Sweet Love novel Chapter 13

Yusef’s gaze somehow conveys the heaviness because he did think that Eliot Penn would bring up this project all of a sudden.

He slightly smirks and seems to care nothing about it, “Speaking of competence, I genuinely think that I am on the upper hand.”

“However, the reason why father assigned this project to you is that the project is so small that I don’t have to intervene right?”

These sentences again light Eliot’s anger to the climax, “What are you faking Yusef Penn! I don’t believe that you can achieve the target in time for this project!”

It is a known secret among the Penn family that this project is a hot potato. Whoever takes charge of it won’t have any good outcomes. Eliot has long been unpleased about his father’s arrangement.

“Well then. Why don’t we make a bet?” Yusef sneers and says gently, “If I take this project over, and make it in time…”

Yusef prolongs his words intentionally and lets Eliot decide the content of their bet.

Eliot is apparently still in his anger so he is very motivated when he knows that Yusef wants to make a bet with him. “If you can achieve the goal of this project, I will accept a request from you.”

Macy can’t help frowning upon hearing the gambling. Why she has to be involved in the fight between the Penn brothers?

“Ok. I promise you.” Yusef responses directly and looks at the woman in his arm. He speaks intentionally in front of Eliot, “Your breakfast is on the table, have it before it gets cold.”

The sudden soft attitude of this man makes Macy very flattered but soon she understands and notices that Eliot is staring at her. She walks towards the dining table without saying anything.

Eliot clenches his fist secretly and his blue veins stand out on his upper arm. He has never seen such a gentle Macy when she was with him, but now in front of Yusef Penn, she…

Yusef Penn grabs the coffee mug next to him and takes a sip casually. On seeing Eliot looking at Macy closely, he takes half a step forward to block his sight.

“Why? Have you had breakfast? Do you want to join us?”

Yusef’s sub-context that reminds him to leave has been very obvious. Certainly, Eliot understands what he means.

His withdraws his fury and walks outside without saying anything.

“I know that you are not happy about me being too close to Macy, but Eliot, I have to remind you that it was the person beside you who pushed Macy towards me.”

The emotions coming out from Yusef’ eyes get more complicated. “You know, Macy was drugged last night. The person who drugged her is your sweetheart Sue Caine.”

Eliot’s expression suddenly changes and he rejects coldly, “That’s impossible!”

“Do you need the surveillance video? Macy and Manson were together last night, and Sue Caine bribed the waiter to add the psychedelic drugs in the wine. Can you imagine what would happen if I didn’t make it last night?”

Yusef’s voice gets lower. The invisible deterrent comes out from him gives Eliot chills.

“How…How dare she!” Eliot clenches his fist again. He clearly remembers that he has reminded Sue Caine to understand who she was! How can she drug Macy in secret?
