The Foolish Heiress Reborn（228）

Chapter 228
Billionaire’s Reborn Baby novel Chapter 228

All of them were silent.

Sydnee’s and Eliot’s eyes met, and Sydnee felt a little embarrassed after a few seconds. She instinctively wanted to take back her hand, but Marquise mistook her action. He thought she was trying to get rid of him in front of Eliot.

Rey’s companion was a nosy gossiper. When he saw Eliot, he immediately remembered that Eliot had had fight with Marquise for Sydnee at the last banquet, so he smiled and said, “Hey, isn’t that Mr. Eliot who had a fight with Mr. Marquise for Miss Sydnee last time? What a coincidence. Rey, stop messing with them. Hurry up and come over here.”

As the gossiper saw Eliot holding onto Elsie’s arm, he thought for a moment and said joyfully, “Hey, that’s Miss Elsie, right? Rey, I heard that you flirted with her when you two were at the Buckley’s before…. The relationships among you people are so complicated. You bullied someone’s sister, so your woman is taken away by her brother….”

He originally wanted to make an excuse for Rey, but as Marquise heard it, he looked at the gossiper coldly and said, “Do you think you are the only man with a mouth?”

That gossiper was still smiling. Rey wanted to leave because he saw Marquise’s intimidating gaze. However, Marquise’s bodyguards had come up to them and blocked their path.

Sydnee struggled but couldn’t take back her hand, so she knitted her eyebrows and said to Marquise, “Let go of me.”

Marquise really let go of her hand and even tried to protect her with his body. He said, “Stay away.”

Sydnee felt that Marquise was crazy, so she headed towards the hotel without looking back. In her high heels, she stepped onto the fresh roses mercilessly. And Elsie dashed into the hotel again as Eliot loosened his grip in a daze.

Only when Eliot saw Sydnee approach him did he realize that Elsie had went inside again. He frowned slightly and heard Marquise ask, “Was it you who hit me in the hospital last time?”

Sydnee had just walked past Eliot. She froze as she heard that. Seeing that Sydnee cared about Eliot that much, Marquise was so angry that his blood was boiling. The injuries in his abdomen hadn’t fully recovered yet, and he could even taste blood in his throat vaguely at the moment.

Eliot glanced at Marquise and mocked, “I’m not that despicable.”

Sydnee felt a little relieved when she heard this. After all, it was her who had cause the trouble that time. She did not want to get Emily’s brother, Eliot, also into trouble.

“Alright, the agreement we made on the day we fought was valid then.” Marquise smiled.

Sydnee instantly stiffened. What agreement did they make?

Of course, Eliot knew what Marquise meant. Eliot had always been a humble gentleman, but he had made himself like a villain now. He wrapped his arm around Sydnee who was standing beside him to turn her around. He smiled humbly and said, “What agreement? I don’t remember it. Sydnee, do you remember it?”

Sydnee stared at him stiffly. The two of them were so close that she could see the emotions in Eliot’s eyes. Although his eyes were still gentle, there were some dark emotions in them. Feeling that Eliot’s grip on her shoulder was getting tighter, she forced a smile and shook her head, “I don’t remember.”

Eliot loosened his grip slightly, but his arm was still wrapped around Sydnee’s shoulder as he said, “Let’s go.”

Sydnee could only hope that Marquise would give up on her after today. Otherwise, she really didn’t know what else to do, because Mr. and Janice would definitely urge her to get married as soon as possible.

Marquise stood there in a daze as he watched Eliot and Sydnee walk into the hotel. Rey and his companions wanted to hurry away, but Marquise suddenly remember they had also provoked him. As Marquise was about to get up to chase after them, he suddenly spat out blood from his mouth.

Rey and his companions turned to look, and the gossiper even touched the blood on the ground and said, “Holy crap, do you think you’re shooting a movie? Is this real blood? Damn, it is!”

Marquise’s bodyguards were all ready for a big fight, but then they suddenly saw their boss spitting out blood in the moonlight. The blood was splashed everywhere, and it even stained the bodyguards’ faces. As they wiped their faces, Marquise fell to the ground. Only then did they realize that they should carry Marquise to the car.

After crossing the maze and coming to the lawn, Sydnee immediately detached herself from Eliot’s embrace. She knew it had been a long time since they last met, but she still remembered that Eliot happened to have heard the nonsense she said to her mother in the car. In embarrassment, she was hoping that he had forgotten about it.

Eliot also put away his phone and walked in the hall. He had been busy dealing with his troublesome sister, Elsie, in the banquet hall, and didn’t even have time to keep his eyes on Emily. However, not only did he let Elsie run away, but he also failed to find Emily.

At this moment, Emily was waiting in the bathroom. Sydnee hurriedly handed over a bag in her arms to Emily as soon as she got inside the bathroom. Sydnee asked, “Have you waited for a long time?”

Emily tilted her head and said sincerely, “A little.”

Sydnee smiled and said, “Hurry up and give the gift to him.”

Just as Emily was about to leave with the gift in her hand, she turned around to approach Sydnee and sniffed the air.

Sydnee froze and ask, “What’s wrong?”

“You met my brother?” Emily asked.

Sydnee was puzzled.

She also sniffed at herself and then asked in astonishment, “How do you know? I smell like him?”

“I can smell his perfume and his hand cream. He has probably touched your shoulder.” Emily sniffed at Sydnee’s left shoulder and asked curiously, “Did he put his arm around your shoulder?”

Sydnee was shocked again, “How did you know?”
