Chapter 334 I’m Willing to Be Your Pawn
Yara breathed in slightly and paused for a moment before replying softly, “Ms. Benett, are you happy with your retaliation today?”
Elisa looked at Yara but did not say anything. She was assessing what Yara was up to.
Yara was implying something, but it did not seem like Linda put her up to it. Linda would never send Yara to pass a message if she was up to something.
“What are you trying to say?”
Yara breathed in and pushed aside her nervousness. She looked at Elisa calmly and said, “In regard to today’s incident, if I didn’t stir it up in secret, I believe you wouldn’t have been able to retaliate against Linda as easily and successfully as you did.”
Elisa narrowed her eyes. She could not deny that her plan went smoothly this time.
At the same time, she sensed Linda was more foolish than usual today. If Yara had done something, that would explain it.
Yara was someone Linda trusted the most. Naturally, she would not expect Yara to lie to her.
Elisa did not rush to ask Yara what she did. Instead, she looked at her calmly. “So, do you wish to say that you plan to help me?”
Yara shook her head. “I’m not helping you but myself.”
Elisa continued to look at her and did not say anything.
Yara sighed and continued, “I’ve stayed by Linda’s side for a long time, and I’m sick of it. She has never treated me as a human being but forced me to do all sorts of things for her. She even took out her anger on me.”
Yara pulled up her shirt sleeve as she spoke. Elisa saw scars of various sizes on Yara’s arm and was shocked. But she immediately calmed down and asked in a solemn tone, “Since she treated you this way, have you never thought of fighting back?”
“How could I fight back? She had my life in her hand and threatened me with my family. She said if she notices anything strange about me, she would have my family blacklisted. My family and I need money to fill our stomachs. If everyone ostracized us, how are we to survive?”
Yara sounded miserable, but Elisa looked at her coolly. “Since you fear this, why do you approach me? If she finds out, she will still blacklist your family.”
Yara shook her head firmly. “No, she won’t.”
Elisa did not say anything but looked at Yara.
She could see that Yara had thought everything through before coming here. Thus, she only had to listen to what Yara wanted to say.
Then, Yara signed and said, “I know everything that happened between you and Linda in these few years. I also know everything Linda has done. Unfortunately, she was devious, and I was timid. Thus, I failed to keep any evidence. However, from now on, I promise I will retain evidence and reveal to you all that I know. Similarly… I wish you would save me this time and help me to escape this torture.”
Elisa narrowed her eyes slightly.
Yara is someone Linda trusted the most all these years. She is intelligent and capable. Would Linda take out her anger on her?
It does not matter whether what Yara said was the truth. I won’t believe her straight away because there is a good chance that she and Linda have joined hands to trick me.
Yara could be pretending to approach me and later tell Linda all my plans. Then, Linda can protect herself and make it seem like my plan worked. However, she will later strike back and ruin everything.
Meanwhile, Yara was not surprised that Elisa did not respond. She continued sincerely, “Although you and Linda are cousins, you are not alike at all. She pretends to be kind, but you are truly a kind person. I can see this throughout the years. Unfortunately, I was under her control, so I couldn’t do anything. However, it is different now. Ms. Benett, you are amazing. I am willing to be your pawn.”
