“Then why not explain what made her angry? Why resort to vague insinuations instead?”
Eleanor watched the video and instantly lost her appetite.
On her way to the restaurant, she had seen numerous online reports about the jewelry. competition.
Many of them focused on her showdown with Zoey.
Apart from Zoey’s fans, many people had begun to support Eleanor.
Then, the accidental “like” incident happened.
Zoey was indeed cunning. She was trying to divert everyone’s attention.
Eleanor thought for a moment and immediately filed a complaint on the platform, requesting the removal of the misleading videos.
To her surprise, the platform’s response stated that there was no violation.
Frowning, she directly contacted a live customer service representative. After some back- and–forth, her clear and logical arguments left the representative speechless.
In the end, the representative left just one sentence.
“You’ve offended someone.”
The message disappeared right after.
Eleanor had no evidence, but she already understood.
No one else could have such power except Elijah
He gave her design drafts to Zoey, manipulated the competition results, and about online opinions affecting Zoey, he used her reputation as a shield.
In the past, after a single night, he had also used her to silence the rumors.
She used her hard work to open a shortcut for Zoey.
Now, he was doing it again.
now,
worried
Eleanor lost her appetite, set down her phone weakly, and turned to look out the window, feeling suffocated.

Across from her, Jaxen frowned. “What’s wrong? You look pale.”
Eleanor took a sip of water to steady herself. “It’s nothing, I’m full.”
This matter had nothing to do with Jaxen, and she didn’t want to drag him into it.

Jaxen gazed at her, then gently lifted his hand. “You’re all grown up, yet you still manage to get food on your lips.”
“What?”
Before Eleanor could react, his hand had already reached her face, softly wiping the corner of her lips
Eleanor was momentarily stunned but instinctively leaned away. “I… I can do it myself.”
“It’s been wiped clean,” Jaxen said.
“Thank you, Jaxen.” Eleanor wiped the corner of her lips again, then lowered her gaze and happened to notice the dress she was wearing. She hesitated before asking, Jaxen, this dress must be expensive, right? Can it still be returned?”
Jaxen paused for a moment. “The dress?”
Eleanor nodded and pointed at the dress she was wearing. “Yes, this one…”
“Hello, your red bean soup is here. Please enjoy. The waiter placed two bowls of red bean soup in front of them. The sweet, glutinous aroma was enough to awaken anyone’s appetite.

Especially in the deep autumn, having a steaming bowl of red bean soup brought warmth to the entire body.
Eleanor didn’t press further. Instead, she picked up her spoon and smiled. Jaxen, try it.”
“Okay.” Jaxen took a bite and stared at Eleanor’s smile for a long time, lost in thought.
After finishing their meal, Jaxen offered to drive Eleanor back to school. She didn’t refuse because taking public transport in her current attire would be inconvenient.
Before leaving, Eleanor couldn’t help but glance toward the innermost seat in the restaurant.
Elijah idly swirled the ice cubes in his glass with his slender fingers, his expression thoughtful and alluring.
The
upper half of his face remained hidden in the shadows cast by the dim lighting, making it impossible to discern his eyes.

She only felt that he was mysterious and terrifying.
Eleanor wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but as Elijah drank, his throat moving with each sip, she felt his gaze land on her.
Before she could react. Jaxen draped his jacket over her shoulders and, boldly, even turned to wave at Elijah. “Uncle Elijah, we’re leaving.”
Eleanor felt nervous for him, avoided looking at Elijah, and quickly pulled Jaxen away.
As soon as they arrived at the school, Jaxen’s phone rang.
It was his mother.
“Jaxen, I’m not feeling well. Can you come back and check on me?”
Jaxen frowned slightly. Only after Eleanor signaled to him did he slowly respond, “Alright, Mom.
After he ended the call, Eleanor immediately got out of the car.
“Jaxen, send my regards to your mom.”
“Okay. Call me if you need anything.”
After reminding her, Jaxen drove away.
Back at the Davis family estate, Jaxen walked quickly to the courtyard.
Entering the living room, he saw Monica reclining against a cushion, sipping tea.
“Mom, you’re doing this again!”
Jaxen sat at the other end of the table, his arms resting on the surface, looking displeased..
Monica set down her teacup and sighed. “I’m doing this for your own good. Things between Elijah and Eleanor are still unclear. If you stay this close to her, your grandfather won’t be pleased.”
Jaxen frowned. “Eleanor said there’s nothing between them, so there’s nothing. This matter is over!”
