Chapter 120 Unexpected Guest
When it came to family matters, no one could remain calm.
Knowing that Mrs. Gentry was doing it on purpose, Elianna had no choice but to obey her.
"What happened to my brother?"
Elianna was anxious and worried, but Mrs. Gentry remained indifferent as she took a sip of coffee.
She frowned and turned to the servant beside her. "It's cold and get a new pot of tea."
Even when the servant returned with fresh tea, Mrs. Gentry didn't spare her a glance.
Taking a deep breath, Elianna lowered her head slowly.
"I'm sorry, Mother. I was rude just now."
Upon hearing her submissive tone, Mrs. Gentry's gaze finally returned to her.
"You should know that without me, without the Gentry family, let alone your body, you wouldn't even have your life. Do you think you have the right to choose what you want to do or not do?"
Upon hearing this, Elianna understood.
As long as she was protected by the Gentry family, she couldn't refuse any orders from them.
Her straight back was bent down slightly. "I was wrong. I will follow your arrangements."
Seeing her bowing so low, Mrs. Gentry had a satisfied expression on her face and said graciously, "You don't need to worry about your brother. I have hired a professional doctor from abroad to treat
him."
"Thank you for my brother."
"Alright, it's getting late. Go and prepare to go to Fantasy Club."
"Yes."

The night lights in Oakpool were colorful and vibrant, except for the occasional blaring of car horns.
Unlike the frustrated driver in the front seat due to the traffic jam, Elianna in the back seat quietly looked at the slow-moving traffic outside the window, wishing that the journey would never end.
But no matter how congested the road was, there would always be a way through. Before long, traffic police came to direct and the road gradually cleared up.
The speed of the car increased and Elianna's heart sank even further.
She had thought about seeking help from Jefferson, but she hung up before getting through.
Not to mention whether he was willing to get involved in this mess, if he did take action, it would surely alert Mrs. Gentry.
If Mrs. Gentry found out about their relationship, she would undoubtedly use it as leverage and negotiate with Jefferson.
She might be used as a spy around Jefferson.
Once Jefferson had dealings with the Gentry family, her identity would no longer be a secret.

"Anna, we've arrived."
In front of them was a street in shades of red.
Under the various signs, there were hostesses standing and young girls hanging on the arms of middle-aged men.
Although it was also a nightlife district, it had a completely different atmosphere compared to that of Eclipse.
The car slowed down as it entered this street and finally stopped at a luxurious, slightly outdated building.
Rossy House.
The car circled around the building and stopped at a smaller building at the back.
This was the realm of the nouveau riche and the powerful.
After entering, Elianna followed the waiter through a maze-like route of doors and stairs, obviously designed to handle surprise inspections. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, the waiter opened one of the doors. "Ladies, please come in."
The room was filled with opulence, the kind that was built on gold and silver utensils.
The waiter spoke to someone inside. "Mr. Roberts, the guest has arrived..."
But there was no one inside the room.
The waiter looked surprised, wondering where the person had gone.
He walked away with a walkie-talkie and came back. "Mr. Roberts has unexpected guests. You can wait inside for now."
Nola gave him a tip, then turned to Elianna. "It seems like his friend has arrived. Let's sit for a while."
Elianna nodded but felt a hint of suspicion in her heart.
If it was a friend coming to visit, they should have been informed beforehand.
He left in such a hurry, indicating it was likely an unexpected guest.
As Elianna had guessed, this guest was indeed unexpected for Mr. Roberts. One could even say that this person was an unwelcome visitor.
With a forced smile, Mr. Roberts looked at the relaxed man sitting on the sofa as if he belonged there. "Mr. Larsen, what brings you here?"
