Chapter 26
“Do I like torturing myself?” Eliza pursed her lips. “No, I don’t.” While listening to the news, she was just trying to relax.
Jay and Madeleine were the most popular candidates nominated for the Golden Bull Award this year, so it was only normal for the radio broadcast to be flooded with news about them.
Although she didn’t really like listening to it, it didn’t affect her much because they had already severed their relationship a long time ago. Right now, she was only treating it as background noise.
Beau frowned. “You should be moving on.”
Eliza paused. “Moving on from what…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Beau was already walking towards her at a quick pace. He pulled Eliza’s wrist and went downstairs.
“What are you doing?” Shocked, Eliza thrashed her am to break free from his grasp. “Where are you taking me?” She was still wearing her bunny pajamas and her mask was still plastered on her face! Without a word, Beau pushed her into the car. The car engine screeched to life. Eliza sat in the passenger seat and looked at her own reflection on the car window. How could she leave the house like this? She was very frustrated.
She removed the mask from her face. Only then did she realize that the car was not equipped with trash cans. Feeling speechless, she crumpled the dried mask in her palms. “Just what on earth are you doing?”
Beau didn’t say anything further as he stepped on the accelerator.
The car stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel in Krine.
“Get out of the car,”
Beau said coldly while holding on to the steering wheel.
Eliza was both confused and irritated at the same time.
It was already late at night. The reason she dragged her out without any explanation… Was it because he wanted to have sex with her at a luxurious hotel?!
Out of instinct, Eliza covered her chest with both hands and said, “Mr. Valentine, you can’t treat me like this.”
Beau glanced at her in disdain, “You sleep in my bed every day. If I want to touch you inappropriately in any way. I would’ve done so ages ago.”
Eliza thought about it for a moment. That actually made sense. If it wasn’t because of sex, then why did he bring her here in the middle of the night? “Get out of the car.”
Beau gave an order.
Eliza pursed her lips and did as told. She didn’t really have a choice anyway.
As soon as she got off the car, Beau grabbed her arm and rushed upstairs.
They arrived at a suite.
After he entered the suite, Beau sat down elegantly on the sofa. He reached for the remote control and switched on the LCD screen on the walls.
The LCD screen displayed what seemed like footage from a surveillance camera.
It showed both joy and Madeleine sitting on the sofa with their heads hung low while being lectured by a
man.
Judging from the design of their room, they should also be in one of the rooms of this hotel.
Eliza stood rooted to the ground while looking at Jay and Madeleine on the screen. “What in the world…”
“They are right next door.”
Beau rubbed his temples frustratedly as he said. “Since you can’t move on from your past relationship, I’m giving you a chance to vent your anger at Jay Carr.”
“Go in there and do whatever you want to him. Beat him, shout at him, whatever that will make you feel better.”
Eliza was stunned.
Was this the reason he brought her out so late at night? Eliza pursed her lips and waved her hand. “I’m fine. In fact, I don’t really want to do that.”
“Are you sure?”
Beau narrowed his eyes slightly. “Do you want to get back together with him?”
The surrounding air was drowned in an oppressive aura.
There was menace in his eyes as he said with a cold tone, “You should give up that thought.”
Eliza was speechless.
Just what did she do that caused Beau to arrive at this conclusion?
Ever since Jay broke the news about his affair, which already happened five years back, Eliza couldn’t even stand the sight of him. Eliza grimaced and said, “Don’t worry. Even if Jay crawls to his knees and begs me to be with him again, I will just kick him in the balls.” Beau glanced at her.
Satisfied with her answer, he smiled. “That’s more like it.”
“Mr. Valentine, you dragged me out this late at night just for this?”
Eliza sighed and said in a joking manner, “Mr. Valentine, there’s something I’m very curious about.”
“We were never in a healthy relationship.”
