Chapter 36 Spoilsport +25 Bonus âB*tch! You seductress!â Eloise was livid.
âHow dare she seduce Treyton in front of me, his rightful fiancée?â she fumed inwardly.
Eloise had come to Fairlake from Salinsburgh, all for Treytonâs sake.
In order to get engaged to him.
she had spent a great deal of effort.
All the women in the world could never hope to match the love she harbored for him.
However, Treyton constantly refused to meet her.
He made Elisha turn her down with all sorts of perfunctory excuses.
Currently, he had said that he was busy.
So, he was busy because he was having a meal with that woman? The more Eloise thought about it, the angrier she got Her expression underneath her exquisite.
makeup turned malicious.
Glaring at Gwendolyn hatefully, she raised her hand and tried to slap the latter across the face.
Gwendolyn did not make an attempt to dodge.
She sat there, unmoving.
However, before Eloise could harm a hair on Gwendolynâs head, someone caught ahold of her hand.
Elisha held onto Eloiseâs wrist tightly, his tone was sten as he reminded her, âMs. Ferguson, weâre at Angle at the moment.
Itâs not right to hit others.
Please show some self-respect.
â Although Eloise wanted to wrench her hand away, her strength was no match for Elishaâs.
Enraged, Eloise cried, âLet go! I am going to slap this shameless woman! If you try to stop me.
Iâll hit you as well!â Elishaâs face immediately darkened, but still, he did not loosen his grip.
âMs. Ferguson, Mr. Harris is inside.
Do you wish to kick up a fuss and force him to come out and see your outrageous behavior?â
Outrageous? Iâm from the Ferguson family, and I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
How can I bear to wreck my image in front of Treyton? Elisha withdrew his hand after he saw that Eloise had regained her composure and her anger had subsided.
Gwendolyn snickered when she saw that Eloise had managed to hold herself back despite being so furious.
âIâve long heard about Ms. Fergusonâs fiery and domineering personality.
â Gwendolyn clicked her tongue before shaking her head and continuing, âIt seems like I was worried for nothing! âHow dare you!â Eloise was livid.
She had to tamp down the urge to rush forward and rip Gwendolyn to shreds.
She could only watch as the latter sauntered into the elevator casually and finally disappear from her view.
Still, she was unable to regain her composure.
How dare she provokes me so brazenly? Iâm going to kill her, or Iâm not a Ferguson! Eventually, Eloise managed to calm her emotions.
All of a sudden, a name came to mind.
For the first time in her life, Eloise visited the jail and asked to see a woman.
Mon, May 73% Chapter 36 Spoilsport +25 Bonus A moment later, a woman dressed in a blue robe was brought into the visitorâs room.
She had disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes.
Through the glass panel that separated them, Eloise was visibly shocked and even covered her nose subconsciously.
âSuzanna, itâs only been a few days.
Why are you in such a bedraggled state?â Suzanna licked her parched lips and glared at Eloise hatefully.
âWhose fault do you think this is?â Two days ago, Suzanna had begged the policemen to let her meet Eloise in hopes that the latter would bail her out.
However, not only did Eloise refuse to see her, but she also shoved all the blame onto Suzanna and paid someone to expedite the sentence.
Suzanna was going to be transferred to prison the next day and she did not know if she would be able to step into the sunlight ever again.
She had assumed that Gwendolyn was her enemy.
In truth, Eloise was the demon that had caused her imprisonment.
Eloise frowned, but she did not remove the fingers that were delicately covering her nose.
Through the double glass panels, she spoke to Suzanna on the phone.
âIt couldnât be helped.
My family found out and they refused to let me involve myself in anything that could soil my reputation, so I had no choice but to sacrifice you.
However, donât worry.
Iâll put in a word for you.
Iâll ensure that you get to live a good life.
In return, you must tell me all you know about Gwendolyn.
â Eloise smiled knowingly as she continued.
âWhat do you think? Isnât it a good deal?â Unexpectedly, Suzanna threw back her head and guffawed while pounding on the table.
Puzzled, Eloise asked, âWhatâs so funny?â Isnât it hilarious to plot to kill your own future sister-in-law However, she did not voice her thoughts.
While she hated Gwendolyn, she also despised Eloise.
She refused to entertain the thought of them getting along well.
âAre you so unwilling to let her be happy?â Suzannaâs smile was wide.
Paired with her messy and coarse hair and bloodshot eyes, she was like a specter that had escaped from an asylum.
She was a frightening sight.
Eloise composed herself before replying, âOf course Donât you also want to get rid of her?â âYes.
Iâll tell you what I know.
â Smiling, Suzanna moved closer to the phone and whispered, âFrankly speaking, Gwendolyn is quite a formidable opponent.
Iâm not sure you can beat her even if you went all out.
However, I know that sheâs been divorced before.
Perhaps you could use this fact against her.
â Eloiseâs eyeâs sparkled in excitement.
âAll right.
Leave it to me! Iâll settle your score with Gwendolyn.
â Having said that, she immediately got up and left without looking back.
Glancing at Eloiseâs elegant retreating figure, Suzannaâs grin grew even more maniacal.
Too bad I wonât be able to witness their fight! Eloise impatiently made a call as soon as she got out, âFind out whoâs Gwendolynâs ex-husband.
I want a detailed report as soon as possible.
â Chapter 36 Spoilsport After waiting for about half an hour, a document was forwarded to her phone.
73% +25 Bonus Eloise tapped on the document, her furrowed brows relaxing.
When her eyes landed on a name on the document, she curled her lips.
âNatasha Mossey.
â Inside the CEOâs office at Wright Construction Group.
Maverick rested his hand on his temple and closed his eyes slightly.
Noah stood in front of him respectfully as he reported the situation at the Wright residence.
âMs. Wright made a fuss the other day, and the guards were afraid to release people.
Since then, she has been unusually obedient and only called Ms. Mossey a few times.
However, Ms. Mossey did not answer her calls.
â Maverick opened his eyes.
Noahâs last comment had caught his attention.
.
âWhy didnât Tasha answer?â Sheralyn and Natasha got along very well.
They also talked on the phone frequently.
However, ever since Gwendolyn caused the ruckus at the Wright residence, Natasha never brought up Sheralyn to him again.
Maverick frowned.
Noah explained, âPerhaps Ms. Mossey was busy with something else and missed Ms. Wrightâs call.
â It was not unusual to miss a call once or twice, but Natasha had avoided Sheralynâs calls several times.
What is she hiding from? Somethingâs wrong.
With a dark expression, he stood up.
âI havenât seen Tasha in a few days.
Iâll be going to the condominium.
â Noah stood in place.
âMs. Mossey isnât at the condominium at the moment.
She went out.
â Sheâs out? Never mind then.
Iâm probably overthinking it.
Maverick sat back down.
Noah stared at the faint dark eyebags under his boss cold dark eyes and was unable to resist asking.
âBoss, have you not gotten enough rest lately? Your complexion doesnât look too good.
â Maverick massaged his temples, feeling somewhat irritated.
Since he was still staying at the mansion, he would always see Gwendolyn no matter what time he returned.
She would be dressed in the apron, flashing a smile when she saw him.
Sometimes, she would have a hand on her hip as she swept up the leaves in the garden.
Just the other night, when she was in bed⦠The thought of Gwendolyn kept Maverick up at night.
When he woke up to take a drink, he would recall the memory of Treyton gently massaging her calves at the hotel.
âBoss?â
