Chapter 21

When they walked out of the restaurant, they saw a black Maserati parked outside.

Braint let go of Eliza’s hand and went straight to the passenger’s seat. Eliza had no choice but to open the door of the back seat. At the back seat, Beau was sitting there in silence as he stared at his laptop sternly.

Although they had been married for some time, Eliza couldn’t help but admire his beauty whenever she saw his impeccable facial features. “Why are you here…” He didn’t even raise his head. Still concentrating on the computer screen, he tapped on the keyboard gently. “As a parent, I have to go to the police station in person when my son is in trouble.”

Eliza pursed her lips and sat inside. “Are you aware of what happened?”

Beau stopped what he was doing and turned to fixate his gaze at her. “Do you really think the kids can get a ten-karat diamond ring without my permission?” A

Eliza was dumbfounded. The children wouldn’t be able to do that.

A ten-karat ring was not something a child could afford. No matter how rich the Valentine family was, Beau wouldn’t spoil his children like that.

Are you in it as well?”

Beau put away the laptop and leaned back comfortably on the leather seat. He said indifferently, “Declan has done some investigation about the incident yesterday. Turns out it has something to do with your sister.” “She’s a smart one. She erased all the evidence about her relationship with Michael Lewis. She even used Luca’s phone number to contact him for the crime.”

Eliza squeezed her palms nervously.

She couldn’t believe it.

Esme really did have something to do with that incident!

Beau tried to reassure her, “Right now, we haven’t been married for long. If I retract my investment from Lawson’s group now, the public will turn on us because we don’t have enough evidence to use against them. Besides, your reputation is on the line as well.” For some reason, his voice alone reflected his maturity, which gave Eliza a sense of security.

Upon hearing his words, she felt warm inside. All this while, Eliza thought that Beau had a cold and indifferent personality.

Besides conducting a thorough investigation about that incident, he had also considered Eliza’s reputation if he went against the Lawson family. She pursed her lips and looked into his eyes. “Thank you.” “Mommy, he’s your husband. You don’t have to thank him.”   As soon as she finished speaking, Braint, who was sitting in the front seat, said indifferently, “You should be thanking us instead.”

“Demarion is the one who wants to seek revenge for you and I am the one who designed the entire scheme. Daddy is only responsible for sponsoring us 10 thousand dollars and a ring. Compared to our efforts, that’s nothing.”

Eliza tried to suppress her laughter.

Beau raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you really think you can pull this off without my support?”

“Yes, I can.”
