His Dangerous Love

Chapter 90 She Got the Floor

Chapter 90 She Has the Initiative

After receiving the money, Elianna made arrangements to meet Brett.

"The funds have been transferred to your account," Elianna informed him.

Brett quickly checked his phone and discovered that an unknown account had deposited 91 million into his account.

Dissatisfied, Brett questioned, "What about the rest?"

Elianna responded cunningly, "For now, this is all I have." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She intentionally kept the amount relatively smaller, knowing that if she had given him a larger sum, Brett would demand even more.

But if the gap was too large, Brett, being greedy, would definitely not agree.

So, 91 million was just right.

The plan worked!

Brett continued, "No need to rush, you can gradually give me the rest. As long as you stay with Mr. Larsen and keep your true identity a secret, you will sure get more benefits. Right?"

It seemed that he would exert control over her in the future.

Elianna clearly knew that if they didn't settle the matter today, she would be definitely forced to comply with his every command!

So, she took a deep breath and put on a smile.

"Mr. Patrick, I came here today to let you know that this is all the money you'll be getting," Elianna said.

Brett's smile froze on his face. "What do you mean?"

"It means I won't give you a single penny more," Elianna responded firmly.

After a moment of shock, he sneered, "I believe you've forgotten that you're not the real Ms. Gentry, but…"

"I think Mr. Patrick has also forgotten," Elianna interrupted him, "that you were the one who helped me escape from Elfold. If Mr. Gibson found the truth, your fate wouldn't have been any better."

"Nonsense! I didn't help you escape from Elfold!" Brett exclaimed.

"You sure?" Elianna placed a stack of photos on the table.

"If it weren't for our connection, why would I have given you this money and met you so many times in Oakpool?"

The photos depicted them together in a car and having dinner at a restaurant. It was clear they were familiar with each other.

"You…," Brett muttered.

He suddenly realized something.

He had the money Elianna had given him, and there were photos of their encounters in Oakpool. She had exposed his actions fully!

Well, he indeed got into this trouble now. He glared at Elianna and said, "You set me up."

Elianna took a sip of her coffee calmly. "I just tied us together with a tight 'knot'."

As long as neither of them desired the exposure of this incident, they would keep this shared secret, which was more effective than any personal benefit.

Brett's expression changed multiple times. His anger dissolved into fear.

After a while, he sneered, ""Well, I've underestimated you.""

Elianna smiled gently in response. "Thank you for the compliment."

Brett felt a surge of frustration at her composure.

He said, "But don't get too arrogant. The truth will surface eventually, and Mr. Gibson will eventually know it."

Elianna calmly raised her coffee. "Well then, but before that, Mr. Patrick, please help me to keep it a secret."

"Damn it…" Brett's outburst drew the attention of those around them, causing him to quickly lower his voice.

He gritted his teeth, "How can I help you?"

"I believe a smart man like you will find a way," Elianna replied calmly.

Before Brett could refuse, Elianna added softly, "Anyway, if I'm discovered, I won't make it out alive. It would bring me joy to have someone by my side."

"You!" The tables had turned, and now Brett found himself under threat.

Elianna took back the initiative.

His face turned pale. "Fine! I promise that I will do everything in my power to help you. But if Mr. Gibson finds the truth on his own, I won't bear any responsibility!"

"Or, Mr. Patrick, if you suspect anything, could you give me a call? Then I can be prepared and avoid detection," Elianna suggested, though her tone left no room for argument.

At this moment, Brett had no choice but to agree.

...

Emerging from the cafe, Elianna felt a surge of lightness, as if the world had brightened.

After settling with Brett, she could momentarily set aside her worries about her true identity being exposed.

Just as she got into the car, her phone rang.

It was Asher.

Elianna was somewhat surprised.

After that forceful kick, she had expected him to keep his distance for a while.

So why was he calling now?
