Chapter 140 Eleanor Is Alive
Michael was already in a foul mood, and Daniel's babbling only made him more annoyed.
"What's going on?" Madison asked. She had been having a rough time after a string of unsettling events. What now?
"Oh, this isn't just any incident. Last night, Ms. Ryker and Ms. Aubrey Logan had a fallout. Ms. Ryker threatened to send the destitute Ms. Aubrey Logan to some wealthy young guys for their entertainment..."
Madison cut in with a grave expression, "Didn't this happen last night?"
"Yes, Mrs. Moore, it did happen last night. So, Aubrey's sister, Hailey was unable to stand by any longer and went to the press this morning to release a voice recording. Here, listen to this; it's the voices of Mr. Ryker and Mrs. Ryker." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Daniel played the recording.
"Are you sure she's not Eleanor? They look so alike."
Gabriella said, "Absolutely not her. We've tested her; she is not allergic to lilies. Besides, Eleanor's face was severely scarred by Caroline, which is beyond repair. No surgery could restore such a flawless face."
"The fire lasted for a whole day and night, and even metal was melted. Eleanor must have been turned to ash; how could she possibly be alive?"
With a grim face, Timothy said in a heavy tone, "Let's hope it's not her. Michael and Caroline had revealed the truth to her before she died. If she's alive and returns, she'll definitely seek revenge."
"Dear, you're worrying too much. It's been six years. With the formula of Fragrant Pill, we have more money than we could spend in a lifetime. Trading her life for our lifelong wealth was her honor."
"These idiots!" Madison was shaking with anger.
She turned to Daniel and said angrily, "What are you waiting for? Get this news taken down immediately, no matter the cost."
Daniel was also anxious for he depended on Michael for money, and he didn't want any trouble for him. He replied, "Mrs. Moore, I'm trying, but our public relations team failed to pull down the news. With so many netizens speaking up for Eleanor, the personal information of Mr. Moore and Caroline has been exposed."
Michael broke the chopsticks in half furiously.
His face looked livid, and he knew Eleanor was behind all this.
She had returned for revenge.
Madison looked at her son with worry and said, "You never listen, do you? I warned you not to get involved with Caroline's murder of Eleanor. You ignored my words, and now everyone knows about your betrayal and affair with Caroline, and even the fire that was supposed to have killed Eleanor has come to light."
"If any evidence is found out, your life will be over," she said while feeling a severe headache.
She rubbed her temples, and her face turned pale.
Michael looked at Daniel and said coldly, "Get the car ready. We're heading to the Rykers' mansion."
"Right away, Mr. Moore," Daniel replied and went to start the car.
Madison asked as she looked at her son, "What's your plan?"
Michael sneered and had a malicious plan. Looking at his mother's pale face, he was more furious and said, "Mom, you don't need to worry. Stay home and rest; I'll clear our names."
Madison nodded and suggested, "There's a recording from back then. You could use it to leverage against the Ryker family."
Michael said, "Give me the recording, Mom. Caroline is responsible for what happened back there, and I had nothing to do with it."
Madison felt relieved and nodded. Given that everyone was for his own interest, she said, "Remember, it's all on Caroline. She seduced you; you're a victim too."
"And don't bring up anything about Eleanor's mother. Her background is a mystery, but her identity is definitely not simple."
Now, even thinking about that woman made Madison shiver.
"But I always feel Gabriella knows something about Eleanor's father."
Michael narrowed his eyes and replied, "That's 20 years ago. Who would bother bringing it up? And if Eleanor had a father, he'd likely be dead by now. otherwise, Eleanor wouldn't have been a target of the Ryker family." Michael wanted to get rid of Eleanor for good.
This time Eleanor wouldn't just let things go.
After sending the recording to her son, Madison reassured him, "Don't worry, Mike. You have me, and a dead person can't cause much trouble."
Michael smirked, gazed at her, and asked in a playful tone, "But what if Eleanor isn't dead?"
"What?" Madison was startled and asked, "Mike, you had someone set the fire to kill Eleanor, right? How could she be alive?" Clenching her hands, she sometimes felt unsettled by the darkness she saw in her son.
But Madison couldn't deny the resemblance between her and her son.
With a mischievous smile, Michael declared, "Eleanor is alive!"
He left the dining room with those words.
Madison was shocked. Alive? How could that be?
In the hospital...
Eleanor had seen the news exposed by Hailey.
It's said that those with nothing to lose are fearless, and what happened to Aubrey had pushed Hailey to play her trump card.
The summer breeze was gentle, and sunlight shone on the floor.
Eleanor's hair fluttered in the breeze, and she looked radiant and charming.
There was a smile in her eyes.
"It looks like everything is going according to your plan."
The cold, detached voice seemed to carry a multitude of emotions.
Eleanor turned to find Sebastian, who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Why do you always show up so quietly?" she protested because that was creepy.
Sebastian's handsome looked a bit annoyed as he replied, "You were just too absorbed in your own world."
In the past, he was always the center of attention among women. Yet, he felt himself almost invisible to Eleanor.
She acted as if he didn't exist.
He paid attention to her even while working, but she hardly ever seemed to notice him.
Eleanor put her phone aside and asked, "I can be discharged now. Shall we go back now?"
Eleanor got out of bed to put on her shoes and felt refreshed and energetic after a good night's sleep.
After staying at home for a few days of rest, she would be as active as ever.
"Yes! Let's go back now," he said. He also had many tasks awaiting him, and the most urgent was to find the mother of Elijah.
This had been delayed for too long.
Suddenly, Nathan's cheerful voice came from the doorway, "Ellie."
He stepped into the room, with a captivating smile on his handsome face.
Sebastian cast a cold glance at Nathan, his expression turning instantly sour.
What was this guy doing here again?
"What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked angrily.
Nathan's smile faded slightly as he coolly retorted, "I'm here to pick Ellie up from the hospital."
The sight of Sebastian's annoyed face made Nathan satisfied!
Eleanor was at a loss for words. Nathan was quite the troublemaker.
"Get out!" Sebastian said directly.
He was especially impatient with Nathan, who relished competing with him in everything since their childhood.
Just seeing him was enough to irritate Sebastian!
Nathan approached Sebastian, looked down at him, and said with a teasing smirk, "Sebastian, have you gotten shorter?"
Hearing this, Eleanor rubbed her temples as they started their usual quarreling as soon as they met. It was enough to give anyone a headache.
