The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 231

Everyone there was taken aback at the time.

“What exactly happened? Why did the bracelet of diamonds fall into the water?” Inger raced over with urgency.

“It seemed like Miss Pierce was in a bad mood at the moment. Initially, I was going to assist her to put the bracelet away and apologize to her, but she was so excited that she accidentally dropped it into the swimming pool.”

The corners of Eli’s eyes drooped slightly as he smiled with a sour grin. He behaved in a victimized and naive manner.

Everybody began to feel sorry for him. They were of the opinion that Eli had done nothing wrong.

They then swiveled around to face Eliana with reproachful looks.

Eli had surprised Eliana by complaining first! Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re making things up. The bracelet was not an accident; you dropped it into the water on purpose,” she shot back with a response that was as quick as lightning.

Unfortunately, no one was willing to put their faith in her.

“Our faith in you hasn’t wavered, Eli. You’re not to blame.”

“Yes, she had to have planned it.”

Eliana was the target of everyone’s wrath.

Eliana’s body trembled as she vented her rage at Eli.

Because everyone was occupied just now, Eliana had no proof to support her claim of innocence.

Inger also had faith in Eli. She remarked with a sneer, “Regardless of what you intend to do, Miss Pierce, this bracelet is sponsored by the Moran Group, and we must return it. I am compelled to seek restitution from you.”

Again, Eliana was requested to make compensation.

“What if I don’t recompense you?” she said in a chilly tone.

It was safe to say that Inger wasn’t a slouch. “Miss Pierce, I’m afraid that isn’t up to you,” she told her straight out.

Eli acted as if he were a decent guy and replied, “You now have a second option, Miss Pierce. The diamonds are in the pool. If you hurry, you can still catch them. In spite of this…”

“What now?”

“But you’ll have to put in the effort. This is your own fault and you deserve to be punished. You’ll have no one to turn to,” Eli stated a little more slowly.

He was hell-bent on humiliating Eliana.

As Eliana lowered her head, she took a look at the swimming pool, which was enormous. It was becoming late. While the scene was illuminated, it remained dark beneath the water. Finding all the diamonds on her own was impossible.

Eli kept on teasing her, “What? You’d rather not? You may quit or request assistance from Mr. Moran.”

Eliana smirked, knowing that Eli had attempted to repel her.

Eli couldn’t have what he wanted from her.

Eliana did not consider seeking Maurice for support.

“Only searching for diamonds? Piece of cake! I’m certain that I’m capable of doing this task on my own. There is no need to be so snarky about this.”

She plunged into the pool without hesitation.

The water in the swimming pool was icy. Eliana plummeted to the bottom of the pool. It was dark and she had to fumble for the diamonds in the murky water. She was able to locate one before her oxygen was depleted.

“Got one!”

Eliana ascended to the surface, set aside the diamond she had found, and then submerged once again. One by one, the gems were discovered throughout time.

Eli was taken aback by what he saw.

Eliana’s stubbornness drove him crazy!

However, Eli had a presumption that Eliana was going to quit on her own or that she was going to give up as soon as she picked some of them. Then, he would have every justification for kicking her out of his team for good.

No one prepared him for how determined Eliana would be to get the jewels.

Eliana repeatedly dove gently into the water and surfaced awkwardly. Eli felt sorry for her as he gazed at her.

In the end, he had no choice but to accept the situation as it was.

One diamond at a time, Eliana’s physical power was being depleted as she searched for them.

When she jumped back into the water, she felt a tightness in her thigh!

Suddenly, Eliana couldn’t move one inch. Her throat suddenly tightened as the water in the pool choked her. She’d taken a big breath unconsciously. The water was pouring into her trachea, and she was beginning to suffocate.

She wanted to scream for aid, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Eliana struggled and splashed water as she fought for her life beneath the pool.

Eli sensed instantly that something was amiss with Eliana. He yelled, “Oh no, she’s drowning!”

No one wanted to jump to Eliana’s rescue as the panic broke out.

“Help!” Eli yelled at the top of his lungs.

He couldn’t do anything except watch from the sidelines, since he had no idea how to swim.

In the last seconds, before Eliana was ready to go under, a guy dashed over and dove into the pool.

Eliana had exhausted her strength.

Her field of view was clouded. She sunk to the bottom of the water after giving up her fight.

Was her demise imminent?

Moments before she lost consciousness, she dimly saw a person swimming toward her.

Who was this man?
