Callan was inexplicably angry, and he also hated himself. Why did he send Eloise home? What was wrong with him?
“Eloise, do you get used to hooking up with men?” Callan’s voice was low and angry.
Eloise laughed and said, “No, I only hooked up with you.”
Callan was very angry, but it would be useless to talk with a drunkard.
Eloise started to sleep.
After a while, they arrived at Eloise’s house. She woke up, and her mind became clearer.
“Thank you, Mr. Barone. I’m home.” She was much more polite than before.
“How much did Julian spend on buying this house for you?” Callan stopped the car and lit a cigarette. He opened the car window, and he had no intention of leaving.
“What?” Eloise was dizzy. “What does it have to do with Julian? This is my rented house.”
“You rented it?” Callan turned his head and looked at Eloise
beside him.
Chapter 10 Her Backer
“Yeah, the monthly rent is three thousand and five hundred dollars. It’s quite suitable for me.”

“Three thousand and five hundred dollars? The houses in this area are at least five thousand and five hundred dollars. Didn’t you think about why?” Callan looked at Eloise suspiciously.
Eloise was slightly taken aback. This question was too complicated for her because she got a headache. She got out of the car without thinking much and staggered back to her home.
It was not until Eloise woke up the next day that she seriously thought about Callan’s words.
Turning on the computer, she saw that the rent of the house in this area was indeed at least five thousand and five hundred dollars. Besides, the decoration of the house she rented was good.
She went to the police station to check, and as expected, this house belonged to Julian.
Eloise didn’t tell Julian. She paid the rent for this house for three months, and she would move out after that.
She wanted to find an opportunity to make up the difference to Julian, but she hadn’t figured out a method.
After a few days, Eloise and the people from the advertising department began to stay in Girado Group. It was originally Girado Group’s project, and it was more convenient if they
Chapter 10 Her Backer stayed there.
Their office was next to Adam’s.
At the meeting of the advertising department, when Ada was presenting the PowerPoint and letting the people in Girado Group decide on a plan, Eloise’s cell phone rang.

When she saw that it was Medea, her mind went blank. She hung it up, but it rang again, making her feel uneasy. In the end, she had no choice but to go to the corridor to answer the phone.
“Hello! Aunt.” Eloise frowned slightly.
“Eloise, Derek’s spine is broken. The hospital said that he needs an operation immediately, and it will cost 400 thousand dollars. The money you gave is not enough, so send the rest of the money over quickly.” Medea said arrogantly.
“Is Uncle’s spine broken? He is always lying on the bed. How could his spine be broken?” Eloise almost cried. She just moved out for a few days, but such a thing happened to Derek.
“He went crazy yesterday and fell off the bed,” Medea said.
Eloise was very angry. Medea always wanted to quarrel with Derek as if she wanted Derek to die early.
Eloise looked sideways inadvertently and saw a few people coming from the corridor. The person walking in the front was surrounded by others, with an extremely powerful aura. It was Callan.
Chapter 10 Her Backer
Callan was followed by a few people who looked like senior executives, and they were talking to him cautiously.
When Eloise saw Callan, her heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Eloise’s anxious look, Callan asked her, “What’s wrong?”
Eloise didn’t want Callan to know about her family affairs, and she said, “It’s nothing.”
As Callan looked Eloise up and down, he walked over without saying anything.
Eloise’s attention returned to the phone. She took a deep breath and said, “Let my uncle answer the phone.”
“He is in the operating room. I paid the deposit with the money you gave me last time, and I’m waiting for the operation fee. Stop talking nonsense. Give me the money quickly.” Medea urged Eloise impatiently.
Someone in the conference room opened the door and stood beside Eloise.
“Why don’t you go in for the meeting?”
It was Adam.
“My aunt said that my uncle was undergoing an operation, and she asked me for hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Eloise said. She was very anxious. “But I don’t have so much money, and it will be useless for me to go there.”

Adam knew about Eloise’s family matters.
“I’ll pay the money for you,” Adam said.
Eloise glanced at Adam and said, “No need!”
“Eloise, I know I’m sorry for you. You don’t even want to give me a chance to make up for it?” Adam was anxious, and he grabbed Eloise’s arm. “I want to get back together with you.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t want, and I don’t have time to talk with you,” Eloise said.
Eloise went back to the meeting room, ready to pack up and to the hospital.
She saw that Eliza was sitting calmly in the meeting.

Eloise was angry. Derek was going to have an operation. How could Eliza stay there calmly?
She pulled Eliza outside the door.
“Eliza, your father is sick and needs an operation,” Eloise said deliberately.
“Eloise, don’t curse my dad. He is your uncle,” When Eliza heard Eloise’s words, she said disrespectfully as she pointed at Eloise’s nose.
Although Eliza was on the same side as Medea, she loved her father
very much.

“I’ll call him now. If you’re lying, I will beat you,” Eliza said.

When Eliza was pointing at Eloise’s face disrespectfully, Callan appeared in the corridor again.
He went to the business department just now, and he came back
now.
He saw Eliza’s impolite behavior at a glance, but he walked over without saying anything.
Eloise didn’t notice Callan, and Eliza turned around to make a call, so she didn’t notice Callan, either.
“Dad, are you home?” Eliza called Derek.
“I’m at home. What’s the matter?” Derek said on the phone.
Eliza stared at Éloise angrily and said, “Eloise said that you were hospitalized and needed an operation.”
“Did Eloise misunderstand anything? Tell her, don’t worry about me,” Derek said.
“I don’t know if she misunderstood something, but it’s true that she doesn’t wish you well,” Eliza said.
“How can you say that?” Derek reprimanded Eliza.
Hearing that Derek was fine, Eloise was relieved. Sure enough, it was Medea’s trick.

When the two returned to the office, everyone looked at Eliza.
Eliza was a newcomer in the advertising department, and she
was terrified when everyone stares at her like this.
“What’s wrong?” Eliza asked.
Eloise was also confused.
“Eliza, Mr. Barone called just now and said that you are transferred to the reception to learn etiquette. You don’t need to attend the meeting of the advertising department.” The advertising director Adam said.
Eliza was very surprised, and she asked, “Why?”
She just went out to make a phone call. Why did she lose her job?
She was a graduate student majoring in advertising. Why should she work at the reception?
Adam didn’t tell her the reason.
Eliza angrily packed up her things and was about to go to the reception.
She suddenly remembered that when she was on the phone, someone walked by in the corridor, and it seemed to be Callan. Could it be because she was pointing at Eloise’s nose while speaking at that time?

It seemed that Callan was indeed Eloise’s backer. Seeing Eloise suffer, he punished her.
Eliza thought in her heart, “Eloise, I won’t let you go!”
Eloise was also puzzled by this matter. Why did Callan suddenly transfer Eliza to the reception?
When Eloise was thinking about this, she received a WhatsApp message from Eliza: [Eloise, do you think that with Mr. Barone as your backer, you can do whatever you want? Let’s wait and see.]
Eloise thought, “Does Eliza mean that Callan transferred her to the reception for me?”
Eloise was stunned, and she didn’t believe that.
