Chapter 313

This was the solution that Eliana had come up with last night. It was her ultimate counterattack against

those evildoers plotting against her behind the scenes.

Before entering the Civil Affairs Bureau, she had posted online on her behalf that she would unveil the

truth to the world via a live stream. Sure enough, a large number of netizens rushed into the direct

broadcasting room, eager for the surprises that were in store.

When all eyes were finally on her, Eliana carried out her elaborate act. She was both the director and

actress in this big play.

At first, she pretended to be heartbroken and let Erica think her wicked plot had succeeded. Then she

manipulated Erica to unwittingly tell the truth and prove her innocence.

As time went on, the number of viewers in attendance continued to soar high.

To everyone’s surprise, Eli and Nicole also joined the audience, which immediately attracted a lot of

attention. The presence of the country’s two biggest stars generated a surge of viewers in Eliana’s

direct broadcasting room, breaking records in an instant and becoming the top search topic in the

entire region.

“You sly bitch! I can’t believe you’re streaming our conversation on the internet!”

Seeing her face on the live video on the phone’s screen, Erica felt her brain was about to explode. The

nasty and unfavorable comments posted by the netizens completely overwhelmed her, driving her into

a raging frenzy.

No matter how defeated Eliana seemed in the beginning, the viewers immediately dismissed it and

began to turn on Erica. They had heard all her lies, cruelty, and thirst for revenge. She had exposed

herself for the horrible bully she truly was. Suddenly, the direct broadcasting room was immediately in

an uproar.

“Oh my goodness! After going through a web of malice and deception, this matter has been reversed.

It’s so dramatic. What a turnaround!”

“Eliana is a brilliant woman! She is calm, brave, and smart. It’s amazing how she thought of a way to

prove her innocence. Such a remarkable performance!”

“Oh, jeez. It turns out that she had been wronged after all. I feel guilty for judging her hastily.”

“I made the mistake of doubting her as well. I apologize for all my inappropriate comments. I hope

Eliana can forgive me.”

“I’m terribly sorry!”

“Me too.”

“Hey, wait a minute. Didn’t you notice they are in the office of the Civil Affairs Bureau? What do you

think the mysterious manipulator behind the scenes really wants?”

Seeing that her goal had finally been achieved, Eliana smiled triumphantly and stopped the live

streaming.

She didn’t show her face from the beginning to the end, and only her voice was heard by the masses.

“Eliana, you little bitch! Aren’t you afraid I will tell the public that you slept with a gigolo and then gave

birth to his two bastards?”

Wearing a ferocious expression, Erica bared her teeth and was about to pounce on Eliana. It seemed

she had lost her mind and was now utterly desperate to take her rival down.

But at the very last second, Erica’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

“Is this Erica? We have your husband. Asher will suffer grave consequences if you do not stop making

trouble.”

A wicked sneer slowly formed on Erica’s face. “It doesn’t matter if you hurt him. I couldn’t care less.”

She had previously broken up with Asher. The two former lovers didn’t have any feelings left for each

other at all.

Erica was about to hang up the phone when a child’s frightened voice came from the other end of the

line.

It was Ivy. She had also been captured.

In the blink of an eye, Erica lost her composure and became anxious.

“What do you want from me? Give my child back! If you hurt her, there will be hell to pay. Do you hear

me?”

The man on the other end of the line didn’t answer but hung up the phone instead.

Who on earth was behind this kidnapping?

Erica’s mind was all over the place. She was so blinded by rage that she immediately targeted Eliana,

who stood in front of her.

The innocent-looking woman was Erica’s prime suspect. After all, she was her nemesis.

“Eliana, you will regret this. Kidnapping is illegal! Tell your men to release my husband and child

immediately!”

What was Erica talking about? What kidnapping?

Eliana was dumbfounded by Erica’s baseless accusation.

She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the lunatic in surprise. “I only arranged the live streaming. I

didn’t order anyone to kidnap your husband and child. That’s the truth whether you believe it or not.”

Eliana was a person of honor and principle. She wouldn’t stoop so low as to involve Erica’s innocent

family.

But Erica only shook her head in disbelief and jabbed her finger at Eliana’s face. “You are lying! If it

truly wasn’t you, then who else would do such a despicable act?”

“It wasn’t her because I’m responsible for the kidnapping.”

A loud and familiar voice echoed from across the room. When Erica and Eliana turned their heads, the

dashing Maurice came into view. He walked towards them with a group of people behind him.
