551 Suspicion and Exclusion
How could a woman with a baby in her belly possibly dance?
But Eliza felt that woman’s figure didn’t look pregnant at all.
Could it be she was just overthinking?

Her heart was filled with doubt, and on the other end of the phone, Matteo said, “Wendy contacted Nathaniel a few days ago.”
Hearing this, Eliza felt even more certain her suspicion was right. Something about this really was off
“Keep an eye on things over in Westbrook. If Naomi shows up, let me know right away.”
“Got it.”
Eliza hung up the phone.
Beside her, Nolan glanced at the screen with an aggrieved look in his eyes. “Eliza, you’re not even trying to hide it now? Talking to another man right in front of me?”
realized she had gone too far.
Seeing the hurt in Nolan’s puppy–like eyes, Eliza suddenly realized she had
She had been so focused on proving her suspicion that she had completely forgotten to consider Nolan’s feelings.
“I really didn’t mean it like that. I was just anxious, I wanted to know where Naomi is.”
She handed her phone over with the picture on it. “Look, does this person look like Naomi to you?”
“I don’t really remember Naomi’s face.”
Nolan had never paid much attention to Naomi before. Looking at the picture, he couldn’t recognize her. But Eliza had grown up with Naomi. Even after Naomi’s plastic surgery, Eliza could still recognize her from her eyes.
“We won’t find anything else tonight. Let’s go.”
Earlier, Nolan had noticed someone watching them in the ballroom. It had to be Wendy’s people.
Most likely, Wendy didn’t trust them and had ordered someone to keep tabs.

Who knew if Wendy might suddenly change her mind and make a move on them right there in the ballroom? It wasn’t safe.
“Eliza, let’s go.”
Nolan led her out.
They got in the car and headed straight back to Cramer’s residence.
Meanwhile-
Inside Cramer’s study.
Vivian was tidying up his desk. When Cramer walked in, she jumped, standing on the other side. “Cramer, I was just trying to straighten things up for you.”
“From now on, you’re not allowed in my room.”
Vivian’s eyes grew wet at his cold words. “Why?”
“No reason.”
Leaving that behind, Cramer ordered his men to escort Vivian out.
They were polite enough, but Vivian glanced back and saw Cramer hadn’t even looked at her
once.
Unwilling as she was, she could only retreat.
Once she was gone, Cramer started checking the desk himself, worried she might have tampered with something. “Check if anything is missing.”
“Yes, sir.”
His men quickly went through the desk. Nothing important was missing.
“Install a hidden camera in my study. Tell the others–don’t let that woman in here again. Watch her carefully.”
“Yes, sir.”
The order spread quickly among the Cullinan family’s servants.
After hearing it, their attitude toward Vivian shifted noticeably.
Everyone knew Cramer disliked her. And if that was the case, there was no need for them to show her respect either.

When Eliza and Nolan came back, they found Vivian alone in the living room searching for something. Not a single servant was paying her any attention.
“Quit pretending. You’re just here to spy, aren’t you?”
“Mr. Cullinan really is unlucky. First, that woman oppressed him; now, he has to guard against her goddaughter. What a mess.”
“Everyone better be careful. Don’t lose anything important in this house, or Mr. Cullinan will be furious.”
The servants‘ words were sharp, laced with mockery.
No one acknowledged Vivian.
Eliza hadn’t expected Cramer to go this far
make the entire household treat Vivian this
way.
Her brows furrowed. She was about to step forward to help Vivian when Nolan suddenly caught
her arm.
He shook his head at her.
Eliza understood. Nolan didn’t want her to get dragged into muddy waters.
But seeing Vivian like that, she couldn’t help but feel pity for her.
