âYou must be joking, Mr. Benton.â Eliza coughed awkwardly. âYou are an outstanding person. There are countless women in the city who want to marry youâ¦â âBut I took a fancy to someone elseâs wife.â 2 Julian curled his lips. âI believe that one day, I will be able to take away his wife.â After that, he gracefully walked out of the door. When he walked to Eliza, he seemed to think of something and looked at her. âBy the way, I remember telling you about my fiancee.â Eliza quickly nodded. âYes, yes, yes, you did.â âMr.
Benton, you have a fianceeâ¦â âI plan to go back and annul the engagement after the filming.â With this, he raised his hand and patted Elizaâs shoulder. âLittle Eliza, wait for me.â Eliza, ââ¦â She looked at his back with a dull look, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. If she hadnât met Beau, perhaps her heart would have raced when she heard Julianâs words. But she was already Beauâs wife. His words only made her feel helpless. Sighing, she got up and went downstairs, planning to go back to her room. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she ran into Joye, who was on the phone. âAre you going to visit her in the cemetery?â âWell, I almost forgot that itâs her birthday today. Mr. Valentineâs memory is really impressiveâ¦â As she spoke, she went into the elevator. âYou are going with Mr. Valentine.â Before she could finish her words, she saw Eliza. Joye immediately fell silent and put down the phone. She smiled gently and greeted Eliza, âI thought you wouldnât come back to the hotel.â âMr. Valentine is really nice to you.â Eliza lightly nodded. âHeâs very nice to me.â She glanced coldly at Joyeâs phone as she spoke. Her mobile phone was in her hand. The screen was still lit with a call, and the person who was talking to her was actually Lucija. Eliza was a bit surprised, but upon thinking about it, she felt that it was understandable. After all, Joye had been targeting her since she joined the crew. It seemed the way Joye and Gloria used to go against her was different from how Lucija used Esme to frame her, but they were all of the same purposes. These two were besties. She was not surprised. âYes, Mr. Valentine is very good to his woman.â Joye sighed lightly. âI remember that he treated Chasity even better last time.â With this, she looked up at Elizaâs face and said, âYou should know Chasity, right?â âChasity was a classmate of mine and Lucija. She got drunk that year and accidentally entered the wrong room. Then she slept with Mr. Valentine.â âLater on, she got pregnant with a twin. Although Mr. Valentine didnât take care of her in person, he treated her very well during those daysâ¦â âUnfortunately, Chasity died after giving birth to two children.â Joye sighed. âOtherwise, how could she let the other woman be the mother of the two children. Donât you think so?â Eliza frowned slightly and did not say anything. Joye pretended to slap herself in annoyance. âIâm sorry, I shouldnât have said this in front of you.â Her feigned appearance made Eliza couldnât help but curl her lips. She looked at Joye indifferently. âSay what you want to say. Donât beat around the bush. I feel tired for you.â After that, she sized Joye up. âIsnât your intention the same as Lucija, trying to tell me that I am that womanâs substitute?â âThatâs enough. I got it.â After that, she turned and strode away. âD*mn it!â Lucija, who had yet to hang up the call, could not help but curse over the phone, âWhy is Eliza so arrogant? F*ck!â Joye indifferently curled her lips and looked at Elizaâs back.
âTake it easy, Lucija.â âHow long has she known Beau? Is she very sure that Beauâs feelings for her are irreplaceable?â âI donât care!â On the other end of the line, Lucija was exasperated. âJoye, help me!â If Eliza wasnât Braint and Demarionâs mother and was just an ordinary woman, Lucija wouldnât be so nervous. But Eliza was the birth mother of Braint and Demarion. As long as she stayed by Beauâs side, it would be easier for her relationship with the children to be exposed. Beau had always felt guilty towards the childrenâs mother. Once he knew that Eliza was their mother, she would have no way out!
Thinking of this, Lucija grabbed the phone in her hand silently. âJoye, you have to help me.â âEven if it is against the law, I will drive Eliza away from Beau!â âYou are really crazy.â Joye slightly hooked her lips and said, âDonât worry, I will help you.â If she had helped Lucija just to suppress Eliza, then now, she had an even more important reason⦠âI believe that one day, I can take away his wife.â She heard what Julian had just said to Eliza upstairs. Joye clenched her fists by her side silently. She had liked Julian for many years. Since he had just become famous, she wanted to chase him step by step to his side. She spent two years in the entertainment circle. Now, she finally had the opportunity to work in the same crew with Julian. He was the male lead, and she was the third female lead. Although they did not have a scene together, she was also happy that her relationship with Julian had gone further. But Eliza⦠Joye narrowed her eyes slightly. Wasnât her wish the same as Lucijaâs? They both wanted her to disappear.
After returning to her room, Eliza closed the door and fell asleep on the bed. When she woke up again, it was already completely dark. She took out her phone and looked at the time. It was already past eight oâclock in the evening. She yawned and got up to clean herself up. Then, she went downstairs to buy some food. As soon as she went out, she met Julian who hurried upstairs. Julian was wearing sunglasses and mask, fully armed. Seeing her drowsy eyes, he chuckled and took off his mask. âAre you going downstairs to buy something to eat?â Eliza nodded, âYes.â âThere are a lot of reporters downstairs.
Donât go.â Julian opened his door generously. âI have food here. Do you want to eat with me?â Eliza paused, a bit hesitant. It was already dark. It would be inappropriate for her to eat in his room. Julian seemed to have seen through her hesitation and smiled. âGo in and watch TV and wait. Iâll call Gloria and the others over.â Hearing him say this, Eliza was relieved and walked into the room. It was not that she did not believe in Julianâs character, but it was hard to guess peopleâs thoughts. But if Gloria and the others came, it would be different. It was normal for the crew to have dinner together. She did not close the door. She walked straight into Julianâs room and sat down on the sofa. She picked up the remote control and planned to look for a drama to watch. âThis afternoon, the actress Joye and her best friend Lucija went to the cemetery to mourn their classmate.â Joyeâs news was on TV. On the TV, Joye was telling Chasityâs story softly on the microphone. âShe had a hard life. After giving birth to a twin, she passed away. Now her sons call another woman mommy every day. I donât know if she feels sad when she hears thatâ¦â Eliza frowned. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw an arm gently patting Lucijaâs shoulder.
That armâ¦
The familiar sleeves and cufflinks burned Elizaâs eyes. âThe people who came to pay their respects to her today were all those who once cared about her the most.â Joye was still talking to the microphone tearfully. âAlthough she is dead, there will always be someone in the world who remembers her and regards her as the most important person.â. Elizaâs hand that was holding the remote control froze slightly. Regards her as the most important person? âThe people who came to pay their respects to her today were all those who once cared about her the most.â Joye was still talking to the microphone tearfully. âAlthough she is dead, there will always be someone in the world who remembers her and regards her as the most important person.â Elizaâs hand that was holding the remote control froze slightly.
