“Do you really think I'm an idiot? If I find leverage on Tyson, he'll just want to kill me even more!” “That's where our deal comes in.” Eliza said, “After you get the leverage on Tyson, I want you to tell me what it is. I am the daughter of the Sue family. Tyson wouldn't dare do anything to me. If anything happens to you at his hands, I will make this leverage public. At that point, Tyson can forget about having a good life. But as long as you are Mrs. Hayes for a day, I will keep your secret for that day. This is a system of checks and balances. Nolan doesn't want a conflict with Tyson either. In the future, we won't interfere with each other and will live in peace.” Hearing what Eliza said, Elaine's heart wavered. Just then, Eliza heard the noise outside. She grabbed Elaine's arm and said, “Ms. Elaine, you don't have much time to think. Once people discover you and I were alone together, Tyson will definitely not trust you. He might move up the wedding date, get the Lynn family assets as soon as possible, and then put you under house arrest. When the time is right, he'll make his move. You don't want to die a miserable death at Tyson's hands, do you?” Looking into Eliza's eyes, Elaine asked, half-convinced, “You'd be kind enough to help me?” “I told you, this isn't about helping you. It's about helping Nolan. It's mutually beneficial. What's wrong with that?” Listening to Eliza, Elaine wavered. At this moment. The footsteps outside the door grew closer. Hearing the sound, Eliza immediately grabbed Elaine's arm. “No time. Ms. Elaine, put on a show with me.” “Okay, I'll do it.” In that instant, Elaine agreed. She understood perfectly that if she didn't do as Eliza said, her fate would be exactly as Eliza had described. In the corridor, a crisp slap from Elaine landed on Eliza's face. “You think you can steal Nolan from me? I'm telling you, whoever I, Elaine, marry, he will be the future head of the Hayes family!” Just as Elaine finished speaking, the lights in the entire corridor suddenly flashed back on. Julio had found them, but he was stunned to see Elaine pulling Eliza's hair, her eyes filled with malice.Eliza's face was pale. “Elaine! You are already Tyson's fiancée! What exactly are you trying to do!” “Do? Why, send you to hell, of course!” Seeing Elaine's hands wrap around Eliza's neck, Julio immediately rushed over and pulled the two apart. “Ms. Elaine! Ms. Rivers! A misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!” “What misunderstanding? Your Ms. Elaine was about to strangle me to death! Didn't you see?” Eliza's face was flushed. Elaine really hadn't held back. It looked like she genuinely wanted to strangle her. If Julio hadn't arrived when he did, or if Elaine had used a little more force, she could have died right here. “Ms. Rivers, I'm truly sorry. Ms. Elaine didn't mean it. I'll apologize to you on her behalf.” “On her behalf? I don't think that's necessary. Since Ms. Elaine can't stand the sight of me, let's just cut off all contact in the future. I'll go tell Nolan right now.” “Ms. Rivers, why be so angry?” At that moment, Tyson also walked toward them. He had likely heard the commotion. He walked to Elaine's side and pulled her behind him. “Ms. Rivers, Yiyi's personality is sensitive. You know she fell ill over Nolan before, and her mental state hasn't fully recovered. She was just being impulsive.” After speaking, Tyson looked at Elaine behind him and slapped her across the face. The blow made half of Elaine's face sting. She was too stunned to even react. Tyson said, “Do you have any idea what kind of occasion this is? Who gave you permission to act crazy here!” Elaine bit her lip hard. But Eliza was relentless. “The power went out. I kindly came to find Ms. Elaine to tell her to be careful, and who knew she would try to kill me on sight. Don't tell me you taught her to do this?” Seeing Eliza targeting Tyson, Elaine deliberately said, “It was me. I couldn't stand the sight of you. It has nothing to do with Tyson.” “You shut up!” Tyson shot Elaine a cold glare. If he had known this woman would cause him this much trouble, he never would have brought her to the family banquet. “Is that so? Then I really must ask Nolan if I did something to offend Tyson, for him to hate me this much.”After dropping this parting shot, Eliza turned and walked back toward the reception hall. Tyson glanced at Elaine, who was still stubbornly refusing to look at him.
