Chapter 167
Lucija frowned and glanced at Eliza again in the pavilion. Before she and Joye mentioned that she was Chasity’s substitute, Eliza was indeed not so attentive to Jory. Right now… Was it really like what Joye mentioned, because she was afraid? Because she knew that in Beau’s heart, she was not the only one, so she wanted to put on a good performance in front of Jory so that she could have a place in the Valentine family? Thinking of this, a trace of pride flashed through Lucija’s eyes. “Joye, if it’s according to what you said, then this method is still effective?” Joye smiled faintly. “I don’t know if it works, but I know that Chasity’s existence has already posed a threat to Eliza.” “Don’t forget, why was this woman, Eliza, willing to be our surrogate mother five years ago?” “She did it for her boyfriend, Jay, who was a failure.” “She is a person who values relationships so much. If she knows that she is just a substitute in Beau’s heart. How can she not panic?” Lucija frowned and thought for a while. After a while, she smiled. “Yes.” “You’re the smart one.” Although Chasity did not exist and was made up by Joye and her. D They had caused Eliza to be scared. Chasity would also be like a thorn, always stuck in her heart. This name could make Eliza nervous, feel suspicious, and even uneasy. That was all worth it. Lucija glanced at Eliza in the pavilion while holding the phone tightly. At this time, she was smiling as she spoke to Jory while diligently pouring tea for him. Eliza, who smiled subserviently, was totally different from yesterday when they met in Valentine’s Group. She was indeed an actress. She looked arrogant in front of her but well-behaved in front of Jory! Thinking of this, she snorted coldly. “In this case, should I continue to bring up more things about Chasity in front of Eliza?” Chasity didn’t exist anyway, and she could make up whatever she wanted. “No, don’t.” Joye paused for a while at the other end of the phone. “The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Before we prepare a complete story, don’t mention too much in front of Eliza.” If we were exposed, it would be like going for wool and coming home shorn. “Okay then, I’ll listen to you.” Lucija answered coldly and hung up the phone. She sneered as she put down the phone
Joye was too timid. Now that Eliza was already afraid, she should take advantage. She should take advantage of the grudge between her and Beau to make her think that she was Chasity’s substitute. After thinking for a while, Lucija picked up her mobile phone and sent a message to Eliza. “Do you want to talk about Chasity?” In the pavilion. Eliza glanced at the message on her phone. Lucija was currently in the room. If she sent such a message to her, it meant that Braint’s plan was effective. At least, Lucija was really afraid of her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sent her such a message. She lightly curled her lips and replied politely, “I’m sorry, Miss Yates.” “I am not Chasity’s substitute at all. I have nothing to talk to you. Don’t mention her in front of me in the future.” Looking at the message on the phone, Lucija smiled more proudly. If it was in the past, if Eliza said so, she might think that Eliza really didn’t care. But now… She looked at Eliza, who was constantly trying to please Jory in the pavilion downstairs, and a cold smile appeared on her face. If Eliza was really not afraid, she would not have come to please Jory. Soon, it was lunchtime. Eliza personally cooked a few dishes that she was good at. “No wonder the two little kids want you to be their mommy when they met you on the first day. The food tastes really good!” Jory sat at the dining table as he ate and praised, “If I were Braint and Demarion, I would also hope that you would stay!” Eliza was a little embarrassed by the praise. She smiled and sat down opposite Jory. Before Braint proposed this plan, she had indeed never properly spent time with Jory. Perhaps it was because Jory was too serious about Matthew and Roseane’s marriage. Her impression of him was that he was a little old-fashioned and cold. But after getting along with him for the whole morning, she finally realized that she was wrong. How could Jory be called cold and aloof? He was as cute as a child! Thinking of this, she looked at Jory who was in front of her with a smile. “If Father likes to eat, I can always come and cook for you when I have time in the future.” “Good, good!” He was extremely excited. “If I had known that Beau could marry such a good wife, I would have forced him to get married a few years earlier!” Eliza smiled. “That’s not true either.” “Father, if you had forced him to get married earlier, maybe it wouldn’t have been me who married him.” Jory frowned and thought for a while. “That’s right.” “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I am particularly satisfied with you as my daughter-in-law!” After that, he lowered his head with a smile and continued to eat without care. Eliza cooked four dishes for him, and Jory alone ate three and a half dishes. After the meal, he rubbed his round belly and leaned on the sofa. “Butler, give me my digestive enzyme tablet” “It’s been a long time since I was so full!” Eliza chuckled as she cleaned up the dishes. “Take care of yourself.” “Don’t eat like this in the future. If you like it, I can come over often and make some for you.” Jory nodded and waved at Eliza to come over. “Just let the servants clean up. I have something to say to you.” She put down the bowl and chopsticks and strode to him. “Eliza.” Leaning on the sofa, he sighed. “This whole morning.” “You coaxed me and accompanied me. I feel your sincerity.” “What’s the matter? Just say it.” “Did Beau, that brat bully you? Or did those two little monkeys disobey you?” “Or, is it your family’s problem?” “As long as you tell me, I will try to help you solve it!” Eliza was stunned. After a long while, she realized that Jory had… thought that she was here to ask him for a favor? She did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Father, I have nothing to ask from you.” “I’m just…” In the middle of her words, Eliza frowned and suddenly did not know how to explain it to him. At this time, the sound of high heels stepping on the stairs came from upstairs. Eliza subconsciously raised her head. What caught her eye was Lucija’s indifferent face. “Why is the famous actress here today?”
The smile on Eliza’s face was faint. “I’m just here to see father.” After that, she glanced in the direction of the kitchen. “I cooked some lunch. There’s some left. Do you want to eat them?” Eliza’s attitude made Lucija roll her eyes secretly. After a while, Lucija rolled her eyes. “Are you going to the set after eating?” “I happen to be on the way. Let me see you off?”
