Chapter 305

“You are lying. He is not the gigolo that I remember. Stop with this nonsense and leave me alone.”

With a disgruntled face, Eliana strongly rejected the weird man presented to her by Erica.

The stranger’s ugly appearance was a stark contrast to the good looks of Aileen and Adrian. How could

the three of them be related?

“Erica, I don’t know how you convinced this man to pretend to be the gigolo back then. But I’m telling

you, there’s not a chance in the world that I’ll marry him.”

“You’re one stubborn woman, aren’t you? It seems that you won’t admit to anything until you see any

evidence. Sam, go ahead and tell her who you are.”

Erica smirked confidently. How could the person she had personally chosen be wrong?

The strange man named Sam took a few steps toward Eliana and glanced at her from head to toe.

With an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were filled with lust.

“Miss, I remember meeting you like it was only yesterday. After all, all my clients over the years are

mostly rich middle-aged women. It was my first time having a young and beautiful customer like you

five years ago. I couldn’t believe my luck. You were so alluring that I was more than willing to sleep with

you even if I didn’t get paid. We had a blissful and passionate time that memorable night. Why don’t

you just come clean and admit it to us now?”

After speaking his words, Sam licked his lips erotically as if he was having flashbacks of their fiery

sexual encounter.

Seeing him like this, Eliana felt sick to her stomach.

“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Stop spreading lies and stay away from me!”

Eliana immediately backed away, repulsed by Sam’s undisguised desire for her.

Even under the constant pressure and witness testimony, this bitch was still playing tricks.

Erica sneered at Eliana’s argument. Her patience was running dangerously thin.

“Eliana, stop denying the truth. I know it’s difficult to admit it, but here I am, trying to make things easier

for you. I’m even kind enough to find a father for your two little bastards. To further sweeten the deal, I

can also give you a generous sum of money to take care of your living expenses. If you were smart,

you’d better grab this offer and live abroad with your gigolo husband. Don’t let me see you again.”

How despicable! Erica had called her children bastards again.

The insult finally pushed Eliana over the edge. Her children were her whole world. No one was allowed

to hurt them, not even through words.

The expression on Eliana’s face became calmness in a snap. She suddenly rushed forward and

slapped Erica in the face with all her might.

The severe blow sent a loud and sharp echo across the area.

“Eliana, how dare you hit me?”

Clearly wincing in pain, Erica was shocked by Eliana’s actions.

“You had it coming! Respect my children, or I’ll slap you again.”

Consumed by her anger, Eliana raised her hand fiercely, ready to strike once more.

Erica didn’t expect Eliana to hit so hard, so she dodged in fear of getting hurt again.

Because of her sudden movement, a black object slipped out of Erica’s ear and fell to the floor. Eliana’s

eyes suddenly lit up.

‘Damn it!’

Erica’s face changed dramatically. With a worried expression, she immediately squatted down to pick

the thing up.

To her dismay, Eliana acted quicker and beat her to it.

‘Wait a second. Erica had been wearing a Bluetooth headset all this time?’

In an instant, Eliana’s questions had finally been answered.

She now understood everything.

No wonder something felt amiss.

Erica despised her very much. If she had a chance, she would kill her without hesitation. How could

she come up with such a complex plan to force her to get married and give her a sum of money to live

abroad?

It turned out there was a cunning manipulator behind the scenes who instructed Erica to get close to

her.

“Give that back to me right now, Eliana!”

Seeing the Bluetooth headset was in the hand of her enemy, Erica hurriedly tried to take it back.

But it was too late.

Eliana had already put the Bluetooth headset on her ear.

It was now her chance to finally discover the identity of the mysterious manipulator behind the scenes.

“Erica, why are you not speaking? Are you still there?”

It was a woman on the other end of the line. Eliana’s jaw dropped in shock.

Her voice sounded vaguely familiar. It was the same voice of the woman who had sent someone to

follow Eliana and the children last time. And she had heard the voice somewhere.

Without a doubt, Eliana knew she was now closer than ever to finding out the truth.

As long as the woman spoke a few more words, Eliana would definitely recognize her.

Holding her breath, she waited for the woman to say something.

But it seemed that the woman on the other end of the line sensed something was wrong and quickly

hung up the call.

‘No! I almost had her.’

Taking off the Bluetooth headset, Eliana questioned Erica loudly, “Is the woman on the call responsible

for this deal? I assume she ordered you to come here and confront me.”

A trace of guilt flashed across Erica’s eyes. Eliana had her trapped.

“Of course not! No one tells me what to do. I came up with the idea myself.”

As expected, Erica would never reveal the truth. She was not stupid. Once the fact was exposed, she

would suffer greatly. Aside from the money, there was so much more at stake here. She could not

afford to fail.

Eliana gritted her teeth in frustration. She had thought that Harriet was already a tough nut to crack. But

then she met Erica.

Because the sly woman was still unwilling to divulge any useful information, things suddenly seemed

hopeless for Eliana.

She tightly clenched the Bluetooth headset in her hand and trembled with anger.

Seeing that Eliana was at her wit’s end, Erica regained her arrogance and sneered, “I’m such a

gracious person that I’ll give you enough time to think about my offer. Be at the Civil Affairs Bureau in

the morning the day after tomorrow with your decision. If you don’t show up, I will announce to the

whole world that you are not only a shameful mistress but also have two children with a gigolo. Let’s

see how you will deal with the consequences then. It sucks to be you, doesn’t it?”
