Chapter 44 A Mind-Blowing Actress

• Elias shoved me to the wall in a rough manner. “A misunderstanding? I remember drinking with you during the cocktail party at The Winthrope shortly before I made a fool out of myself. If you weren’t behind it, then who else was? It was only later that I found out that you’re my sister’s love rival, which made sense for you to set me up!”
• I put on my best performance, trying to convince him of my ‘innocence’ with one of my weapons—puppy eyes. “Young Master Elias, I know Roy and I are married, but I live alone, so does that seem like I’m close to Roy to you? Furthermore, I’m a woman who has had a divorce, which means I’m likely the last person he’ll want to marry in the case he ever wants to remarry. Besides, I did nothing more than damage his item by accident, yet he took advantage of that by forcing me to marry him just so he could pull out from his marriage with the Spencers. Meanwhile, I’m just a nobody who doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of either the Spencer Family or the McGowan Family.”
