Chapter 312 Hand Over the Video
Gregory's somber eyes fixed on her, without saying a word.
Elaine felt a bit uneasy under his gaze, and a sudden sense of foreboding arose in her heart.
Sure enough, the next second, Gregory took out his phone and dialed a video call.
The call was quickly answered, and Rowan and Juniper appeared on the screen, looking excited. "Mr. White, you're so kind to find us such a big house. Thank you so much!"
"Yeah, we've never lived in such a nice place in our entire lives!"
"Rowan, Juniper? Where are you?" Elaine's eyes widened in disbelief.
Rowan and Juniper became even more excited when they saw her. "Elaine, we came to Aramore. The people here really look down on and belittle others. They despise us for our lack of education and skills. We couldn't find any jobs, but thanks to Mr. White!"
They originally had stable jobs.
Although they still lived in the countryside, even without finishing elementary school, Elaine had used her connections to find them stable jobs.
But the couple was greedy. One was a school principal who often accepted bribes, used connections, and embezzled school funds, and was recently fired.
The other one worked as an accountant in a government office and couldn't even do multiplication.
They frequently made mistakes and altered records.
All these years, they hadn't been caught because Elaine had been covering up for them.
Recently, Rowan and Juniper's luck turned bad, and all their foolish actions were exposed.
They were supposed to go to jail, but Elaine saved them in the name of the White family.
Elaine had promised to help them find jobs, but after living comfortably in the countryside for over twenty years, they looked down on ordinary jobs.
They either complained about low wages, lack of extra benefits, or that some jobs were too hard.
Elaine was worrying about how to find them jobs when Gregory found them first.
Seeing Rowan and Juniper being deceived, Elaine felt a headache coming on.
"Gregory, what exactly do you want?" she asked.
Gregory's lips curved slightly. "Hand over the video, and I'll let them go."
Elaine gritted her teeth. "In your dreams!"
"Then Rowan and Juniper can forget about staying in Aramore. It's your choice," Gregory said.
Elaine pressed her lips tightly, not wanting to hand over the video.
If she really handed over the video, she would lose all her leverage. Not only would Gregory likely not let her off, but even Stephen would divorce her.
Gregory looked at the screen and said, "Rowan, Juniper, you see. I wanted to introduce you to jobs, but Elaine is unwilling."
Rowan and Juniper were instantly furious. "Elaine, how could you be so wicked? What good does it do you if Juniper and I can't find jobs?"
"Rowan, Juniper, let me explain," Elaine said.
"We don't want to hear it. Anyway, we don't care. We're very satisfied with the jobs Mr. White introduced to us. You figure it out!"
With that, they hung up the call.
Elaine opened her mouth, looking at the disconnected call, feeling a wave of frustration in her chest.
"Gregory, why won't you let me go?" Elaine demanded.
Gregory sneered. "Then why won't you let Stephen and Michelle go?"
Elaine gritted her teeth. "What do you know? Michelle is a slut, a promiscuous woman who seduced Stephen! I'm the victim here. Not only are you not supporting me, but you went ahead and married Abigail!"
