A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire novel Chapter 14

“She was being harassed in the hotel,” Tanner spoke calmly, his voice steady and convincing. “I happened to pass by her, and I saved her. Michael, I clearly remember seeing you and another man in the hotel. Not only did you not save her after seeing her being targeted, you even took these photos to frame her. What were you up to?”

He did not say anything harsh, nor did he argue. He just spoke the truth in a calm and objective tone. He did not say much, but it made Michael feel so guilty that he broke out a cold sweat.

Michael wanted to refute, but when his gaze met Tanner's determined eyes that seemed to have seen through everything, the words that he had prepared turned into ash. They were stuck in his throat and he could not say a single word in his defense. He could only hold it in until his entire face turned red.

When Marco saw his reaction, he immediately understood the truth.

So, Michael was the one who was trying to frame Eliza. But why?

He could not quite understand the truth, nor did he want to waste any time on that matter. He quickly smiled and said, “Looks like it was just a misunderstanding! Eliza, why didn’t you explain this to us earlier? Look at how stiff the atmosphere is now…”

After all that, he was still trying to shift the blame over to Eliza.

Eliza replied with a sarcastic sneer, “Dad, you should know yourself what I said.”

Marco’s face turned pale. He closed his mouth and quickly gave Penelope a look.

Penelope hurriedly said, “Eliza, since this was just a misunderstanding, we can forget about it now. Your face seems to be hurting you. Let me apply some medicine for you…”

Marco spoke casually too, “That’s right, it was just a misunderstanding. Tanner, it is rare for you to come here. Why don’t you join us for dinner tonight. Let’s all clear the air.”

Tanner ignored him, he just lowered his eyes. He looked at the pale and fragile woman in his arms, and he asked her in a soft voice, “Are you going to leave, or are you going to stay?”
