Chapter 192
Elise immediately understood why Matthew had called Sophia and Jeremy out! It was about her identity!
She held the doll, not knowing what to say.
"Ms. Sinclair, you not only look like my best friend Amelia, but you also share the same hobbies," Sophia said, "What a crazy coincidence!"
Jeremy joked, "The first time I saw Ms. Sinclair, I almost picked you up and hugged you!"
Matthew glared at Jeremy, "When is it your turn to hug Ms. Sinclair!"
Jeremy's face fell, and he mumbled, "I was just joking!"
"Ms. Sinclair," Sophia grabbed Elise's hand, "let's add each other on WhatsApp. When we have time, let's go shopping together! I'll tell you about Amelia!"
Elise hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay!"
She herself didn't believe there could be such a coincidence in the world! Making friends with Sophia and talking about Amelia might help her remember the past! Of course, that's assuming she was Amelia!
Sophia scanned the code to add Elise on WhatsApp, and Jeremy added her as a friend too.
Matthew had called them out to help Elise confirm her identity as Amelia!
Sophia and Elise chatted about everything. The group ate until eleven at night, and Matthew drove Elise back to the villa.
When Elise walked into the living room, she found Zander sitting expressionless on the sofa drinking, his eyes bloodshot. He'd clearly had quite a bit to drink.
Elise's heart skipped a beat. She walked over with concern and grabbed the glass from his hand.
"You already drank when you were out. Why are you still drinking at home? You'll become an alcoholic!"
Zander suddenly glared at Elise, startling her. She instinctively let go of the glass.
"Why are you coming home so late? Who did you go see?"
His voice was low and stern. Elise didn't dare look him in the eye.
"I told you, I went to see a friend!"
Zander put his hand on Elise's shoulder, staring at her intently.
"Is this friend Matthew?"
Elise's heart pounded. She pressed her lips together, not knowing how to answer.
"Elise, you never used to lie. How come you've learned to lie now?" Zander shook his head in disappointment, "Did Matthew teach you how to deceive me? Did he?"
Elise instinctively shrank back.
"Zander, you're overthinking! I didn't meet with Matthew!"
"I'm overthinking?" Zander pulled out several photos from his pocket and threw them at Elise, "Look at these. Am I overthinking?"
Elise picked up the photos and saw they were pictures of her meeting Matthew downstairs at the Moore Group, including shots of Matthew giving her roses!
"Zander, you followed me?" Elise's face showed displeasure.
"You lied to me first!" Zander put down his glass and cornered Elise against the wall, cupping her face, "Tell me, have you fallen in love with Matthew?"
Elise blushed, her eyes avoiding his.
She hadn't fallen in love with Matthew, but he gave her a feeling that was hard to describe!
"I haven't!"
"Are you telling me the truth?" Zander pressed.
Elise nodded, "I'm telling you the truth!"
But Zander shook his head, "Words mean nothing. A woman's body doesn't lie. Only your body will tell me the truth!"
Suddenly, Zander kissed her hard, one hand slipping between Elise's legs, teasing her pussy through her pants.
"Don't!" Elise struggled hard, "Zander, don't do this!"
Zander said, "If you don't want to be with me, it means you love Matthew!"
"I don't."
Elise's top was torn open, revealing the black bra underneath.
Then her pants were pulled down too, her long beautiful legs exposed before Zander's eyes, absolutely stunning!
They had been engaged for a long time, but he had never seen Elise's body. Seeing it today made his blood boil as he pressed Elise onto the sofa like a wolf.
Just as he was about to pull down her panties and enter Elise's pussy, her hand found the glass of wine and splashed it in Zander's face, then smashed the glass on his head.
Zander felt the pain and released Elise, glaring at her like an enraged beast.
"You hit me? Elise, and you say you don't love Matthew!"
Elise quickly grabbed her clothes and pants, holding them against her chest like a frightened rabbit.
"Zander, you've had too much to drink!"
Zander just stared at Elise for a while, then suddenly his anger turned to laughter.
"Elise, I won't let you see Matthew again!"
Elise froze, then quickly called out, "Zander, what are you going to do?"
Zander suddenly grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs.
"What are you doing?" Elise shouted.
Zander said nothing, his eyes cold and merciless.
He pulled Elise into a room and locked it from the outside.
"Zander, what are you doing? Let me out!" Elise kept pounding on the door.
Zander's eyes showed cruelty, "You stay in the room and think about what you've done. When you decide you won't see Matthew anymore, I'll let you out!"
With that, Zander left.
Elise pounded on the door for a long time. When it became clear Zander wouldn't come open it, she slumped down and gave up struggling.
Just then, Sophia suddenly sent a message.
Sophia: [Ms. Sinclair, let's go shopping together tomorrow, okay?]
Elise's face showed bitterness as she replied.
Elise: [I have something tomorrow, can't make it. Sorry!]
Sophia replied again.
Sophia: [What about the day after?]
Elise: [I don't have time for the next few days! I'll contact you when I'm free!]
Just after replying to Sophia, Matthew also sent a message.
Matthew: [You seemed to chat well with Sophia today. How about this, let's all go on a picnic this weekend, okay?]
Elise's eyes filled with tears.
Elise: [I probably won't be free this weekend. You guys go have fun!]
Matthew wouldn't give up and sent another message.
Matthew: [There's a charity auction tomorrow night. Want to go together?]
Elise shook her head sadly, the phone's light reflecting her helpless expression.
Elise: [I have plans tomorrow night. Let's talk about it later!]
Although Elise's reply was tactful, Matthew could still read between the lines that she intended to distance herself from him.
The next day at noon after work, Matthew drove aimlessly through the streets and unknowingly ended up downstairs from Elise's company.
Just then, Zander came out and suddenly looked up to see Matthew. Zander's anger flared.
Matthew acted like he didn't see him.
Zander came over aggressively and knocked on the car window. Matthew rolled it down.
"Matthew, what exactly do you want?" Zander demanded angrily, "You're a married man. Why do you keep bothering my Elise? Elise is mine, she's my girlfriend, my fiancée. Stop messing around! Or don't blame me for not being nice!"
Matthew snorted coldly and gave Zander a disdainful glance.
"What, feeling guilty?"
"Me, guilty?" Zander laughed in anger, "That's ridiculous. Why would I feel guilty!"
"You know why!" Matthew's eyes suddenly turned fierce, "Who exactly is Elise?"
A barely noticeable panic flashed in Zander's eyes as he forced himself to stay calm.
"I don't know what nonsense you're talking about!"
