Chapter 133
Early the next morning, Eliza was pulled into a WeChat group by Matthew. Not only her, but also Beau and all the people of the Valentine family were in the group. Of course, there were Roseane’s parents and younger brother. Lucy: I apologize to the Comtois family for my improper words yesterday. It was I who looked down upon you all and I sincerely apologize. Lucy: Actually, I went to the hotel early in the morning but I was chased out by Xande twice. I had no choice but to apologize on WeChat.
Lucy: If the in-laws are willing to open the door to let me in, I’ll bring a few gifts worth more than ten thousand dollars with me to thank you. Gian: Yes, sorry, in-laws! Gian: Oliver, Mariam, We‘re so sorry. Please forgive us.
Eliza looked at the messages in the group chat while washing up. A helpless smile appeared on her face. For the sake of money, the Gian couple really had to go all out. It was only seven o’clock in the morning, and they had been chased out of the hotel twice. Seeing the news, she sighed. If Lucy and Gian weren’t doing this for money, how harmonious and loving would this be? But now, Eliza only felt that it was ironic. After a long time, there was no reply from the Comtois family. Thus, Lucy and Gian started chattering in the group chat. When Eliza finished washing, there was finally a response from the Comtois family. Oliver: My father’s cell phone is in my hands. I am Xander. Roseane’s mother: My mother’s phone is also in my hands. Xander: Aren’t you guys tired? Can’t you let us sleep in peace? Lucy and Gian were at a loss for words. After a long time, Elias also added Lucija into the group. “Oh, is this the family group chat?” Lucija immediately began to talk in the group chat. “Look, everyone is here. I am the last one to be added in.” “It seems that I am very important to everyone that’s why I am the last.” Matthew: I just forgot that there was a person like you in the Valentine family. Lucija was silent for a long time before she sent a smiley face and said, “Matthew is really funny.” After saying this, the group fell into a dead silence. Just when Eliza thought that she there was no more drama and was about to put her phone away, a friend request notification appeared on her phone. It was Lucija. She hesitated for a whileNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
and clicked yes. “Eliza.” Lucija directly sent a photo to Eliza. “Am I beautiful?” Eliza opened the photo as she changed her clothes. The moment her eyes met with the photo, she was stunned. She had thought that it was a photo of her alone. Unexpectedly, it was a group photo. Lucija and Beau’s photo. In the group photo, Beau sat on the sofa while Lucija stood behind him. Beau’s legs were elegantly crossed. Behind him, Lucija was supporting the sofa with one hand and resting her other hand on his shoulder. From a distance, two looked like they had a very close relationship. Eliza fell silent. According to Beau, he was not close to Lucija and was not even familiar with her at all. The so-called fiancée was a joke of others. However … The appearance of this photo made Eliza feel that it was not as simple as Beau had described. If he was really not familiar with Lucija, why did he take such a photo with her? Why would he allow Lucija to place her hand on his shoulder? “Do you think that Beau is more handsome in this photo?” “That’s right. Beau has always been handsome. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be many women who don’t deserve him but still wanted to marry him at all costs, right?” Every single word from Lucija made Eliza extremely uncomfortable. After a long while, she took a deep breath and replied, “He is my husband. Of course, I think he is very handsome.” “If he is not handsome, there will not be woman who is not familiar with him looking for evidence everywhere to prove that she has a close relationship with him, right?” As expected. After Eliza sent this message, there was still no reply from Lucija on the other side after a long time. She smiled happily. Did she win this round? Eliza took a deep breath, put the phone away, and turned to go out. Today, she and Ethan had agreed to do some tests about amnesia. He would record all her test results and take them to the institute abroad to research on it. If she was confirmed to be the victim of the failed drug, it would be easier for her to regain her memory. The place they had agreed on was still the mental hospital from yesterday. When Eliza arrived, Ethan was already waiting at the entrance of the mental hospital. Ethan wore a grey sports suit today. He looked fresh and natural, even younger than Matthew. Seeing her come, Ethan smiled and said hello to her, “Let’s go in.” “Don’t be nervous. Today is a simple comprehensive investigation on amnesia.” Ethan held the recording pen and walked in the mental hospital with Eliza. “What do you think about this place?” Ethan needed to record the whole process. In the beginning, Eliza still resisted this type of method. But after a while, she got used to it naturally and occasionally joked with Ethan like an old friend. They spent the whole morning in
the mental hospital. At noon, they came out of the mental hospital together. When she went out, a car at the entrance of the hospital caught Eliza’s attention. “Is this… Riley’s car?” She frowned. What was Riley doing at the mental hospital? He was here again to look for more photos because he didn’t think the previous photos were enough? He really thought that those photos could make it difficult for her. Eliza shook her head helplessly at the thought of this. She turned to look at Ethan beside her. “Mr. Hill, let me treat you to a meal.” Ethan smiled faintly. “Sure.” “If Mrs. Valentine invites me to dinner, I want to eat something expensive.” “No problem.” Eliza’s lips curled into a smile. “When you come back from abroad, no matter what the outcome is, I’ll still treat you to a meal.” “It’s a deal.” So, Eliza and Ethan went to a more famous restaurant in Krine. The restaurant was very slow to serve the food, but because Eliza and Ethan had a lot of common topics, they didn’t feel embarrassed. Time passed by slowly. An hour and a half later, when Eliza finished her last mouthful, she heaved a long sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang. The call was from Xander. She frowned and picked up. “What’s wrong?” “Eliza.” Xander’s voice on the other side of the phone trembled a little, which was rare for him. “Esme, the one who planned to kidnap my sister… was acquitted.”
