Chapter 89

Robert felt a shudder run down his spine at Aidan’s words - there was no way that Eliana could survive such a brutal predicament. “What are you hesitating for, Robert?” Aidan scoffed as he noticed Robert’s hesitation, “Had that woman bribed you or something? You’re not even listening to me, are you? You know what? If you don’t want to do it, fine - you can pack up your things and leave this instant.” “Second Young Master, please calm down,” Robert immediately replied, “I’ll arrange what you’d asked of me right away.” He then left and went to the basement with two bodyguards, who untied Eliana as soon as they got there. Robert lunged forward to shake Eliana, “Miss Harvey, can you hear me? Miss Harvey, please, wake up.” he urged. Just then, Eliana slowly opened her eyes, “It wasn’t me…” she murmured. Robert sighed in relief as he instructed the bodyguards, “Take Miss Harvey out of here.” He then personally drove Eliana to the Wonderland Clubhouse. He called Travis on his way that to get him to arrange for a female doctor to see Eliana’s wounds. … Eliana stirred awake after she had her wounds looked at - “Where...where am I? What is this place?” she furrowed her brows as she looked at Robert. Robert was quiet for a moment before he answered honestly, “You’re at the Wonderland Clubhouse, Miss Harvey...Second Young Master instructed you to...work as a cleaner here temporarily. Don’t worry, Miss Harvey - you just have to bear with it for a few days, alright? At least until Second Young Master comes to his senses…” “That sounds like a plan,” Eliana murmured quietly, “At least that means...that I don’t have to face him every day…” Robert was about to tell Eliana about Eddie when he ultimately decided against it for the fear that she would resent Aidan even more than she already did - as such, he kept to himself. … Eliana had been recovering in the house for a whole day when someone barged in in the evening and threw a pair of overalls at her. “Get up this instant, do you think that this is your home or something?” The person scolded, “Put on your overalls and get to work immediately.” Enduring the immense pain that was wrecking her body, Eliana forced herself to get up and change into the overalls before retrieving the necessary cleaning supplies and reporting to her designated cleaning area. Eliana hung her head the entire time - she made sure not to make any eye contact with anyone and not to interact with anyone. While she had no qualms about losing her dignity, she was afraid that others would speak condescendingly of the Harvey Family because of her. She couldn’t be so selfish as to bring shame and dishonor upon her family due to her own careless actions. Eliana was mopping the floor when a familiar cry rang out from the private suite in front of her. “Ugh, let me go, you dirty women…” Eliana immediately pushed the door open - to her horror, she was met with the sight of Eddie being pinned down by two middle-aged women on top of him. Before she could even do anything, however, Eliana was pulled back and shoved into the private suite next door - Aidan was inside, seated with his leg crossed over the other and nursing a glass of red wine in his hand. “Do you like the surprise?” he hummed. Eliana got on her knees and pressed her forehead miserably against the ground as she begged, “Aidan, please don’t do this to Eddie...what do you want me to do? Admit that I’d killed Evan? Fine, I’ll admit it - I killed Evan, alright? Just send me to the prison of something - I don’t care if I’ll have to spend the rest of my life in there, but please, just let Eddie off…” “So you finally admit it,” Aidan scowled, “Eliana, oh Eliana, did you really think that I would let you off just like that?” He then hurled the glass of red wine that he’d been holding onto the ground, “I want you to suffer, Eliana,” he snarled, “That’s why I won’t let Eddie go…”
