Chapter 289 - Coercion 1

Maury was extremely calm. He extended his hand to Lily and said, "Let me see."

At this moment, Beverly suddenly reached out for the test sheet, "No! Maury, listen to me. That's fake! Elsie is your daughter! I can swear!"

Maury pushed Beverly away against the door. He read the test result carefully, word by word.

Only now did Lily realize that she guessed correctly. The man standing beside was really Beverly's husband.

She smiled delightfully, and said harshly, "Are you panic now? Go ahead. Why do you stop swaggering like just now?"

Beverly glared at her and then turned around to hold Maury's arm, "Believe me, please. Besides, we are here to discuss the details of a project. You misunderstand...."

Daniel also calmed down after a while, "Mr. Maury, let's calm down and talk it out. We've been framed today...."

Before he could finish, Maury punched Daniel's chin. Daniel staggered a few steps. Before Daniel could hit back, Maury punched him again and entered the room. There were still jackets and shoes scattered in the room. Beverly stood up in fear and was about to run away. But she was choked by Maury.

"What project requires you to take off your clothes?" Maury asked slowly. But he clutched with great strength. Beverly could feel that the hand around her neck was tightening. The fear of death made her face pale.

"Help me!" Beverly reached out to Daniel and shouted in fear, "Help!"

Daniel didn't want to care about her, but he couldn't bear the humiliation of being punched twice by Maury. So, he turned Maury around and punched him.

Beverly escaped when Maury loosened his hands.

Seeing her husband was punched, Lily grabbed Beverly's hair and slapped her twice, "You bitch! How dare you to seduce my husband!"

Beverly shouted in pain. She just escaped with great difficulty, and now she was grabbed by Lily and slapped twice. Then, she immediately forgot all the nobleness and elegance of a lady and started to tussle with Lily like a shrew.

This was what Eliot saw when he rushed over. The hotel security guards probably saw it on the surveillance cameras as well. So, they sent a few people to help. And those people arrived shortly after Eliot.

Although the security guards did not know the four people, they did know Eliot. After all, Eliot came here many times from the appointment to the holding of the annual meeting today. They knew he was the general manager of the Britt Group.

The security guards greeted him and then headed to the corridor.

But Eliot raised his hand and stopped them, "Excuse me, can I handle this?"

The security guard said with a smile, "Of course you can, Mr. Eliot. But you may need to hurry up. Our boss is still waiting."

Eliot nodded and handed each of them a pack of cigarettes. He smiled gently and said, "The annual meeting will begin soon. Enjoy yourself there."

The security guards took the cigarettes with joy. And they thanked Eliot politely.

After the security guards left, he turned around and put on a serious look. He walked step by step to the Room 2099. Maury had already seen someone there. He knew it was Eliot, so he stopped. After fighting for a while, he was already tired. He entered the room to find tissues to wipe his running nose.

Daniel was about to leave, but his wife was still being beaten by Beverly. He tried to stop the fight but was scratched by the two women's long fingernails. Instantly, a bloody scar appeared on his face.

He pulled Beverly up with anger and shouted, "Enough!"

"She hit me! Why didn't you pull her?" Beverly shouted at him with messy hair.

Just as Daniel was about to speak, his wrist suddenly hurt. He was pushed away fiercely. He raised his head and saw Eliot looking down at him coldly.

Maury just went out and saw Eliot. He pointed at Daniel and said, "What cooperation does he have with our company? Cancel it quickly. No matter how much the penalty is, don't cooperate with this kind of person again."

Eliot had guessed what would happen here before. He didn't expect that his father would catch his mother dating another man in such a place.

This totally shamed him.

"Dad, the annual meeting begins," Eliot said plainly.

Maury picked up a messy piece of paper on the ground and handed it to him, "Forget about the annual meeting. Take a look at this first."

This was Daniel and Elsie's father-daughter DNA test report.

Maury did not notice that the moment Eliot took the report, Eliot's face suddenly turned pale. And when Eliot saw that the examinee was Elsie, he let out a breath secretly.

When he saw the result, he frowned slightly. Obviously, this report was fake.

Elsie was indeed his father's child. He had investigated about this.

Beverly hid behind Eliot and pulled his sleeve, "Eliot, tell your father that this is fake. Someone framed me. Elsie is your father's child."

Eliot wanted to grab her shoulder and question her. What about him?

But he restrained himself and lowered his head to say to Maury, "Dad, grandpa is still waiting down there. There are so many employees waiting as well. Today is very important. These things..." He tilted his head to look at Daniel and said angrily, "I'll deal with them later."

Maury looked at him. Perhaps the DNA report influenced him, he felt Eliot's face was so strange.

He began to suspect everything. And he didn't realize that his gaze had changed.

Eliot raised his head and saw that gaze. He instantly lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly and didn't say anything.

Maury looked at him for a long time, and he took out his phone and dialed Harold, "Come here." After hanging up, he said to Eliot, "I'll handle this."

Eliot knew that Maury didn't believe him anymore.

Beverly stood on the side in embarrassment, holding Eliot and said, "Eliot, listen...."

Eliot shook her off coldly and said, "Shut up!"

This was the first time he looked at Beverly with a cold gaze and spoke to her like this.

Beverly was too shocked to say a word for a while.

Lily had been ignored by everyone since she stood up. She looked at Daniel and said mockingly, "I always wondered why you socializing in daytime. It turns out you're out to meet your lover..."

Daniel became furious, "Shut up!"

Lily was irritated. She pointed at Beverly and said, "No! I'm going to say it! If you dare to do so, you need to bear other's criticism. Is this your reward for what I've done for you so many years? You cheat on me with a married woman! Why this old and married woman?"

Ever since Beverly saw Eliot, she calmed down. Even if Lily pointed at her now, she had no strength to fight back. Her cheek was burning because of those two slaps, as if reminding her that all of this was not a dream.

No, it shouldn't be like this.

But how did things turn out like this? She had no idea at all.
