Chapter 41


    Chapter 41


    Eliza was amazed by Jay’s shamelessness. She shot him a half-hearted smile. “But don’t you think I’m


    tarnished?” Jay’s eyes lit up at how mild of a reaction he received from Eliza. “I used to think you were


    filthy. “But now, I have Madeleine, who’s clean and pure by my side. Should you choose to stay by my


    side, I guess I could put up with you.” After saying that, he gave Eliza a lecherous once over. “Frankly


    speaking, you have a much better figure and appearancepared to Madeleine. “It’s just too bad


    that…” Eliza felt so repulsed by Jay’s words. But still, she looked up and shot him a smile. “Well, it isn’t


    entirely impossible for me to be with you…


    “However, I have a condition.” “Go ahead.” She gave him a coy smile. “Get out of the car and I will tell


    you.” Jay immediately got out of the car and strode gracefully over to Eliza’s side. “Go ahead. “I will meet


    your condition as long as it is within my ability.” “I won’t ask for much. All I ask is that you…” All of a


    sudden, a glint shed in her eyes as she lifted her knee in one swift motion and kneed him in the groin.


    “Ow!”


    In a split second, the great actor Jay Carr let out a deafening scream and slumped weakly to the ground


    as he covered his groin with both hands. “I will be with you the day you be a eunuch.” Eliza looked


    down at Jay and gave him a fierce re before she turned around and strode away haughtily.


    “Pfftt!” A distance away from Parson Media, Matthew was so shocked that he spat out all the water he


    had just drunk. “I had really thought that Aunt Eliza was enjoying a moment with her ex-lover.” Then, he


    looked into the rearview mirror and nced at the man in the backseat, who was busying himself with


    work. “Uncle Beau, I guess you can rest assured now? “All those rumors going around online are


    rubbish!”   The gloomy atmosphere in the car finally eased up. Beau’s well-defined profile was cold and


    elegant. “Catch up with her, Noah.” Noah wiped the cold sweat from his brows. “Okay.” “Stand right


    there, Eliza Lawson!” Jay mbered into the car with much difficulty, clutching onto the spot where Eliza


    had kneed him. He clenched his jaws and barked out an order to his driver, “Catch her!” Without a


    moment of hesitation, the driver sped up in an attempt to catch up with Eliza. She ran for her life.


    Jay’s driver was also his part-time bodyguard! There was no chance Eliza was going to stay there a


    moment longer! s, how could she outrun a car? Jay’s driver soon caught up with her. Just as he


    opened the door to grab Eliza, a ck Maserati pulled up beside Eliza. The window of the passenger


    seat was lowered, and Matthew’s face appeared. He called out to her, “Get in!” Eliza hurriedly rushed


    over, opened the door to the back seat, and hopped on. But Jay wasn’t about to let her off so easily. He


    angrily grabbed onto the backseat door. “Eliza Lawson! Get down here!” Eliza stuck her tongue out at


    him through the window. “Come at me if you can.” Jay red at her and said, “You better apologize right


    now. “Otherwise, you’ll never get the chance to be with me anymore. Not even if you beg! “I can snuff


    you out from the entertainment industry as easily as I can snuff out an ant!” As soon as he said that, a


    hand reached out from behind Eliza andtched onto her shoulders, grabbing her possessively. The


    window was wound down and the deep, cold voice of a man rang out. “Is that so?” It was a dark evening


    and without a light in the car, Jay could not see the man’s face. But the man’s domineering aura was so


    palpable that he could feel it from outside the car. He stiffened up briefly. “Who are you?” Jay did not get


    an answer to his question. Instead, all he got was an indifferent chuckle. “Mark your words.” With that,


    the window was rolled back up, separating them from the world outside. The ck Maserati sped away.


    Jay stood there in their dust, frowning in the direction the car left. ‘Who was that?’


    “How dare he put his hand on Eliza’s shoulder?’


    ‘Mr. Valentine?’


    ‘No way! “A psychopath like Mr. Valentine would never take Eliza as his wife seriously.’ ‘SO…’


    Jay narrowed his eyes as he pondered. ‘Eliza has another man?’ At the thought of that, Jay snorted.


    “Quit pretending to be so pure and innocent then.” ‘Eliza was already a wretched and filthy woman five


    years ago.’ ‘Some things just never change!’


    Jay thought to himself. The ck Maserati headed towards the Valentines’ vi after speeding off from


    Parson Media. “Aunt Eliza, do you need any help dealing with that person?” Matthew sat in the


    passenger seat scrolling through his phone as he said eagerly, “We saw him pestering you for such a


    long time. “Does he pester you as he did every day?”


    Eliza froze. “Have you… been here for a long time?” “Yes.”


    Matthew nodded. “I showed Uncle Beau the news and pictures circting online, so he decided toe


    to pick you up personally. “But when we arrived, we saw you with that man…” Eliza went motionless


    once again. ‘They saw all the news and pictures online?’ She thought. She subconsciously nced at


    the man beside her out of the corner of her eyes. Beau had his head lowered as he looked at theptop


    on his knees. He was silent and indifferent as if he did not hear the conversation between Eliza and


    Matthew at all. “You have no idea how dark Uncle Beau’s expression was.” Matthew went on.


    “Fortunately, nothing is going on between you and that man. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be surprised if Uncle


    Beau ends up turning Parson Media upside down today…” “Stop the car.” Before Matthew could finish


    his sentence, Beau spoke. The car rolled to a stop. Noah stopped the car nervously. Beau shut his


    laptop elegantly and said coldly, “Get out.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Matthew was stunned and turned around to look at him. “Uncle Beau, you… you want me to…” Before


    he could finish his words, the man in the back seat shot him a nce. Matthew frantically opened the


    door and got out of the car. “Let’s go.” The Maserati drove off again. The atmosphere in the car got a little


    awkward. Eliza fidgeted in her seat. Somehow, she felt that there was a need to exin herself. So she


    gave a light cough and turned to look at Beau. “About that… “Things are not as what’s written on the


    Inte… “I was just there to collect my script. I had not expected Jay to be there too. Then, the director


    wanted me to try my lines out with him, and I had no other choice but toply. That was how they got


    those photos of us together…” Eliza’s eyes were fixed on Beau, studying his reaction to her words. “I


    have long lost any feelings I had for him. “Don’t believe those…” Beau kept his head lowered as he


    continued typing away on theptop. “Will you still need to go through lines together tomorrow?” Eliza


    was stunned for a moment. “… think so.” The atmosphere in the car seemed to run cold for a split


    second. Eliza got a little flustered at the sight of his stern expression. “Um, I’ll try to stay as far away from


    him as possible tomorrow. “I have no control over what people are saying online…” “That’s not what you


    should be worried about.” Beau lifted his eyes and gave her a look. “You just kneed Jay in the groin.”


    Eliza suddenly came to a realization. She raised her hand and pped her forehead in despair. “He’ll


    surely take revenge on me tomorrow!”
