preston

seemed to be in Maurice’s office, of all places.

“What are you doing? You’re calling me, but you’re not saying anything.” Maurice grew slightly

impatient when Eliana remained silent for a long time.

Eliana pushed aside her suspicions and she picked up her phone to get a good look at Preston’s face.

She then turned to look at Eli, who was standing next to her.

Their likeness was incredible! No wonder she confused Eli with Preston.

“Look at him! I didn’t lie to you, did I?”

She hurriedly showed her phone to Eli. The two men stood face to face, eyes on one another.

“Oh my god… You’re right! Who is this man?”

“Who are you?”

Preston and Eli spoke at the same time. Oddly enough, even their shocked expressions were very

similar.

Eli, rather startled, blurted out, “Is… Is he the man you called Preston?”

Eliana nodded.

Eli was astonished. “We really do look alike!”

If Eli hadn’t confirmed that he really was the only son in his family, he would probably think he had a

twin brother who went missing for many years.

Would wonders never cease?

While Eli was having the shock of his life, Maurice was just as stunned.

Preston’s face was fake, but he had specifically customized the mask. It should be completely unique;

one of a kind. There shouldn’t be a man who looked like the mask in this world.

Yet, why did the man on the screen look so much like Preston’s fake face?
