A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire -
Chapter 37 The Evidence Appears
Seeing such a chaotic scene in front of her, Eliza felt a little nervous. She was not used to such a ruckus. What's more, she was the protagonist in this drama.
She lowered her head and clenched her fists.
Her breathing heaved because of how angry she was.
She took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions. She did not want to look weak in front of them.
She suppressed her churning emotions and asked, "May I know your name?" She had to be polite.
When the man who was causing trouble heard that, he was stunned. He rubbed his chin, and it seemed like he was thinking of something.
"Call me Mr. Kidd."
"Mr. Kidd, since you claim my work to be plagiarized, then please do provide me with some evidence. If not, you are just slandering me. I can choose to call the police and ask them to deal with this matter." Even though Eliza was petite, she was quite imposing.
Her words more or less calmed down the noisy people at the scene.
Indeed, Eliza was only 22 years old, and she looked younger than her age.
When she stood in front of others, her big eyes were filled with anger and grievance.
It did not look like she was pretending. Moreover, the man who claimed that she was using plagiarized work had not given them any evidence yet.
Judging by her bold and confident look, it did not seem like she was lying. Everyone started to have second thoughts.
If she did not plagiarize but was still questioned by everyone, then the people among the crowd would feel pity for her.
Just like that, the scene quieted down a little.
However, the man in a suit and leather shoes was unmoved. It seemed like he was determined.
"Why must I have the evidence? As long as you kneel down and apologize to me, destroy your work, and promise that something like this will never happen again, we can call it a day. Why must you embarrass yourself?"
It seemed like he was trying to persuade her, and every one of his words implied that her work was not original.
Eliza knew that she was the original creator of the work, so she would not waver.
"If you have evidence, then take it out now. Otherwise, if you don't, please apologize for what happened just now." Eliza spoke calmly. Her attitude was firm.
Mr. Kidd suddenly laughed. These words were exactly what he wanted to hear.
"Okay, fine. I just remembered where I have seen it before too. I will make a call now, and ask someone to bring it over here."
Eliza was not afraid. It seemed like he was very confident, but he was obviously slandering her. How could he get any evidence?
She did not know what that man was up to. Besides, she was not in a rush, so she could afford to waste their time.
There were too many twists and turns in this situation. For a moment, everyone looked at each other and did not speak. There was a strange atmosphere in the hall.
At this time, a colleague came out of the office. That person was Lina, her partner. They were considered quite close.
She must have heard about the situation there, which was why she came out to cheer on Eliza.
Lina said, "Everything will be fine. It must just be a misunderstanding."
Lina grabbed her hand and started to comfort her.
Eliza smiled back as a way to reassure her.
That group of people waited there for a long time. The sun outside was getting hotter and hotter. However, the number of onlookers did not decrease, rather, it only increased. This was probably the first exhibition held by the company with so many people visiting.
Eliza laughed.
She looked at the manager with a straight face, but she did not say anything. It was impossible to say that she was not disappointed. The way the company handled things really disappointed her. Since something like this happened, no matter how it ended, she probably wouldn't want to stay there any longer.
Time slowly went by, and the onlookers started to discuss the matter among themselves.
This time, they pointed at that man.
"Do you have any evidence or not?"
"Stop wasting our time, if you really don't have any evidence, then apologize to this young lady!"
The protests surrounding them got louder and louder, but Mr. Kidd was still calm and composed. It was like he could not hear them.
"Mr. Kidd, if you have no evidence, can you give me an explanation?"
Seeing how much time he was wasting here, even Eliza couldn't take it any longer and started getting impatient. It was almost noon, and she was hungry.
"Don't worry. What's wrong? Do you feel guilty? While the evidence has not arrived, you still have a chance. As long as you kneel down and shout 'I was wrong' three times, I will consider this matter to be over. What do you think?"
She did not want to talk to the rogue anymore. She looked away, as she did not want to see the vicious expressions on his face either.
Just as everyone was starting to get impatient, the evidence everyone was waiting for appeared.
It was exactly the same as her design!
How could that be possible!
As Eliza looked at the draft in front of her, she was shocked!
The Deleon family had lunch early on this day.
Tanner did not have an appetite, so he put down his silverware. Seeing that he was done, Raelyn stopped eating too.
Mckenna noticed that the two of them had finished eating, so she did not stay any longer, she hurriedly nagged Tanner to bring Raelyn over to see the doctor.
At about half-past eleven in the morning, a limousine set off from the Deleon's and headed for the unknown mountain.
Tanner was forced by his grandmother to take Raelyn to this mountain for treatment. Originally, he wanted to call Eliza to tell her, but Raelyn was already a sensitive topic between them. He did not want to be the one to bring up the topic.
Fine, he would come back sooner so that she would not let her imagination run wild!
Along the way, Raelyn seemed to whisper something in his ear. Sometimes, it was about the things she saw abroad, other times, it was the scenery outside.
