The interview was posted online by the journalist, and the video immediately went viral.
News of Violette swindling Elijah out of a whopping ten billion had been a hot topic a little while ago. And now, Violette was addressing this publicly for the first time. Shocking as it was, she had indeed swindled Elijah out of ten billion, and Elijah didn’t sue her or seek recompense.
Incredible! Was Elijah really that easy to trick?
At the Bourne Group.
Elijah had just wrapped up a meeting and returned to his office when he unlocked his phone to find a slew of new messages. Every single message contained the same video clip. Frowning, he clicked on one.
"Ms. Dennis, we heard that you swindled Elijah out of 10 billion dollars, is this true?"
"Yes, it's true."
"Ms. Dennis, you must be joking? If it's true, why hasn't he sued you?"
"Because Mr. Bourne is incredibly wealthy. 10 billion dollars is nothing to him. If any of you want to get rich, go swindle him. He's very easy to deceive."
Elijah’s face darkened instantly. If he hadn’t seen her face in the video and heard her voice with his own ears, he wouldn’t have believed it.
The office door was pushed open, and Brandon walked in, grinning. "Elijah, have you seen the video? Ha-ha! Did you upset her?"
Elijah put down his phone and took a sip from his water glass. "She looks well," Brandon noted as he neared him. "Have you guys not met since she returned home?"
They hadn’t, but they certainly had argued.
"Do you want to see her?" Brandon asked. "If you do, I could arrange."
"No." Elijah set his glass down. "Every time we meet, either she gets mad, or I do. She’s pregnant now; I don’t want to upset her."
He also didn’t want to be upset by her, so it was best they didn’t meet.
