Chapter 50
Eliza bought some essentials for going to Sea World the next day and hurriedly returned to the hotel. “So the beautiful auntie lives here!” A little girl with sparkling eyes sat on the sofa in the lobby of the hotel. She wore a white chiffon dress. Her excitement was evident as she watched Eliza enter the elevator. “Such fate!” “Mr. Benton, can I go meet her?” Julian frowned and reached out to hold her hand. “Stay out of trouble!” Liliana looked up at him with grievances and whined, “Mr. Benton…” “Liliana.”
The man crouched down and looked at her with a stern gaze. “You are young. There are many things you do not understand. “You cannot act so impulsively. What if this beautiful auntie you mention is married and has children of her own? “Am I to set foot in her marriage then?” The little girl pouted at Julian’s words and kept her mouth shut. “Okay, be good now.” He ruffled her hair and said, “I am here for work. You should not mess around.” “Alright.” Although she was not happy about it, she nodded obediently and spoke no more of it. However, without his knowledge, she used two of Mr. Benton’s autographed photos to trade for information from the receptionist. She got the information that the beautiful auntie stayed in Room 2302! Therefore, under her relentless pestering, Julian agreed to take Room 2303. .

As she had slept the entire journey there, Eliza found herself wide awake that night. After tossing and turning to no avail, she decided she might as well get up.

Some of the content which Roseane had filmed previously have gone to waste because of that. Jay’s fans continued to promote on the Internet how kind he was and how despicable Madeleine was. Eliza was a tad annoyed by those articles. Just as she was about to turn off the phone, an article caught her attention. “Breaking news! Julian Benton spotted with five-year-old daughter! Who could the mother be?”
Eliza clicked on.it for more information and saw a picture of the back view of a . little girl dressed in a white chiffon dress. The little girl’s back view looked familiar. Eliza sent a screenshot of the article to Graciana. Graciana had been a fan of Julian Benton for three whole years. She dreamed of marrying him every single day. Eliza wondered if Graciana would break down when she saw that news the next morning
Right then, the elevator dinged behind her, indicating that it was stopping on that floor. Then, she heard a mess of footsteps. She turned around almost instinctively. The air was infused with the scent of blood. Two men came out of the elevator. A man in a black suit who had a gaping wound that was still bleeding on his shoulder was held up by another man. “Mrs. Valentine…” Noah, who was holding Beau up, looked at Eliza in shock. “Why are you…” Beau’s eyes, which had been tightly shut, snapped open. His pale face held no expression. “It’s late.
