Chapter 15 All Men Are Animals
The moment they stepped out of the mansion, Eliza gently pushed Tanner away, she wanted to keep a
distance from him.
“Thank you for saving me just now,” Eliza lowered her head as she spoke. His aura was so strong that
she dared not look at him at all.
Even though she was avoiding eye contact, she could still feel his cold and sharp gaze on her.
“How are you going to thank me?” He asked.
Eliza gritted her teeth and replied, “I’ll treat you to a meal.”
That was the only thing she could do.
Her chin was suddenly held tightly by Tanner. He used a little bit of strength to make her look up
directly into his eyes.
“I helped you get rid of your marriage with Michael, and that is the way you repay me?”
His gaze was so sharp, it made Eliza feel as if her heart was being squeezed by something. She was in
a state of despair and panic.
She blinked her eyes in panic and managed to calm herself down. She stammered, “What else do you
want, my future brother-in-law?”
The words ‘my future brother-in-law’ were enough to make sure that the possibility of them being in a
relationship was zero.
Tanner frowned, and his deep eyes churned with a hint of sternness.
Eliza was too afraid to continue staring into his eyes. She shook off Tanner’s hand forcefully, turned
around, and left.
Tanner stared at her slender and fragile back intensely, the expressions in his eyes were terrifyingly
cold.
Eliza dared not turn back to look at him. Since her back was facing him, she quickened her pace and
walked out of the villa. She found a taxi and quickly left the scene.
She dared not go back to the Francis’ or her own house. She thought for a long time and realized that
the only place she could stay was Gracelynn’s house.
By the time she found Gracelynn, she was cleaning up her messy living room. Her eyes were red and
swollen, but she still forced herself to smile at Eliza. “You’re here. My house is in a mess, so I have to
clean it up first. Find a place to sit down for the time being.”
Eliza did not rest, she quietly helped her clean up.
As Gracelynn picked up the clothes that were scattered on the ground, she finally broke down and Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
cried, “I just quarreled with him, but he already wants to divorce me. Eliza, why are all men such
animals! Even dogs can stay loyal to their owners. How could guys just forget someone they were with
for several years so easily…”
Eliza’s throat was dry, she could not speak at all.
Gracelynn was so miserable, married to a heartless husband.
But Eliza’s situation was no better than hers, was it?
Her newly wedded husband was a cheater, not to mention he was gay. The man who slept with her
was her future brother-in-law. On top of that, he wanted her to be her sister's substitute...
Indeed, all men were animals.
She pondered angrily in her heart, and she grew more determined that she would never marry Tanner
or be her sister’s substitute even if she died.
On the other side, in the Stone family’s Villa.
Marco smiled apologetically as he sent Michael off. By the time he turned back, he asked Penelope
angrily, “What’s wrong with Eliza? Why is she so close with Tanner?”
Mr. Deleon was his biological daughter’s lover.
Raelyn was born prematurely. Her health had always been poor. She often resided overseas for long
periods to recuperate. Her relationship with Tanner had always been threatened by distance. If Eliza
butted into their relationship, wouldn’t it be even worse?
If they broke up in the future, what were they supposed to do?
He still looked forward to Mr. Deleon marrying Raelyn in the future, so that he could have a powerful
backer!
At that time, as Mr. Deleon’s father-in-law, he could do whatever he wanted.
