"I can vividly recall your presence in my bed over a month ago.”

Eleanor's expression changed.

She looked around and found that everyone was dancing on the dance floor, so no one noticed them.

"John, can I have a word with you?"

John, still smiling, followed her.

The two of them found themselves in a secluded corner. Eleanor attempted to maintain a facade, keeping the truth hidden.

“John, don't let your imagination run wild. Yes, we did share a night, but the child I carry is Brian's."

Upon hearing this, John Let out a smile.

“Oh really? Eleanor, what a fortunate sequence of events. Just over a month ago, following our passionate night, you suddenly had a surge in resources, even replacing me as director. I assume Brian was under the impression that he was the one you shared a bed with that night. You didn't want me disrupting your scheme, so you urged Brian to replace me, correct?"

Eleanor's eyes dimmed as her fingers involuntarily clenched.

John continued, "I recall a client attempted to trap Brian that night and ended up being banished from Wragos by him. That night, Brian did share a bed with a woman, but you pretended as her, didn't you?"

He had hit the nail on the head.

Eleanor tried to bluff, "Ridiculous, John, stop spouting nonsense."

John scoffed, "Nonsense, you say? Fine, let me enlighten Brian that I was the one who had sex with you at Royarid Club over a month ago.”

After saying that, he pretended to leave.

Eleanor's face paled. She seized his hand, reluctantly making a confession.

"Yes, the child I'm expecting is indeed yours. Don't confront Brian."

John's skepticism persisted, yet a surge of excitement washed over him upon hearing Eleanor’s revelation

“Eleanor, could this child truly be mine? You are really good at playing tricks!"

Eleanor's expression darkened. The last thing she wanted was to admit any connection between this old man and her unborn child.

However, she found herself with no other option but to calm John for the time being. john, let's make a deal."

"What kind of deal?"
