Ethan’s vigilance was heightened.

He could now get money from Gerald. He no longer cared about Maurice. But if Maurice got involved, things would go downhill fast.

“You’re going to take this.” Ethan took the phone and placed it in front of Eliana. “Tell him right now that it was all a joke. Follow my instructions exactly. Avoid engaging in deception.”

After that, Ethan answered the phone and placed the speakerphone on.

A guy said with eagerness, “Eliana! What is your location? What transpired? I’ll be there at a moment’s notice.”

Eliana was taken aback by it for a moment. Preston clearly cared for her, and she could tell. At the same time, her eyes started to become red and she felt a lump in her throat.

Preston was such a blundering idiot. Despite the fact that she had been harsh to him, he still deeply cared for her.

As a result, Eliana became more reluctant to put him in harm’s way.

“Nothing. It was simply a joke. I was defeated in Truth or Dare. Preston, are you serious? It’s absurd. I’ve already informed you that our relationship ended. Please don’t bother coming. There is no way I’ll ever see you again!”

Eliana lied to cover up her anguish. She made slanderous remarks about Preston in an attempt to stop him from coming.

Preston, on the other hand, was unconvinced by her inept deception.

He believed that Eliana would say anything against her will as she was in danger.

“Eliana, please hold.”

Preston made good on his word and ended the call.