Since Tanner had known Raelyn since they were young, and that she was Eliza's sister, he only replied politely. He endured the feeling of boring while subconsciously, he missed Eliza. Whenever he thought of her, Mr. Deleon's temperament would turn gentle. Even he himself would not realize it.
Raelyn, who was fully focused on him, naturally noticed the slight change in him.
When she saw the warmth in his eyes, she became alert at once.
Throughout the journey, he had never even looked at her. Sometimes, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Other times, he would just look out of the window in a trance. To get his attention, she had tried everything. The only thing she got from him was his perfunctory response.
If so, then why was there such gentleness in his eyes? Was it for Eliza?
Raelyn was nervous. After considering it for some time, she let it go once more.
If that was the case, then she should pretend to be ill for a tad bit longer in the mountains...
But she was greatly reluctant. Why! Eliza was worse than her in every aspect. How could she win his heart!
However, even if she was so angry that she could clench her hands until they bled, Raelyn still acted as if she was filled with positive affection.
Tanner did not notice Raelyn's peculiarity. Indeed, Mr. Deleon did not need to pay attention to anyone's thoughts... Apart from his little wife, no one else mattered.
"Tanner, we are here!"
Raelyn's soft voice pulled him back to reality.
By the time he looked up again, there was no more emotion in his deep eyes.
He opened the car and got out.
Tanner checked his watch, it was almost 12:30 p.m.
They were now at the foot of the mountain.
There was no one there, nor were there any road constructions. The car could not go any further.
"Tanner," Raelyn called him sweetly while she held his arm with her slender hands.
Tanner withdrew his arm quietly.
He said in a low voice, "Come on."
Raelyn gritted her teeth. A conniving glint flashed through her eyes. After that, she followed suit.
The mountain road was rugged. It seemed like all the so-called famous doctors liked to live in such places. It was said that it made them seem sincere, but in fact, they just wanted to appear inscrutable. Tanner walked steadily in front, followed by Raelyn and a few bodyguards.
Everything went well at first, but after a little while, Raelyn's body could not stand it anymore.
"Tanner, slow down. I can't keep up!"
She frowned. Her face was pale, and even her breathing was unstable.
Upon hearing her words, Tanner stopped in his tracks.
He turned around.
He did not look at her. The outline of Raelyn's face was similar to Eliza's, especially when she lowered her head slightly just now. At first glance, he almost thought that Eliza was the one following him from behind.
It had only been a while since they had last met, but he was already starting to miss her.
Tanner was in a daze as he watched Raelyn slowly walk towards him.
"Tanner, you should know that my body is not in good health."
Raelyn pouted.
"Can you... let me hold you for a little while?"
Raelyn's cold hand grabbed his big and warm hand gently.
Tanner did not say anything. He only stared at her for a while. It was as if he wanted to see through her to see the person he was longing to meet.
Raelyn looked at his handsome face, her eyes full of obsession.
However, it was not the best timing. At that moment, Tanner's satellite phone rang.
He always carried a satellite phone with him. It was a habit he had developed since he was a child, to prevent himself from falling into a situation where he was out of touch with the outside world.
Even though Tanner did not tell Eliza that he was taking Raelyn to the remote mountains to see a doctor before he left, he still told his assistant Fran about it, and he even asked him to send someone to follow Eliza in case of any accidents.
Now that his phone was ringing, it meant that something had happened to Eliza.
Tanner was a little anxious, but he did not show it. Raelyn was right beside him, and he did not forget what Eliza had begged him as she cried the night before.
She told him not to tell Raelyn about them, which was why he had never mentioned it.
If this was what she wanted, then so be it.
He picked up his phone calmly and spoke in a deep voice.
"What is it?"
"President, Madam seems to be in trouble," Fran said anxiously.
"Speak."
"Her design has been accused of plagiarism."
"Our men have been watching the scene in the crowd. At first, the accuser did not provide any evidence, so we thought it was just a misunderstanding. However, a design which is exactly the same has appeared, that is why we called you."
"I will be right there. Investigate this matter and replace out who is behind this."
Tanner's tone was unyielding. On the other end, Fran shivered.
"Yes."
The call ended, and Tanner's expression was still the same, but the aura around him was getting fiercer.
Whoever dared touch his wife was courting death!
After asking the bodyguards to take Raelyn to the mountain top, he was about to walk down the mountain alone.
"Tanner!" Raelyn hurriedly stopped him. There was grievance in her peach blossom eyes. "Aren't you going with me?"
"Something happened in the company. I have to go now."
Tanner walked down the mountain without looking back.
Watching him hurry down the mountain, Raelyn clenched her fists. She absolutely did not believe that the company's affairs could make him panic this badly.
It must be that b*tch, Eliza. In order to prevent Tanner from being alone with her, she deliberately made some trouble!
She was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity!
