A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Chapter 36 Force Eliza to Kneel and Apologize

At the Stone family’s house

Raelyn was in her room full of disdain as she thought of Eliza’s attitude during the day.

Eliza still had the nerve to lie to her. When did that b*tch become so devious? It seemed like she had

underestimated her in the past.

She was supposed to come back at a later date. During that conversation she had with Tanner, he told

her that he would come to see her in a few days. She was overjoyed and had prepared many gifts and

beautiful clothes so that he could see her in her best state.

However, after that, she stopped receiving any news about him. She tried to call him, but he did not

answer her calls.

When she thought of the rumors that Eliza had a special relationship with him, she started to act like a

spoiled child and borrowed the power of Mckenna, the Deleon family’s Madam. She lied to her and said

that she was interested to see Tanner’s daily life. However, she asked her men to secretly follow Eliza.

As expected, there was something wrong. When she looked at the photos, Raelyn’s eyes turned cold.

The photos clearly showed them entering the Civil Affairs Bureau together, and another photo showed

her leaving with a marriage certificate!

There were even pictures of her in a villa she had never seen before. Tanner hid her there.

She was filled with so much hatred that she wanted to come back at once. However, her body was still

too weak at that time, and she was not allowed to leave. After a few days, she finally calmed herself

down, and then she started to analyze the situation.

The Deleon family’s mother was a strong woman. Back then, under the family’s pressure, Tanner’s

father had no choice but to marry Evelynn Reed. However, in the end, for the sake of his first love, he

left his pregnant wife and went abroad. Not only could they not find him, they realized that he had

gotten into a car accident and had passed away.

This incident had a big impact on Tanner’s mother. She was sure that the Deleon family would look

down on Eliza, this pretentious woman who was not on the family’s good side!

As for Tanner’s grandmother, it was needless to say more. Raelyn had always been favored by her

ever since she was a child. She would definitely stand by her side.

Moreover, her father hoped that she could marry Tanner too. At that time, even the Stone family’s

power was one of her trump cards.

As for the matter of their marriage, she was not in a hurry to expose it. This was a big deal, and she

needed to find the perfect opportunity to reveal that information so that it could have the best effect.

She had so many forces supporting her! Raelyn sneered, “Eliza, I’ll see how are you going to fight!”

After she analyzed the situation, she had a thought in her mind. At that point, she could only take good

care of herself so that she could return as soon as possible.

Now that she was back, she wanted to take back everything that belonged to her! Eliza was not worthy

of Tanner at all! She casually flicked a strand of her long hair, and her alluring eyes were filled with

mockery.

……

The next day, she went to the Deleon family to look for Mckenna. The day before, she had told

Mckenna about her return and the old lady had promptly invited her over.

“Raelyn, aren’t you supposed to stay there for a few more days? Why did you come back all of a

sudden?”

Mckenna had always been a tough and dignified woman in front of others, but she was really fond of

Raelyn. The Stone family had taught her well. She was great in music, chess, calligraphy, and even

painting. She was beautiful and had the demeanor of a noble young lady too.

As for the Stone family’s other daughter, she heard that Marco was the one who brought her home.

She was illegitimate and unremarkable, so Mckenna did not have any interactions with her.

“It’s because I missed you and wanted to come back earlier to see you.” Raelyn sat properly and spoke

in a soft voice. She knew that when Mckenna took a fancy to her, Eliza stood no chance at all.

“I think that you miss that little brat too much!”

Raelyn acted shy as if her worries were exposed. She lowered her head slightly and did not say

anything at all.

“Stay here for dinner tonight. I will ask that brat to come back to accompany you.”

Tanner spent a night at the company. After thinking about it for a long time, the two of them had calmed

down. Just as he was about to go back and discuss this situation with Eliza, he received a phone call

from his grandmother.

“Raelyn is back. You should come back and have dinner with her.” Mckenna’s deep voice could be

heard from the other side of the phone.

“I have a lot of things to do in the company today. I am quite busy.” Tanner did not want to go, but he

could not go against his grandmother’s wishes. That was why he used that excuse to evade her.

“You can work any time. But, you must come back for dinner today.” Mckenna spoke in a tough tone.

Tanner could no longer refuse. After thinking about it for a while, he still drove to the Deleon house.

……

Lots of delicious food was displayed on the table.

Mckenna and Raelyn were chatting happily about family matters, while Tanner ate silently. He did not

speak at all.

Raelyn had not seen him for a long time, yet he was still as cold as ever. She did not know why, but

she found him really attractive that way.

Mckenna looked at Raelyn’s eyes, then she looked towards Tanner. She was elated. This girl actually

came back to look for him before she even fully recovered. She could not help but feel a little

distressed.

“Raelyn, how are you feeling? I know a famous doctor in San Francisco who lives in seclusion on an

unknown mountain. Since my grandson is here today, I will ask him to bring you there, okay?” She

looked at Raelyn with a kind look.

“Tanner is very busy, so let’s not bother him. I can go by myself.” Raelyn maintained her gentle and

considerate look when she was speaking.

“How could that do? I can’t be at ease if you go alone.” Mckenna immediately looked towards Tanner,

who was sitting by one side silently. “Today is good. Tanner, bring Raelyn over there to take a look.”

