Chapter 697 It didn't take long before Eloise's phone rang, and she did not even have to look to guess who it was.
Eloise’s face remained expressionless as she stared at the woman embarrassedly pacing across the street.
Then she slowly picked up the phone.
The moment she pressed the button, she seemed to have changed into a different person as she anxiously wailed, "Honey! My cards are gone! What should | do? What should | do?!" The other end of the phone was silent.
Even Arianna, who was entirely in on this, could not help but secretly praise her mother when she saw how fast Eloise got into character.She did deserve to be the best actress.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBesides her expressions, even her voice sounded anxious and worried.
No one would think that she did anything.
"How did you lose your cards? Slow down and tell me.Which cards are missing?" "I don't know! | lost all my cards and my wallet! It's all gone! There's no way.| know | brought them with me.How did it all disappear?!" Although Eloise was sitting there motionlessly, her voice sounded like she was panicking with a hint of grievance.
Hearing her like this, Joseph held back the question he was about to ask.
"Don't worry, and just trace your steps.You're not usually careless; I'm sure you can find it.Did it fall inside the car? Where did you go?" "I don't think it's in the car. didn't get the driver to send me today.I-I don't know what's going on.Maybe it fell when | was in the toilet, or someone stole it while | was shopping?" Eloise sounded like she wanted to cry.
"It's okay.I'm just worried that someone might have taken it and tried to swipe them.!'ll freeze all the supplementary cards under your name.Don't worry; even if someone steals it, they can't use them.It's just a little trouble to report the loss and re-apply for new ones." At this point, Joseph had completely fallen for her lies.He sighed and said, "Thank God the losses aren't big.How can you be so careless? Go and make new ones.|f you lose them, just report the cards that you lost. Why did you freeze all the supplementary cards under my name?" "How would | know how many cards I lost? | don't remember each of the numbers! Besides, it's to protect our money.What's wrong? Do you need money right now?" She asked rhetorically.
However, this sent him into a spiral as he stammered, unable to answer.
"N-No, | don't need money now.It's just that...it's nothing serious.I'm not in a good mood right now.I don't feel like talking any longer.I'll hang up first!" With that, he hung up the phone without waiting for her to answer.
Watching all this unfold, Arianna could not help but praise her mother's acting skills.
Everything was so smooth sailing and preemptive.
Not only did Joseph not question Eloise, but he was utterly speechless.
When Arianna turned to look across the street, she guessed that Joseph had called Elizabeth back to tell her about the cards and that she could not buy anything today.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Eloise was in this dilemma, she could easily have whatever she bought sent to the house and paid for them the next day.
However, it was different for Elizabeth, a nameless mistress.She knew better than to do that.
No one could not predict when these wealthy men would get bored and drop their concubines.
Therefore, she could only angrily stomp out of the store.She could not figure out why the cards could not go through.
Arianna was relieved as she watched Elizabeth stomp away frantically, and Eloise was also naturally in a better mood.
"Ari, come, let's get you a little something." "Mom, didn't you want to go home?" Arianna asked knowingly.
"I don't, now!" Eloise grinned, seeming like she had just won a significant victory.
