Chapter 63
She knew that Elijah was aware of everything she said on the lie detector.
Could he really be Elijah?
Did Elijah really want the Dennis Group's new system?
At this thought, she started to sweat on her back.
After hanging up the phone, she walked out of the room.
Elijah and Brandon had finished their dinner, and they were smoking in the living room.
Brandon saw her coming and immediately snuffed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
"Ms. Dennis, wanna come over and chat?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Violette nodded and walked towards Brandon.
When she approached Brandon, she said, "I want to talk to Elijah alone."
Brandon choked.
Did she mean for him to leave?
Awkwardly, he stood up, "I'll leave you two alone. You can go for a walk outside, the weather is great."
With that, he left.
Violette sat in Brandon's spot, thinking of how Kaleb might get hurt and blurted out, "Kaleb just called
me, saying he's at the casino and being detained. They want to hurt him."
Elijah was aware of this.
He had received a message from the casino.
They said Kaleb had been gambling big tonight.
"Do you care about him?" Elijah's mood turned heavy when he heard Violette mention 'Kaleb.'
"The people detaining him thought the Dennis Group's new system was in his hands, so they gave him
money to gamble. Now they want him to hand over the new system," Violette said word by word,
"Other than you, who else knows the new system is in his hands?"
"You suspect me?" A cold light flashed in Elijah's eyes, and ash fell from his cigarette.
"I just came to ask you, if it's not you..."
"It's me." Elijah sneered, "Do you want to beg me to spare him?"
Violette frowned, "beg you? Do you think I’ve lost my mind?"
Elijah's body tensed, gritting his teeth, "I can have him hurt right now!"
Violette: "Hurry up. If you don't hurt him, you're a coward."
Elijah didn't know what else to say.
Violette: "He even told me last time that I was his favorite woman, but tonight he's messing around with
my sister. If you hurt him, I can light your cigarette for you, how about that?"
Elijah suddenly calmed down.
Looking at her, it seemed like she didn't care about Kaleb anymore!
That's right, Kaleb, the prodigal son, couldn't give her anything now.
After a while, his phone rang.
He glanced at it and then turned it off.
After he turned it off, Violette's phone rang.
Violette looked at the caller ID and turned her phone off too.
Suddenly, it was very quiet around them, all there left was the sound of their heartbeats.
Violette hesitated for a moment and then warned Elijah, "Elijah, you'd better not try to get anything from
me. Otherwise, I'll drag you down with me."
