"We will stay at the mansion tonight."
Elianna was preparing to leave and putting on her coat. After hearing this, she paused. "Why?"
Asher reluctantly explained to her in that she had behaved well today.
"Grandpa gave us such a big gift. Mom and dad asked me to stay for two days and get close to him. It's good for me."
Asher was sending a message. When looking at the phone screen, he was in delight. However, he was impatient when he looked up.
"Alright, I have something else to deal with. You can go to the Plum Compound first."
The Larsen's mansion was divided into four compounds, in addition to the main compound where Brice lived and the other two areas.
The two areas in the north and south were closest to the main compound. Currently, only Neil and his family lived in the south compound.
Asher and his family lived in the Plum Compound.
Led by a servant, Elianna saw many people come in and out of the Bamboo Compound beside a small garden. She casually asked, "Isn't the Bamboo Compound uninhabited?"
"Mrs. Larsen, Jefferson is staying at the mansion today."
Elianna froze. She was scared several times by Jefferson, so she felt a bit frightened when hearing his name.
"Mrs. Larsen?"
Elianna regained her composure and said, "I'm okay. You can leave now."
"Okay."
After the servant left, Elianna looked at the Bamboo Compound from afar.
As long as she didn't leave the Plum Compound tonight, no accident would happen.
...
"What? The security guard resigned?"
Kenley was very puzzled when she received the phone call, "Did he tell you the reason?"
"I have no idea. He just said he wanted to go back to his hometown and he left without even asking for his salary."
Kenley felt it was strange. Why did the security guard resign?
She looked at the handbag carried in her hand, with the suit inside.
She had checked the suit brand yesterday. It was terrifyingly expensive. Moreover, it was a custom suit rather than something off-the-rack.
In addition, the inexplicable resignation of the security guard further strengthened her speculation. Elianna had told a lie, and this suit was left by a man.
She immediately took a photo of the suit and sent it to a close friend who was running a clothing brand. She believed that the buyer of the suit would be identified.
Her friend said that the reply would be given to her within three days.
Kenley suddenly felt quite excited. If Elianna really had an affair with another man, she would be caught out on this matter.
"What are you thinking?"
Kenley was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice Asher.
"Asher, you scared me!"
"I'm sorry, honey. Let me hug you."
Asher held her on his lap, reaching into her top.
Kenley smiled coyly and said, "Anna is still waiting for you in your room. You come here to flirt with me. What if she gets angry?"
"So what? How can a man only have one woman? She comes from the Gentry family and should understand this fact deeply."
Kenley pouted and said, "Would you not be satisfied with me?"
Asher touched her body. "If you can let me be happy, I only need you."
"Asher, you're so bad."
Kenley was always good in bed. Asher made love with her late at night. He was still savoring the moment after returning to his room.
After taking a shower, Elianna came out and noticed Asher. Then she quickly turned her back.
If Asher took a look at her carefully, he would find traces of another man on her body.
Ironically, Asher was flirting with his beloved cousin who was separated by a wall with his phone, without paying any attention to Elianna.
Elianna tightened her collar and covered her neck, turning around and saying in a cold tone, "Why did you come in?"
Asher looked up with discontent. Seeing Elianna's defensive face, he felt angry.
He thought she was an insincere woman. Hadn't she begged him to sleep with her yesterday?
"This is my home. Should I tell you where I'm going? I don't want to sleep with you in the same room. If it weren't for fear of being gossiped, I wouldn't look at you."
He didn't realize that besides anger, there was also a hint of dissatisfaction with Elianna's coldness in his heart.
Because she had discovered his relationship with Kenley, she gave him an evil look.
She was extremely unreasonable!
He hadn't even blamed her for tracking him!
Moreover, all the men were flirtatious. Kenley was his cousin. He thought this was acceptable.
Not only did he have this idea in mind, but also he spoke out.
Hearing his false reasoning, Elianna looked at him with a half smile. "She is your relative, so I should accept your inappropriate relationship?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Of course!"
Asher spoke with great confidence, "She is family!"
Elianna said significantly, "Well, please remember what you said today."
They parted in discord. Asher slammed the door and left.
Obviously, he went to his cousin's room.
Elianna didn't give a damn about him and was at ease with joy.
After drying her hair, she lay in bed. Her back hurt severely.
She looked in the mirror and found that her back was oozing blood because of water. If she didn't treat it, the wound would definitely suppurate tomorrow.
She put on her coat and went downstairs to find the medicine box.
She was not familiar with the Plum Compound and couldn't find it after wandering around the living room. Then she planned to ask a servant outside the house.
It was late at night and the wind was cool. As soon as she left the house, she shuddered.
She stepped on the gravel road, with small stones sinking into the gaps in her slippers.
Surrounded by an unnatural silence, she suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart.
During the day, there had been people coming and going in the Larsen's mansion which had been heavily guarded. Why wasn't there a soul at this moment?
When thinking about it, she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from far to near.
Her body reacted faster than her brain. She quickly went to the moon-shaped gate and hid herself behind the carved stone.
The next moment, five unfamiliar men appeared.
Under the night, they whispered, "Where is he?"
"I saw him come to the Plum Compound."
In the dark, Elianna saw black barrels in their hands and covered her mouth in terror.
After all, the Plum Compound was a residence. Afraid of disturbing other people, those men glanced over and left.
Seeing them left, Elianna went weak.
She was in a cold sweat. And her back injury was getting worse after soaking in sweat.
After this incident, she didn't want to find medicine. She was lucky enough to have saved her life.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard a noise behind her.
Elianna felt stiff and turned her head stiffly for fear that he was an accomplice of those men.
In the dark corner, the man sat on the ground and covered his abdomen, staring at her with a pair of deep eyes like a cheetah's.
At the moment of seeing Jefferson, Elianna turned around and left without saying a word.
"Even if I get hurt, I can still kill you."
Jefferson looked malicious and murderous.
Elianna walked back, saying with a fake smile, "Jefferson, what can I do for you?"
Jefferson sneered, "Don't you run away?"
"How can I leave you alone? I'm just looking for a medicine box."
Elianna changed her attitude immediately, hence Jefferson's interest grew stronger.
Just now she had made it clear that she wouldn't help him while now she was finding excuses for that.
Such a hypocritical woman was actually interesting.
"Come and help me up."
