Chapter 72 You Can Never Trust A Drunken Woman
In the living room.
Two men were sitting face to face on the sofa.
Edmond, pretending to be careless, asked, "Do you prefer men or women?"
Eli sat in a proper posture, not trying to talk to Edmond at all.
When Alicia came out with the tea, Edmond kept his eyes on Eli, waiting for an answer.
Alicia sat down next to Edmond, and he immediately reached out and took her into his arms, with smugness in his eyes like a winner.
Alicia pushed Edmond in the chest in a nonchalant manner, signalling him to stop.
"What are you doing here, Mr Preston?"
"Preston and Florrick are discussing a marriage, and I want to know Grace's opinion."
"You could have just asked her."
"She won't see me."
Alicia said, "She doesn't want to see you. You admitted last time that you liked men, didn't you? Grace doesn't want to be a widow so that she won't agree to the marriage. To Grace, marriage is about two people being in love, and she won't accept a marriage for benefit."
Eli's face darkened.
Grace was so ruthless.
She made out with him but refused to admit it. Then she turned around and let him play along with Alicia's act to piss off Edmond.
Eli was angry at that moment.
He couldn't understand what the hell the woman was thinking when she said, "Can you put on a play with my best friend?"
So Eli Lied to Alicia that he liked men with the intention of pissing her off.
He waited for Grace to call and question him.
Turns out Grace didn't react at all.
Then Eli asked Alicia to cooperate with him to spread the gossip, but Grace was indifferent...
He let his family discuss a family marriage with the Florrick. Both families were satisfied with the marriage. But Grace refused to marry him.
Now Eli realized that Grace just didn't like him.
He shouldn't believe Grace's bullshit that night.
Alicia lay on top of him. Her hazel eyes showed infatuation, and her hands constantly touched him.
She said that she had a crush on him for years.
