Chapter 1751Hearing the familiar male voice, Vivian looked at Elliot with tears in her eyes. "Mr. Vesley..."She hurriedly wiped her tears and forced a faint smile."Don't lie to me." Elliot grabbed Vivian's wrist, his brows knitted tighter. "Why are you crying?""I..." Vivian replied with a pinched smile. "It's just that something got in my eye. I'm fine."Elliot's sullen eyes were locked on Vivian. "The moment you saved me, I said I wouldn't let anyone bully you. What's going on?"Vivian was secretly pleased, but she bit her lower lip."Don't be like this. It is a birthday party. It was hard for me to get a chance to come and see the world. I don't want to cause any trouble... You said that there were whales and puffer fish around this island, didn't you? Why don't we go and see...""Did Mr. Atherton bully you?" Elliot resolutely interrupted her.Vivian's face changed slightly, and she hastily waved her hand. "It's not him! He didn't bully me. It's his wife who just..."Th
Chapter 1752Suddenly, Shelby's cell phone screen lit up with a text message from a strange number."Come out. I'm waiting for you on the yacht."That commanding tone wouldn't belong to anyone but Elliot."Shelby, is someone looking for you?" Director Freddie asked with concern as he saw Shelby staring blankly at the text message.Although Shelby used capital to become a cast member, she was very trainable and more talented than Jaden, so Director Freddie thought highly of her.Shelby deleted the message casually. "Just a spam."The two chatted for a while. Shelby was intoxicated and intended to go to the bathroom to sober up. Just when she moved toward the bathroom, a figure suddenly sprang out of the darkness. Before she could react, she was dragged to the garden at the back of the villa.Shelby staggered, subconsciously calling for help. Abruptly, she was fiercely pushed against a stone. Her back ached so much that her face turned pale. She secretly took her cell phone and d
Chapter 1753"Keep your friend away from her, or I'll make your dad suffer even more. Do you hear me?" Elliot warned Shelby coldly.Shelby guessed things had started because of Vivian.But based on Shelby's understanding of Joanna, she wouldn't give someone a hard time for no reason. There must be something else going on. Shelby really didn't want to get entangled with Elliot, so she tried to push him away.Shelby struggled unconsciously, but it made them get closer together.Elliot's pupils shrunk. He grabbed Shelby's slender neck. "Do you want to seduce me?"Shelby couldn't help but shiver, especially when her neck was being held like this.Upon meeting Elliot's cruel eyes, she felt a chill all over her. She hated this feeling so much."Seduce you? You're the last man I will seduce. You are a demon who put my father in the hospital. Elliot, get off me! I have nothing more to say to you...""Demon? Then I'll show you how a real demon will screw your family." Elliot was enrage
Chapter 1754‘Elliot is so shameless. I will ask Edwin why he has made a friend with Elliot.’Elliot unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, exposed his delicate collarbones, and sneered, “I was wondering who the meddlesome woman was. It turns out that it’s you, Ms. Walters. You’d better not interfere in the matter of Shelby and me. It’s none of your business.”Edwin invited Elliot to attend his wife’s birthday party, but Elliot called Joanne Ms. Walters instead of Mrs. Atherton.Elliot did so to mock Joanne.Joanne replied to Elliot calmly, “Indeed, it would be none of my business if you weren’t on the island. However, you’re on my island and can’t run riot here.”“So you admit that you made things difficult for Vivian.” Elliot narrowed his eyes and stood in the face of Joanne.Joanne frowned. ‘I just didn’t take Vivian’s name card. How could Elliot say that I made things difficult for Vivian?’Joanne pulled a long face. “Vivian is nobody in my eyes. I don’t bother to pay any att
Chapter 1755Under Edwin’s sullen and cold gaze, Vivian panicked and almost couldn’t breathe.‘I shouldn’t have followed Elliot to come here!’She had no choice but to tell Elliot the whole story, “When I met Mrs. Atherton by chance, I would like to make a friend with her and handed my name card to her, but she didn’t take it, so I felt disappointed.”Joanne asked, “Is that all? Did I do anything else to you?”Vivian held back her tears and apologized to Joanne, “That’s all. You didn’t do anything else. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to cause misunderstanding. It’s all my fault that I didn’t clearly explain it to Mr. Vesley. Mrs. Atherton, please forgive me.”Elliot frowned tightly. He didn’t have the heart to see Vivian apologize to Joanne.However, before Elliot said anything, Joanne added, “It’s strange. Isn’t it said that Mr. Vesley is a young upstart in business? Why are you so illogical? I just didn’t take your lover’s name card, but you think that I bullied her. You didn’t call
Chapter 1756Elliot’s handsome face clouded over. He looked at Joanne and sneered, “Ms. Walters, fine, you win. Edwin has been my friend for many years, but you sow disorder between Edwin and me with a few words. No wonder Vivian doesn’t have the guts to tell me how you bullied her.”Joanne was stuck for words. ‘What I said is all the truth. How can Elliot say that I sow disorder between Edwin and him?‘It’s Vivian who sows disorder between them.’Suddenly, Edwin sneered, “Humph...”Edwin became serious and aloof.“Elliot, don’t slander my wife. She’s reluctant to see you now. Leave here with your lover!”‘Edwin is asking me to leave here seriously?’Elliot narrowed his eyes.Vivian was also surprised.‘Edwin and Elliot were acquainted with each other when they studied abroad. They have been friends for many years, but now Edwin asks Elliot to leave just because of Joanna?‘How has Joanna bewitched Edwin?’Elliot stood there dumbfounded. After a while, he said angrily, “A
Chapter 1757Benjamin said to Joanne, “It’s strange that Elliot was so unreasonable and impulsive. After he calms down, he will realize that he’s wrong. At that time, I will take him to apologize to you. Please don’t refuse.”But Joanne shook her head. “No. Please don’t take him to see me.”Hearing that, Benjamin frowned and asked, “Are you unwilling to forgive him?”Joanne shook her index finger. “It’s not like that. I just think it’s unnecessary. Besides, I dislike his female partner.”Although Joanne said so to Benjamin, she still apologized to Edwin in private.Edwin looked at Joanne.“What do you want to say?”“Elliot is your good friend, but you broke with him because of me. If the news is spread, it will tarnish your reputation...”Edwin interrupted Joanne and raised her chin with his slender finger.“Tell me. Did Vivian piss you off before?” ‘If there were no inside stories, Joanne wouldn’t have refused Vivian’s name card for no reason. Especially, Vivian was my fri
Chapter 1758Edwin rolled his eyes and grimaced, "Cedrick, you should pay more attention to Catelyn. Give her something to do. Otherwise, she just gossips all day. She's not the simple, sweet girl she used to be." Cedrick snorted, "You should, too." Joanne felt annoyed being drawn into their fight. 'It's my birthday. Can't they make peace for my sake?' "Okay, Edwin, I'm not going to argue with you. I want to ask you something." Catelyn suddenly became serious. The playful smile on her face immediately disappeared. Seeing the grave look on Catelyn's face, Edwin realized it was something important. "What is it?" "I heard that your people found a mine outside a village in Enigma Hollow a few days ago and that you sent people to guard the mine. Is it true?" Catelyn inquired.Edwin nodded.It was a coincidence. He sent people to look for birthday gifts for Joanne. Unexpectedly, his people found that mine in Enigma Hollow. Currently, they were exploring that mine.
