Was Rosalynn Brian's Lover now? Did he not Love Eleanor anymore?

“Rosalynn!"

Eleanor's teeth gritted in hatred as she thought of the day's events.

Just then, someone approached, carrying a bouquet of flowers.

"Eleanor, this is for you.”

The man presenting the flowers was Malcolm Gordon, an admirer of Eleanor's from a wealthy family in Wragos.

“Malcolm, you didn't have to." Eleanor accepted the bouquet, passing it to Moira with a strained smile.

Upon seeing the red imprint on her face, Malcolm frowned.

“why is there a slap mark on your face? Who dared to mistreat you?"

Eleanor gingerly touched her cheek, feigning fragility.

"It's nothing."

“Tell me, who was it? I'm going to have a word with whoever did this to you!"

Malcolm had been enamored with Eleanor ever since he saw her in a movie.

Even rumors of her involvement with Brian didn't deter his affection for her.

“Eleanor, I think it's best to tell him the truth," Moira interjected, desperate to amend her previous error

“Moira, tell me. Who wronged Eleanor?" Malcolm demanded.

“It was a designer. She orchestrated some sort of trick on Eleanor, and got her bitten by a snake."

Moira relayed the recent event, conveniently omitting the part that they had asked one of the stuff to put the snakes in the water.

Upon hearing that, Malcolm was miffed.

“A designer did this to you? Eleanor, I won't let this go unanswered."

Eleanor could hardly conceal her delight. Still, she managed to keep a neutral expression.

"I value your support, but revenge isn't the answer. She's a designer with a strong reputation. A physical altercation would be unseemly.”
