After Prison I Rushed into Marriage with a Comatose Tycoon-Chapter 161: You Are All Such Good People!

A video was going viral on Weibo.

In the video.

Eliza Sutton’s long hair was tied up. She wore a black blazer dress, and her every move exuded a cool, confident poise. Her features were exquisite and striking, radiant as the midday sun, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

Reporter: Master Innis, we heard from General Manager Reynolds that Innis is considering hiring a brand ambassador this year. Is that true?

Eliza Sutton: Yes.

Reporter: Can you reveal who the brand ambassador is?

Eliza Sutton: Normally, I couldn’t. However, it just so happens that her contract for the apparel brand she was endorsing has just expired, so there’s no reason to keep it a secret anymore. The brand ambassador for Innis is Eva Monroe. She will be the first-ever brand ambassador for Innis, and she will be our lifetime brand ambassador. Eva Monroe and Innis will stand together.

As Eliza Sutton spoke, her gaze landed directly on the camera.

Eva Monroe was watching this very Weibo post. Eliza’s gaze seemed to meet hers, as if their eyes were locking across the void of time and space.

Seeing that brilliant smile on Eliza’s lips, Eva Monroe felt her eyes well up as a fiery emotion filled her heart.

Her mind suddenly flashed back to when she first met Eliza Sutton.

She and Eliza Sutton had been classmates in elementary school.

Eliza Sutton, who had lost her mother, and herself, who was ignored by her own family—they were both the outcasts in their class.

So young, lonely, and helpless, they had naturally become friends.

She still remembered telling Eliza Sutton, "Isla, now that we’re friends, it’s for life. Whoever backs out is a puppy."

Eliza Sutton placed her hand in hers. "Okay."

And then so many years had passed.

Eva Monroe took a deep breath. She looked up, glanced at Kiara Wynn, Genevieve Lane, and their entourage still blocking her way, and a deeply grateful smile spread across her face. "I really have to thank you all this time. If you hadn’t used such underhanded tactics to steal my endorsement, Ms. Redwood would have probably already renewed the contract, and I wouldn’t have been able to accept the Innis deal. You’re all such good people."

After saying her piece, Eva Monroe didn’t even bother to look at their furious, twisted expressions. Full of renewed vigor, she walked off to start filming.

Genevieve Lane was fuming. "Cousin, what do we do now? Eva Monroe must be so smug!"

Kiara Wynn was already annoyed, and hearing this, she slapped Genevieve Lane across the face. "You idiot! If you weren’t so useless and had actually managed to steal Eva Monroe’s endorsement, I wouldn’t have to endure her ridicule!"

Genevieve Lane clutched her face, feeling utterly wronged.

’As if the Innis endorsement was something she could just snatch whenever she wanted.’

’Besides, Kiara Wynn was a bigger star with more connections, and even she couldn’t steal the Innis contract from Eva Monroe, right? What right did she have to hit her?’

Of course, Genevieve Lane didn’t dare say a single word of this out loud.

Genevieve Lane knew full well that her current position depended on Kiara Wynn.

She forced herself to swallow her grievance and squeezed out a smile. "Cousin, don’t be angry. The most important thing now is to figure out how to snatch the Innis endorsement back from Eva Monroe. Otherwise, once Eva rises, I’m afraid she’ll really start lording it over you!"

Kiara Wynn’s expression turned vicious, as if she wanted to tear Eva Monroe to shreds. "In her dreams!"

...

Eliza Sutton spent the entire afternoon at Innis. She handled all the work that had piled up and called in the pattern maker to discuss the details of the design sketches she had finished earlier.

By the time she finished with everything, the sun was already setting.

Eliza Sutton sent a message to Erik Irvine, asking about Theo’s situation.

The boy had a face identical to Emmett Lockwood’s and shared the name of her own child, Theo. She couldn’t help but worry about him constantly.

"Mistress, there’s no news yet. Please don’t worry too much. No news is the best news."

Seeing Erik Irvine’s reply, Eliza Sutton’s brow furrowed into a knot.

She had to admit that what Erik said was true.

No news was the best news.

At the very least, it proved the child was still free and hadn’t fallen into the hands of their enemies to be used as a weapon against the Lockwood Family.

In truth, letting that child be called Theo wasn’t because she was being magnanimous.

It was because the name Theo wasn’t exclusive to begin with.

Besides, by calling the boy Theo over and over, hearing him talk to her, watching him smile at her, she could, for a fleeting moment, deceive herself into believing her own child hadn’t died.

Eliza Sutton called Woody and told him to assign more people to the search.

She instructed, "Tell our people they must ensure the child’s safety at all costs."

"Isla, I understand."

Just as she ended the call, before she could even put her phone away, a voice called out.

"Eliza!"

Eliza Sutton stopped and turned toward the lobby, only to see Harrison Sutton walking toward her.

Harrison Sutton looked at Eliza Sutton with a benevolent expression. "Eliza, you’re finally out. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

Eliza Sutton’s brow furrowed. "You were looking for me?"

"Yes, of course I was looking for you." Harrison Sutton said with a chuckle, ignoring Eliza Sutton’s cold demeanor. "Excellent. You’ve managed Innis very well. It’s already reached this scale in just a few short years. I believe that with time, Innis will become a behemoth capable of rivaling the Lockwood Design Department and dominating the market. Eliza, you’re incredible. Your father is proud of you."

Harrison Sutton patted Eliza Sutton’s shoulder, his excitement plain to see.

Harrison Sutton was certain that any father who suddenly found himself with such an outstanding daughter would feel the same.

Master Innis.

In a family like theirs, this was truly an achievement that would bring immense honor to their ancestors.

Meeting Harrison Sutton’s benevolent gaze, Eliza Sutton felt not a shred of emotion, only icy indifference in her eyes. "Did Mr. Sutton come all the way to Innis today just to say these few words? If so, are you finished? You can see yourself out."

Eliza Sutton raised a hand, gesturing for him to leave.

Harrison Sutton’s expression soured, and his anger flared. "Eliza Sutton, what is this attitude? Is that any way to speak to your own father?"

"Father?" Eliza Sutton let out a sarcastic laugh. "It seems Mr. Sutton has forgotten the declaration we made to sever ties. Should I go find it for you to review?"

Harrison Sutton sighed. "Eliza, I know you blame me, but please believe me, I had no choice. The Sutton Family was weak; we were no match for the Willow Family. What I did was to protect the Sutton Group’s foundation, so that I could face your mother in the afterlife."

Eliza Sutton retorted mockingly, "Losing my child and threatening me with my mother’s grave—was that also so you could ’face’ her? If so, then Mr. Sutton’s methods are certainly... unique. I just wonder, does my mother visit you in your dreams? Or do you even dare to dream of her?"

Eliza Sutton added, "I’d imagine not. If my mother’s spirit knew the man she married was so despicable, shameless, and cruel, she’d probably be angry enough to come back to life."

Eliza Sutton’s words were merciless, completely stripping Harrison Sutton of his dignity and grinding it into the dirt.

Harrison Sutton couldn’t take it anymore. His face twitched as he roared in fury, "Eliza Sutton, I am your father! Is that any way to speak to me?!"
