Chapter 236
The next morning, Eliana went to work as usual, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as she arrived, whispers began following her.
“I think it was her who spoke to the reporters about Eli yesterday.”
“It looks like her. I don’t know her, but I didn’t expect that she would be so vindictive.”
“It’s probably best to stay out of her way…”
Eliana couldn’t refrain from replying when she heard thesements. She turned around and sneered,
“Yesterday, when I was drowning, none of you came to save me. But now, all of you are talking about
me. If I had died, none of you would have escaped punishment. You’re all murderers.”
The whispers stopped. No one dared to even look at Eliana again.
They only ndered her behind her back.
Eliana turned away and saw Eli walking towards her.
The negative public opinion of him did not seem to affect him at all. He had a sunny smile on his face,
but his words were not pleasant to Eliana.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a strong character. Why didn’t you refuse to pick up the diamonds
yesterday? Did you know that Maurice woulde to save you?”
Eli was kidding, but Eliana exploded with anger.
“Eli, you must have misunderstood. I did not fetch the diamond bracelet because of your oppression.”
“Why then?” Eli asked, confused.
“Do you know how many people have put their heart and soul into making that diamond bracelet? The
designer dreamed up the design and then countless craftsmenbored to make that design a reality.
You only see an expensive object. I see the hard work of everyone behind it. You shouldn’t have made
fun of theirbor.”
Eliana’s words were powerful enough to make Eli feel a little ashamed.
All he had thought about was how he could use the diamond bracelet to force Eliana to resign.
“I’m sorry,” Eli murmured.

“What?”
Eliana thought she must have heard him wrong.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made you pick up the diamonds. I apologize.”
Eli’s sincere expression surprised Eliana.
Eliana had been prepared for an argument, but Eli had apologized so quickly.
“By the way, here are your sketches. I saw them and picked a few sets that can be used today.”
Eli took out several sketches from behind his back and held them out to Eliana, who epted them in
a daze.
“By the way… I can tell you put a lot of effort into these.” Eli’s ears went red and he turned away. He left
in a hurry.
Eliana was now alone and confused.
What was up with Eli? Why was he suddenly treating her so well?
Before Eliana could try to unravel this mystery, she had to focus on her work.
During her break, she remembered that she still had Maurice’s clothes. She texted Corbin.
“Corbin, are you free now? I can give you Maurice’s clothes.”
Eliana didn’t want to see Maurice, so she hoped Corbin would ept the clothes.
Soon, Corbin replied, “I have asked Mr. Moran. He said that if you want to return the clothes, you
shoulde and give them back yourself. If you don’t want toe, you can simply throw the clothes
away.”
Eliana had expected this response.
“I’ll bring them to him after work.”
So, she had no choice but to face Maurice.
Eliana was in a daze.
“Eliana,e here.”
Eli’s voice came from the lounge.
Eliana put her thoughts aside and walked into the lounge.
Eli was wearing a vest that revealed his powerful arms and striking figure. He didn’t usually dress like
this.
Many women would be drawn to his masculine charm.
Eliana’s eyesnded on Eli’s neck.
The ruby ring!
“Help me change my clothes. This outfit is not good.”
Eli handed his coat to her. For a moment, Eliana was too absorbed to react.
Eli followed her gaze to the ring on his neck andughed. “Is this so important to you? You can’t take
your eyes off of it.”
“Yes, it’s very important to me.”
Eliana nodded enthusiastically.
“If it’s so important, why did you lose it?” Eli asked.
Eliana was at a loss for words.
