Chapter 751 Chester Sued You
Eliza was embarrassed to say it, but Sawyer was much more shameless than her.
Seeing that Eliza was hesitating and unwilling to speak, he took her place and said, "It's not Braint and the others. It's the one in her belly."
Luca was stunned, and it took him a long time to react.
"Are you pregnant?"
Eliza nodded with a red face.
Luca's face changed greatly. He looked at Sawyer and Owen's faces and asked Eliza nervously, "Who is the father of the child? How could you... Even if you want to be with him, you have to wait until you've settled Beau first."
"Although I didn't like Beau, that kid was quite sensible. He was always filial to me. He..."
Luca spoke incoherently, but Eliza understood.
She rolled her eyes speechlessly. "The child belongs to Beau."
"Is the child Beau's?... ah?" Luca was originally angry and wanted to get even with the man named Beau. After he reacted for a while, he remembered who Beau was and immediately closed his mouth.
Eliza was speechless. "Who else could it be other than him? Do you also think that I'm the kind of person who's good at fooling around?"
Luca closed his mouth. Of course, he didn't believe it, but it was said on the Internet that no one came out to clarify it after the matter had been blown out of proportion. He just...
Well, he misunderstood.
"I'm sorry, child. I was wrong."
Luca obediently apologized to Eliza.
Eliza was angry and didn't say anything.
Luca said worriedly, "You can't keep this child."
Eliza frowned. "Why can't I keep it?"
"What do you think? Beau is dead now. It's hard enough for you to raise three children for him. With another little devil, how can you live your own life in the future?"
Eliza was speechless.
On the other side, Beau, who had been monitoring Eliza's movements through the earrings, was speechless.
He was speechless. All the things he had given Luca before out of filial piety were in vain.
It turned out that his two father-in-law didn't want Eliza to be with him at all.
It wasn't that they didn't want him to be with her. Perhaps it was because they had accumulated too much dissatisfaction with him, so they wanted to take Eliza home and enjoy her happiness. It would be best if they could find a son-in-law to marry her and serve her for the rest of his life.
Although he could understand his father-in-law's love for his daughter, Beau still felt jealous.
While he was feeling jealous, Eliza had already said with an expressionless face, "Dad, in my life, there is only one man, Beau."
"It's not necessarily the same in the future." Luca said, "Child, you're still young, and there's infinite possibility."
Eliza, "He will be the only one in the future."
"You..."
"Dad, you just came back from abroad. You must be tired. I'll ask someone to take you to wash up and rest."
Her words were enough to let Luca understand her emotions.
Luca sighed and said to Eliza, "You silly child. He's dead. Why are you still so stubborn?"
"He is not dead."
Luca was speechless.
You can't deceive yourself.
Eliza didn't want to say anything more to him. She glanced at Sawyer, and he immediately understood.
"Luca, let's go. I'll take you to rest. Give me your luggage."
He glanced at Lyric and reached out his hand to her.
Lyric glanced at him and silently handed the luggage to him.
Sawyer immediately laughed like a flower, and he looked so stupid.
Lyric looked away, afraid that she would be infected by his stupidity.
"Let's go, Luca."
"You, alas!"
Luca sighed and was taken away by Sawyer.
Owen was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
Lyric didn't leave.
Eliza knew that she had something to say, so she rushed Owen to rest. When only she and Lyric were left in the study, she said, "Lyric."
"That's not what Luca meant."
"I know. He's worried about me."
However, Eliza still couldn't forgive him. He kept saying that Beau was dead just now.
Therefore, she didn't want to treat Luca with a bad attitude, so she arranged for him to leave first.
Lyric nodded and started talking business with her.
"Chester sued you."
Eliza sneered. "For?"
"He claimed that you cheated on your husband, and in order to steal Beau's property, you worked with your lover to kill Beau."
Eliza was stunned.
After a long while, she asked, "And who's this lover of mine?"
Lyric didn't say anything for a long time.
Eliza looked at Lyric in confusion.
Lyric cleared her throat and said, "Sawyer."
"Puff—"
Eliza almost spat out a mouthful of water.
"Sawyer? He's my brother!"
"No blood relationship."
"He's still my brother!"
Lyric had no expression on her face. "We know, but outsiders don't."
A primary school classmate who didn't have any blood relations suddenly became Eliza's older brother. Everyone didn't think that the two of them were innocent at all. On the contrary, they felt that Sawyer was Eliza's lover.
Because it was Chester who personally leaked the news, coupled with Eliza's brutal behavior at the memorial ceremony, everyone felt that this statement was very credible.
Now the Internet was full of voices against Eliza, and there were even excited netizens who directly called the police.
They said that they wanted to thoroughly investigate Eliza.
Of course, the police wouldn't arrest her for no reason. Moreover, they had already investigated the matter of Beau falling off the cliff.
But if the netizens continued to make trouble like this, she couldn't guarantee that the police wouldn't come to Eliza.
This time, Chester was determined to ruin Eliza's reputation, so he was ready to go all out.
Eliza only felt that it was absurd.
The five slaps did not only fail to wake him up, but also made him more aggressive.
Eliza sneered and said, "Then let him sue..."
Just as Eliza was about to say that she was going to retaliate, she heard Lyric say, "This won't do. Why don't I announce my relationship with Sawyer and help you block it first?"
Eliza, "What?"
"Although I really want you and Sawyer to have a good ending, there is no need for you to stand in my way for such a thing."
Eliza said earnestly, "Have you discussed this with Sawyer?"
"There's no need to discuss it. He might be happy to be able to protect you."
"Of course, he would like to expose his relationship with you, but he wouldn't want it to be exposed like this."
Lyric remained silent.
Eliza said, "Do you sincerely want to be with him?"
Lyric hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.
"You don't want to?"
"I don't know."
Eliza looked at Lyric and did not speak for a long time.
Only then did Lyric speak out the truth. "I don't know if I should trust him. I'm very tired. Perhaps we should keep our distance, but..."
She still wanted to give them a chance.
Trying to be together with him. If she felt that they were not suitable for each other, they could break up again.
Eliza looked at Lyric and nodded after a long while.
"I got it."
"You may try to be together, but... I don't want you to be together for me."
"Eliza..."
"What's more, even if you make your relationship public, even if you announce that you'll marry him the next day, those netizens will think that we are guilty. Or, Sawyer is fooling around with me behind your back."
"Under the guidance of the netiznes, even if you and Sawyer make your relationship public, we will only have one more victim, and that will give others another reason to attack me."
Lyric was silent. She admitted that Eliza's words were correct.
