CHAPTER 212: LIARS
"I'm going to clarify everything in front of the media!" Brian said.
"How will you do that?" Eris asked.
Brian did not hesitate even for a second, and said firmly, "I will tell the media the truth and prove that Wendy is innocent.Eris, let go of me!"
'Let go? Tell the truth? This is not happening" This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
'My parents and I have convicted Wendy in front of the media.If Brian does what he said, we will be branded as liars for life!' Eris had been happy that Wendy couldn't find a way out of this mess, but now a cold dread settled in her heart.
Her eyes were red, and her voice trembled.
"Brian, don't you love me anymore?" Brian was stunned.
"What are you talking about?"
'When did I say that I don't love her anymore?' he thought.
Eris didn't answer but asked, "What are you going to tell the media? Are you going to tell them that I was the one who drugged Wendy, causing her to get pregnant before marriage? Are you going to tell them that you broke up with Wendy because I was the other woman? Are you going to tell them that my parents lied about Wendy because they love me?"
Brian's face stiffened.
"Brian, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
'No.I haven't"
When he saw the interview and the after-effects, he just had an overwhelming urge to clarify all the false rumors.
Eris grabbed hold of his hand tightly again.Her knuckles grew white with the strain.
"If you tell the truth in front of the media, then my career will be in tatters.I will be ruined.Brian, is that what you want? Are you willing to destroy me because of Wendy?"
'Of course not!' Brian's face changed.
Dejected, he sat back on the sofa heavily.
Seeing this, Eris was relieved.She went to make a cup of tea for him.She handed him the tea and said, "Brian, I know what my parents did was very wrong.Trust me.If I could go back in time, I would have definitely stopped them.But things already happened, and we cannot do anything."
Brian's face turned cold.
"Although what they did was wrong, their intentions weren't bad.They wanted Wendy to quit the entertainment industry.Brian, even though you're not a member of this industry, you do know what it is like.Since I have you by my side, no one dares to mess with me.But in Wendy's case, it is different.Have you forgotten the gossips about her and Luke?"
Brian's heart grew heavy when he heard this.
"Even if she is to quit the showbiz, it shouldn't be in this way!"
It was different between Wendy quitting the industry on her own accord and being forced to do so because of the malicious rumors.
The comments about Wendy on the internet could be considered cyberbullying.
"I know it's not fair to her.But now that it has happened, we cannot do anything other than making it up to her," Eris said helplessly.
Brian looked deeply into her eyes.
Eris' heart skipped a beat.
"Brian, what's wrong?"
"Eris, look into my eyes and tell me.Does this have nothing to do with you?"
Seeing that Eris was about to speak, Brian said in a stern voice, "Think twice before you answer me! Eris, you should know that I hate lies.If this has anything to do with you, then I suggest you should tell me now.For the sake of our long-term relationship, I will find it in my heart to forgive you this time.But if not, and I find out something in the future, don't blame me for breaking up with you."
Blood drained from Eris' face.She knew that he was warning her.
"Brian..."
"Again, I'm telling you.Think before you say something."
Eris knew Brian very well.She knew that he was suspicious of her.
If she admitted it, she knew that he would never believe her again.So she stubbornly said, "I don't know! I really don't know!"
Anyway, it was her mother who did it.
As long as her mother didn't tell the truth, no one would know.
With this in mind, Eris' eyes turned red and tearful.She leaned on Brian's knees, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.
"Brian, we have been together for so many years.Have I ever lied to you? How can you suspect me like this?"
Brian sneered inwardly.
He didn't want to doubt her.
But yesterday, she had lied to him.
Eris slowly slid her hand up along Brian's thigh and said in a soft and aggrieved voice, "Don't you know what kind of person I am? For so many years, I have been eager to give all my love to you.Why would I lie to you?"
Then she put her arm around his neck and looked at him pitifully.
All of a sudden, Brian tensed up.He couldn't stand the way Eris looked at him.
"Eris!"
"Brian..." Eris raised her head and blushed.
"We are engaged.Brian, let's have a baby!"
Brian's Adam's apple bobbed.
Seeing Eris' expression and listening to what she just said turned him on.
The passion in Eris' eyes became unbridled.
"Brian..."
The two were familiar with each other.
Eris knew what Brian's weakness was.She snuggled up in his arms and looked at him with her adoring eyes.
His breathing quickened.
Since Eris had known that Brian was coming, she had dressed up especially for him.She wore only a red silk slip dress, even though the weather was cold.
The combination of her fair skin and red dress made her look attractive.
Brian swallowed hard, grabbed her wrist, and yanked her hard.
Eris screamed.
By the time she realized what was happening, he had already had her pressed against the sofa.
The cup filled with tea fell to the floor and shattered into pieces.
However, no one paid any attention to it.
Brian's eyes were closed the entire time.He was feeling weird.
Even though it was Eris in his arms, he imagined Wendy.
As long as he was thinking of Wendy, he was excited.
The atmosphere in the living room was charged with passion.
Once they were done, Eris shyly covered herself with the quilt.
She touched her lower abdomen with her hand and looked at Brian with her watery eyes.
"You didn't use a condom.I'm not sure whether I will get pregnant or not."
"Didn't you say that your career was on the rise and that you didn't want to consider having a child?" Brian touched her hair softly.
"How about you take some pills?"
"No!" Eris gave him a reproachful look.
"You hadn't proposed then.That was why I didn't want to get pregnant.If I gave birth, the baby would have been an illegitimate child.But now it's a different scenario.I have made up my mind that I want to have a baby.You are more important to me than my career!"
Brian's heart warmed when he heard what Eris said, and he looked at her lovely eyes.
