Chapter 82 Enemies Were Hard To Avoid
After she escaped upstairs, Eloise’s face was still red.
She leaned behind the door, her heart still beating very fast. Eloise sighed and could not help but
blame herself for being so useless, for being so uneasy because of a sentence Solomon said.
She drank some water and rested for a while, then Eloise took her pajamas into the bathroom to bathe.
The hot water poured onto her body, and she finally felt that her brain was clearer.
While she paused, Eloise could not help but think of the Thompson family. According to what Hector
said, the Thompson Group and the Gardner Group was facing such a huge problem, but they would
surely not give up. They would surely plan on something again when they get back, and they would
probably find her again. She really had no idea what might happen.
For this to continue again and again was not the way to go, even if they did not feel that it was
troublesome, it was troublesome for her!
After she took her bath, Eloise blew her hair dry and posted about her intention to rent a house online.
She planned to change her place of residence, so the Thompson family would not be able to find her
for the time being.
At this moment, her phone on the table rang.
It was a message from Hector.
“Solomon and I are home. Rest early, good night.”
Seeing the short sentences on the screen, her expression became soft at the moment.
“Good night,” she replied.
Afterwards, Eloise shut down her computer, laid on the bed and fell asleep.
…
The afternoon of the second day, Eloise went to view a house with the agent that she had contacted.
This was a house that was rather close to her company. Except that it cost more, the house were quite
alright.
Leaving the neighbourhood, Eloise was talking to the agent.
“Mr. Lee, I just want to ask if the rent could be cheaper?”
Her mother was still sick now and a large sum of money could be needed at any moment. Eloise
wanted to save as much money as she could.
The man on the side shook his head and answered apologetically, “I’m sorry Miss Thompson, the rent
is set by the owner, so we can’t give you a cheaper price. Further, this house is renovated specially and
the ambience and security of this neighbourhood is very good. You can move in any time.”
“Can’t you contact the owner of the house?” Eloise frowned slightly.
“Well… about this, house owners is usually very busy. This is only one of the smaller houses that he
owns, and he had long instructed that there is to be no price negotiation.”
Hearing this, Eloise sighed, planning to thank the agent and view other houses. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
At this very moment, a man dressed in a suit walked over from not far away.
The agent’s eyes lit up and he introduced while smiling, “Miss Thompson, coincidentally, the gentleman
in front is the owner of this house. If you want to negotiate about the price you can talk to him.”
Eloise paused slightly. What a coincidence. She looked towards the agent’s line of view and the corner
of her eyes instantly contracted.
It was actually Robbie.
Eloise was speechless.
What sort of bad coincidence was this?
Even when she was looking for a house, the house could happen to be of his.
At this moment Robbie saw Eloise as well and he walked over.
The agent on the side smiled and greeted him respectfully, “Mr Gardner, what a coincidence.”
Robbie took no heed of him, his gaze landing on Eloise now, seeming a little confused as to why she
was here.
The agent introduced, “Mr Gardner, this is Miss Thompson who came by to view the house today. She
just asked if the rental price can be cheaper.”
Robbie paused as he heard this. He smiled. What a coincidence.
Eloise was expressionless as she spoke clearly, “No need, I’m sorry, Mr. Lee, I won’t be renting this
house.”
She had been finding for houses just to avoid the Thompson family and the Gardner family, how would
it be possible that she would rent Robbie’s house? Was this not just asking for trouble?
“What?” The agent looked confused. Had their discussion not been going fine just now?
After Eloise said so she turned and wanted to leave, yet Robbie blocked her way.
“What? Anything I can help you?” Eloise frowned, and it was evident that she did not want to talk any
more with Robbie.
Robbie examined the woman before him. His tone was soft as he said with a smile, “Are you looking for
a house, Eloise? If you don’t mind, I have a better house than this for you to stay in. Can I take you to
have a look?”
He originally passed by to handle some affairs here, and he did not expect to bump into Eloise. Robbie
naturally would not let this opportunity pass.
Hearing this, Eloise laughed coldly, “Just tell me directly what intentions you have, you don’t have to
hide.”
Seeing her attitude, Robbie frowned slightly.
“You don’t have to be so defensive towards me, Eloise. Since we grew up together, I should help you.
Further, it’s just a house. It’s nothing.”
Eloise glanced at Robbie sarcastically, “Well, when have you become so benevolent?”
To say that Robbie had no intentions, it was impossible for Eloise to believe.
“Do you have to be so overbearing, Eloise? I really just want to help you.”
“Enough, I don’t have the time to waste talking with you here.”
Saying this, Eloise once again tried to leave. She did not want to waste time here with Robbie at all.
But Robbie held onto her wrist. Since he had softened his attitude and Eloise had not give him any
good looks, he no longer planned to act nice.
“Eloise, I know that you’re still angry for what Agnes had done before. I apologise to you on her behalf
and hope that you no longer think about it. You should convince Mr Rogers as well, ask him not to
suppress the Gardner Group and the Thompson Group anymore. This won’t do us any good.”
This was naturally Robbie’s true intentions, to exchange Eloise’s convincing of Hector with a house.
This was worth the price.
Eloise flung his hand away, and looked at Robbie sarcastically.
“Don’t think about it? Agnes was vicious, if it weren’t for someone saving me at the right time that night,
I would have been done for. Do you think an apology would suffice?”
She would never forgive Agnes in this lifetime.
Robbie’s face showed a little displeased, his tone was a little dark.
“What else do you want? Eloise, if you push us to our limits don’t expect to live your days happily. You
make a compromise now and it would be good to all of us, I promise. If only you convince Hector, the
Thompson family and the Gardner family won’t disturb you anymore. If anything happened to you after
we would help you as well.”
“Sorry, but I won’t go convince Hector.”
Robbie may sound nice with his offers now, but what about after?
How disgusting the two families were, Eloise had already known.
Seeing Eloise’s attitude remained stubborn as so, Robbie’s expression went completely dark.
“Don’t be foolish, Eloise. How long would Hector like you afterwards? He’s only nice to you now. When
you’re abandoned with no one to rely on, do you think that you won’t be needing our help? To go to the
extremes now won’t be beneficial for you at all.”
