He had always acted this way, and Eloise didn’t mind. She sat down beside him.
“Ivor, aren’t you usually busy? How come you have the time to see me? But you’ve come at the right time. The chef is cooking in the kitchen now. Stay and join us for a meal. I’ll go tell them to prepare some items you prefer.”
Hearing Eloise’s words, Chester followed suit, “Yes, Ivor, the dishes will be ready soon. Let’s have a meal together.”
Ivor subtly distanced himself from Eloise, exuding an aura of coldness.
“Eating isn’t necessary. I came here because I have something I want to discuss with Eloise.”
Hearing this, Eloise was overjoyed. ‘I was right! Ivor came to apologize to me and gain my forgiveness.’
When Eloise thought about it, a slight flush came across her face, and her eyes gleamed with coyness.
“Ivor, this matter isn’t urgent. We can discuss it after we eat.”
Although she hoped that Ivor would apologize to her and say nice things, there was no need to rush. After all, having a meal with Ivor at the same table was also delightful.
“Eloise, after what you did, how could you ask me to have a meal with you?” Ivor threw a document folder in front of Eloise. “Take a look for yourself.”
Eloise’s attitude somewhat shifted as she sensed something unfavorable about what was in front of her. She hesitated, unwilling to open it.
“I… Ivor… What do you mean by this?”
“Open it.” Ivor looked at her expressionlessly.
Unable to refuse, Eloise reluctantly took the folder and opened it.
Her face changed, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes when she saw the first page about hiring online ghostwriters to attack Bonnie. However, it was only momentarily, and she forcefully concealed that expression.
As she continued to read, she became increasingly alarmed. Eloise felt like she was in agony. But she also knew that she had to play dumb.
“Ivor, what is this you’re showing me? I don’t quite understand.”
Chester vaguely realized something was wrong. “Eloise, let me see that document.”
Afraid of being found out, Eloise pretended to be calm and handed the document to Chester. Chester took the document and quickly noticed something was amiss.
Sharron, who was standing beside him, also noticed.
“Weird? How come there’s 50 grand that flowed out of our subsidiary company?”
Although 50 grand was not much for the Gallagher family, it was a large sum for a small company.
Chester and Sharron both turned their gazes to Eloise.
“Eloise, what’s going on with this money? Did you do this?”
Eloise put on an innocent expression, “Mom, Dad, I don’t know what’s going on with this.”
