Chapter 154 As dusk fell, Ellie pushed open the door to a luxurious suite in the Earl Hotel.

Inside the private room, Alex was playing cards with a few people. Seeing Ellie, drenched from the rain, standing at the door, Alex pulled his gaze back carelessly and continued to shuffle the cards.

The others, like Alex and Layton, were all influential, wealthy young men from the scircle.

Haley's recent scandals were all over the place. Everyone was aware of the delicate relationship between Alex, Ellie, and Haley, so they all looked at Alex.

"Keep playing," Alex said, lighting a cigarette and taking a casual puff.

Standing at the door, Ellie suddenly felt dizzy and quickly grabbed the door to steady herself.

☐ She had been preoccupied and unable to eat since last night, and with the rain she just got caught in, it was likely a case of low blood sugar.

After a while, seeing Alex still playing cards, Ellie hesitated but entered.

Stopping beside Alex, Ellie disregarded the strange looks from the people around and forced herself to speak. “I agree to help her clear her name." Ellie tried to suppress the sadness in her heart, but her voice was hoarse and noticeably trembled as she spoke. With a "snap," Alex threw down the cards in his hand.

A few minutes later, Alex was in his private suite at the Earl Hotel.

"Go take a shower." Alex pushed Ellie into the bathroom.

The moment Alex closed the door, Ellie grabbed the doorknob. "If you leave Aaron alone, I can go in front of the media right now and clear Haley's name." Alex looked up set of clothes." and down at Ellie, who looked like a drowned rat. “Go take a shower, and I'll have someone bring you a new Ellie said, "No need. I can't wear new clothes without washing them." Alex said, "Then I'll have someone from the Warren Manor bring your old clothes." A hint of sarcasm played on Ellie's lips. "Haley said that the day you let her move into my room, she threw all my things into the storage room. I won't wear clothes that have been gathering dust." Ellie's voice was very light and calm, but every word she spoke weighed heavily on Alex's ears.

The sudden silence between them was so intense that it almost solidified the surrounding air.

Alex's hand, hanging by his side, clenched involuntarily. He stared at Ellie, not wanting to miss a single expression on her face.

Looking at the unconscious Ellie in his arms, Alex remained on one knee on the floor, his arms tightening around her involuntarily.

Alex's forehead rested against Ellie's. He said, “Ellie, you said you would never cback." Alex said, "Ellie, you were the one who didn't wantfirst.” Ellie woke up again to find herself in the back seat of a car.

Seeing that her clothes had been changed, Ellie struggled to sit up and looked at Alex beside her. “Where are you taking me?" "Memorize this and speak according to the script. Don't say a word more than what's on it." Alex handed Ellie a printed script with a blank expression.

Ellie scanned it from top to bottom.

If she followed the script, Haley would be portrayed as the victim And Ellie would be regarded as a jealous, pathetic, and vicious woman who didn't hesitate to strike her best friend with a deadly blow. Ellie looked at Alex.

will never trouble. Aaron again." Alex took out the card again. "If you feel wronged, you can use this card as you wish." "Whatever you say; I have no grievances to speak of," Ellie said, then lowered her head to memorize the script.
