Chapter 279: A Rival’s Provocation
Eric glanced at the stunned Ella, a sarcastic smirk playing at the corners of his lips. Clearly, someone was envious of his relationship with her—otherwise, why would they send such a video to his inbox?
He opened the video, and as the explicit footage played, both Ella and Eric’s expressions grew darker and more grim.
Ella quickly snatched his phone, stopping the video. Her body trembled with anger. "How shameless! What a despicable person! They... they actually photoshopped my face and Mason’s onto those people!"
The video wasn’t the one from when Mason cornered Ella in the restroom, but instead, it was a video of a couple having sex. The faces of the man and woman had been altered to look like Mason and Ella, and it made her feel like she was about to explode from fury.
Eric let out a cold laugh, his face clouded with even deeper darkness. "I heard that when you were with Chloe, you fell into the pool, and Mason and Henry jumped in to rescue you?"
Ella lowered her head quietly. "Yes, they thought I couldn’t swim. But, darling, I never gave them any reason to think they had a chance. Please don’t be upset."
A trace of cold malice flashed through Eric’s eyes. "I don’t blame you, but this video..."
"It’s not real! Someone edited me into it!" Ella fumed, her anger reaching a boiling point. She wanted nothing more than to rip Mason into pieces.
Eric leaned back lazily against the headboard, his fingers gently combing through her long hair. "Of course, I believe you. But we’ll definitely find out who sent it. Whoever did this... their Photoshop skills are quite advanced."
Wait... did he just say it looked *real*?
"If this video gets out, it could seriously damage your reputation." Because the video was so convincing, many people would undoubtedly believe it if it were made public.
