Chapter 21 He epted Other Woman
Jefferson tried to ignore her, but the voice calling out to him was too familiar. Involuntarily, memories
of her tearful calls flooded his mind.
And in that moment, Elianna, the woman at the heart of those memories, stood before him.
Her hair was elegantly coiled into a bun, and she was dressed in a pearl-white Chinese-style gown
with a high cor that partially concealed her neck.
At once pure yet seductive, she captivated their attention.
Albert discreetly furrowed his brows upon seeing Elianna. She had already rejected Jefferson once,
so why was she here again?
Jefferson, too, had doubts about her true intentions. He tugged at the corner of his lips and uttered,
"So... what brings you here, Miss Gentry?"
Despite the gravity of his question, the pause in his speech rendered it more ironic and piercing.
Elianna feigned the misunderstanding and replied, "Jefferson, my sister dropped by today and
wanted to greet you."
N, signaled by Elianna, approached Jefferson with a graceful stride and a demure smile.
"It''s great to see you again, Jefferson."
N said, looking up at him bashfully before quickly averting her gaze, exuding an undeniable
allure.
Jefferson raised an eyebrow in surprise but swiftly regained his teasing demeanor.
"Anna''s sister? What''s the matter?" he asked.
N smiled gently and stepped forward. "I have a matter I''d like to discuss with Jefferson, in
private," she said.
Jefferson chuckled, maintaining his yful tone.
His eyes, however, remained fixed on Elianna.
"Sure, let''s go upstairs and talk," he said, leading N away.
Elianna was stunned.
Then she mocked herself - she should have seen iting. Of course, Jefferson would ept
N...just as he had epted her.
Seeing Jefferson and N heading towards the upstairs lounge, Albert was shocked.
"What an absurd drama!" He thought.
He nced at Elianna, shook his head, and followed them.
In the blink of an eye, Elianna found herself left alone, as everyone else engaged in conversation
and clinked their sses.
Just as she was about to leave, someone called her from behind.
"Julianna!"
The word pierced through her fa?ade, sharp as a de.
Elianna tried to suppress her instinctive reaction and nonchntly picked up a ss from the tray
carried by a passing waiter, taking a sip.
When she turned around, she acted as if she had only just noticed Brett, nodding her head slightly
and smiling like a perfectdy.
Brett''s expression becameplex as he scanned Elianna''s face- surprise, suspicion, and scrutiny
flickered through his eyes.

Earlier at the party, he had briefly glimpsed Elianna and believed he was seeing Julianna.
But Julianna had passed away in Elfold a long time ago. How could she possibly reappear in
Oakpool?
Brett inquired with other guests and found out that this woman bore an uncanny resemnce to
Julianna, but her name was actually Elianna Gentry.
Could it really be possible for two individuals to be so strikingly identical?
Brett filled with suspicion, yet maintained a polite smile and asked Elianna kindly, "Miss, may I know
your name?"
Elianna''s tone was polite but aloof, "I am Elianna Gentry of the Gentry family."
Her ent didn''t possess the soft tone of Elfold; it was native to Oakpool.
Her every movement was different from Julianna''s-elegant, poised, clearly the bearing of a well-
educateddy.
Nevertheless, Brett remained guarded.
Elianna resembled Julianna too much - not just a resemnce, but almost the same!
Elianna''s heart tightened as Brett continued to scrutinize her.
She tried to steady her breathing, not wanting to appear too nervous.
Since she was already under suspicion, she took the initiative to strike back.
"Mr. Patrick, whom were you calling just now?"
Brett''s eyes shed meaningfully, "How did you know my surname is Patrick?"
