Elianna's heartbeat soared instantly, and cold sweat trickled down her back.
His tone differed from that a few days ago, giving her a bad premonition.
She gathered herself and tried to remain calm. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"My fiancé is still waiting for me outside. Excuse me," she added.
Brett naturally wouldn't let Elianna escape so easily. He blocked her way.
"Speaking of Mr. Asher, we had a great conversation earlier, and he told me something."
Brett's eyes shimmered with a repulsive calculation. "Ms. Gentry had always had poor health since childhood. Who would have known that after a serious illness six months ago, her health suddenly improved? Recently, the head of the Gibson family has been troubled by an old disease. Such a good doctor should be recommended to him for a try." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Elianna's heart skipped a beat.
That person was not like Brett. If he discovered that she hadn't died but had faked her death and escaped to Oakpool, he would definitely not give her another chance to escape.
The bone-chilling fear penetrated her marrow, causing Elianna's teeth to chatter.
She had to hold Brett back. She wouldn't have a chance to maneuver if he disclosed this news to that person.
After struggling internally, Elianna finally spoke. "What do you want?"
Seeing Elianna suddenly soften, Brett immediately got excited.
He leaned closer. "Do you want to be Ms. Gentry? It's possible, but..."
Brett's hand touched her slender waist. "I don't have many friends in Oakpool. It's boring to be alone."
Suppressing her nausea, Elianna spoke obediently. "If you don't mind, I can be your tour guide."
At her words, Brett became even more audacious. His hand began to descend.
"They say Oakpool has a beautiful night view. Ms. Gentry, accompany me to see it later."
He emphasized the words "Ms. Gentry," hinting that whether or not she could be Ms. Gentry depended solely on his whim.
Elianna made excuses to evade the situation. "I came with Asher, and we have to go back together today..."
"Don't pretend."
Brett ruthlessly uncovered her facade. "Your relationship with Asher isn't good, and it's not to the point where you can't bear to part with him. It's just an excuse."
"If you try any tricks, I'll immediately send the news back to Elfold!"
"No."
To appease him, Elianna could only nod. "All right, I agree."
Brett revealed a triumphant smirk. He licked his lips, scanning her up and down, wishing he could act right now.
"Ms. Gentry, see you tonight."
After he left, Elianna relaxed her tightly clenched fist, leaving nail marks on her palm.
When she was tormented in Elfold before, Brett had already harbored ill intentions toward her.
But due to the lack of opportunity, he had to give up.
She never expected that she would fall into his hands after two years.
The thought of what she had just agreed to made Elianna feel suffocated.
Did she have to give herself to him?
Even if she reluctantly accepted, how could she guarantee he would keep his promise after taking advantage of her?
In this matter, she had no leverage over Brett whatsoever.
Brett had her in his grasp, and he could do as he pleased.
She would be helpless if he took advantage of her and sold her information later.
What should she do? How could she turn the tables in this passive situation?
"Why are you standing there like a fool? Alicia has already come out!" Asher's stern reprimand snapped Elianna back to reality. He was staring at her with an indignant expression.
Right, she was still at the party. As Asher's wife and Mrs. Gentry, she had to maintain her dignity.
Composing herself, Elianna followed Asher outside and was taken aback when she saw the man next to Alicia.
