His Dangerous Love

Chapter 118 Insulted by the Guest

Chapter 118 Insulted by the Guest

Elianna was stunned. Previously, Mrs. Gentry would always ask her to wait outside when there were guests.

After all, she wasn't one member of the Gentry family, so precautions were necessary.

But just now, when she entered, the servants didn't stop her and simply assumed she could come in.

Thinking about it, she realized that this guest might have something to do with her.

Without Mrs. Gentry's permission, Elianna couldn't actively interact with or even look at the guests.

"Mother."

Elianna nodded politely without looking sideways.

"Mhmm."

Mrs. Gentry responded indifferently, "This is Mr. Roberts. Say hello."

With Mrs. Gentry's instruction, Elianna dared to look at the person on the sofa.

A man in his thirties wearing a tiger-patterned shirt.

With his narrow triangular eyes, he looked extremely sinister when sizing people up, as if trying to see through their bones.

Elianna felt a little uncomfortable and nodded, avoiding his gaze. "Mr. Roberts."

Mr. Roberts unabashedly examined Elianna and ordered directly, "Come closer, so I can get a good look at your face."

Elianna was taken aback and looked towards Mrs. Gentry.

Mrs. Gentry seemed unfazed and said calmly, "Go ahead."

Elianna felt uneasy, but she couldn't defy Mrs. Gentry. She could only take a step forward and stop at a distance from Mr. Roberts.

Suddenly, Mr. Roberts stood up and Elianna restrained her instinct to step back immediately.

He wasn't particularly tall, barely reaching 5.6 feet, and had a slightly slender figure.

He pinched Elianna's chin and turned her face around, making a clicking sound with his tongue.

"So plain."

Elianna had reached her limit, especially when his eyes were fixated on her neckline.

And it didn't end there. He even reached out to pull her collar.

Unable to tolerate it any longer, she took a step back and said, "Mr. Roberts, please behave yourself."

Mr. Roberts's face darkened. "Mrs. Gentry, what does this mean?" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Gentry furrowed her brows and glared at Elianna, then turned to Mr. Roberts and said, "Anna had poor health when she was young, and I spoiled her. She knows nothing about family matters. Please understand."

"I see."

Mr. Roberts's gaze became even more naked and he touched his chin. "That works too. It will be an interesting experience."

Upon hearing this, even if Elianna was slow on the uptake, she understood what they were referring to.

She couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Mrs. Gentry. She was now married to the Larsen family. Was Mrs. Gentry asking her to get close to Mr. Roberts, just like she did with Nola?

Facing her questioning gaze, Mrs. Gentry showed no intention of explaining herself. Instead, she seemed displeased by Elianna's impolite look.

"Don't forget your place."

"Enough. You can leave first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Roberts."

Elianna clenched and loosened her fists by her side. Through gritted teeth, she said, "Yes, Mother."

She walked outside and finally felt some relief in her chest once she could breathe the fresh air.

The situation just now was quite clear. If Mrs. Gentry truly asked her to accompany Mr. Roberts, what should she do?

Her family was under the control of the Gentry family. Did she have the right to refuse?

A slightly worried voice came from behind her. "Anna."

She turned around to see Nola.

"Nola."

Nola nodded and looked at Elianna's unpleasant expression, cautiously asking, "Did you just meet Mr. Roberts?"

Elianna suddenly looked at her. "You've also met him?"

"Alas."

Nola let out a sigh. "He's sort of a regular visitor to our house. But it was your first time meeting him."

Upon hearing this, Elianna became even more suspicious.

Mr. Roberts didn't seem like a decent person at all. The Gentry family had always upheld strict moral standards, so how could they frequently interact with someone like him?

"Who exactly is he?"
