Chapter 18 Introduce Nola to Jefferson
Erica spoke coldly, "This is something you should worry about yourself."
Elianna was at a loss for words.
Ever since she entered the Gentry family, Erica had warned her.
Once her identity was exposed, the Gentry family would not help her clean up the mess.
If she didn't want to bring disaster upon her family and herself, she had to do well as the Ms. Gentry of the Gentry family.
"Bring the dress for tomorrow's banquet back home. The makeup artist will go there in advance to do your makeup."
"Yes, mother."
Every time Elianna attended a banquet, the dress was personally selected by Erica, even including the dress for the engagement day.
Not only she but every girl from the Gentry family was treated the same way.
To the Gentry family, girls were more like commodities than people.
Wrapped in packaging and enter the market, sold, and occasionally displayed on the shelf to promote future products.
With everything explained, it was time for Elianna to leave.
Just as she stood up, Erica suddenly asked, "How is your relationship with Jefferson?"
Elianna's knees weakened, and she fell back onto the sofa.
Her first reaction was that Jefferson had found out about her and Jefferson's affair.
But then she calmed down, realizing that even the Larsen family didn't know about it, let alone Erica.
Trying to calm her voice, she replied, "Jefferson has a strong personality. Although I've seen him at the Larsen's mansion, we don't talk."
As she spoke, Elianna observed Erica's reaction. Although there was some disappointment in her expression, it seemed expected.
Feeling some relief, Elianna thought it would end there. However, Erica's following words surprised her even more.
"At tomorrow's banquet, introduce Ms. Nola to him if there's a chance."
"What?"
Elianna was stunned, and she could hardly believe her ears.
Erica frowned, "Don't be so startled. Show some decorum."
Realizing her own loss of composure, Elianna calmed herself down and carefully chose her words, "Jefferson is probably not easy to approach."
"He might be difficult to approach but he must have heard of Ms. Nola's reputation. As a man, he might not refuse."
Indeed, she had used the Gentry family as bait to capture his interest.
The scandal surrounding Nola had been widely known in Oakpool, far more famous than herself.
People liked chaste and virtuous women, not because they admired their chastity but because they enjoyed conquering them.
No man could resist bringing down the pure and virtuous goddess with his own hands.
As a man with all sorts of extraordinary abilities, Jefferson had no reason to refuse.
For some reason, this conclusion made Elianna feel uneasy.
She attributed it to the embarrassment of introducing new women to her former bed partner.
And, based on their recent interactions...she was terrified of Jefferson.
Just as she was thinking of finding an excuse to refuse, Erica suddenly said, "If you handle this matter well, after the banquet tomorrow, I'll allow you to visit the retreat."
Elianna looked up abruptly. Nothing could compare to seeing her brother.
She wanted to see if her brother had truly awakened and to know what had happened back then.
A month was simply too hard to endure.
With that in mind, she took a deep breath. "Yes, mother, I will do my best."
After leaving the Gentry family, Elianna sat in the car for a long time, trying to calm herself down.
There were no bruises on her body but a few invisible needle marks on her arm.
The medication was specially prepared by the Gentry family, and each one was torture.
When Elianna had calmed down enough, she made a phone call to the retreat.
No one answered.
It was likely that his phone had been confiscated. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Now, looking back, the fact that she was able to make that call must have been orchestrated by Erica.
It seemed that this was the only way to see her brother.
