Chapter 24 An Unwanted Greeting
Before he could even tighten his tie, a shiver ran down Elianna''s spine.
"Please, let me exin. Our rtionship was aplete ident," she implored.
She rushed to rify, fearing that the loosened tie would turn into a noose, sealing her fate.
She babbled on about many things, carefully avoiding any mention of her deceitful identity.

Instead, she poured out herplex feeling to Asher. She loved him, but his betrayal had left her
infuriated and unwilling to ept it.
She didn''t fear Jefferson''s investigation; Ms. Gentry''s actions had already furnished ample
evidence.
Jefferson listened intently, raising an eyebrow. "So, you hold grudges because of love?"
"Yes!"
Elianna nodded, left with no choice but to agree.
Jefferson chuckled. "You should have told me the truth earlier. I could help you seek revenge."
Finally loosening his tie, he picked up his phone, dialing a number.
"Hello, Asher, are you avable?"
The voice from the phone sounded nervous yet eager to please. "Sure, Jeff! What can I do for you?"
Jefferson nced at the tensed-up Elianna and smirked. "Come to the lounge now."
Upon hearing this, Elianna clenched her hand.
After ending the call, she forced a smile and said, "You''re not nning to reveal our rtionship to
him, are you?"
"That would be too boring," He remarked dismissively.
Jefferson pushed her to sit on the sofa, leaned over, and held her delicate neck in his palm.
"Let him witness our imitate rtionship. Wouldn''t that be funny?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elianna''s dress was torn open, and the unraveling threads silently
twirling before sinking into the luxurious carpet.
Elianna understood what Jefferson meant.
Ignoring her exposed state, she grabbed Jefferson''s arm and pleaded, "Please don''t do this.
Anyway, I am Asher''s fiancée. We must consider the reputation of the Gentry family and the Larsen
family."
Jefferson lightly sniffed her neck and suddenly changed his position, gripping her waist.
Her vision blurred, and Elianna found herself seated on hisp, her legs gently spread apart.
A ripping sound came as the traditional-style dress couldn''t handle the strain.
Before Elianna could struggle, Jefferson chuckled meaningfully. "Why do you refuse my
assistance?"
"Are you deceiving me?"
Elianna froze.
If she refused, it would imply that she had carefully nned her approach toward Jefferson.
If she agreed, she would have to perform an intimate act with his brother, Asher, right before his
eyes.
Either way, she found herself in a deadlock.
After a brief thought, Elianna leaned against his shoulder, her voice soft andced with a silky tone.
"I do want to get revenge on Asher, but I don''t want to involve you. I understand you''re not afraid,
but it could harm your reputation."
Jefferson nearly burst outughing upon hearing her words.
These familiar situations reminded him of when she had previously left him, using the same
ridiculous excuse of needing to fetch a medicine box.
Without unveiling her true intentions, he teasingly remarked, "Such sweet words!"
Suddenly, his grip around her waist tightened. "But actions speak louder, my dear."
...
The temperature inside the room rose steadily, filled with an intense passion.
Outside the door, Asher hesitated, raising his knocking hand and then retracting it.
When Asher received the call, he hurried up the stairs, wondering why Jefferson had summoned
him.
"Did I do something wrong and offend him?" He kept asking himself.
Now standing in front of the door, was so nervous and anxious.
After a great internal struggle, he finally mustered the courage to gently knock on the door.
"Jeff? Are you there?"
"Jeff? It''s Asher. May Ie in?"
"..."
Behind the door, his brother and his fiancée rolled onto the narrow bed, caught in the midst of their
yful moment.
Upon hearing Asher''s voice, Jefferson chuckled softly and lowered his gaze to Elianna beneath him.
"Darling, the protagonist has arrived. Let''s greet him."
