Eliana was not the only one who was rendered speechless because of the video. Maurice, who had set it up, was also surprised.

He had actually set the trap to help Eliana get her parents’ belongings back while teaching Erica a lesson. However, he did not expect that it would also prove his innocence.

‘What a pleasant surprise!’

“Now that you’ve watched the video, can you pay?”

Erica withdrew her phone, staring at the check in Maurice’s hand.

Eliana also recovered from the shock. “Of course! But you have to make up for the difference!”

“Eliana, you are not keeping your promise!” Erica roared.

“Erica, do you think I’m a pushover? Have you forgotten what you said to me by the bathroom? Do you really think that I will still help you without any reason? In your dreams!” Eliana sneered.

Erica’s expression darkened and her heart sank. The money she had would not be enough to pay the difference in the price.

“You pay for it now. I will pay you the rest later.” Erica compromised.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t pay in installments.” Eliana refused, spreading out her hands.

Maurice advised, “How about letting Mrs. Harrison use something else to make up for the difference since she doesn’t have the money?”

“What do you mean by that?” Erica felt like she was drowning.

Maurice looked at her and said, “Your jewelry should be worth some money. Why don’t you use it to make up for the difference?”
