Chapter 7 Sylvia boasted proudly about her " victories . " Elliot burst through the door in a fury . He stormed forward and grabbed her by the shoulders . " Explain yourself ! What really happened back then ? Was it Davina who made you infertile ? " Sylvia trembled all over . " You heard everything- " Eloise rose slowly with her cane , sighing . " Elliot , let go of Syl . Back then , she drugged you . To protect the Jackson family's reputation , I had Davina help reverse it . You've always hated being drugged , and to avoid affecting your relationship with Syl , I let Davina take responsibility for it . " I also sent Syl abroad against her will , which was unfair to her . She feared you would be attracted to Davina and tried to frame her . In reality , she was naturally infertile . " In the end , all of this was truly our wrongdoing toward Davina . " Sylvia sobbed softly . " Yes , Elliot ... I only made mistakes because I loved you too much . " Hearing their half - hearted , self - serving explanations, Elliot felt his temples throb . So it had all been lies . The person he had thought was guilty was actually innocent . What did his revenge against Davina all these years amount to ? Davina hadn't driven Sylvia away , hadn't caused her to be hurt by a scumbag and rendered infertile , and certainly hadn't orchestrated Sylvia's assault . But what had he done to this devoted , loving woman ? Remembering his past cruelties , his chest tightened as though he were suffocating . Sylvia watched him standing there in a daze and finally breathed a sigh of relief . As she expected , more than 20 years of love between her and Elliot could never be shaken by that wretched woman , Davina . Even from abroad , she knew Elliot had punished Davina for her sake . He had used her own children without hesitation as part of his fertility experiments . It was proof of his love . If not for social conventions , he would have married her long ago . 0.00 % 09:06 Chapter 7 288 Vouchers It still wasn't too late . As long as she coaxed him properly , the title of Mrs. Jackson would be handed to her without question . If she gave him a son , everything in the Jackson family would be hers . In that sense , Davina had at least served some purpose . Sylvia pressed her soft chest against Elliot's back and cooed , " Eli , you and Davina don't have any real feelings anyway . Why don't you be with me ? " The overwhelming scent of her perfume hit him like a punch . He nearly gagged . As a child , his father would come home every night with a different woman's perfume on him , and his mother would fight him over it . He had grown up in that endless cycle of quarrels until the car accident that killed his parents . Elliot was brought back to the family estate by Eloise . Since then , the scent of perfume always made him physically nauseous . As the head of the Jackson Group , he could never reveal his preferences . Yet Davina seemed to understand intuitively . Except for the first time they met , she never wore perfume - only a subtle , fresh scent of lime . Calm , clean , with a lingering sharpness that hinted at resilience . She had endured unimaginable suffering yet refused to yield . Even in just a few months together , she sensed his discomfort , unlike his adopted sister of many years . That was why he expected so much from her - no betrayal or slightest lapse . Seeing the 100,000 - dollar contract with Davina and Eloise , he had assumed she was only acting out of money . " Wait ... If everything about Sylvia has been fake , is there more to the 100,000 - dollar contract ? " he thought . Shoving Sylvia aside , he turned urgently to Eloise . " Grandma , what exactly was that 100,000- dollar contract with Davina ? " " Contract ? Oh , that ! " She recalled after a moment . " That covered Davina's sister's yearly medical expenses . To protect her , I put Davina's name on it . She repaid me faithfully over the following years . She's so stubborn . " Elliot could no longer hold it in . He collapsed onto the couch and slapped himself hard across the face . Seeing him in such a daze , Sylvia screamed incredulously , " Eli , could it be that you've fallen for Davina , that bitch ? " Impossible ! I've been so good to you ! The position of Mrs. Jackson should be mine . " 45 92 % Chapter 8 Chapter 8
