Yvonne said it was not Henry, she had to be misleading her.
Yes, that had to be it!
As Mandy thought about it, her heart settled down once more. However, the smile on her face was one of reluctance. "It really was the chairman, Mrs.
Lancaster. I didn't lie to you."
"Is that so? The family residence is full of surveillance. Let's take a look at the surveillance tapes." After Yvonne said that, she took out her cell phone to call someone.
At this moment, Elliot walked over wearing a suit with a grim expression, "Yvonne, there's no need to call anyone. I was the one who slept with her last night."
"What?" Before Yvonne's surprise, Mandy cried out in disbelief. With a look of disbelief, she shook her head violently. "That’s impossible. How could it be you?"
It was clearly Henry!
Elliot looked at her coldly. "Why can't it be me? Did you really think it was Elliot?" 1
Mandy moved her lips and wanted to speak. However, her tongue was tied when she glanced over and saw his eyes that were filled with mockery.
Yvonne glanced at Mandy scornfully and ignored her.
She turned her gaze to Elliot. "What happened last night? She said she spent the night with Henry, but you said you were the one who spent the night with her instead. I'm getting confused."
"Well, didn't I take her to the social gathering yesterday? I drank too much and asked her to send m e back. Originally, I wanted her to send me back to the room and leave. However, I didn't expect that she’d run into Henry as he was coming back from somewhere just as she was leaving."
"And then what?" Yvonne asked as she glanced at Mandy again.
At this moment, Mandy wore an expression of disbelief, clearly still in denial of the fact that it was not Henry last night.
"She drank a lot as well. After she saw Henry, she went up to him and vomited all over Henry. He was disgusted so he took off his coat and threw it on her head. Perhaps, meeting Henry like that at that time got her excited so she passed out later."
As Elliot spoke of this, his gaze grew colder, "Since I was the one who brought her back, Henry called me over and passed her to me. I was the one who should b e held responsible to send her away. However, my consciousness was already cloudy at the moment so I didn't send her back. Instead, the servants prepared a guest room for us." "Did you sleep together?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows.
Elliot nodded and then shook his head. "We slept together but we didn't do anything because I couldn't stand the effects of the alcohol as well when I threw her on the bed. I fell asleep next to her and only found out when I woke up in the morning. After that, I went back to my room."
"I see." Yvonne nodded as her understanding of the matter cleared up.
The truth had been revealed.
She looked at Mandy coldly. "Miss Lovett, do you still insist that it was my husband who spent the night with you last night?"
Mandy's face turned pale, and she wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide in so badly.
Initially, she thought that she had actually slept with her sweetheart so she mustered all her courage to provoke his wife in an attempt to drive a wedge between husband and wife. This way, she could take advantage of the situation.
Unexpectedly, the situation turned out to be a sham and was not like what she had expected at all.
"Well, Yvonne, what's the point of asking her? You should take your leave first and leave the rest to me," Elliot looked at Mandy coldly before he said to Yvonne.
Yvonne hummed and nodded as she got ready to leave.
However, she looked at the coat in her hand and threw it on Mandy before she left. "Miss Lovett, I know what you think of my husband and your intentions of coming to me to say all those things. However, I'm sorry to say that you failed. On the contrary, you've put yourself into another debt. Please pay for my husband's coat as well!"
After she said that, she stopped looking at Mandy and walked away.
Elliot and Mandy were the only ones left on the spot.
Elliot looked at her expressionlessly. "I thought you were a naive and kind girl. I didn't expect my judgement to be wrong."
Mandy's eyes flashed as she held her tongue.
She did not think her actions were immoral or unkind.
She didn't think badly of her actions, only thinking that they were done so she could strive for love and happiness. There was nothing wrong with that.
