Chapter 476

Yet, Joanna didn’t appear in any of those videos.

“Eli, how’s Win? Has he come around yet?” Joanna asked with concern.

Eli shook his head. “Not yet.”

Then, he glanced toward Sean’s ward, puzzled as to why Joanna had come out from there.

“As Win’s assistant, you should take good care of him.” Joanna’s tone was laced with reproach.

Eli gritted his teeth, unable to tolerate Joanna any longer. “And how did Mr. Greer end up in the sea? Wasn’t it because of you, Ms. Lowell?” he snapped, almost spitting her name.

Joanna’s lips parted slightly as she noticed a change in Eli’s tone. He usually spoke with a calm demeanor.

Eli continued coldly, “Ms. Lowell, the woman who tried to push you off the cruise ship was hired by you.”

It wasn’t a question. It was an accusation.

Joanna was at a loss for how to defend herself. So, she retorted, “Yes, I hired her. What’s the big deal?”

“Why would you do that? What was the purpose?” Eli asked with a frown. Her actions would only make Winston dislike her more.

With an air of arrogance, Joanna replied, “I just wanted to see if Winston would decisively choose me. What’s wrong with that?”

“Ms. Lowell, you’ve completely ruined your chances,” Eli stated.

“What do you mean?” Joanna’s anxiety was now evident.

Eli’s lips curled into a smirk. “Sonny told me everything.

Joanna’s face went pale with shock as soon as he finished speaking. What? Wasn’t Sonny dead? She had always thought that dead people couldn’t talk.

Why? How did Eli know about this?

“Ms. Lowell, there are no secrets that can’t be uncovered. Sonny had leverage over you. But instead of treating him well, you chose to threaten him. Who could remain loyal in such a situation?”

Joanna’s face flushed red with embarrassment at Eli’s words. But a thug like Sonny won’t stay in line without being threatened. Treating him well will only make him more demanding.

“Are you suggesting I should have kept someone who was never satisfied around?” Joanna countered.

“Are the Lowells so short on cash that you can’t handle this situation with money? Or would you rather risk your deception being exposed?” Eli raised an eyebrow, his tone challenging.

Joanna was rendered speechless. If money could solve the problem, it wouldn’t be an issue. The trouble only started when money wasn’t enough to make things right.

“Have you… told Win?” Joanna asked through gritted teeth.

“I’m on my way to inform him,” Eli answered with a smile.

Joanna immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm. “Eli…” Her voice carried a desperate plea she had never shown before.

After enduring Joanna’s mistreatment for so long, Eli finally got the upper hand. She used to insult him, but now, she was in the same humiliating position.

“Eli, I’ll give you whatever you want. Just help me keep this secret, okay?” Joanna clenched her jaw while gripping Eli’s arm tightly.

Eli sized her up as she continued, “If you leave Winston, I’ll set up a company for you. I know you’re talented and not any less capable than Win.

“Eli, I’ll provide you with anything you desire. I’ll even make sure you have all the wealth you could wish for, as long as you keep this secret for me!”

Eli clicked his tongue in surprise. “That’s a generous offer.”

“Yes, luxury cars and beautiful women, you can have everything you want! Just don’t tell Win,” Joanna pleaded.

She couldn’t afford to lose Winston.

However, Eli simply brushed her hand and said, “Joanna, even if I keep quiet, Mr. Greer has already sensed something. Instead of waiting for him to confront you, it’d be better to come forward and admit your mistake yourself.”

In the next second, Joanna stumbled backward and pressed her back against the wall, her eyes slowly filling with despair.
