Chapter 14 Your Wife Was Being Harrassed
“She was being harassed in the hotel,” Tanner spoke calmly, his voice steady and convincing. “I
happened to pass by her, and I saved her. Michael, I clearly remember seeing you and another man in
the hotel. Not only did you not save her after seeing her being targeted, you even took these photos to
frame her. What were you up to?”
He did not say anything harsh, nor did he argue. He just spoke the truth in a calm and objective tone.
He did not say much, but it made Michael feel so guilty that he broke out a cold sweat.
Michael wanted to refute, but when his gaze met Tanner's determined eyes that seemed to have seen
through everything, the words that he had prepared turned into ash. They were stuck in his throat and
he could not say a single word in his defense. He could only hold it in until his entire face turned red.
When Marco saw his reaction, he immediately understood the truth.
So, Michael was the one who was trying to frame Eliza. But why?
He could not quite understand the truth, nor did he want to waste any time on that matter. He quickly Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
smiled and said, “Looks like it was just a misunderstanding! Eliza, why didn’t you explain this to us
earlier? Look at how stiff the atmosphere is now…”
After all that, he was still trying to shift the blame over to Eliza.
Eliza replied with a sarcastic sneer, “Dad, you should know yourself what I said.”
Marco’s face turned pale. He closed his mouth and quickly gave Penelope a look.
Penelope hurriedly said, “Eliza, since this was just a misunderstanding, we can forget about it now.
Your face seems to be hurting you. Let me apply some medicine for you…”
Marco spoke casually too, “That’s right, it was just a misunderstanding. Tanner, it is rare for you to
come here. Why don’t you join us for dinner tonight. Let’s all clear the air.”
Tanner ignored him, he just lowered his eyes. He looked at the pale and fragile woman in his arms, and
he asked her in a soft voice, “Are you going to leave, or are you going to stay?”
How could Eliza stand to stay there any longer? She did not want to see that scumbag Michael
anymore.
“I want to leave.” Eliza subconsciously tightened her grip on Tanner’s shirt. There was a sense of
attachment towards him which even she did not notice.
Tanner nodded and tightened his arms that were wrapped around her waist. The amount of strength he
used was enough to make her feel at ease.
Perhaps it was because of his existence, Eliza’s reluctance and anger all disappeared. She gained
indescribable confidence as if she had found a strong backer and person to depend on.
Before she left, she stared at Michael again angrily and spat out, “Michael, I want to divorce you. Are
you going to agree to that or not?”
Michael held back the anger in his heart. His entire face was twisted, and his lips squirmed, but he
could not say anything at all.
How could he ever agree to a divorce! He had wasted an entire year pretending to like this girl so that
he could marry her and cover up the fact that he liked men! He even arranged the whole drama of her
sleeping with another man that night.
However, if he did not agree to it, Tanner would definitely tear him apart. At that time, the Francis family
would not have a bright future either.
For the first time, Michael felt that Eliza, a woman who seemed to have no status, was actually a tough
woman that no ordinary person could offend.
He could not lay a finger on her, nor could he lose her. He could only treat her with respect.
“I agree.” Even though his heart was bleeding, Michael could only grit his teeth and agree to it.
He looked down to hide all the emotions that his eyes could not conceal.
As for whether this woman could escape from his hands safely… That was a whole other matter...
