Given that Alexander had always maintained an honest and upright image, not at all like someone
who’d he or deceive others, it was only natural that Eleanor began doubting herself. After all, the
events had transpired six or seven years ago. Who could still remember what happened back
then?
In addition to earlier, when Alexander had debunked the rumors and rified the situation, Eleanor
and Laly found themselves repeatedly embarrassed.
Hence, even when faced with the newest piece of shocking news, everyone instantly believed
Alexander, then turned their astonished gazes toward Eleanor.
“What does that mean?” Rnd was the first to react. “Are you suggesting the illness was a
sharn?”.
Alexander calmly observed Eleanor.
In a state of panic. Eleanor was at her wit’s end. She wanted to shake her head, but the
surrounding noise was so overwhelming that she could barely catch her breath.
“It was fake?”
“Indeed, I hadn’t heard about her falling ill. Even if it was kept under wraps, there should have been
some sort of news, right?”
“I only knew that she went abroad, and I heard she continued her studies there. Moreover, the
Smith family’s business was relocated along with her, and since then, they’ve focused on the
international
market.
“That’s what I heard too.”
“My goodness, I never expected the school belle to be this dramatic. She’s such a drama queen.
Now that I think about it, breaking up due to a serious illness and then going abroad, isn’t this just
like a plot from a
soap opera
“Unfortunately for her, Alexander refuses to act alongside her.”
“Then why did she choose to break up and go abroad in the first ce, acting as if she had no other
choice?”
“I have a hunch. Now that this lie has been exposed, we might just uncover the truth soon.”
The spectators were just like those eagerly awaiting the grand finale, their excitement focused
intently on
this table.
Isabe hadn’t anticipated that she wouldn’t even need to make an appearance, as Alexander
single- handedly dominated the entire scene. Upon hearing Alexander’s words, Isabe was utterly
stunned.
So he does know the truth! I wondered why he didn’t react at all before. Turns out, he expected me
to y along with his act and pretend I didn’t know. Tik, tsk..
Alexander could only admit that he had initially nned to turn a blind eye. After all, there was no
evidence, and whether she had been sick or not, it had nothing to do with him. She could spin any
tale she wished. But who would have thought that Eleanor would even attempt to manipte him
with a serious illness, trying to morally bind him?

This was a ssic case of reaping what one had sown.
“What on earth is going on! Eleanor, are you deceiving

Ines couldn’t help but blurt out. After all, being
as innocent as she was, she had been genuinely worried for Eleanor, even feeling extremely guilty
for not having made any effort to reach out to Eleanor after she had stopped contacting them.
Now that she heard it might have all been false, Ines was genuinely angry.
Deborah, who had not been particrly involved in the discussion, couldn’t help but express her
annoyance. “Eleanor, how could you have made up such a serious matter?”
Audrey’s brows furrowed in concern. Even though she agreed with Alexander, she couldn’t help but
voice her doubts. “Eleanor, could there be a misunderstanding? Lily mentioned that you’ve been
staying at a nursing home, right?”
Lily, who had long been driven to the brink of despair by the copse of her favorite couple, gritted
her teeth at that moment. It felt as if she was turning her back on her previous fan loyalty. She
suddenly reached out, gripping Eleanor’s arm as she demanded, “You were really sick, right? You
left because you loved Alexander too much and couldn’t bear to let him see you suffer, right? Now
you’re cured, and that’s why you came back to him, isn’t it?”
It seemed as if, with this sequence of events, Lily could still see a glimmer of hope for Alexander
and Eleanor to be together.
In this way, she could always stay by their side.
Eleanor knew she couldn’t admit to this. Her spreading false rumors in the past could be dismissed
as a show of affection. However, if she lied about being sick, her reputation would be utterly
ruined.
“Of course it’s true. How could I possibly make up a story about being sick? If I wasn’t ill, why would
I have broken up with Alexander?” Eleanor finished, quickly immersing herself back into the
emotional role, her gaze filled with despair as she looked at Alexander.
“I don’t recall any school medical check–up. I had my health examination with my family, and
that’s when we discovered the issue, After that, I had several confirmatory tests. During that period,
I took numerous leaves of absence and my mood was constantly low. Anyone who remembers
should know this. Perhaps… perhaps there was a mistake during the school’s medical check–up”
As Eleanor spoke, her voice grew more confident. “Moreover, it’s true that I spent a few years in a
nursing home. All of this can be verified. It’s just that patient confidentiality prevents it from being
made public.
Upon hearing this, Lily seemed to finally catch her breath. She then turned to Alexander.
“Alexander, you heard it. I knew you must have misunderstood Eleanor, thinking she was lying.
That’s why you treated her this way today. If you don’t believe it, you can check whether Eleanor
has stayed in a nursing home!”
Lily was absolutely certain about this. After all, she had also studied abroad in that country.
This rebuttal instantly shook everyone’s confidence. Could it really have been a misunderstanding?
Had Alexander misunderstood as well? Was that why he had been so ruthless toward Eleanor
today?
Is this situation really being turned around against all odds? Although it’s a bit of a stretch, I have to
admit that Eleanor’s resilience is truly impressive!
Alexander slightly furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected Eleanor to be so shameless, persisting
even at this stage.

Although there was a way to expose her lies once more the process was extremely tedious. He was
certain that it couldn’t be aplished tonight.
It seems that the only option is to force her to get a medical examination note. After all, the nursing
home is indeed highly private, only serving the aristocrats of that country Forn Alexander has no
way to investigate what’s going on inde. Fleanor was there at the time because she was nearly
engaged in a marriage alliance. She was intentionally there to take care of an elderly patient of that
family, hoping to win their favor, which was why she stayed there for so Jong However, this
marriage alliance was also dept a secret from the public for fear of sabotage, so everyone only
knows that Fleanor once stayed in a nursing home. Hut from a normal person’s perspective, who
would stay in a nursing home for no reason! Naturally, everyone would are the must have been
sick!

It had to be admitted that Eleanor was indeed very clever. However, she didn’t use her intelligence
for the right things. The actions she took were almost wless, leaving hardly any room for
mistakes. Yet, her encounter with Isabe, who was a glitch in her ns, led to hef predicament that
night.
It seems this is as far as we can go..
Isabe felt a twinge of disappointment, as if she had just watched a bad drama.
Everyone was also filled with doubt, wondering what the truth really was.
Seeing that Alexander remained silent, Eleanor finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wondered if
there really had been a medical check–up that led Alexander to suspect she was lying, thus
exining his antude that night. Perhaps it wasn’t that he no longer cared about her.
Eleanor still harbored illusions in her heart, so she couldn’t help but look at Alexander with a pitiful
gaze. “Regardless of anything else, at the very least, I broke up with you because I loved you… I…
I’m not the type to use love as an excuse, only caring about binding someone to me regardless of
their feelings…
The expressions of everyone subtly shifted.
Oh, so you’re taking a jab at me now, huh? Feeling confident because you think you’ve won, and
now you’re nning to bite back? Believe me, I can have you sent to the hospital for a check–up in
an instant!
Before Eleanor even had the chance to y the victim and stir up emotions in an attempt to salvage
her image, she found Alexander looking at her with a gaze that was practically icy.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
His assistant quickly picked up the call.
Alexander stated directly, “Get in touch with Grace Nursing Home in Astoria for me.”
