It was impossible to hear what they were talking about from afar, but Beverly saw the CFO and then the furious Maury. In an instant, Beverly figured that her misappropriation of the money was exposed!
She planned to get the money back before the end of December. But she gave in to greed and didn't send the money back.
However, before she could steal them all, Maury had noticed.
Beverly hurriedly picked up her bag and was about to leave. Before she left, she pulled Elsie and said, "Hurry up. Follow me!"
Elsie was confused. "What are you doing?"
But she couldn't beat it, so she followed Beverly and bowed slightly to sneak out.
In the hall, apart from the main entrance, there was only the backstage door. However, if they wanted to get to the backstage, they had to walk in front of all the employees. When Beverly bowed slightly and walked out with her daughter, for the first time, she slumped her shoulders without any posture of grace. She almost trotted out of the hall.
After she got out, she immediately called Christy. But she got anxious because that line was busy. Afterwards, she thought now that she had come this far, why not just ran away with the money?
However, she wanted more. If she was given more time, the entire Britt Group could fall into her hands.
Unfortunately, things went sideways.
She ran back anxiously and Daniel was just coming out with his wife.
He saw her faces and knew something was wrong. He couldn't help but take a step forward and ask, "What happened?"
Due to his wife's presence, Beverly looked at him and shook her head. "It's fine."
His wife was extremely pissed off at their eye contact.
At this moment, Harold, who was waiting at the door, already saw Beverly and Elsie coming, so he did not stop Daniel and his wife. Now, the four of them met again. Harold flicked a pearl with his middle finger and hit Daniel's neck. He cried out in pain.
His wife asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Daniel clutched his neck, looked back and saw Harold not far away from him with a numb face. Daniel looked at him in suspicion for a moment and then turned around. "I don't know. I think I was bitten by something," Daniel said.
He was in severe pain. His wife hurriedly pulled open his collar and checked. She turned around and slapped Beverly in the face. "Slut! Is there nothing between you two? What is this?"
Daniel remembered Beverly liked to leave a mark on his neck the most. She left two hickeys on him back in the room.
His collar was ripped open, revealing the kiss marks that were still stained with lipstick.
His wife was trembling in anger. She dragged Beverly's hair and began to fight. Beverly was irritated. Regardless of Elsie standing at the side, she immediately fought back screaming.
Elsie looked at them in disbelief. She already knew that her mother and Daniel had an unusual relationship, but when she went shopping, she pretended to be not knowing. While accepting the gift from Daniel, she happily called him Mr. Daniel.
At this moment, everyone's mask was torn apart in broad daylight. Beverly lost her disguise and turned into a spiteful shrew. Elsie also lost hers. Daniel was trying to stop them, but the two women kept scratching cheeks. He could do nothing but roar, "Stop! Stop!"
Soon, the noise attracted other guests in the hotel. Elsie was so embarrassed that she found herself a lounge to hide.
This was what Eliot saw when he came over. He strode forward and grabbed Daniel's wife's wrist. Beverly took the opportunity to slap her in the face. Just as she waved her hand, she was stopped by Eliot.
Beverly shouted like crazy, "Eliot, that bitch hit me! Let me go! I'll kill her!"
Eliot closed his eyes. He was too tired to make himself heard. "Mom..."
While Beverly was still struggling, Eliot suddenly threw her on the wall and squeezed her shoulder. His eyes were as red as a trapped beast's, and he roared hoarsely, "Can you calm down?"
Beverly was shocked.
Daniel's wife was also frightened. It was quiet in the hotel, but many guests and even some employees in the Britt Group came to see what was going on.
Eliot restrained himself and calmed down. Later, he raised Daniel's collar and shouted, "Harold!"
Daniel's wife was shocked and went to get rid of his hand. She shouted out of fear, "What are you going to do? Let go of my husband! Let go of him! What are you going to do? It's murder! Help!"
Harold hurried over and Eliot pushed Daniel towards Harold. "Don't let him go."
Afterwards, he pulled Beverly and turned around to leave.
Beverly and Daniel's wife shouted at the same time,
"What are you doing?"
Harold already brought Daniel back. His wife had no choice but to curse around Harold. However, Harold turned a deaf ear to her and went on.
Beverly hit Eliot's arm and back and shouted, "Let go! Your sister is gone! I have to find her!"
Eliot was running out of patience. He frowned deeply. The rage in his heart was restrained to the extreme, and he could barely hold it any longer. If he exploded, it would make everyone present shudder.
Beverly was dragged a few steps away by him. She already figured out what he was going to do. She immediately scratched the wall with her hands and feet. "No! I'm not going! Where are you taking me? I'm not going!"
Eliot laughed, but his smile was faint, making him look a little cold and mocking. "Mom, you're an elder. Don't leave the mess to your children."
She had lost her presence while fighting with Daniel's wife. She had no time for her grace and only knew that she could not go with Eliot.
"Eliot, let go..." Beverly tried her best to get rid of Eliot's grip. The back of Eliot's hand was scratched by her fingernails, but he did not let go.
He pulled her out of the hotel and stuffed her into Maury's car.
Beverly turned around and saw Maury's face and went quiet. Maury looked at her as if he was looking at a dead person. Beverly was extremely shocked. She could not open the door, so she could only wind down the window and shout at Eliot, "Eliot! Help me! I'm wrong. I mean it. I'm wrong..."
However, the car already started.. Eliot only paused for a moment, and then he stepped forward firmly.
