Chapter 81
Odette was frantically winking at Violette, but she was too caught up in her thoughts about Ramsey and
Elijah to get the hint.
"Ms. Dennis, I never told you that I knew Elijah because I was worried it might upset you. After all, you
had some beef with him before. I wasn't trying to hide it on purpose...The truth is, I really wanted to buy
out your father's company," Ramsey explained with a smile.
Odette sneakily slipped her phone under the table to text Violette: Violette! Don't listen to his BS! It's
Elijah who wants to buy your company! It's Elijah!
Violette casually opened the text on the table.
Upon reading the message, she shot Ramsey an icy glare: "Have you discussed your intentions to buy
my family's company with Elijah?"
Ramsey still wearing a gentle smile responded, "Yes, I did. I asked for his advice, and he suggested I
give it a shot. I've been looking for investment opportunities since I graduated, as I've mentioned to you
before."
Odette's text came through again on Violette's phone: Violette! He's lying! He's just a pawn in Elijah's
game!
Violette felt colder as she read the message.
She continued questioning Ramsey, "Did your dad really give you the money? Is he available
tomorrow? I'd like to have a chat with him."
Ramsey went pale with fear, "The money...I borrowed it! I didn't tell you the truth at first because it felt
embarrassing to borrow money for investment."
"Who did you borrow it from?" Violette pressed on.
The silent Elijah finally spoke, "He borrowed it from me."
Odette continued texting Violette: They're both lying! Mr. E is Elijah! Ramsey told me himself! Violette,
expose their secret!
Violette's grip tightened on her phone and the glass of water.
Her face was as pale as a ghost. She pursed her lips tight, making her face look even more ghostly.
Elijah was Mr. E.
He was using Ramsey's name to buy the Dennis Group. Regardless of his intentions, the whole thing
disgusted her completely.
Why didn't he come forward himself?
Did he think the Dennis Group wasn't worthy?
Or was he doing it just to humiliate her?
Her mind flashed back to the night she first met Mr. E.
She had been punished by Elijah all night for meeting Mr. E.
Did he find it amusing to toy with her, thinking she's a fool?
If they were alone, she would have slapped him.
But what difference would that make?
She released her grip on the glass, stood up, and walked away with determined steps.
"Violette! Wait for me!" Odette immediately grabbed her bag and ran after her.
Ramsey was left dumbstruck.
Holy crap! They knew each other? Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"Elijah...I'm sorry...I had no idea they knew each other!" Ramsey's mind started racing, his face flushing
red instantly!
Elijah was emotionless as he responded, "When you sent me your girlfriend's picture yesterday, I
thought she looked familiar. Then I remembered, I've seen her with Violette at a concert before. That's
when Violette told me her classmate was there too."
"Oh...so you knew they were classmates, and that's why you brought Violette to meet me!" Realization
dawned on Ramsey, "I was wondering why you'd risk being discovered by Violette and still bring her
here!"
"Did you tell your girlfriend everything?" Elijah asked.
Ramsey scratched his head, expressing genuine honesty in his response, "I did mention it to her
before you all arrived. I wanted her to have a better understanding of you... But I don't understand why
Violette got so angry. Even if she was aware of your intentions to acquire the company, her reaction
seemed exaggerated. Two billion is a significant sum! No one else was willing to offer such a price for
the Dennis Group prior to your involvement."
Elijah's Adam's apple bobbed as he huskily said, "She can't accept the fact that I'm Mr. E."
