Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 304


    On the New Year’s Day, everyone in the house was ying fireworks in the garden downstairs. The


    butler, Susan, and Harold all surrounded Emily happily and said blessings to her. Maury rubbed Emily’s


    head and handed her a red envelope. Emily smiled and thanked him. Then, Maury gave the envelopes


    to the others one by one. The atmosphere was lit up in the garden. Elsie stood on the balcony on the


    second floor and watched, tears flowing down her cheeks silently.


    The New Year began, but Elsie had changed. She lived quietly in the house just for food and clothes.


    She did not dare to look at Emily, nor did she dare to meet Harold. She was even afraid to see Maury


    now.


    Even at night, she would be worried that someone would show up and drive her out of the house.


    Eliot finally called her after more than ten days, but Elsie refused in fear. She didn’t dare to call him


    back until she returned to her room and hid under the nket.


    Eliot had been running around for Beverly these days. Even if Beverly had done something wrong, she


    was his mother anyway. Eliot could not sit idly by and ignore it.


    He hadn’t contacted Elsie because, on the one hand, he wanted Elsie to cut off the contact with him so


    that Maury would feel better; on the other hand, he had been too busy. He knew that Elsie might be


    calling to ask about her mother. He couldn’t answer her questions, nor could he do anything, so he


    hadn’t answered her phone.


    Now he was just calling to ask how things were going at home.


    However, he didn’t expect to hear Elsie crying. Perhaps it was because her mother had been arrested


    and she was too scared.


    Eliot was about tofort her when he heard Elsie saying incoherently, “Emily is not retarded. She lied


    to all of us. She set mom up. She took the five million and had admitted it herself. Dad doesn’t believe


    me. Harold works for her, and so does Susan. Everyone in the family believes her. No one is with me.


    I’m so scared … She pointed a knife at mest time and I’m scared that she would suddenly barge in


    and kill me one night…”


    “Did you have a nightmare?” Eliot sighed and asked, “You should try to get along well with Emily and


    be nice with her.”


    “Even you don’t believe me?!” Elsie bit the back of her hand and tears rolled down her cheeks onto the


    phone screen. She took a few breaths before calming down. “I’m telling the truth. I swear that if I lied,


    I’ll be hit by a car when I’m out!”


    Eliot’s expression turned cold. “Would you stop hating her?”

    Then Eliot directly hung up the phone. Here quickly came Elsie’s call again. Eliot frowned and turned


    off his phone.


    He walked to the balcony and looked at the moon outside the window. He remembered that every time


    during the New Year, Emily would say blessings to him for lucky money. Her eyes used to be bright, like


    the stars in the sky.


    Eliot took out a red envelope in the shape of a rabbit and rubbed it in his palm for a moment before


    stuffing it back into his pocket. He hadn’t found an opportunity to give it to her.


    Eliot shook his head helplessly when he thought of what Elsie had said.


    He wondered if Emily was bullied by Elsie at home. What could he do for her?


    He turned on his phone again. He really wanted to call Emily, but he was worried that Maury would get


    angry. He had been resisting the urge to call her these days. He hadn’t contacted many people except


    for Elsie and Sydnee.


    It was a few days after the annual meeting. Sydnee had called and asked, “Do you want to borrow


    money or not? Tell me your card number.”


    No one had known about what had happened to the Britts back then. Moreover, Sydnee had just


    returned from Tea Manor a few days ago. She had called him because she had found in her bank


    ount that there had been five million and it had been from Harold.


    Eliot had not expected that the only one willing to help him had been a stranger. They had only met a


    few times, and they even had been mistaken as a couple for some misunderstandings.


    After moving out of the Britt’s, he had rent a single room for only five hundred a month. Then, he had


    begun to apply for jobs. Somepanies had arranged interviews for him, but they had kept asking


    him why he would leave the Britt Group. They had obviously been ying tricks on him.


    However, Eliot hadn’t been irritated. For only one week, the news that Eliot, the eldest young master of


    the Britt Group, had gone to look for a job had been spread throughout City Y.


    There was a smallpany that had been willing to employ him, but the sry was bad. Eliot thought


    about it for two days in the rental room, but he hadn’t received any phone calls from otherpanies,


    so he had epted the job.


    When he hade out of the Britt’s, he had had only two thousand with him.


    He was not looking for trouble, but after that scandal, he was unwilling to use the money of the Britts.


    From the moment he had known that he wasn’t Maury’s biological son, he had had the idea of buying a


    house on his own. However, he had quickly rejected it. He didn’t want Maury to think that he had had


    the idea of leaving the Britt’s long ago. He had even thought despicably that as long as it was well


    concealed, no one would know about the secret for another 20 years, when Maury would be old and


    the Britts could only rely on him.


    But the reality was so cruel.


    “No, thanks,” he said hoarsely.


    Sydnee was surprised. She could sense that something was wrong with Eliot as he sounded very


    gloomy. So she asked, “What happened?”


    Eliot didn’t want to tell her so he replied, “Nothing.”


    Sydnee could feel his fatigue and hung up the phone. She hadn’t found out about what had happened


    to the Britts until the next day, but Emily didn’t tell her anything.


    Sydnee guessed that it probably had been done by Emily.


    Although it was very weird, Sydnee just had this kind of intuition. She couldn’t help but wonder what


    Beverly had done to Emily.


    She did not expect to receive another call from Eliot in a few days.


    Eliot asked awkwardly, “Can you lend me some money?”


    Although the rental room was cheap, it was insecure. When he came back from the interview that day,


    he found that the door was wide open. Hisputer had been gone, and there were no other valuable


    items left. Even his clothes and shoes had all been packed away. There was only a broken basin left.


    At that moment, Eliot felt so depressed. Hey wearily on the bed, his stomach letting out a rumbling


    sound because of hunger. He had spent all his money on transportation apart from the rent. He had


    been having the cheapest buns for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And he couldn’t even afford the pure


    water. Every day he would boil the tap water and pour it into his cup, and then went to thepany for


    interviews. When the interviews were over, he would fill the cup with pure water in thepanies so


    that he wouldn’t have to boil the water again when he came back to his room.


    He had no money to take a taxi, so he could only walk over to see Sydnee the next day. In the park,


    Sydnee was standing in a small pavilion, waiting for Eliot. It was a cold day and Sydnee was wearing


    warm.. When she turned around and saw Eliot, she was surprised. She asked directly, “Aren’t you


    cold?”
