Chapter 428 A Great Show Dawn knew that if she insisted on staying, it would further annoy Evan. As such, she nodded meekly, bid farewell to Rose, and left.
Outside the operating room, the atmosphere was so tense that one could hear a pin drop. When the sun rose, the red light finally dimmed. Rose hurriedly grabbed onto the doctor as soon as the doors opened. "How is she?" Her voice was shaky.
"She's safe, but... having fallen from a height, several bones in her body have been fractured. While we have treated and repaired the injuries, the recovery process will need to be monitored. Please be aware that the healing process will be excruciating." The doctor's words echoed in Rose's ears. "She's safe... Well, that's all that matters. As for the recovery, I'll be there for her!" she thought.
The outcwasn't as terrifying as she had expected. Her tensed body finally relaxed, but she was so frail that even the wind could knock her down.
As a wave of dizziness engulfed her, all she could see was darkness. She heard two frantic voices calling her name, but what happened next... was out of her knowledge.
The morning air in the mountains was especially fresh. Eleanor was habitually a morning person. She was accompanied by Bella as she did her morning stretches in the courtyard.
After her routine exercise, Bella suggested, "Eleanor, shall we try something different for breakfast today? I have a place in mind which I think you'd love." Since Eleanor had not left the mountains in a while, and Bella had taken her tout to accompany her, she thought it was only right to say yes.

They were supposed to have an intense night yesterday, but... When she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.
After she carried Jonathan to the bed last night, he remained unconscious the entire time, and she barely managed to strip him naked. He couldn't do anything to her, but she needed ssort of evidence to prove their relationship.
To make the whole thing convincing, she called a man over. The two shared an intimate encounter, leaving all sorts of marks and traces on her body. Naturally, the room was also filled with an air of debauchery.
The man had left, and she made sure he left no traces of himself before she arrived at the bed.
She didn't know when Jonathan would wake up, but according to the tshe had set with Bella, the Maize family and Eleanor would be here soon.
Instantly, Yara slid under the blanket and glanced victoriously at Jonathan. The sense of determination in her gaze was undeniable.
Meanwhile, the Finch family's vehicle halted outside the hotel. Eleanor looked suspiciously at Bella. "A hotel? What kind of breakfast is in store forhere?" Although she was old, she was still shrewd.
At that instance, Bella becnervous. She frantically pointed at a bistro not far away. "No, we're not going to the hotel, Eleanor. We're going to that place!" "Oh, we are?" The suspicious Eleanor took her word for it. "Let's go then." Bella heaved a deep sigh of relief. Eleanor was wise. Even if Bella could fool her now, she would soon know that Bella had lured her here.
Yet, for Yara's sake, she could only risk it. If Eleanor ever blamed her for it, tcould help her forget it once Yara and Jonathan got married.
Looking at the time, Bella couldn't help but look around as though she was searching for something. When they arrived at the bistro entrance, a group suddenly alighted from two cars and gathered together. That commotion attracted Eleanor's attention.
"The Maizes, huh?" Eleanor thought. She easily recognized them and looked suspiciously at Bella. "That's your brother and his wife. Hm. What a coincidence!" Bella forced a smile and was relieved that they had finally arrived. By then, she couldn't overthink the situation and immediately went up to them.
"Rupe, Cindy, what's wrong? Why are you guys so frantic?" She asked a question which she knew the answer to, putting on a show for Eleanor. "Yara is in trouble!" said Cindy Lohau, Yara's mother. Her face seemed anxious as if her daughter was in grave danger. Bella gasped. "Yara? What happened to her?" Cindy spoke in between sobs. "She didn't say much. An hour ago, I received her call. She was crying and trying to tellwhere she was so.1 could pick her up. Then, she !! mentioned..." She paused. Then, they acted like they just saw Eleanor standing nearby.
Bella returned to Eleanor's side. "Eleanor, my sister-in-law said Yara is in trouble. I want to see her, but I can't leave you here alone. Do you mind if you cwithto see Yara?" "Yara? You mean the renowned international actress, Ms. Maize?" Eleanor wasn't positioned that far from the Maizes and had heard everything Cindy said.
She had lived a long life and encountered many situations, so she easily saw through their little act no matter how good their acting was.
"Yes. Eleanor, look at..." Bella assumed Eleanor would need more convincing to go to the hotel, but before she could continue her words, the latter interjected.

As soon as she said that, Bella and the Maizes heaved a silent breath of relief. The second act, set in the hotel fact, set room, was about to commence. As such, the Maizes began to perk up. The group headed straight into the hotel and took the elevator to a specific room, where the door was shut. At that moment, a hotel staff happened to pass by. The Maizes used a combination of persuasion and coercion to make the staff unlock the door for them.
Inside the suite, a strange scent, mixed with the smell of alcohol, filled the air. Amidst that was the faint sound of crying. As they followed the spurce, Bella was the first to enter the room. Seeing that Yara had curled up at the corner of the bed and sobbed pitifully, Bella quickly gasped. "Yara, w-what happened here?" The rest followed her cue and entered the room. In the room, the cocooned Yara
wrapped herself in the blanket and crouched at the corner of the bed.
Her exposed body parts the arms apd neck revealed several fresh bruises. It was easy to tell what had happened. She wept till her face was wet, looking extremely aggrieved. On the other side of the bed lay a man on his side covered with a blanket. His back faced the door, but his figure was distinctly a man.
"How dare you touch my sister, Jonathan!" One of the men from the Maizes charged up to Jonathan like he was ready to get physical.
