Edward did not even look at him, "Can't I go to the bathroom?" Elliot stood up to intercept him, "I'll come with you." Edward raised his gaze to glare at him, "Do I need your company? Are we that close?" Elliot echoed, "Indeed, we're not that close. It's better for you not to go to the bathroom either." Edward pushed him away, "Do you have any right to control me? Who do you think you are?" Elliot dodged aside, his voice slightly cold, "Are you trying to call someone?" Edward's face was full of embarrassment from being caught off guard. He was getting frustrated, "Who am I calling? Elliot, stop falsely accusing me." Elliot approached him, "Accusing you? Aaron and Andy are under your command. They sneaked into the parking lot, tampered with the surveillance deliberately. This proves that they are the ones who planted the bomb in Edmund’s car. The evidence is all here. Am I not more justified in accusing you than you falsely accusing me? Ethan just sent people to cat
They replied, "We don't know what's going on either."Elliot, in deep distress, grabbed the collar of one of the men and interrogated, "Who told you to say that? Was it Edward? He wants to frame me and shift the blame onto me. You are Edward's men, and Edmund is his own brother, naturally no one would suspect him. I invited Edmund, and he was the one targeted with a bomb at the hotel where I invited him“Naturally, everyone would suspect me. It's really killing two birds with one stone. If it weren't for the surveillance footage, I wouldn't be able to explain myself no matter how hard I tried. You'd better tell me honestly what's going on."Sitting at the conference table, Sophia rested her chin on her hand, pretending to be puzzled, but in fact, she was relaxed and calm.She thought if Elliot entered the entertainment industry, he would effortlessly win an Oscar. Both his looks and acting skills were top-notch.Look at the confusion, disbelief, grievance, heartbreak, anger, escal
Ethan sighed, "I know this matter has indeed wronged you, but you and your younger siblings are fine. Edmund also brought this upon himself. We went to question you without investigating the truth clearly. I apologize to you."Elliot deeply said, "Ethan, I didn't say it was you. As the head of the family, it's natural for you to ask questions."Ethan turned to Edward and said, "Apologize to Elliot."Edward stiffened and remained silent.Ethan slammed the table, "Do you want me to send you in myself?"Edward glanced at Elliot with a slanted eye and reluctantly muttered, "I'm sorry."Elliot glanced at him without saying anything and slowly sat down.Ethan said to Edward, "Stay home and reflect on your actions. Also, manage your people well. If I see your people causing trouble again, I'll assume it's at your instruction! Do you understand?"Edward grudgingly replied, "I understand."Ethan then looked at Jordan and Janine. "Take good care of Edmund."They both nodded.Janine co
Sophia smiled mischievously at him, "From me, of course."Hamish said, “You're too skinny. I can't fit into your clothes."Elliot said calmly, "I'll have someone buy them for you.""Elliot!" Hamish became anxious. "You're hopeless. Can't you stop making trouble at this time?"Elliot chuckled. "You can't escape this livestream no matter when it happens. It might as well be today. At least Chase will be there to accompany you."Chase's face darkened as he hurriedly refused. "I didn't bet with you. Don't drag me into this."Hamish felt that it would be less awkward if Chase were there. He raised his eyebrows at him. "Come on, you're an actor, so it's normal for you to play anything."Chase retorted sharply, "What's normal? I still have my dignity. What would my fans think if they saw a popular idol like me doing this?"Hamish continued to coax him. "Isn't that perfect? You can transition from being an idol to a serious actor in this livestream.""Get lost! Stop pushing me! I'm
Elliot carried Sophia all the way into the third-floor bedroom. He put her on the bed, changed her into pajamas, smoothed her hair, kissed her, and murmured to himself, "Sophy... perhaps, we have a deeper connection." Elliot went downstairs ten minutes later. By this time, Samuel had already bought the women's clothing, so he asked him to put it aside. It was impossible not to do the livestream, but they didn't have to do it tonight. Sophia was already asleep, and he did not want to wake her up. Hamish looked at the two men on the floor, feeling that the atmosphere was somewhat strange. "What's wrong with you guys?" Chase looked at Elliot. "Does Sophia behave like this every time she gets drunk?" Elliot replied, "Yes, her alcohol tolerance is pretty low. She becomes clingy when she drinks too much, but she won't remember it the next day." Chase's fingers trembled, and he asked again, "What did Gilbert mean at the funeral when he said she wasn't a member of the Shaw family?"
Chase finally understood. "Okay, I get it. I'll tell my parents not to be so pushy with her."Elliot added, "And don't all come rushing over to see her at once. She'll figure it out!"Chase smiled. "I know. Now I'm the person closest to Christine. It really feels like destiny. Sophia even once saved my mom. At that time, the first thing my mom said was my sister's name. She got it right all along."He became more excited as he spoke, "Although I already believe she's my sister, I still want to do a paternity test, just in case. My mom can't bear any more false hopes."Elliot replied, "I'll arrange the DNA test for Sophia."Chase continued, "I'll handle it with my parents."Elliot stood up. "Let's do the livestream another day."Hamish smirked. "Why postpone it? Once we miss this opportunity, it may never come again."Before Elliot could respond, Chase climbed onto his shoulder, saying, "Willing to admit defeat, huh? Besides, with me accompanying you, what are you afraid of?"H
Elliot smiled lightly. "You're awake? How do you feel?"Edmund pointed at him. "You did this!"Elliot sneered coldly, "I haven't even held you accountable, yet you suspect me. The day you were injured, the Patton family held a family meeting, and the culprits, Aaron and Andy, have been found. They are Edward’s subordinates. Although they claimed you instructed them to plant the bomb on my car, my car was fine, and I was fine. Either they installed it incorrectly, mistaking your car for mine, or they deliberately did so because they are Edward’s men.“I suspect he wanted to eliminate both of us together. But I have no evidence, so I can only assume it was you who wanted to kill me. And because those two clumsy lackeys mistook your car for mine, you ended up like this. It has nothing to do with me!"Edmund's temples bulged with anger as he pointed at him. "You knew I would scheme against you, so you schemed against me."Elliot chuckled. "Heh! You really overestimate me. Even if I co
Jordan sighed helplessly. "You are my son, how could I ever despise you?"Edmund was stunned for a moment. He looked at himself wrapped in bandages all over, suddenly overwhelmed with sadness. "I'm not even as good as him. I've lost my legs and I may not even recover. I can't walk, can't drive, I can't even go to the bathroom by myself. I must rely on a wheelchair to go anywhere. What's the point of living like this? It's better to just die and be done with it. Why did you save me?"He shouted while tearing at the bandages and tubes attached to him.Jordan anxiously comforted him. "Son, calm down. I know it's hard for you to accept this, but everything will be okay. As long as you're alive, everything will be okay."Edmund was devastated, his eyes red with tears. "No, it won't be okay. Elliot will retaliate against me for all the ridicule and mockery I've made him endure over the years!"Jordan held him down, tears streaming down his face. In an instant, they seemed to age several
