Chapter 391

After the children finished giving their gifts, someone else came to offer Eliza a toast.

Eliza recognized a familiar face.

When the person spoke to her, their expression was clearly uncomfortable.

“President Grant, it’s been a long time.”

“Yeah, Mr. Chambers,” Eliza replied politely.

She remembered Jack Chambers because she had suffered a loss at his hands once.

Back then, she was still Calvin’s secretary.

Jack, a New York businessman, came to Washington for an investment project led by the local government, with vast resources behind him.

In order to secure resources for Everest, Eliza had tried to persuade Jack several times.

Jack, seeing that Eliza was beautiful, had other ideas. He tried to seduce her.

He hinted at it, but Eliza, whether out of misunderstanding or naivety, didn’t respond.

So, he decided to escalate things. Taking advantage of a social event, he planned to force himself on her.

After all, she was just a small secretary, and she wouldn’t dare speak up if she were taken advantage of.

At worst, he could give her a sum of money to shut her up.

If he liked her, he could play with her for a while before tossing her aside when he got bored.

In this regard, Jack was experienced.

He had always gotten away with it in the past, never once failing.

Some bosses even sent women to his bed just to get investments.

But he didn’t expect Eliza to be so strong–willed, not yielding to him, and even jumping out of the third floor window to escape.

Jack, worried she would go to the police, contacted her boss–Calvin.

Thus would be the biggest regret of Jack’s life.

He thought that Calvin, wanting the resources, would side with him and persuade Eliza to let the matter slide.

He had used this tactic before with unwilling women, and it had always worked,

After all, no one could resist inmy

At the time, Everest was just a small, insignificant company, and a little bit of charity from him would have been enough to sustain them for half a year

Calvin would be more than happy

He might even be grateful to him.

Chapter 391

When Calvin learned of Jack’s intentions, he beat him up badly.

It was a real beating!

Even after more than ten years, whenever Jack thought of it, he still had lingering fears.

In fact, he even had a physical reaction when seeing Eliza.

He’d feel like his dick was aching.

That’s because… Calvin had actually kicked him there.

After that, he couldn’t be with a woman ever again.

If this social event weren’t necessary, Jack really wouldn’t want to greet Eliza.

Just hearing her speak one sentence made him start sweating with anxiety.

“It has indeed been a long time.” Jack pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his brow.

Eliza also had some lingering questions about Jack’s actions.

That night, she had been forced to jump from the third–floor window.

Luckily, there was an artificial lake below.

It was summer.

And fortunately, there were people by the lake who helped her when she couldn’t swim.

At the time, Eliza had been so angry that she almost called the police.

But when she dialed 911, she hesitated.

Everest had just started, and if such a scandal got involved, people might get the wrong idea.

Plus, the resources Jack had behind him were undeniably attractive.

If she could avoid offending him, she would.

for Everest, for Calvin, she swallowed her anger.

She didn’t even tell Calvin about the incident.

But what surprised her was that suddenly, Jack disappeared from Washington.

The government directly canceled his investment qualifications.

No one knew the exact reason, and the authorities never explained.

In any case, it was quietly resolved.

If she hadn’t run into him today, she might have completely forgotten about Jack

But after suffering that loss, Eliza learned to be more cautious in social situations.

For instance, when drinking with Tyler, she would contact Mrs. Tyler in advance.

Perhaps she was just lucky, but after that, she never encountered someone like Jack again.

Occasionally, there were men who had ulterior motives, but they didn’t have the guts to act on them.

Eliza found Jack’s current behavior strange.

She couldn’t understand what he was afraid of.

Could it be that he was afraid of Vega?

That was possible.

As the event neared its end, Eliza felt a bit drunk.

It had been a while since she’d had to socialize, and her alcohol tolerance was low.

Vega noticed her discomfort and arranged for someone to take her upstairs to rest, telling her not to worry about the rest.

Eliza didn’t refuse because she was genuinely feeling tipsy.

Once she got to the resting room, she tried calling Belle to let her know.

But Belle didn’t answer.

She must have been busy.

Eliza sent her a message and then lay down on the bed.

She wasn’t sure if it was the tightness of her dress, but she felt a bit suffocated in her chest.

Her breathing grew more rapid, and her heart began to race.

When she touched her face with the back of her hand, she was shocked to find how hot she was.

She had drunk before, but never felt like this.

As time passed, her body temperature rose, and her mouth became dry.

Her body felt so weak that she couldn’t even get out of bed.

The only rational thought left in her mind was that something was wrong,

This didn’t feel like being drunk–it felt like she had been drugged!

A few years ago, she had been drugged in the Half Club.

The symptoms were exactly the same as now.

While she struggled with her dress, she reached for her phone, trying to call for help.

But before she could find her phone, the door to the room opened.

It seemed someone had entered.

The lights weren’t on, and she couldn’t see clearly. She thought it was someone from Vega’s side.

“Mr. Vega, I think I ate something bad,” she said, her voice trembling.

Her sense of reason was fading away.
