He took a step back, turned around, and lit a cigarette. There was an indescribable emotion gathering in his dark silhouette.
“There’s clothes in the closet.”
Eleanor didn’t think much of it and opened the wardrobe to slip into a white dress.
But in her haste, the zipper got caught on the fabric, refusing to go up or down. She awkwardly shifted her position, trying to fix it.
“I’ll do it.” Elijah suddenly moved closer to her back. As his masculine heat enveloped her, Eleanor clenched her fists, forcing herself to stay composed.
As his fingers brushed along the zipper on her back, deliberately yet casually making contact with her skin, she couldn’t help but swallow.
After the zipper was fixed, Eleanor tilted her head down, only to notice a necklace had appeared around her neck.
“What is this?”
“Just an accessory for the dress,‘ Elijah replied indifferently.
Eleanor picked up the pendant, feeling the smooth emerald stone resting in her palm.
Every inch of the color was perfectly balanced, and the shape of the pendant flowed naturally, as though it had grown directly from the stone itself.
The color, the clarity, and the delicate craftsmanship were undoubtedly worth a lot.
No one would give such expensive accessories to a dress.
Eleanor admired it, but she didn’t want to accept anything from Elijah.
“Elijah, I…”
“Shh.”
Eleanor reached to take it off, but Elijah stopped her hand, silencing her.
At that moment, a commotion started outside the door.
Eleanor was slightly stunned. She didn’t expect it to happen earlier than she had imagined.
In the banquet hall.
A few minutes ago, Zoey invited the guests to watch a birthday video she had made.
But when the screen was turned on, it unexpectedly switched to a surveillance camera. Under the dim and ambiguous lights, two figures were surging on the sofa.

The woman’s soft and enticing voice tempted the man: “Mmm… after you divorce Mandy, you must marry
me! Ah…
“I’ve been playing nice with her just for you! Once we secretly take the key designs from her studio, she’ll be left with nothing but an empty company and a faded face…”
“Stop, be gentler. The woman lowered her voice, moaning softly.
The man responded roughly. “Do you think I’d be happy if I was gentle? Don’t worry, if it weren’t for how profitable the studio is, I wouldn’t have waited this long. I’ve wanted to marry you, young temptress, for a long time.”
The woman wrapped her arms around the man passionately.
As they shifted positions, the man’s face was suddenly illuminated by the light.
It was Mandy’s husband.
Everyone looked at Mandy in shock.
At that moment, Julian cleverly appeared next to Mandy, displaying a shocked expression.
“Ms. Whitney, how are you here? I clearly saw you go to the lounge in Room 6 just now,” Julian said.
Hearing this, the crowd quickly pieced the information together.
Mandy had been here all along, and the only person who could have been mistaken for her was Eleanor, who was dressed exactly like her.
Zoey covered her mouth in disbelief. “The person in the camera is Eleanor. How could she do something like that? Especially after Ms. Whitney has praised her so much!”
Mandy slammed her drink down in anger and stormed toward the lounge.
Everyone quickly followed her.
Eleanor hid behind the door and watched the commotion outside through the peephole.
Mandy walked in front and stopped aggressively at the door of Room 6.
When she was about to knock on the door, Zoey immediately interrupted her.
She lowered her voice and said, “Ms. Whitney, if you knock, you’ll give them time to clean up. At that point, there will be no evidence left. You’re so good to Eleanor, yet she still treats you like this. Do you still want to let her have some dignity? I don’t even feel it’s worth it for you, so I specially brought the key to the lounge.
With that, Zoey stuffed the key into Mandy’s hand.
Mandy couldn’t contain her anger. The thought of her husband and her own employee conspiring behind her back, putting on a show in front of her, shattered her remaining composure.
In a fit of rage, she spun around and quickly opened the door, storming inside.
The people inside had no time to react, and the room was filled with frantic screams,

Eleanor pressed her ear to the door, but she couldn’t hear anything from inside. The tension was
unbearable.
Behind her, Elijah slowly moved closer to her ear, his voice low and laced with a faint smirk. “Aren’t you going?”
Eleanor, too focused on the situation, didn’t notice how close he was. She murmured, “How did they get here so quickly?”
“Are you planning to wait until they’re done? That wouldn’t be any fun.”
His breath brushed against Eleanor’s cheek, causing her skin to flush. In a panic, she turned, her lips. grazing his cheek and then meeting his mouth.
In an instant, Elijah’s gaze deepened as he wrapped his hand around her waist.
Pressing his lips to hers, he said in a low voice, “It was you who initiated this.” “No…”
After a few seconds, Eleanor quietly stepped out of the room while no one was paying attention and stood at the back of the crowd.
Through the slightly ajar door, the man’s dark silhouette could be seen. He leaned against the wall and raised his hand to wipe the bloodstains from his lips.
