The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 236

The next morning, Eliana went to work as usual, as if nothing had happened.

As soon as she arrived, whispers began following her.

“I think it was her who spoke to the reporters about Eli yesterday.”

“It looks like her. I don’t know her, but I didn’t expect that she would be so vindictive.”

“It’s probably best to stay out of her way…”

Eliana couldn’t refrain from replying when she heard these comments. She turned around and sneered, “Yesterday, when I was drowning, none of you came to save me. But now, all of you are talking about me. If I had died, none of you would have escaped punishment. You’re all murderers.”

The whispers stopped. No one dared to even look at Eliana again.

They only slandered her behind her back.

Eliana turned away and saw Eli walking towards her.

The negative public opinion of him did not seem to affect him at all. He had a sunny smile on his face, but his words were not pleasant to Eliana.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a strong character. Why didn’t you refuse to pick up the diamonds yesterday? Did you know that Maurice would come to save you?”

Eli was kidding, but Eliana exploded with anger.

“Eli, you must have misunderstood. I did not fetch the diamond bracelet because of your oppression.”

“Why then?” Eli asked, confused.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Do you know how many people have put their heart and soul into making that diamond bracelet? The designer dreamed up the design and then countless craftsmen labored to make that design a reality. You only see an expensive object. I see the hard work of everyone behind it. You shouldn’t have made fun of their labor.”

Eliana’s words were powerful enough to make Eli feel a little ashamed.

All he had thought about was how he could use the diamond bracelet to force Eliana to resign.

“I’m sorry,” Eli murmured.

“What?”

Eliana thought she must have heard him wrong.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made you pick up the diamonds. I apologize.”

Eli’s sincere expression surprised Eliana.

Eliana had been prepared for an argument, but Eli had apologized so quickly.

“By the way, here are your sketches. I saw them and picked a few sets that can be used today.”

Eli took out several sketches from behind his back and held them out to Eliana, who accepted them in a daze.

“By the way… I can tell you put a lot of effort into these.” Eli’s ears went red and he turned away. He left in a hurry.

Eliana was now alone and confused.

What was up with Eli? Why was he suddenly treating her so well?

Before Eliana could try to unravel this mystery, she had to focus on her work.

During her break, she remembered that she still had Maurice’s clothes. She texted Corbin.

“Corbin, are you free now? I can give you Maurice’s clothes.”

Eliana didn’t want to see Maurice, so she hoped Corbin would accept the clothes.

Soon, Corbin replied, “I have asked Mr. Moran. He said that if you want to return the clothes, you should come and give them back yourself. If you don’t want to come, you can simply throw the clothes away.”

Eliana had expected this response.

“I’ll bring them to him after work.”

So, she had no choice but to face Maurice.

Eliana was in a daze.

“Eliana, come here.”

Eli’s voice came from the lounge.

Eliana put her thoughts aside and walked into the lounge.

Eli was wearing a vest that revealed his powerful arms and striking figure. He didn’t usually dress like this.

Many women would be drawn to his masculine charm.

Eliana’s eyes landed on Eli’s neck.

The ruby ring!

“Help me change my clothes. This outfit is not good.”

Eli handed his coat to her. For a moment, Eliana was too absorbed to react.

Eli followed her gaze to the ring on his neck and laughed. “Is this so important to you? You can’t take your eyes off of it.”

“Yes, it’s very important to me.”

Eliana nodded enthusiastically.

“If it’s so important, why did you lose it?” Eli asked.

Eliana was at a loss for words.
