Chapter 457 The Truth Behind the One Hundred Million

“I told you yesterday I wouldn’t lie to you about this. Now the evidence proves it. You finally know I

saved you!”

She even sounded pleased.

Eliana felt that as Robert’s savior, Robert and Georgia should lay off her, even if she hurt Georgia once.

She only swirled some trouble around online. Compared to her saving Robert’s life, she didn’t find it

significant at all.

“Back when my mother had her incident, you sent a lot of reporters to surround Georgia and make big

news. One of them physically assaulted her. It showed up on the livestream. Was that reporter under

your command?”

Robert asked that directly.

“That wasn’t my order!”

Eliana said that in a panic, interlocking her fingers, looking nervous.

“I dislike Georgia so I started the drama over Georgia and Sierra’s photo leaking online in the

beginning. A lot of people thought Sierra was being held illegally and abused, so I wanted to suppress

her using internet commentary. I hadn’t prepared to get anyone to go for physical assault yet. It was in

broad daylight. If anything serious had happened to Georgia, you would have mobilized all your

resources to investigate the truth. By then, whether I saved your life or not, you wouldn’t let me go!”

Georgia and Robert looked at each other. They’d investigated reporter who’d assaulted her afterwards.

The man had a wife who cheated on him and abused his mother. His mother then passed away in

anguish. That led to him having mental problems.

Even without Eliana’s direction, he might have just hated Georgia himself and believed the commentary

online, then assaulted her.

Besides, the man said that even if nobody had given him orders, he’d just taken the money to interview

her. Even without the money, he’d have been willing to get involved.

He felt that hurting someone like Georgia was justice. He was thinking of Georgia as his ex-wife.

“I won’t follow up on this for now, and I’ll somewhat believe you’re telling the truth. That reporter’s been

locked up and punished. I’ll ask you something else. Why did you only decide to speak out about this

yesterday? Over the past twenty years, I might have lost all my memories of them now, but I know we

were college schoolmates once. We would have met a few times every year. Why did you choose not

to tell the truth?

“And don’t say it’s because you weren’t looking for returns!”

Robert said, a bit of mockery in his face.

With Eliana’s personality, if she could have told the truth, maybe over ten years ago, or when they were

in college, Eliana would have spilled it.

But the woman didn’t talk.

That only proved that there was something else up with this, and he wanted the truth now.

Eliana was silent for a while.

Milton, who’d stayed quiet all throughout, couldn’t help but raise his voice.

“What is it? Are you still unwilling to talk about it now? I’ve been asking you about it since yesterday.

You kept saying that you only spoke out after seeing Robert today. Are you planning on staying silent

like this?”

Eliana bit her lip. Her face looked a bit strange.

Finally, she clenched her teeth and explained what happened all those years ago.

“My mother and I were just a mistress and a mistress’s daughter. It wasn’t that we didn’t have money.

My father sent money every month and my mother had some wealth. It wasn’t enough to give us an

exceptional life. Afterwards, I don’t know where my mother got the news, but she took me to a hospital

for a checkup. It was just to try our luck and see if we could do a bone marrow match. It was said that if

it was a success, they’d pay a huge sum. It was like buying a lottery ticket. My mother was just trying

her luck.

“Then, we didn’t think it would, but my bone marrow was an actual match. After that, I met your father

Aidan Simpson.”

Eliana raised her head to Robert, her expression holding a tinge of fear.

“Your father had come personally before my mother and talked to her. My mother hadn’t wanted me

involved, but your father said that I had to discuss it with him in person and have me hear the whole

negotiation process. I was only twelve back then, and I only felt like your father was scary. He asked

my mother straight up how much it would take for me to be the donor. Back then, my mother had just

wanted a couple millions, but your father had asked me. He looked me straight in the eye and asked

me how much it would take for me to donate my marrow.

“I didn’t have too good of a concept of money back then, but I just thought that one hundred million was NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

a lot of money. I also felt like your father was looking down on me. Maybe because my pride was hurt

or maybe because I wanted to provoke him, or maybe it was just the impulsiveness of being a child. I

said I’d only donate it if he gave a hundred million. My mother was terrified and I thought it’d be difficult

for your father. I guess I just wanted to see this opportunist intimidated by my sum, but he agreed

straight away and didn’t hesitate for a second. He had the lawyers write up a contract and had me sign

it.

“There was a lot in the contract, and one important term was that I couldn’t tell you about donating the

bone marrow once I signed it, nor could I try to leverage it for a favor. Maybe he was on guard for me

asking you to repay me as your savior. Your father had thought of it all, but to me, that one hundred

million had me spinning. I’d never seen that much money before. My mother and I were both seduced

by that one hundred million, and I signed it. I felt like it was enough not to tell the truth, and it wasn’t

anything important. Afterall, the money was enough for my mother and I to live off for the rest of our

lives. I really thought it was a sum great enough to last me several lifetimes.

“But afterwards, my mother married into the Warner family because of that one hundred million, and I

became the lady of the Warner house. I started studying at noble’s schools, and I got to know who the

boy I donated my marrow to was. He excelled, and was handsome, so I fell for him. I wanted to speak

out about it, but your father sent his people over to warn me not to tell anyone. Whenever I approached

you, your father’s men would appear beside me and warn me. I went to the same college as you and

deliberately closed our distance. I studied the places you’d go to. I got close to you like that, but you

just thought I was your senior. I’d wanted to speak out about this many times, but your father probably

sensed my thoughts and sent people to me on multiple occasions that year. I didn’t even feel like one

hundred million was anything impressive back then. I just needed to guts to spill it, but your father said

that he could have the Warner family broke right away, and to have me wish for death.

“I got to know who your father was and didn’t dare speak out about it any longer. So I could only be

your senior afterwards, and your schoolmate, to try to get you to like me. I got to know your interests

and approached you carefully and did everything I could, but you didn’t even pay me any attention. I

guess you were just born heartless and didn’t care for girls. Then you got engaged to Georgia, but I

could see that you didn’t like her. I guessed that one day you’d call off the engagement. So I waited

patiently, but after all this time, you chose to marry a woman like Georgia. You’re such a prime

specimen, Georgia. Georgia doesn’t deserve you. Even if I couldn’t be with you, why couldn’t you

choose a better person to be with? How could I rest easy knowing you were with Georgia?”