Her tone was a little forceful, it was filled with vigor too.

Upon seeing his grandmother’s expression, Tanner still had thoughts about using an excuse to reject

her. However, before he could speak, Mckenna spoke first.

"Yes or no?" She threatened him.

Seeing that there was no way to refuse, Tanner could only agree. "Fine."

Mckenna was finally satisfied. She looked at how shyly Raelyn was smiling and wondered when she

would have a great-grandson.

……

When Eliza woke up in the morning. The spot next to her was cold. Tanner did not come back the night

before.

She did not know when it began, but she was already used to being with him. When he was not

around, she would not have a good sleep. She felt that the huge house was empty as if it lacked

something.

She got up and looked in the mirror. The exhaustion that was written all over her face could not be

concealed.

She was not in the mood to prepare her own clothes. So, she casually took out a set of clothes from

the wardrobe to put on. After that, she ate breakfast in a hurry. After putting on some light makeup, she

went out.

She worked in the center of San Francisco. It was not a big company. She only chose this company

because of how loose its rules were.

When she was in a hurry, she could almost always ask for leave. The submissions for her drafts were

sufficiently planned too. Moreover, her design could easily attract the attention of others, so her salary

was slightly higher than that of other ordinary designers.

Usually, it was fine as long as she went to the company to draw pictures, fix drafts or other things, and

hand in her designs in time. However, there was a company activity that day. To get more investments,

the company started a small exhibition, which would showcase the successful works of designers for

people to appreciate. Of course, her designs were displayed too.

At first, this matter had nothing to do with her. This was arranged in the company hall, and there were

professionals on hand if anything needed explaining. There was no need for the designers to

personally be there.

There had been small design exhibitions like this in the past. However, something happened this year.

Her design was accused of being plagiarized work!

Apparently, some people suspected she plagiarized her works and that she was making trouble in the

exhibition. This attracted a lot of people to criticize her and even the company.

The people outside could not control the situation, so they could only call her to come out so that she

could explain it to them face to face.

The word ‘plagiarism’ itself was a stain on a designer’s reputation. Eliza knew that her design was

original, so she was not afraid that someone else would find trouble for her.

She left the office and saw the person who was causing trouble in the exhibition hall. He was a man

with a big belly, and a philistine temperament came from him. It made him look like a snob. A man like

him would dare to accuse her of plagiarizing!

"Sir, I designed this dress. Is there anything wrong with it?" Eliza asked in a calm tone with a smile.

Even though she was very concerned, this was a basic professional practice.

“I have seen this drawing somewhere else. This design is obviously plagiarized!” The man spoke

loudly, attracting a lot of people to gather around and gossip.

“If so, where did you see it? And who did that drawing?” Eliza continued to ask in a calm tone.

"It was a long time ago. I don't know who drew it, but it was beautiful and impressed me at that time. I

came to this exhibition today, but I did not expect to see it again! I have asked your people. All the

designs here are new. If it is not plagiarized, what else could it be?"

He spoke in a domineering and loud voice.

This sketch was inspired by the bed of flowers outside her house. The directions of the lines and the

methods used to draw were all inspired by it. If another design like this existed, it could only be similar

at most. It couldn’t be entirely the same.

“Sir, if you want to say that I have plagiarized other people’s work, you need to show some evidence.

But you don’t have any…”

Before she could finish his words, he interrupted her.

"Evidence? Look at me. I’m dressed head to toe in famous brands. Why would I waste my time picking

on a no-name designer like you? Of course, I’ve seen this design before to say that it is plagiarized."

His eyes were full of mockery. "To be honest, your company is not so good. Your designers only know

how to copy other people’s works. No wonder you can't succeed. You can only rely on this way to

attract investment."

"What's the big deal about such a garbage company? Everyone, let's go. There is no need to buy

clothes from here in the future!"

After ridiculing her and the company, the man began to call on everyone to leave. To her surprise, there

was a voice in the crowd that was agreeing with the man. It was obvious that someone behind the

scenes was looking for trouble. Couldn’t they see that?

It involved the company's reputation, so the company's manager came forward. There was a rumor in

the company that there was something wrong with his style, so they had never interacted.

He thought that for the sake of his colleagues, he would speak for her and maintain the company's

reputation. However, he did not care for the truth. He just asked her to apologize!

“Her words made me very unhappy. However, I am not an aggressive person. How about this, just

kneel and apologize to me, and promise me that you will never plagiarize again. After that, we can

consider this matter to be over.”

The man looked like a villain intoxicated with success. He said so much yet he acted as if he was

tolerant and did not care about it.

He and the company manager talked with each other as if they had something planned. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The surrounding discussions grew louder and louder. In the end, everyone joined forces to condemn

her plagiarism. They wanted her to explain!

"Kneel and apologize!"

"Shame on you. How shameless! Apologize. Tell her to kneel down quickly..."

"Yes, she must kneel!"

Upon hearing the finger-pointing of the passers-by, Eliza frowned and stood alone in front of everyone.

Her delicate face gradually turned pale. She clenched her fists hard, but her back was still

straightened.
