Chapter 22 - Tricks

Marquise immediately headed in and shut the door. Leaning against the door, he explained, "Wait. There must be a misunderstanding. You asked me here! I...."

Before he could finish his words, Elsie shouted, "Get out!"

"No, you asked me here. A lot of people are outside, so I can't go out now...." Seeing that Elsie was about to scream again, Marquise quickly covered her mouth. "Please, I don't know anything. Can you stop shouting and put on your clothes first? We should go out after the guests leave...."

Suddenly, the door was opened.

And guests outside saw Marquise covering the mouth of the Elsie. And Miss Elsie wore nothing but her underwear...

Since it was Elsie's birthday party, many of her high school and college classmates were invited, including Eliot's classmates and business partners. Most of the guests present were young. Seeing such a hot scene, they couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

Covering her face, Elsie let out a scream.

Her reputation was totally ruined!

Her life was ruined! Everything was ruined! Damn it! She wanted to kill him!

Beverly hurried over as she heard the noise. But she almost fainted when she realized what had happened. She spat, "What are you looking at? Get out! Shut the door!"

In the study on the third floor.

The air seemed to have frozen. Eliot put something on the desk as he narrowed down his head.

"Emily damped my document that day. I got a new copy in the company and found the bid price was changed."

"I thought it was just my negligence."

"But I just found this in Elsie's savings jar."

"The first tender."

Maury rubbed his eyebrows, having a headache, "Handle it at your will."

Eliot nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Maury ask, "Do you think your mom knows?"

"I ... I'm not sure."

"Alright, just go."

The moment the door of the study opened, a scream came from downstairs.

Maury got up at once, "What's wrong?"

"I'll go down and take a look!" Eliot strode out. With his long legs, he soon reached downstairs.

He thought that something had happened to Emily. Beyond his expectation, it was Elsie who got into trouble.

When he arrived, a lot of guests were gathered at the doorway of the lounge. Standing in a distance, he saw his classmate, Marquise, covering Elsie's mouth. It seemed that he was going to ****...

Eliot plowed his way through the crowd as Beverly was about to close the door.

"Eliot, you come at the right time. Hurry up and get them all out...." Before she could finish, Eliot headed to Marquise and grabbed his collar.

"Bastard! How dare you touch my sister?"

"No! It's a misunderstanding! Your sister said that she was looking for me, so I...."

At the door, Sydnee and a group of guests who had seen what had happened all turned to Emily.

"Elsie asked me... to bring ... him over...." Emily sobbed. "Did ... did I do wrong?"

The penny dropped.

Elsie was the thief who was crying "stop thief".

Their gazes at Elsie were immediately changed. Especially the male guests, they rejoiced in not being chosen. As for the female ones, they were totally in shock.. Elsie appeared to be so gentle, and they totally didn't expect her to be like this.
