Chapter 41 Tyler’s Arrival
“Why would I go with you?” Chris stared at Eleanor, suddenly seeming to understand. “I almost got caught in your trap. You’re trying to scheme against me. Tyler regrets it, so he doesn’t want to go home with you.”
“Chris, I warned you not to be so self–centered, but did you forget?” Eleanor shook her head. “Given our past relationship, do you really think it’s appropriate for us to be alone together?”
Chris sneered. “I thought you had no shame left.”
“No way, I don’t want to be associated with you again,” Eleanor smiled. “I don’t get why my marriage to Tyler has anything to do with you. Why do you keep accusing me of being shameless?
“I didn’t steal anyone’s fiancé. Setting aside your relationship, what’s wrong with me marrying him? Since I chose marriage, I naturally want a good partner.”
Chris was speechless with anger, unable to find a retort.
“You mean Tyler doesn’t want to accompany me?” Eleanor looked at Chris, her face twisted with sarcasm. She took out her phone and made a call, putting it on speaker as soon as it connected.
“Is there something wrong?” Tyler’s deep voice came through the phone.
“Nothing serious,” Eleanor said. “I just want to go home and check on things. I kindly invited Chris and Serena to join me, mocked me, saying you regretted
but Chri
marrying me and didn’t want to go with me.”
“Did he say that?” Tyler’s voice rose, clearly displeased. “You were afraid they’d be embarrassed, afraid she’d be disappointed that the man she stole was worse than me, so you waited until after their wedding to announce our relationship.
“Otherwise, I would have gone with you long ago. Where are you? I’ll come to you now.”
Eleanor gave her location, calmly looking at Chris. “This is how Tyler treats me.”
Chris couldn’t quite believe that was Tyler, thinking, ‘How could Tyler be so gentle? And what does he mean by ‘the man she stole is worse than me?”
“By the way, I just learned a trick. Since Serena fainted, why don’t I give it a try?” Eleanor moved closer to Serena. “Let me handle it. Just one try, and she’ll definitely wake up.”
“What are you planning? Stay away,” Chris demanded. “Eleanor, I knew you wanted to harm Serena.”
Successfully unlocked!
“Are you crazy?” Eleanor scoffed. “I’m trying to help wake her up. I’m still new at this, so I might not be good at controlling the force. But don’t worry.
“The more I practice, the better I’ll get. Put her down. If you delay the best time to

revive her, it’ll be bad.”
Chris shielded Serena, eyeing Eleanor warily. “I warn you not to do anything rash.”
Eleanor took a step closer. “What are you afraid of? With everyone watching, I won’t harm her. Move aside. I’ve seen people use this method to save others.
“I remember Serena has sinusitis too. I heard this method can cure it. I just need to massage her. If she stays in this position for half an hour, she’ll be fine.”
Chris glared at Eleanor. “You’re settling scores.”
“I don’t have any deep grudges against you guys. There’s no need for revenge,” Eleanor sneered. “The hospital is not close by.
“Aren’t you afraid that by the time you get there, it’ll be too late for her treatment? Don’t worry. Trust me. She’ll wake up soon.”
Just as Eleanor was about to get closer, Serena suddenly opened her eyes. “Chris, what happened to me?”
“Oh my.” Eleanor feigned surprise. “I haven’t even touched you, and you’re awake already? Is this trick really that effective? But I’ve seen naughty kids pretend to faint
before.
“They wake up the moment they hear about getting a shot. Serena, I trust you’re not Jying like a child, are you?”
Muffled laughter echoed in the room.
Chris stared at Eleanor, furious. ‘Eleanor has really changed, becoming so sharp- tongued, he thought.
“As I thought, you still have feelings for me, which is why you hate Serena,” Chris whispered. “Everything you’re doing now is in vain.”
“Madam Langford, Eleanor turned to Martha. “If I discipline Chris here, would it embarrass you?”
“It doesn’t matter. Do as you see fit,” Martha said. “Sometimes a lesson is necessary. Otherwise, once he develops bad habits, it’ll be too late.
“He’s used to you being nice to him, so he thinks you’re still the same as before, at his
beck and call,”
Eleanor nodded. “Guys, excuse me. I apologize in advance if I do something that might surprise you. Please don’t be alarmed.”
As Eleanor finished speaking, she picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table, twisted off the cap, and poured it over Chris and Serena’s heads.
Caught off guard by Eleanor’s sudden move, the two couldn’t dodge in time and were drenched from head to toe.
“Are you crazy?” Chris roared.

“In front of so many people, hitting you would be too embarrassing. But I needed to wake you two up. This is spring water imported from Mount Juniper. How about it? Do you feel better now?” Eleanor said.
Some people in the room couldn’t help but laugh again.
Chris, hearing the laughter and seeing Serena, who was huddled in his arms, on the verge of tears but too afraid to cry, was furious. “Eleanor, you’ve gone too far.”
“Who gave you the nerve to yell at Eleanor?” A stern voice came from the doorway as Tyler walked in.
“Tyler?” Chris was surprised that Tyler had arrived so quickly.
Tyler glanced at Chris and Serena, frowning. “In public, you two are all over each other? Where’s your shame? Serena, I’ve investigated you. I know you’re flirtatious, but you don’t have to be so obvious.”
Eleanor’s lips twitched; Tyler’s words were double–edged.
“Tyler, you should investigate “Chris began, but Tyler cut him off.
“What investigation? You’ve always believed what you see, haven’t you? So have 1. And why are your heads all wet?” said Tyler.
“Tyler, Eleanor did it on purpose,” Chris explained what had just happened. “Tyler, don’t Jet her manipulate you. We can’t fight amongst ourselves.”
“Fighting? With you?” Tyler sneered. “You’re overestimating yourself. If a bottle of water isn’t enough to sober you up, then here’s another.”
“Tyler,” Chris was shocked. “How can you do this?”
“What’s the problem?” Tyler retorted. “Isn’t this how you’ve always been? Eleanor, if he disrespects you again, just hit him. I’ve got your back.”
“Okay.” Eleanor linked her arm with Tyler’s. “You are so sweet. Oh, right, he said I
cheated on you long ago.”
“Hmm?” Tyler sneered. “Do they think everyone is like them? No wonder your mood is bad. Eleanor, if you want to go home, I’ll go with you alone.”
“Okay.” Eleanor nodded.
“Is this Tyler? He was so cute and chubby when he was little,” one of the ladies. remarked.
“Pity he’s married. My daughter wouldn’t be a mistress or try to seduce another man’s husband,” another added/
“Eleanor, if you want to know about Tyler’s childhood, you can come to us anytime,” someone else said.
“Hey, are you all joking?” Martha laughed. “If Eleanor wants to know anything, she can just ask me.

Serena clung to Chris, burying her head in his chest. “Chris, Eleanor is actually quite pitiful. Tyler has someone in his heart, and he won’t truly love her. They didn’t even have a wedding ceremony. The nicer Tyler is to her, the more it shows how quilty her feels.
Tyler sneered. “Chris, does Serena have mind–reading powers? How presumptuous”
