The next morning, Eliana went to work as usual, as if nothing had happened.

As soon as she arrived, whispers began following her.

“I think it was her who spoke to the reporters about Eli yesterday.”

“It looks like her. I don’t know her, but I didn’t expect that she would be so vindictive.”

“It’s probably best to stay out of her way…”

Eliana couldn’t refrain from replying when she heard these comments. She turned around and sneered, “Yesterday, when I was drowning, none of you came to save me. But now, all of you are talking about me. If I had died, none of you would have escaped punishment. You’re all murderers.”

The whispers stopped. No one dared to even look at Eliana again.

They only slandered her behind her back.

Eliana turned away and saw Eli walking towards her.

The negative public opinion of him did not seem to affect him at all. He had a sunny smile on his face, but his words were not pleasant to Eliana.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a strong character. Why didn’t you refuse to pick up the diamonds yesterday? Did you know that Maurice would come to save you?”

Eli was kidding, but Eliana exploded with anger.

“Eli, you must have misunderstood. I did not fetch the diamond bracelet because of your oppression.”

“Why then?” Eli asked, confused.
