Chapter 2007 A Comedy Of Errors
Elisa nodded, feeling somewhat comforted.
The two smoothly made their way into the presidential suite.
Concurrently, Mike finally had a chance to relax after a night of S**. He chose to take a bath before going back to sleep.
As soon as he arrived at the living room, Elisa barged in like a bandit and marched toward him with intimidatingly, © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Eh? Who are you? Are you Ms. Benett?” asked Mike.
Gareth looked at him, probably misunderstanding something. Before Mike could react, he directly landed. a punch on Mike.
Before Mike had a chance to react, he was knocked to the ground.
Elisa rushed into the bedroom, only to find Bella lying on the bed with a pale face and tightly closed eyes. She was extremely anxious.
Upon a second glance, she realized that the clothes Bella was wearing were not the ones from yesterday.
Overwhelmed with rage, she stormed out to confront Mike once again.
She clutched Mike’s collar with one hand while forming a fist with the other.
Mike narrowed one eye, speaking indignantly. “Why did you hit me? Do I still need to get beaten for being a good person?”
Elisa’s fist stopped just about ten centimeters away from his face.
She asked, “What do you mean by that? Can you explain?”
Once Mike regained his senses, he struggled to get up, wrenching his collar from Elisa’s grasp.
Gareth helped Elisa up, his gaze fixed intently on Mike.
However, Mike wasn’t easily frightened. Who would be happy about getting beaten up for no reason at all?
Mike snorted coldly. “You didn’t plan properly, and due to your carelessness, Bella almost ended up in the hands of that rotten old man. I was the one who rescued her, and now you want to hit me? What kind of logic is that?”
Seeing how righteously he sounded, the couple thought they might be in the wrong.
Upon recalling the incident with Bella, Elisa was already filled with guilt. Thus, she was inclined to believe most of what he said immediately.
Yet, Elisa still cautiously asked, “Why are Bella’s clothes different from yesterday’s? Even… Even her underwear has been changed.” Elisa probably felt a bit embarra*sed to utter the last sentence. Also, she felt that once she pointed out what had happened, it would become a fact.
After all, why would a man and a woman inside a room have to change clothes for no reason?

When Elisa entered the room, she noticed two tags on the bedside table. They were from a woman’s undergarment.
Clearly, it was for Bella.
Mike’s face turned red, but he still stubbornly argued, “That fatty drugged her. Before the doctor arrived, Bella chose to take a cold bath to avoid being controlled by the drug. It was only after the doctor came and gave her an injection that she gradually fell asleep. All that happened late at night, but I couldn’t just let. her sleep like that. Otherwise, she would catch a cold.”
Gareth frowned. “This is your reason for changing her clothes?”
“It wasn’t me who did it!” Mike’s eyes were wide with disbelief. “I tipped the waiter to do it. I’m not the kind who takes advantage of others in their time of need.”
The last sentence was spoken softly by Mike.
From then on, most of Elisa’s doubts were dispelled.
“I’m sorry for wrongly accusing you.” Elisa bowed to Mike.

Gareth watched from the side, not intervening.
He knew she wasn’t bowing for offending Mike or misunderstanding him.
Instead, she was doing it because she was grateful for his help when Bella was on the verge of being tarnished.
