Chapter 131 Not Enough to Seduce Me
"Wait!"
Elianna almost threw herself onto Jefferson, trying to stop him from dialing.
Jefferson easily caught her and raised his hand with the phone, dialing Erica's phone number under Elianna's gaze.
"Don't..."
Just as she uttered a word, the call connected.
She quickly closed her mouth.
Feeling the woman in his arms stiffen, Jefferson chuckled and clasped her waist, keeping her lying on him.
He put her on speaker.
"Hello, Mrs. Gentry."
It was a respectful title, but when it came out of Jefferson's mouth, there was no hint of respect.
Erica, who was always dogmatic, didn't get angry at Jefferson's rudeness. Instead, she replied politely, "Mr. Larsen, is there something you need?"
"Yes."
Jefferson drawled and glanced at Elianna, who was frightened. "There is one thing."
With the call on speakerphone, Elianna dared not make a sound, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
The sweat seeped into her wound, which caused a stinging sensation, not intense but irritating.
Erica's voice remained calm on the other end of the line. "Mr. Larsen, please feel free to speak your mind."
"Okay."
Ignoring Elianna's pleading gaze, Jefferson placed his hand on her back and slowly stroked it. "Today, at Fantasy Club, I met Eli..."
Erica listened attentively, but suddenly there was silence on the other end. She ventured, "Who?"
Jefferson looked down at Elianna straddling him, who was hugging his neck and kissing him, her other hand moving over him.
But her eyes were clear, almost as if the words "with a purpose" were written on her face.
Upon hearing this, Erica was gloomy and her heart sank.
Was Jefferson implying that she should end her cooperation with Roger?
Although she had also entertained this idea, she had been working with Roger for many years, and in the earlier years, he had helped the Gentry family handle many things.
It was fine when their interests aligned, but once they went their separate ways, those things would become handles for the Gentry family.
It was difficult to make a clean break. Even if it was done, she'd suffer a lot of loss.
Originally, she had tried to use Jefferson's influence to silence Roger, but Jefferson showed no interest in cooperation with the Gentry family.
There seemed something wrong.
Since Jefferson wasn't interested in the Gentry family, why did he interfere with their cooperation with Roger?
Could it be because of Nola going to Fantasy Club?
To confirm her speculation, she felt him out. "Mr. Larsen, you're a busy man. I'll pay attention to disciplining my daughters. Please tell me who you met today."
