Free Web NovelChapter 1295: Chapter 1294: Masterfully Tricking Eliana Beckett, All’s Fair in Deception!
The subordinates were all startled by this scene.
Madam and Miss, this is...
"Aunt Beckett, Jasmine grew up by your side no matter what, why are you doing this to her?" She was angry, and even her way of addressing her became distant.
Eliana Beckett didn’t speak, just waved her hand to signal the people beside her to leave.
Only after the subordinates had all left.
Did she walk up to Eva Nightingale and say sternly, "You’re being outrageous. You’re questioning me because of her? Let me ask you, the Bennetts’ hopes are all pinned on you, and you’re getting so close with the Imperial President from the Sovereign Empire... even, in a relationship?!"
Of course Eliana Beckett couldn’t just charge in with people and fight her way through to snatch someone back. Using Jasmine as a knife was currently her best and most convenient method.
Three years ago.
Sebastian Yansford was the one who brought her back from the Sovereign Empire.
Just think about it, if Eliana Beckett hadn’t kept her here back then and let her go back... would she be living even worse than before now?
In the past, Eliana had never interfered with whatever Eva did. Just this one thing... If Eva went back there, wouldn’t everything from three years ago be exposed?
Those things from three years ago, Eliana had hidden them for so long because she didn’t want her own daughter to know. She absolutely didn’t want any problems at a time like this.
"..." Eva was really angry. "Mom, Jasmine is covered in injuries. Even if it’s to make me come back, you don’t have to go this far!"
She wasn’t exactly a good person, but she wasn’t that bad either. Besides, Eva had always felt protective of Jasmine.
Jasmine did it all for her, hiding things from Eliana and ending up enraging her. Now, Eva couldn’t let Jasmine bear the pain alone.
Back then, Eva had thought things might be exposed, but she hadn’t expected it to happen this fast.
"Miss, Madam..." Everett Beckett rushed over from a distance, afraid Eva and Eliana would start a fight, so he hurried to advise her, "Miss, Madam just misses you too much. She’s doing it for your own good. Please don’t blame Madam!"
"Everett, who said you get to speak here?" Eliana Beckett snapped at him and shut him down.
Eva was clearly a little at a loss. This was her own mother, someone you could never reason with. But she had an idea... She remembered that she had met Victor Gale when she had just "gotten married."
Uncle Victor had been really good to her.
Back then, when she "got married," he had given her an Amethyst Necklace and even left his number.
Seeing how domineering Eliana was being right now, probably only...
...
Eva was sent back to her room by Everett Beckett.
The first thing she did was find her phone and dial Victor Gale’s number. "Uncle Victor... my mom misses you! Do you want to come over and hang out tonight?"
She knew Victor Gale’s aura was overpowering. Even if he didn’t do anything, just sitting next to Eliana would be enough to crush her into a soft little woman in seconds.
After three years, this was the first time Eva realized this whole "one thing subdues another" dynamic actually existed!
On the phone, Victor Gale was on a business trip, attending a business banquet. He was extremely surprised to get Eva’s call. After a brief pause, he finally spoke. "Mm, okay, I’ll come over right away."
Mm, okay, come over right away?!
Eva covered the receiver and almost burst out laughing!
Damn!!
Boss Victor, Uncle Victor, your efficiency is just... damn... absolutely unmatched!
He didn’t even ask her a single question and just straight up agreed to come over to see Eliana!
Are they really just ordinary friends?
As far as she could remember, this was the first time she’d ever set up Eliana. She had no choice. Usually she was the most doted on, but that was useless in front of Eliana, she even got threatened by her. Eva had no choice but to think of Victor Gale!
"Uncle Victor... you’re coming over right now?"
"Mm, I’m on my way now."
