Chapter 28 Washing Away His Scent
Chapter 28 Washing Away His Scent
Eliza was still in a daze. She insisted on keeping a safe distance from him. She watched him vigilantly
as he tidied his clothes and got up.
All of a sudden, Tanner stopped at the stairs.
“Aunt Bell will take you to your room. That will be your bedroom.” He glanced at her lightly before he
went upstairs. He had reverted to his cold and usual self.
Eliza did not relax until he truly left. Her legs went soft, and she sat on the ground.
How did he know what she wanted to say…
She could not care that much about anything anymore. The only thing she wanted to do was take a
good bath so that she could wash off his scent that was on her!
Eliza thought that Tanner’s temperament was strong in the past, and that it was difficult to approach
him. She did not expect him to be someone like this. What a loser!
……
When she reached her bedroom, the moonlight was already shining through the windows, and the
scenery outside the windows was different. The night scenery was so beautiful that she could not bear
to turn on the lights. It was as if she feared that she would disturb the moon.
Everything in the room was illuminated by the moonlight.
By the time she went upstairs, Ms. Bell came to tell her that during dinner, she had already sent some
new sets of clothes to her bedroom.
With the spectacular moonlight as her guide, she picked up a nightdress from the closet. It was made
of pure cotton, so it was super soft. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
The beauty of the moonlight made her temporarily forget the unpleasantness of what happened earlier.
She went and took a nice bath. The fragrance of lavender in the house helped her fall asleep.
……
When it was nearly dawn, Tanner came to the door of her room. He tested the doorknob and, indeed, it
was locked from the inside. But this was his home... He had the keys.
He entered her room slowly. He saw the woman on the bed sleeping soundly, the wounds on her face
had almost disappeared. She looked as beautiful as a painting under the dim light.
He caressed her cheek with his big hand. That day, he nearly went abroad to visit Raelyn… He was so
close to going. And Eliza was almost badly hurt.
Before they had dinner, he had been investigating the matter in the study room. He knew that Michael
was the one behind it. Since he dared to target her, then he should be prepared to face the
consequences.
Even so, he had no intentions of pushing him too hard. As long as he agreed to a divorce, suppressing
his company was good enough.
He gently climbed onto her bed and pulled his little wife into his embrace. After that, Tanner fell asleep
with a sigh of contentment.
However, on that night, someone was bound to not get any sleep.
Just as Michael was still whispering sweet words to his lover, he suddenly received a phone call.
Someone told him that Tanner had secretly purchased the shares of plenty of his shareholders at a
high price. As of that moment, the shares in Tanner’s hands might already exceed 50%...
This meant that Tanner had become the largest shareholder of his company. Michael was not stupid.
He knew why Tanner would do that.
It was because of that b*tch, Eliza! She made him waste a whole year for nothing. Now, he had even
provoked Tanner!
What was even more amusing was that Tanner’s men were the ones to inform him about the
acquisition.
Tanner had someone deliver a message to him. "Tomorrow, bring the divorce papers with you and go
through the divorce honestly. Don't play any tricks. Otherwise, the Francis family's company may have
a new owner."
Eliza, how dare she! She thought that she could reap benefits from Tanner! Even though he could not
do anything to her now, there was no telling what would happen in the future! Just wait and
see!
