CHAPTER 23

When she left, He went crazy

Chapter 23 Wasn’t it bought with your money?

I was startled by Elissa.

I clumsily touched my earlobe. The blood had dried up. I only felt some scabs of dried blood..

As 1 touched it, my earlobe started to ache again.

My carlobe was bleeding, and I hadn’t even noticed.

Elissa slapped my hand. “You shouldn’t pick at it like that. Doesn’t it hurt?”

With that, she took out an iodine swab from her bag, tied up my hair neatly, and carefully disinfected it. “How did this happen?”

“Evelyn did it.”

1 briefly explained the situation to her.

Elissa kept cursing angrily, “She’s such a Bith. She’s like a QR code; you wouldn’t know what she is unless you scan her. The earring isn’t hers; how dare she snatch it. She’s like a reincarnated robber.”

“Why do you always curse in such an amusing way?”

After her tirade, my gloomy mood from the day improved significantly.

Elissa glared at me. “I have a friend like you. Of course, I had to learn how to curse.”

“Okay.”

I let her take care of my ear. She applied the iodine, which was cold but not too painful.

After Elissa finished, she commented, “Christopher really has a strategy. He just gave you earrings yesterday, and today, he’s already cozying up to Evelyn.”

She warned me, “You’d better turn this page quickly. Don’t let him confuse you again.”

“I’ve turned it.”

“You may say you’ve turned the page, but you’ve folded a corner in your heart,” she pointed out directly.

“Okay, okay,”

I shut down the computer, grabbed my bag, and pushed Elissa’s shoulder as we walked out. “We’re off work. Don’t you still need to take me to get the car?/After we pick up the car, I’ll treat you to whatever you want.”

The previous director had a straightforward and swift working style. Although his working hours could be exhausting, he rarely made anyone work overtime.

Ghapter 23 Wasn’t it bought with your money?

This good habit continued. Therefore, there were few people left in the public office area.

Elissa, in high heels, casually put her arm around my shoulder and said, “I’ll eat whatever you choose. You’re pregnant. I respect all your preferences.”

“I feel like having cheese fondue, the one we used to eat a lot during our college days.”

“Can you eat that?”

“I can!”

I had been craving it since noon. Afraid Elissa might refuse, I started to act pitiful. “I’ve been craving it all day. I had some roast beef for lunch, but I threw it all up. I’ve been hungry since then.”

“Alright, let’s go have fondue.” Elissa quickly agreed. Then, she gestured at my belly with her fist. “Once this little guy is born, I’ll give him a piece of my mind.”

“What if it’s a girl?”

“Then I’ll just have to spoil her!”

We chatted non–stop on the way to the car dealership.

Most of the topics revolved around the child in my belly.

I anticipated it, but Elissa seemed even more excited than me.

However, shortly after arriving at the car dealership, my hard–earned good mood vanished.

As we went to pay with the invoice, Elissa’s eyes were sharp. She glanced at two figures on the other side. “Isn’t that Mr. Valence and that disgusting woman?”

I was momentarily stunned. Following Elissa’s gaze, I realized she was referring to Christopher and Evelyn.

It was them.

Christopher looked aloof, with his hands in his pockets. He exuded a powerful aura that seemed innate.

From my perspective, his gaze was fixed on Evelyn.

What a well–matched couple!”

The salesperson smiled brightly. “Mr. Valence, this car is perfect for the lady; it is easy to drive and comfortable. Mrs. Valence will surely love…”

Upon hearing this, Elissa became instantly angry and was about to rush over.

I felt like crying from sadness, but I grabbed her. “Elissa, let it go.”

With Christopher supporting Evelyn, we wouldn’t gain anything by confronting them.

Chapter 23 Wasn’t It bought with your money?

So, there was no need to bother.

Elissa suppressed her anger. “Fine, let’s pay quickly and leave. Let’s stay away from them.”

After settling the bill, the service advisor led us to the car at the store entrance.

After days of repairs, the car showed no signs of an accident; it looked just like a new car.

“Wait for me. I need to use the restroom,” Elissa hurriedly walked towards the restroom.

I smiled and decided to sit in the car and wait for her.

As I got into the car, I heard a clear voice command, “I like that one!”

Regardless of which car Evelyn liked, it didn’t concern me.

I closed the car door. I wanted to wait for Elissa to come out and leave directly.

To my surprise, before Elissa came out, the sales consultant knocked on my car window.

I lowered the window slightly and asked impatiently, “What’s up?”

“Hello, here’s the thing. A customer wants to see your car. Is that okay?”

“I don’t want to see it; I want to buy her car, Evelyn said gently but with an authoritative tone. “We have money. Name your price, and any amount will do.”

The salesperson looked at me hesitantly. “Can you consider it?”

“No,” I refused directly. Immediately, I raised the window.

I had only had this car for a few days, and Elissa had already helped me install privacy glass. People outside couldn’t see inside.

But Evelyn wouldn’t give up. She walked over to my car in high heels. Ignoring whether I could hear her or not, she said condescendingly, “Madam, this is a great opportunity for you. You can buy a brand–new car with the money. Int that better? What a stroke of luck. Why don’t you seize the chance?”

“The same model is available in the store, but the color I want is sold out. I need it urgently. I believe you’re a reasonable person and would be willing to sell it to me.”

Evelyn knocked on the car window again, her voice gentle but arrogant. “Do you know who’s accompanying me in buying a car? He’s the CEO of the Valence Group! The whole company will be his in the future. What you’re selling me isn’t just a car; it’s his favor.”

“Ms. Valence,”

Suddenly, Elissa emerged from behind her, speaking sternly, “When will you stop this habit of robbery? You steal other people’s husbands at night and earrings during the day. Now you’re trying to steal a car. If there is a garbage truck, will you try to steal and have a taste of it?”

Chapter 23 Wasn’t it bought with your money?

“What’s your name? Evelyn was angry but momentarily couldn’t recall Elissa’s name.

“I’m Elissa Wilson, the wife of the Valence Group’s CEO’s best friend,” Elissa smiled. She deliberately raised her voice, staring at Evelyn and Christopher not far behind her.

The salesperson was momentarily stunned, excited to learn about the secrets of the wealthy.

Christopher’s cold face finally showed some emotion. He frowned slightly. “Where’s Hope?*

“This is hilarious,” Elissa mocked. Then she knocked on the car. “Ilope is stuck in the car by your ‘sister to force her to Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I took a deep breath and lowered the window again. “Elissa, get in the car. Let’s go.”
