Chapter 102 Caught by Asher
"Let's not bring about things in the past. Just a few days ago, when I needed some cash, you just handed over the money that our parents had given you without a second thought, didn't you?"
Asher crossed his arms and shot her a sidelong glance.
Elianna's smile faded.
She had given him that money because, however much she gave him, it always ended up back in her hands. So it didn't bother her.
But she couldn't say that. She just silently watched as Asher's expression grew increasingly smug.
He went on, "And today, you knew how risky it was, yet you still poured water on Jeff. Didn't you do that for me?"
Once again, Elianna fell silent.
She couldn't hold onto the glass because Jefferson was being a jerk. Yet somehow, she ended up taking the risk for the sake of love.
Seeing Elianna growing more and more speechless, Asher let out a mocking snort.
"I know you've been jealous of Kenley. But I've told you before that Kenley is like a family to me, and you have to accept her."
He continued as if he was being gracious, "As long as you behave yourself and don't give Kenley any trouble, I'll treat you well."
Elianna was speechless.
She couldn't understand how Asher could say something so absurd in such a matter-of-fact tone.
She didn't want to argue with him any further and simply said, "All right, we're done here. I'm leaving."
"Wait!"
As they were arguing, Elianna, who was already feeling annoyed, grew even more furious and said, "Are you finished yet? If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. If you need love, go find Kenley. Don't be a nuisance here!"
Her words were sharp, but Asher seemed as though he hadn't heard them at all and just pointed at the obvious red mark on her neck.
"What's this?"
Elianna froze.
Gosh, she had actually forgotten about this.
In the blink of an eye, Asher's emotions had shifted from shock to anger.
"For heaven's sake, give me an explanation! I haven't touched you. How did you get this mark?"
Relieved that he hadn't connected this to Jefferson, Elianna let out a sigh of relief.
