It was almost noon when Eliza returned home. She talked with her mother for a while and then went upstairs. She was really tired and her body was still painful.

Looking at the bruises all over her body, she was still very embarrassed.

But she was glad that the Albert didn't leave any obvious marks. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to hide those marks in this hot summer.

She needed to think about how to tell her mother about her father. She thought for a long time but didn't have a good idea. Finally, she decided not to mention anything. If she told her mother that she had found someone to save her father, her mother would definitely ask all kinds of questions. Then she couldn't hide the fact that she became Albert’s mistress. She simply didn't say anything, as if she didn't know what was going on with her father.

A few days passed. When it came to the trial of Eliza’s father, Eliza was very nervous. Although Albert had promised her to save her father, she was still very nervous before the result came out. She was afraid that something bad would happen.

After all, the person who could make Smith Group go bankrupt and put her father into jail was definitely not simple. Although Albert had promised her, no one knew what would happen.

If the one who set her father up was too powerful, she didn't think that Albert would save her father at all cost. After all, the only thing she could give to him was her body. Even if Albert didn't keep his promise, she could do nothing.

It turned out that Albert didn't disappoint Eliza. In the court, the judge was no longer extremely fair and serious like he was in the first trial, and he raised a lot of doubts about her father's case. For these doubts, the plaintiff had no evidence at all, and the plaintiff's lawyers stopped being aggressive, and did not play any role at all. Therefore, in the end, the chief judge announced that the existing evidence could not determine that Mr. Smith was guilty, so he overturned the trial judgment and let her father be released without guilt.

Eliza was grateful to Albert when she heard that her father was released without charge. Although she had given him her most precious thing, her gratitude to him would not decrease.

The Smith went back home happily. Eliza cooked many her dad's favorite dishes. Her mother felt as if she had recovered all of a sudden, and she became energetic. She stewed soup for Mr. Smith and asked him to drink more.

Michael's tears welled up when he saw his wife and daughter surrounded him. He had thought that he couldn't escape from prison, but he didn't expect that there was a turning point when he was about to give up. He was grateful that he could continue to live with his families happily.

After dinner, Michael asked, "Who have you been looking for help these days? I thought I couldn't escape from prison. I didn't expect that I could be released without charge in the end. We have to repay our benefactor’s favor with interest."

Speaking of this, Eliza’s mother was also confused. "We did ask a lot of people for help these days, but they all said that they couldn't help. I thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect that the situation suddenly changed in the court."

"So you don't know who helped us? That's strange. It's not a small matter. Ordinary people can't help us, and who will help without leaving his name?" Michael knew very well that the person who helped him was definitely a big shot, otherwise he wouldn't have been released so easily. But for a moment, he couldn't figure out who would help him.

Before he was framed this time, someone found him and wanted to cooperate with him to do a profitable but illegal business, but he refused. He didn't see the person behind the scene at that time. Now it seemed that he was very likely to be involved in other people's disputes.

Fortunately, he was out of danger. As for the Smith Group, although he felt heartache for it, he wouldn't be softhearted to give up it. He was a man. He could build Smith Group in the past, and now he could build another big company again.

Eliza's parents didn't notice that Eliza looked unnatural when they were discussing.

They took it for granted that their daughter was too young to be involved in this matter.

Although she was nervous at the beginning, Eliza quickly calmed herself down, as if she didn't know anything about it. She just listened to her parents' conversation quietly.

Now that they had decided to let go of everything and start a new life, Eliza's parents ended their discussion about this matter and began to think about what to do next.

After all, they had to live and they should do something to support their family. In the end, Michael decided to start a business as he did when he was young. In the past, he could endure hardships, and after this matter, he could also overcome difficulties.

After the Smith made up their minds about what to do next, they chatted happily. After Michael was framed this time, the whole family knew to cherish each other. Wealth and other materials were not important. What mattered was that their family could be healthy and live together happily.

After Eliza’s father came back home, her whole family was very happy. However, as time went by, Eliza's new term was about to begin. She had been thinking about a lot of things these days. Since her father came back, the atmosphere in their family had completely changed. Even if it was difficult to start a new business, they were very happy every day. Therefore, she was more grateful to Albert.

No matter what his original intention was, he had saved her father. So Eliza thought she should try her best to repay him in the future.

But she was Eliza. She wouldn't fawn on him for his wealth and status. She wouldn't even dream of being his real girlfriend.

She would have her own life. Even if she was his mistress, she was still Eliza, a proud and confident Eliza. She would plan her future life well. As for love, she would not consider it for the time being. As long as she was Albert’s mistress, she would not have her own love. She would be loyal to Albert, which was what she should pay and her principle.

Eliza called her friend Susan. She had to move to Albert's villa with the help of her friend. Otherwise, her parents might not allow her to move out. Besides, she didn't plan to keep it a secret to her friend.

Eliza told her friend what had happened recently. Eliza said calmly, as if it hadn't happened to her. But her friend Susan felt a bit sad from her words.

"Liz, why didn't you tell me that such a big thing happened? Even if I can't help you, I can give you some advice and share your sorrow." Susan felt sorry for Eliza, her only good friend.

She didn't expect that so many things would happen to Liz in such a short vacation.

"Suzie, I didn’t tell you because I didn't want you to worry about me. Don't worry. Everything has passed. I'm fine now. I'll tell my parents that you don't dare to live in school by yourself and you want me to live with you. Then, they will agree my request for moving out." Although Eliza still minded being Albert’s mistress, she felt good as long as her father was safe.
