CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 137: LOVING HIM FOR TEN YEARS

"Sylvie, tell me, when did you and Elias get together?"

Annelise’s voice was trembling, she was trying hard to hold back.

Sylvia hadn’t expected Annelise to ask her this question in front of so many people.

This somewhat overturned Sylvia’s understanding of Annelise; she always thought Annelise wasn’t the type to ask such private questions in front of a crowd.

"Annelise, I’m sorry, I hid this from you. I’ve been in love with Elias for ten years..."

"So, he’s the boyfriend you’ve had a crush on for ten years?"

"Yes, he is the boyfriend I’ve had a crush on for ten years, but... Annelise, when you were with Elias, I never had any other thoughts, I just quietly wished you well. But, later... after you broke up, I thought Elias needed someone who understood him better and cherished him more, so it was I who pursued Elias. Don’t blame him!"

Sylvia’s words were hinting that it was because Annelise was promiscuous, liking to have more than one relationship at once, that she didn’t know to cherish Elias, leading to their breakup. And Sylvia wasn’t taking advantage of the situation; she was bravely pursuing love.

Ha ha!

Truly, her good friend.

"Annelise, what right do you have to question Sylvie? She and Elias were engaged long ago, didn’t you know?"

"Yes, Sylvie is Captain Warner’s legitimate girlfriend, what about you? You should have recognized your identity long ago!"

"You were the one who was promiscuous and wanted to have more than one relationship at once, that’s why you were dumped by both Captain Warner and Captain Chase Perry!"

"Yes, what’s Annelise pretending here? She even attended Captain Warner and Miss Lowell’s engagement banquet, didn’t she? Rumor has it that she seduced a nouveau riche with the surname Yang at the wedding banquet, too bad that man had a short life!"

"Then tell me, when you took Elias’s suit and said you were going to give it to your boyfriend, what did you mean?"

Annelise remembered that she was about to exchange Elias’s suit for money when Sylvia said she wanted to buy it to give to her boyfriend.

So, at that time, was she just like a clown?

Selling her boyfriend’s suit to Sylvia and then having it bought back by her?

Ha ha!

Really interesting!

Sylvia was always like she was watching a play, inserted into her life, spying on everything between her and Elias.

Also pretending to be kind and echoed her when she was complaining about Renee?

"What? Annelise, I don’t know what you’re talking about, what suit? Oh, the suit you’re talking about? I thought it was your boyfriend’s suit at the time, and I thought it looked a bit like Elias’s, so I bought it. Of course, it was all to help you, Annelise, you needed money so badly, so I had to buy the suit first, I was afraid you’d regret it, after all, isn’t it your boyfriend’s suit?"

"Oh, is it really Elias’s suit? You even kept Elias’s suit and... and sold it? Annelise, how could you do such a thing? If you need money you can just tell me!"

The crowd was in uproar.

"My God, I’ve never seen someone so shameless, breaking up with an ex and selling the ex’s clothes, now daring to say it publicly."

"Yes, yes, Annelise’s skin is really thick, thicker than you can imagine!"

"How’s she even questioning others here?"

Annelise laughed coldly.

She really hadn’t thought Sylvia would be such a two-faced person.

She had seen wrong.

She had been friends with someone like this for ten years, even treating her as her best friend.

"Annelise, I really didn’t mean to hide it from you, I was afraid you’d be mad!"

"Well, Sylvia, I wish you and Elias a hundred years of happiness, may you have children soon. Remember, the top-tier dancer you ordered, one million one hundred thousand!"

She put on her mask again and turned to leave.

June wanted to say something to retain Annelise, to continue humiliating her, but was grabbed by Chase Perry.

"June, that’s enough!"

"Chase Perry, what are you doing? Are you feeling sorry for her?"

"What are you talking about? She’s your sister after all!"

While the two argued, Annelise already left the hall and returned to the dressing room.

Lily came in and comforted: "Baby, are you alright? Is Sylvia your good friend? She’s the big spender who called you up on stage to dance, doesn’t she know you danced here?"

Annelise was shocked.

Then she laughed coldly again.

So, the one who called her to dance on stage was Sylvia.

She knew long ago that she danced here, just didn’t know she needed money to treat Luna.

Thankfully, she hadn’t told Sylvia about Luna’s matter.

Today she deliberately offered a high price to call her out to dance, it really took painstaking effort.

"It doesn’t matter, Lily, as long as the money is right, whoever it is, I’ll be there!"

Annelise said as she removed her makeup.

Lily saw Annelise’s emotions were relatively stable and didn’t say anything more, leaving the dressing room directly.

In the hall

At this moment, the hall was still immersed in discussions.

Sylvia saw that just now, when Annelise was around, she hooked her arm over Elias’s shoulder, even lying on his shoulder, and Elias had not rejected her.

Worried that Elias might misunderstand, she explained: "Elias, I really didn’t mean to hide our engagement from Annelise, I thought she’d know since she went to the banquet, plus her current boyfriend is my brother!"

"Enough!"

A loud rebuke rang out.

The crowd instantly fell silent.

Sylvia’s face turned pale, her hands stopped awkwardly in midair.

Elias got up and left the hall.

Sylvia forgot to chase after him.

Elias’s aura was too intimidating, no one dared to speak.

Even Chase Perry was stunned there.

Elias directly left and went to the dressing room backstage.

Annelise, although internally she had decided to give up these distressing past events, had still invested feelings.

A good friend and the person she loved most, she had lost both.

After another half year she would be gone, all of this finally gave her the courage to resolutely leave at the last moment.

She took off her earrings and put them back in place.

Went to the fitting room to take off the white dress, only to find when she was distracted, she forgot to bring her change of clothes.

"Summer, bring me the clothes!"

Summer was the girl who had just been with her in the dressing room, also the girl who had danced alongside her on stage.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no sign of Summer bringing the clothes.

She called out again: "Summer, bring the clothes in!"

Still no response.

She was about to go out when she heard footsteps at the entrance of the fitting room.

The footsteps came closer.

The coat and shirt she wore when she came in were handed in by a pair of large hands.

"Thanks!"

Annelise took the clothes.

The fitting room suddenly closed.

A strong force pulled her forward, she fell heavily against a solid chest.

In surprise, she looked up and saw Elias’s cold face.
