Chapter 706
Eliza walked in front of the old lady in a slightly embarrassed manner.
The old lady picked up an antique wooden box that was placed on the table, opened it, took out a pair of bracelets made from gold and passed them to Eliza. "Eliza, this is a gift from grandfather and grandmother."
Before she came, she was worried that the elders of the Hughes Family would have the rich's traditional bad habit to despise the poor.
She didn't expect that Richard's grandparents would actually be so easy-going, even giving her a present.
"Grandmother, I can't take this bracelet!" Eliza did not have the face to ask for it, she had come here with Richard to fool them, she was already very guilty, how could she dare to accept such a precious gift?
The old lady immediately said unhappily, "Is this not enough for you?"
"No, I just felt it…"
"Don't tell me that you were found by Richard to act for us, Eliza, I think you are a very honest girl, tell me honestly, are you and Richard really lovers now?" With her shrewd eyes, the old lady could already see that there was something fishy going on.
Eliza was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat.
The expression in Richard's eyes stiffened. He knew that even though his grandmother was old, her eyes were still extremely shrewd.
Therefore, he quickly walked over, and directly embraced Eliza in her arms. His thin lips even kissed her face: "Grandmother, how can you doubt our feelings? If she wasn't my girlfriend, how would I dare to bring her to meet you?"
Eliza didn't think that Richard would actually hug his and kiss her, causing her to be a little stunned.
The next second, she felt a pain in her arm. It was a man pinching her. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
She came to her senses and immediately smiled. "That's right, Grandma. I'm really his girlfriend."
"Alright, I'm just joking with you guys, don't take it seriously!" The old lady actually believed that Richard would not bring women home carelessly.
Eliza was extremely frightened and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The worry in Richard's eyes gradually faded. He reached out and took the gold bracelet for Eliza, then picked up one of Eliza's hands: "Come, put it on."
Eliza felt her hands becoming heavier, she lowered her head and looked at the two gold bangles.
After finishing breakfast, Richard and Eliza hurriedly left.
In the car, Eliza took off the bracelet and gave it to Richard: "Take it, I can't take it!"
"Heh, don't you love money the most? These two bracelets are worth a lot of money!" Richard mocked her.
Eliza's beautiful eyes froze, and then she ridiculed herself: "You're right, I love money, but I won't take your grandmother's money! I'm not that greedy."
"It's better if you keep it. It won't be too late after our agreement ends." Richard said.
"Our agreement is for three months. After three months, how are you going to explain our relationship to your family?" Eliza asked in a low voice.
Richard's face remained calm: "Don't worry, I'll just say that we are not suitable and so, we broke up."
Eliza thought that he would come up with a better excuse, but she never thought that he would actually come up with such a popular excuse.
She was laughing at herself in her heart, yes, she treated herself too seriously, in Richard's eyes, she was just an actor who paid for her act.
"Ok, that's a good reason." She nodded with a smile.
"Eliza, after we break up, don't stay in my company anymore. To prevent others from suspecting you, I can't let my ex-girlfriend continue working in my company." Richard said coldly and heartlessly.
"Alright!" Eliza nodded, and said very straightforwardly: "I will take the initiative to leave, and will not cause you any pressure."
She was also in the entertainment world, so she knew that Big Star like Richard Hughes would definitely not let the rumours get away with them.
Richard rose his head, and swept over her indifferently: "Do you feel reluctant to part away from me?"
"No way!" Eliza replied anxiously: "On the contrary, being together with you, makes me feel extremely pressured. I believe that I have already become a female public enemy, if there is someone who wants to harm me, or throw an egg at me, don't just watch me die, I am doing everything for you."
"Don't worry. If it is because of me, I will protect you." Richard was also straightforward.
"That's good. With your words, I won't be so afraid." Eliza lowered her head and smiled lightly.
Edward sat in the car, his expression solemn.
When he passed the guest room that his brother and Eliza had slept in, he saw a servant tidying up inside.
He didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but he saw that the servant was chatting and said that a quilt had fallen on the bed last night.
Edward himself was a suspicious person, furthermore, with his understanding of the relationship between a man and a woman, he always felt that the relationship between Eliza and his brother didn't seem to be that of a couple.
If two people love each other, the look in each other's eyes can explain everything.
Edward frowned.
Could it be that his brother found Eliza and went back home to fool them around?
Why?
Why did he have to act out such a scene?
Who was it for?
Edward decided to investigate this Eliza thoroughly.
Because he was the eldest brother, out of love for his younger brother, he would definitely not let an unknown woman casually approach him.
His was like a father. Ever since his father passed away and his mother remarried, Edward had always taken care of his younger brother.
With regards to small and large matters, as long as his brother opened his mouth, he had never let him disappointed.
Felicity also went to the company on time.
She still had a few more orders to complete, so she worked even harder.
Noon, Felicity had just finished her work when a beautiful lady at the front desk walked up with a
bouquet of lilies.
Felicity was a little taken aback when she passed her the bunch of fragrant and enchanting flowers.
"Felicity, that's what you see, these flowers are for you." The woman said with a smile.
Felicity curiously took it, "Do you know who gave it to you?"
"I don't know. Someone sent it over by express delivery. There should be a business card on it, right?"
Felicity carefully looked through it, but didn't find a name card, that was weird, who sent her the flowers without a name?
Could it be Richard Hughes?
Thinking about it, Felicity trembled, it was definitely not him.
