Eliana spoke those words in a bitter rage, and that explained the turn of events pretty clearly.
It had been Robert’s father all along.
Maybe he’d seen through Eliana’s greed from the beginning, and knew that there wasn’t a good way to repay the debt of saving someone’s life, so he’d bought them out with one hundred million and forced Eliana to never tell the truth.
At least when it was last year, Robert’s father had still been alive, so Eliana hadn’t dared speak out.
After all, the Warner family’s wealth and power was nothing in front of the Simpsons.
But now, with Robert’s father dead, Eliana found the nerve to speak out about it.
“I think that if I hadn’t gone missing a year ago, you would have told me about this sooner or later. With my father gone, nobody could have threatened you any longer, and you could have appeared in my life as the person who saved me, right?”
Robert mocked, while Eliana didn’t answer.
Some things didn’t need to be said, and she didn’t want her disgrace to be even more exposed before Robert.
She’d saved that little boy all those years ago, and she’d paid attention to him afterwards. Seeing the boy was so nice and so handsome, she took pride in being his savior. And as the lady of the Warner family, they were a fitting match.
That was what Eliana had felt should have happened for twenty years.
But Robert’s father just had to keep warning her not to say it.
If she’d said it earlier, maybe she would already have been married to Robert.
Robert’s father was all to blame. Why couldn’t he die earlier?
Eliana was solely resentful over that.
“What woman I like, what my wife’s personality is, whether she deserves me or not – it’s got nothing to do with you, Miss Warner. Please stay out of other people’s business and try to point fingers at my wife in the guise of a savior. You saved me once and I’m grateful, but like my father said, he’s already paid you enough. You were willing to sell your silence for this one hundred million. I owe you nothing.
“But you still saved my life. I’ll let you go on this, but next time you try something with my wife and family? You’ll get to experience what it’s like living in the slums or working like one of those ladies in the red light district. Don’t think it’s beneath me. I can turn crazy when my family is hurt. That’s my advice to you. I hope you take it seriously!”
Saying that, Robert stood and took Georgia’s hand.
As the two stood and left, Georgia turned to Eliana and gave her a Parthian shot.
