"Any normal person would think that way." A hint of scorn that was difficult to notice shed across Monte''s eyes. "Lizzie, we dated and lived together before. I know all too well how capable you are. To be honest, if it weren''t for your appearance being the same, I would''ve suspected that you aren''t the real Eliza."


    Charity''s long eyshes drooped, blocking her gaze. "Alright, so you think everything I have today was given to me by Chester? It seems that you can be pretty bold for the sake of luxury. Monte, your attitude is truly undeserving of that face of yours."


    "Lizzie, I really like you. I don''t care about other things," Monte said unhurriedly.


    Charity slowly stood up. "You like the things I have more. Let me guess your and your father''s n. Right now, your father is acting as the bad person and bothering me continuously. He first headhunted mypany''s employees, then had people tamper with my car''s brake pad and steal things from my vi. Everything he did was to scare me. Now, you''ll use soft methods to coax me into marrying you..."


    Monte''s pupils constricted.


    Charity said, "But you''re not truly thinking of marrying me. Instead, you and your father are scheming to snatch my assets. After I get married to you, you guys will slowly make ns again or make me give birth to a child. The child will have thest name Patterson, and my assets will belong to the Patterson family in the end as well."


    After speaking, she stared at Monte sharply.


    Monte felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat.


    His and Toby''s n was figured out by Eliza.


    When did she be so sharp?


    Was she still Eliza?


    "Lizzie, you think too negatively of us," Monte said hoarsely.


    "It''s not negative. You guys have always been this way. Moreover, do you guys really think the public is clueless about Janee Group''s current financial situation?" There was a mocking expression on Charity''s face. "Monte, you''re not as impressive as you look. Janee Hotel has been suffering losses every year for the past few years. If it weren''t for those establishedpanies working with Janee Group, who would want to stay in that hotel of yours? You''re not willing to spend money to refurbish it, and its online reviews aren''t good either."


    Monte could not maintain the arrogance and gentleness on his face.


    His face, which was initially quite goodlooking, became twisted because of anger and humiliation.


    Charity''s expression was filled with disdain. "If you don''t want to admit it, I can only say that I won''t ever fancy people like you anymore. You''re not good enough for me either. I''m busy. You can leave yourself. Stop wasting ourpany''s drinks."


    Monte stood up furiously. "Eliza, I gave you a chance. Don''t be ungrateful. Don''t think we''ll be scared of you just because you know Catherine and Freya. You''re merely their friend. Do you think they''ll protect you forever? I''m telling you this. You''re rich, but you don''t have the right to be arrogant simply because you''re rich in Canberra." "So?" Charity turned her head back slowly.


    "Get married to me or bear the consequences." Monte squinted his eyes." This is a reminder. Things that happened previously were just appetizers."


    "Oh. I''ll wait and see, then." Charity let out a tsk and said haughtily, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that I stopped liking you early on. I got revenge on you not because of hatred but because I want to see your reputation ruined and have you be hated by all women."


    After speaking, she left by stepping on the bright and clean floor.


    Monte never thought he would be humiliated like this by a woman he


    dumped.


    He returned to his car with pent-up anger and made a call. "Dad, Eliza refused. It seems like she''s aware of our aim."
