Chapter 89 Someone You Can't Mess With
"Mr. Moore, her name is Eloise Knox. She's just an ordinary girl who can cook a few signature dishes. There's nothing special about her. Maybe it was too dark that night, and you mistook her for Eleanor."
Until now, Michael couldn't believe that he'd had the wrong person.
"It's impossible. There must be something wrong." Michael was certain that he hadn't made a mistake.
Daniel looked at him and asked with a smile, "Mr. Moore, what could have gone wrong? Could it be that Eleanor was replaced?"
Michael frowned and carefully recalled the scene from that night.
The lights in the backyard were not very bright, but as Eleanor passed by, he could see her face clearly. Eloise and Eleanor obviously weren't wearing the same clothes.
"No, but I'm sure I didn't make a mistake."
Daniel remained silent, to avoid making trouble for himself.
Michael couldn't let it go but couldn't figure out what went wrong.
"Keep an eye on the Logan family. Once they fall, we'll immediately acquire their assets. I don't know who reported them this time, but it has given us a chance." A glimmer of a smile flashed in Michael's eyes.
The Logan family had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth over the years, and he couldn't let it slip through his fingers.
"Mr. Moore, I've been keeping an eye on them." Daniel happily left, knowing that if they acquired the assets of the Logan family, he'd also profit from it.
......
Eleanor fell into a deep dreamless sleep!
Eleanor woke up early and saw Hailey bringing a middle-aged doctor with her.
Eleanor held Waylon's hand and went downstairs.
Hailey glanced disdainfully at Eleanor. Before Sebastian came downstairs, she whispered in Eleanor's ear, "Eleanor, in a few days, I'll take your place. Enjoy these last few days."
Eleanor smiled, radiant under the light. She stared at Hailey, who was an arrogant and confident woman. Hailey's smile was sweet but her heart was wicked.
"Ms. Logan, do you know when one looks the ugliest?"
Hailey was confused and answered quickly, "Eleanor, isn't that the moment you are now? Lowly and helpless. You're only relying on good luck. Do you think you can always be this fortunate?"
Eleanor glanced at her sideways. "Ms. Logan, you don't have to worry about that. After all, I'm already Sebastian's wife, while you can only be jealous of me."
"Ms. Logan, the ugliest moment for one is when his last shred of dignity is torn away. I'm looking forward to that day."
Hailey gritted her teeth in anger. What did Eleanor mean by her words?
It was just because of her good fortune that she was chosen by Samuel. How could she be so smug?!
Hailey saw Sebastian approaching and quickly put on a submissive appearance.
"Seb, this is Dr. Brody, Gavin Brody." Hailey introduced the man to Sebastian with a gentle smile.
Vincent pushed Sebastian over, and Sebastian nodded slightly at the middle-aged man not far away.
"Dr. Brody, thanks for your coming."
Gavin smiled obsequiously. "Mr. Moore, it's my pleasure."
Sebastian looked at Eleanor and pursed his lips slightly. Eleanor had saved Waylon's life and he wanted to provoke Hailey.
He looked at Eleanor, his fists tightening slightly. "Ho... honey, take Ms. Logan to Sapphire Pavilion."
The word "honey" startled both Eleanor and Hailey.
Eleanor stared blankly at Sebastian.
Sebastian slowly shifted his gaze away, looking embarrassed.
"Seb, you..." Hailey stomped her feet in anger and then left the hall.
Eleanor didn't look at Sebastian and followed Hailey out.
Sapphire Pavilion was located on the west side of the garden. It was a retro pavilion with orchid reliefs, surrounded by exotic flowers. In front of it, there were verdant bamboo groves, and the tree shadows swayed in the wind. The scenery was magnificent.
When they arrived at Sapphire Pavilion, Hailey suddenly turned around and raised her hand to hit Eleanor.
A cold light flashed in Eleanor's eyes. She slightly dodged. Hailey used all her strength, so she lost her balance and fell awkwardly onto a chair.
"Ah..."
Eleanor looked at her disheveled appearance. Before Hailey could get up, Eleanor kicked her in the butt.
"Ah..." Hailey lay on the ground, feeling humiliated, and her heart prickled painfully.
"Eleanor, you'll end up dead!" Hailey gritted her teeth in anger.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely cold! Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Eleanor's eyes were as cold as ice, and she looked down at her.
The summer wind was hot, and the surrounding air became even hotter.
"Hailey, remember, I'm someone you can't mess with."
"Ha... you bitch." Hailey slowly got up from the ground.
Hailey looked at Eleanor. The sunlight was falling on Eleanor, and her hair was fluttering in the wind. Eleanor was so stunning. Her smile was as bright as flames!
Hailey was stunned by this side of Eleanor, realizing how terrifying she could be.
Eleanor sat by the coffee table, pressed the switch, and made the coffee. Her movements were elegant and noble.
Hailey looked at Eleanor in shock. How could Eleanor, who was once an orphan, have such a noble temperament?
In the hall!
Gavin knelt on the ground, with four bodyguards standing behind him.
Sebastian's handsome face was as cold as water. He held his son in his arms and stared at Gavin with a gloomy expression.
Gavin was filled with fear, understanding what was happening.
The beautiful life he had envisioned was about to cost him his life.
"Mr. Moore, what do you mean?" Gavin asked with a brave voice, still trembling from the beating he had just received.
"Gavin, how dare you poison my son. Your wife Sarah Hayes, your son Edward Brody, your daughter Samantha Brody, no one in your family can escape," Sebastian's voice was calm but carried a terrifying power of life and death.
Gavin's face turned pale. Today, he wasn't brought here to treat Sebastian but to be caught as the culprit.
He was going to be ruined by Hailey.
"No, no, Mr. Moore, it wasn't me. It really wasn't me," Gavin pleaded.
Gavin knew that Sebastian could determine if he lived or died. He was trembling in fear.
Sebastian smiled arrogantly, "You can deny it, but I have evidence. The poison is a root extract from a plant. Prolonged consumption can lead to blindness. If taken for over a year, it can be fatal. Do
you think I wouldn't find out? Without evidence, would I make you kneel here?"
Sebastian was skilled in stratagem. He didn't like violence but rather enjoyed striking fatal blows unexpectedly, leaving no room for defense.
Gavin trembled as he raised his hands, his mind racing, desperately denying, "Mr. Moore, I really don't understand what you mean."
Sebastian looked at Vincent and said, "Bring his daughter here."
He had ways to make him speak the truth. If anyone dared to harm his son, he wouldn't let them go.
Upon hearing this, Gavin didn't dare to hide anything. His children were as precious as his life.
"Mr. Moore, it wasn't me. Can you spare my life if I tell you the truth?" Gavin looked at Sebastian, his face filled with pleading.
