บท 23: Set Him Up

Whispers came from the crowd.

"I think it is true."

"What? Why?"

"You know, people were boycotting Japanese goods. The industrial chain of the Britten Group is affected, and they've lost a lot of money. I heard from my father that they probably want to find a wealthy guy to marry Elsie so that the loss can be made up...."

"They are selling their daughter!"

"Well, you know it's common."

"That's right. It makes sense. Marquise's family is rich, no wonder they would pick Marquise...."

Marquise, who was being beaten, heard it and immediately seized the chance. He pointed at Eliot in a huff, "Your sister set me up!"

Eliot threw him another punch, "How dare you! Don't you nonsense again!"

Marquise began to fight back while spitting, "Eliot! Your sister set me up! Your whole family set me up! You are all in this!"

"Stop looking! Get out! Get out!" Beverly shut the door.
