Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 73

“An hour ago, Marie boarded a plane. And I believe she is out of the country now,” he said slowly as he noticed that Elaina was getting angry.

He did not want to go against Elaina’s wishes, but then again, he had to protect Marie.

Elaina, furious with Jalen, started to launch an attack on him right away. “Jalen! You are courting death!”

Noticing that, Jalen dodged it quickly.

“Calm down…”

Before Jalen could finish his words, Elaina had already launched another attack again. Every attack on him

was full-on and ruthless.

Elaina thought, calm down?

Well, I can’t!

Just like that, the two got into a fight in the small living room, which lasted many rounds.

Of course, most of the time, Jalen was dodging Elaina and did not actually attack her.

Ten minutes later, Elaina was already a little overwhelmed. Then she looked at Jalen, only to find that he was

still calm and composed, his hair in style.

Then Elaina stopped. After tidying up her hair a bit, she said, “I didn’t expect you to be so skilled.”

Growing up, Elaina had been instructed by professionals to defeat the enemy as quickly as she could. It was

rare for her to find her match.

And unexpectedly, Jalen rivaled her in that.

“You are a skilled fighter yourself as well,” Jalen said with a smile. And noticing that Elaina had stopped, he heaved a sigh of relief. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Then, walking to the side, Jalen took a cup of water and handed it to Elaina. “Drink some water.”

Elaina glared at him and took the cup. “This is not over.”

“I know.” Jalen nodded. “Since you are so skilled, how did those three manage to catch you?”

Elaina was silent. She had not had the time to investigate that matter yet.

“When you were having lunch with Jenica at noon today, someone drugged your drink when you were off to the bathroom,” Jalen said.

Elaina raised her eyebrows but didn’t seem surprised. This was how she thought it was as well.

I didn’t expect Ms. Dunston to be so well-prepared. Not only did she have people tie me up, but she also drugged me like that,” she sneered, thinking that she had underestimated Marie.

But Jalen shook his head and said to her, “It wasn’t Marie who drugged you.”

“It was not her?” Elaina’s expression changed.

“It’s the Lory family. Do you still remember Marcus, the one who hit on you last time at the banquet?” Jalen said, trying to turn Elaina’s attention away from Marie. That way, he might be able to suffer less from it.

Elaina was surprised. But soon, she found it made sense.

She never thought that Marcus was a good person. It was just that she did not expect Marcus would be so

bold as to drug her!

What a coincidence that Marie and Marcus were trying to target Elaina almost simultaneously. And thanks to

Marcus, Marie ended up where she was now.

Thanks to Marcus, who failed to take away Elaina then, Marie was involved in the whole thing.

And also thanks to Marcus, who “helped” drug Elaina, Marie’s people could then catch Elaina.

“I can help you deal with the Lory family,” noticing that Elaina was deep in thought, Jalen spoke. “You know

the Lory family is way stronger than the Dunston family, right?”

Elaina glanced at him and said coldly, “No need.”

“Do you think I will forgive Marie just because you told me this? Don’t even think about it!” How could Elaina

not know what Jalen was planning? She would not let him have his way.

Jalen smiled bitterly, but there was nothing he could do. Since Marie had done something wrong and he needed to protect Marie, it was only understandable that Elaina would dislike Marie and him altogether.

He wanted to say something more, but Elaina stared at him and said, “Marie has run away. This is you to blame.”

“Elaina…”

“Let’s hope I don’t have something on you in the future. Otherwise, I will take care of you as well,” she said coldly.
