Chapter 531 How Would You Live In The Future?
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, how would I dare to lie to you, my queen!"
Eliza reluctantly believed it and was brought back to Graciana's home.
After Graciana became a manager, her salary was not bad. She saved up her money and bought an apartment with the down payment. After that, she had to pay the loan for two years.
Although the apartment was not big, it was decorated very well and felt like a home.
After entering the door, Graciana talked to Eliza.
"Go sit on the sofa first. I'll get you some drinks."
Eliza nodded. She had just walked into the living room when she heard someone press the doorbell.
Eliza saw that Graciana was busy in the kitchen, so she went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a man squeezed in from the outside and pushed Eliza very hard.
"B*tch, why did it take you so long to open the door?"
The man's tone was very rude and his actions were very rude.
Eliza was stunned. She held onto the entrance to stabilize her body and tilted her head to look at the man.
This man was about 40 years old. He was a little fat, and obviously, he was not a good guy.
Eliza remembered that she had known Graciana for so many years and had never seen her family. She even rarely mentioned about her family.
"Uncle, who are you?" Eliza asked coldly.
Only then did the man realize that she was not Graciana. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a long time. "Are you Eliza? Did you ask Graciana to be your slave and make her not even want to go home?"
What was he talking about.
Before Eliza could get a clear answer, Graciana had already heard the movement at the door and rushed out of the kitchen.
"Why are you here?"
"Who told you to come? Get out!"
Graciana's tone was filled with horror and anger as she pushed the man out forcefully.
However, she couldn't push him away at all. The man shouted at Graciana, "You dare to drive me away? Graciana, I am your father! Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning if you treat me like this!"
"My dad is dead! Who do you think you are? Get out of here! Don't force me to call the police to arrest you!"
"You wicked girl, you've grown up. How dare you call the police to arrest your father? I'll beat you to death!"
Graciana had only pushed him for awhile but she was slapped by the man, and five fingerprints appeared on her face in an instant.
Eliza's pupils dilated and she hurriedly stepped forward to help.
With a flip of his hand, the man let out a scream. Eliza took advantage of his pain and pushed him out of the door.
Graciana took the opportunity to close the door.
After being thrown out, the man was still unwilling to give up. He slammed the door wildly at the door and scolded them.
"Graciana, you're able to live independently now. That's why you won't even recognize me!"
"If I had known you were such an ungrateful person, I would have strangled you to death when you went to my house!"
"I sold the house to treat your mother's sickness! Now you treat me like this. Do you have any conscience?"
"You and your mother only know how to make me lose money! Now you turn your back on me when you're rich!"
"B*tch, you are as cheap as your mother! Why didn't you die at that time?"
"..."
The man's voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the whole community.
The scolding became more and more dirty. In the end, there was even foul languages and Graciana's face turned pale.
At first, Eliza was only listening in silence, but in the end, she really couldn't help it. When she wanted to go out and beat him, she was suddenly grabbed by Graciana.
"Don't go!"
Eliza pointed at the door and couldn't help raising her voice to ask, "You just let him scold you like that?"
Graciana bit her lower lip, her eyes full of pleading.
Eliza's lungs were about to explode with anger.
Having known Graciana for so long, she had always been very happy. If she hadn't come here by coincidence today, she wouldn't have known that such a thing would happen to Graciana!
"Graciana, come out here! I'll beat you the crap out of you today!"
The man was still shouting at the door.
Eliza couldn't help but roll up her sleeves.
"Don't go! There must be a lot of people watching outside. You're a popular celebrity now. What if you are photographed?"
"I don't care!"
"But I care!!"
Graciana said in a hurry, "Once has scolded me enough, he will leave soon as he knows that I won't talk to him. But if you continue to be entangled with him, the scene will be very embarrassing! There is no need to talk to people like him."
Eliza's chest rose and fell uncertainly. She was angry and distressed.
"Then tell me honestly, who is he?"
Graciana opened her mouth but did not make a sound.
"Is he really your father?"
"He's not!!"
Graciana loudly denied that she really didn't treat the man outside as her father.
"Then why did he say he's your father? Could it be..."
"He is my stepfather, but..." Graciana felt a little embarrassed. "But when my mother followed him at that time, she didn't get the marriage certificate with him, so..."
Therefore, he was not her step-father.
Then, Eliza couldn't understand why Graciana was so afraid of him since they weren't related by blood and they weren't in the legal sense.
"You owe him money?"
Graciana shook her head crazily.
Since she was a teenager, she had been doing odd jobs to earn her living expenses. After she went to college, she had been working in the movie studio as an extra for a long time. She had basically never spent a penny of his money. She had always been independent.
"Then did your mother use his money to see a doctor?"
"No! My mom used her own savings to see the doctor!"
"Then why are you so afraid of him? After I go out and beat him, he won't dare to pester you again!"
"No! You don't understand!" Graciana grabbed her arm and begged bitterly, "I will tell you everything in the future, but don't quarrel with him now. Just take it as I beg you!"
Eliza fell into silence after hearing this.
Perhaps, as Graciana said, there were still many secrets behind this matter. Even if she wanted to help Graciana, she had to consider her feelings.
"Okay, I won't ask first."
"But you can't let him scold you like this all the time, can you? How can you continue to live here if your neighbors hear it?"
Graciana smiled bitterly, touched her face, and said, "Anyway, my reputation is almost ruined."
Eliza calmed down for a few seconds and suddenly reacted.
"You didn't agree to be with Julian just because of him, right?"
Graciana lowered her head and said nothing.
Eliza's blood pressure soared wildly. "How long has he been pestering you? Did it start when you broke up with Julian?"
Graciana hesitated and nodded vaguely. "Almost."
"Graciana! Such a big thing happened, but you didn't tell me! Do you still treat me as a friend?"
"Eliza, calm down first." Graciana grabbed Eliza's hand. "I treat you as a friend! It's just that you encountered a lot of things at that time, and I don't want to make trouble for you. What's more, I didn't suffer any physical harm, as long as I ignore him."
