The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 223 - 219

Chapter 223: Chapter 219

I was hoping Jones could help me out, the information he had was pretty crucial to me.

But at that moment, I was all out of faith

Maybe I was too overconfident. Sure, in my previous life, Jones would have gone nuts for Ariel, just like Damon Coleman, and fight against everyone. But how could I have been certain that he would go crazy for me in this life?

Didn’t Damon’s mad love for Ariel change?

I kept quiet, at a loss for words. After my dad was framed, I could see my future with Jones.

"Why wait for Jones when I’m here?"

Damon asked again, hope shining in his eyes as he waited for my response.

What if I accept Damon’s help? We can’t keep out of each others hair then And what would my dad think?

My mom had a heart attack because I asked Damon for help, and she was still unconscious. It’s a huge burden for me.

I was torn inside, and the air was heavy with tension

"Forget it, even if you need my help, you’d still make me beg" disappointment showed on Damon’s face. He stood up and said. "If you ever want my help. come find me. Until then, I’m hands-off".

He went to the kitchen for a bit and then left.

Just then, Harry came down from upstairs. He must have heard my conversation with Damon, he looked at me seriously and said. "Eliana, you can’t have anything to do with Damon Even though your dad’s

situation is serious, you can’t go to him for help. If your dad knew, he’d rather rot in jail than have you do this!"

Harry and my dad are brothers. One’s a businessman, the other a politician, yet their personalities are pretty similar

Neither of them thinks highly of Damon

"did you find out any useful information? i know my dad wouldn’t abuse his power, you know his character," I was worried sick. "As for the rumors about him messing around, I’ve sorted that".

I used some cash to find Monica’s husband and got him to admit to the plot. So then, some of the public was on my dads side.

Thinking about my dad, not know where he’s locked up or if he was suffering, it was like a needle in my heart.

I’m trying to get some inside information from an old friend. He promised to get back to me in a few days after asking around. Harry comforted me. "Eliana, you’re the only daughter of your parents. You must make the right decisions Don’t act on impulse"

I nodded, Damon’s words echoing in my mind. To that day he was the most influential person I knew if I wanted to solve my dad’s problem fast, he was the best bet

But Harry’s words reminded me that I can’t compromise easily. Damon would have definitely had terms.

That night, I barely slept. The next day I was so tired when i got to the office

Not long after I arrived, my assistant told me that a woman named Scarlett wanted to see me

Hearing Scarlett’s name. I perked up. She was a friend of Jones, and she’s had a thing for him. She might knew where Jones was, she could help me get in

touch with him.

"Send her up," I ordered immediately

Five minutes later, Scarlett walked into my office. Her eyes were red, she looked like she’d been crying, and she gave me a complicated fook, ’Ms. Brooks, we meet again."

I was nervous but kept a poker face. "Please, sit down"

I thought I found a glimmer of hope, but it turned out she wanted me to break up with Jones

"He’s locked up at home by his parents, out of a job. If you don’t break up with him, your family will face revenge from his parents. Ms. Brooks, it sounds disgusting, but they’re doing it for him. I hope you understand I don’t want his conflict with his parents to escalate, he might be kicked out and left with nothing. This is my number. If you want to break up with him, contact me, and I’ll tell him. As long as you break up with him, he’ll back off"

Scarlett’s words echoed in my ears. I sat in my office, my mind blank

On the table was her business card.

I spent the rest of the day in a daze. As soon as I left the office in my car after work, a Lincoln I recognized stopped me.

The window rolled down, and Ariel showed her face, "Eliana, I have something to say. Don’t reject me just yet, or you’ll regret it"

I wanted to crash my car into hers. I had too many headaches around that time. And Ariel, the root of all my problems, dared to show up!

But I needed to talk to her.

I parked the car, and Ariel got in. She looked me up and down, then sighed, "Eliana, you’ve lost weight. Are you overworked?"

"Cut the crap. I’ll clear my dad’s name. You should know the consequences of slandering and framing a public official" I had to keep my cool.

Ariel did all that because she couldn’t accept defeat. She wanted to see me suffer, but I wouldn’t let her

I won’t show any weakness or fear in front of her, and I won’t satisfy her malicious expectations

Ariel sneered. She looked at her disabled left hand, then glared at me, "I haven’t forgotten about my hand, Eliana Brooks. You’re the biggest obstacle my life!"

Amid the roar of the car engine, I kept my foot on the gas

It wasn’t until I noticed something off about Ariel that stopped

Ariel looked pale, she didn’t have the time to ask me anything. Instead, she quickly took some pills from her bag, swallowing them without even a sip of water

"Beat it, don’t bug me!" I shot her a cold look and told her to get out of the car.

Ariel had a heart condition. I had no idea whether she had had a transplant since Nancy took her on as a goddaughter. Even if she had, she wouldn’t have been able to handle any shocks
