Billionaire Heiress' Revenge Game のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Marcia's expression changed as she turned to see two familiar figures: Alan, and the woman clinging to him, who wasn't Kate.The woman in Alan's arms was clearly well-made up, her heavily powdered face appearing exceptionally pale under the lights. She wore a pink dress, looking sweet and innocent, but there was a hint of seduction in her eyes.Seeing Alan stare intently at Elijah and Marcia, the woman appeared puzzled about their identities. "Alan, let's go eat! Didn't you say today is a special good day?"Marcia clenched her fists beneath the table, unable to contain her anger. That "special good day" was the anniversary of her father's death!Alan cleared his throat and pulled away from the woman, approaching Elijah. "Sir, I apologize for last night. I hope you can forgive me."Elijah's cold gaze showed no warmth. He pursed his lips and replied flatly, "I don't know you. You've interrupted my meal with my companion."Alan's expression darkened, and he shot a menacing look at Marcia

As Marcia stepped out of the restaurant, Andrew was already waiting with the car parked at the entrance.When he saw Marcia wearing Elijah's jacket, he pretended not to notice, not even glancing her way.Yet, this pretense made Marcia feel even more uncomfortable.She instinctively tightened the jacket around her, catching a faint whiff of Elijah's cologne, which made her heart flutter."Patricia, you won't need to attend the meeting later," Elijah said."Why not?" Marcia asked, her large eyes filled with confusion as she looked up at him."Go home and change," Elijah replied calmly.Marcia's expression shifted slightly. "What about the meeting notes?""There has more than one secretary," Elijah said, frowning slightly. "Are you really going to attend the meeting dressed like that?"Marcia paused, lowering her head in response. "Understood, sir."The car fell into a heavy silence.As they neared Azure, Elijah finally spoke up, "Andrew, take her back to the villa, and come back to pick

By the time Marcia returned to the villa, it was already dark outside.She opened the door and cautiously made her way toward the guest room, but just as she reached for the doorknob, the room lit up.Elijah's deep, magnetic voice came from behind her. "What are you sneaking around for?"Marcia turned quickly, feeling guilty. "Sir, you're back!""Of course. What time do you think it is?" Elijah replied coldly, but his eyes brightened slightly as he looked at her. "So, were you out on a date?"Marcia lowered her gaze, tugging nervously at the hem of her dress. "You're just joking.""Oh?" Elijah replied, but then asked, "Have you eaten?"Marcia nodded, recalling she had grabbed a quick bite before coming back.Noticing her nod, Elijah's brow furrowed ever so slightly. "You did eat?"Marcia blurted out, "Sir, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"Elijah shot her a glare, sounding impatient. "How could I? There are plenty of people lining up to treat me to dinner. I'm not going hungry!"

Elijah changed into comfortable clothes, and the two went downstairs together."Eli... you came to Liverpool and didn't even tell me?" As soon as Nicole saw him, she leaned against him like a limp doll, ignoring the awkwardness of Marcia behind her.Elijah furrowed his brow but didn't push her away, responding coolly, "Even I didn't tell you, you found out anyway, didn't you?"Nicole giggled behind her hand, a look of triumph on her face. "Of course! Who do you think I am?"Her eyes darted around until she caught sight of Marcia's uncomfortable expression.A glimmer of triumph appeared in her eyes as she cheerfully grabbed Elijah's arm, pulling him back to the sofa. "Eli, why did you let Patricia move in? People might misunderstand!""No one will misunderstand," Elijah glanced at Marcia. "After all...""Ha, after all, everyone knows you don't think highly of her, right?" Nicole interrupted, laughing. "People should know their place; don't take yourself too seriously!"Elijah's frown d

"Alan, I'll give you one last warning: don't mess with Patricia. She's mine, and you can't handle the consequences!"Marcia's heart raced as she turned to look at Alan, who appeared pale, his lips almost white.His eyes were filled with a mix of shock and anger, jealousy flickering in his gaze as he watched their closeness.Elijah ignored Alan, looking down at Marcia with a gentle but resigned expression. "Cia, let's go home together!"He reached out his hand, and though Marcia's palms were slightly sweaty, she smiled back at him and nodded earnestly. "Okay."Alan could only watch as they walked hand in hand toward the villa. From behind, they looked like a couple in love...But as they left the park, Marcia instinctively pulled her hand away, feeling awkward. "Sir, thank you, but why are you out so late?""Hmm? Thank me for what?" Elijah replied, his brow furrowing in confusion. But when he saw the seriousness in Marcia's eyes, a smile crept onto his lips. "I came to take you home!"
