Chapter 44 Seduction
"This glass of wine was made especially for you. Are you refusing to drink it because you dislike me?"
Nola gazed at the wine on the tray. Without even picking it up, she could smell the pungent odor of alcohol.
She already had three glasses, each more potent than the one before it.
The last one felt like it was burning a hole in her gut. Fighting the impulse to puke had sapped all of her energy.
But Alicia wanted her to drink more.
The waiter brought the wine closer to Nola, making it impossible for her to avoid.
She looked at Alicia and said, "Alicia, I really can't drink anymore."
Nola's face was flushed from the drink, and her sluggish stance irritated Alicia even more.
Is this how she seduced Jefferson?
Alicia's rage about Jefferson's dismissal was channeled to Nola.
"Drink it up!" Alicia shouted, pointing to her nose.
"No, let me go, let me go."
All the female guests were taken aback when they saw the bodyguard detain Nola.
Although there were disagreements in the upper-class social circle, everyone preserved their dignity and only made sarcastic remarks.
Alicia was the first to resort to physical assault.
Being so pompous was unheard of. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Elianna couldn't stand by and watch Nola's mouth be forced open.
"Alicia."
Elianna stepped in front of the bodyguard, who would pour the wine. "Nola can't handle alcohol. Why don't I drink this glass for her?"
It has nothing to do with being a hero. They were both Gentry family tools, but Nola was the ace, and Elianna was a nobody.
If Mrs. Gentry discovered she had stood by idly, her punishment would be far more severe than simply having a glass of wine.
Furthermore, given her relationship with Jefferson, it wasn't unjust for her to sip from this glass.
"And who are you?" Alicia questioned, looking at Elianna.
"My name is Elianna, and I am the Larsen family's daughter-in-law. I greeted you at the banquet earlier."
Alicia has no recollection of her. Elianna only said these words to let Alicia know she was from the Larsen family and to put the Larsen family on the map.
This strategy worked. Alicia's gaze became less hostile.
At the same time, Elianna's words irritated Asher.
This woman dared to use the Larsen surname as a shield.
"Ugh."
Nola grabbed her mouth, a terrible expression on her face, and retching filled the air.
Alicia looked down at her miserable situation, and some pent-up emotions were released.
She scowled."Forget it, I'm no longer in the mood. Let's come to an end here."
...
The party ended, and Elianna led Nola into the Gentry family's car.
When she looked at Nola, who was drunk and incoherent, she couldn't help but think of the model who had previously tried to seduce Jefferson.
Even being a wealthy heiress wasn't enough to keep Nola safe from revenge. What would become of that model, a woman who relied solely on her beauty?
Elianna shuddered and rubbed her hands together. A coat covered her back.
"Let's go, Ms. Gentry."
Brett stood beside her, his eyes glimmering with delight as he gazed at her.
All the guests had already left when she turned around, and silence had descended.
Asher had long since left, leaving only the two of them on the grand porch because she had exploited the name of the Larsen family.
Elianna faked a grin as she smelt the potent and pungent aroma on his clothes.
"Sure."
Brett's fingers stroked Elianna's leg beneath her skirt as the car door shut.
The chilly, sticky touch moved deeper into her leg. Elianna reached out her skirt and grabbed his hand.
Elianna smiled at Brett, fearful that he would become enraged. "Didn't you want to see the night view? There is no excellent night view from here."
Brett drew closer after being aroused by her teasing.
"So, where is the excellent night view?"
Elianna's mind flashed to the place "Eclipse."
