Chapter 576

The interview was posted online by the journalist, and the video immediately went viral.

News of Violette swindling Elijah out of a whopping ten billion had been a hot topic a little while ago. And now, Violette was addressing this publicly for the first time. Shocking as it was, she had indeed swindled Elijah out of ten billion, and Elijah didn’t sue her or seek recompense.

Incredible! Was Elijah really that easy to trick?

At the Bourne Group.

Elijah had just wrapped up a meeting and returned to his office when he unlocked his phone to find a slew of new messages. Every single message contained the same video clip. Frowning, he clicked on one.

"Ms. Dennis, we heard that you swindled Elijah out of 10 billion dollars, is this true?"

"Yes, it's true."

"Ms. Dennis, you must be joking? If it's true, why hasn't he sued you?"

"Because Mr. Bourne is incredibly wealthy. 10 billion dollars is nothing to him. If any of you want to get rich, go swindle him. He's very easy to deceive."

Elijah’s face darkened instantly. If he hadn’t seen her face in the video and heard her voice with his own ears, he wouldn’t have believed it.

The office door was pushed open, and Brandon walked in, grinning. "Elijah, have you seen the video? Ha-ha! Did you upset her?"

Elijah put down his phone and took a sip from his water glass. "She looks well," Brandon noted as he neared him. "Have you guys not met since she returned home?"

They hadn’t, but they certainly had argued.

"Do you want to see her?" Brandon asked. "If you do, I could arrange."

"No." Elijah set his glass down. "Every time we meet, either she gets mad, or I do. She’s pregnant now; I don’t want to upset her."

He also didn’t want to be upset by her, so it was best they didn’t meet.

"Can’t you two communicate properly?" Brandon sighed. "Do it for the kids. You can’t let the child be born fatherless."

Elijah: "She doesn’t want me to be the father of her child."

Brandon: "So be more assertive. You can’t always yield to her."

Elijah glanced at Brandon: "She already can’t accept me when I am not assertive. If I am, she would want to cut all ties with me."

Brandon: "You can’t just ignore her completely. In a month or two, her belly will start to show. People will undoubtedly speculate about the father’s identity."

Elijah: "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I have enough on my plate right now."

Brandon: "Ha-ha! She indeed can be quite a handful. But it’s her uniqueness that makes it hard for you to let her go."

Outside the office, Melinda listened to their conversation, her face ashen. Elijah admitted he couldn’t let Violette go and would take responsibility for her and the baby when her belly starts showing.

Humph! What if Violette’s belly didn’t show?

Though Melinda dared not hurt Violette directly, she could indirectly cause her to miscarry. The stress of a pregnant woman can greatly affect the fetus.

...

After attending the summit, Violette, guarded by her bodyguard, left the hotel. Her phone rang suddenly, and she picked it up.

Whatever was said on the other end brought a smile to her face, and she hung up. Her bodyguard asked in confusion, "Boss, who was that? Why didn’t you say anything?"

Violette put her phone in her bag: "You’ll find out soon enough."

Once in the car, Violette named a restaurant. Her bodyguard started the car, speculating, "Did Elijah ask you out?"

The mere mention of his name caused Violette’s smile to falter: "Why bring him up all of a sudden? Do you think I’d be this happy if he asked me out?"

Her bodyguard clammed up.
