Chapter 6 If he didnât protect her, she would be taken advantage of again.
âGrandpa, why donât you go sit with Dad and Uncle Jack?â Elizabeth suggested, turning back into the humble and sensible girl.
When Celia, who was standing beside Samuel, saw Tomas protecting Elizabeth so much, a touch of malice flashed in her beautiful eyes, She had been brought to Tomas by Samuel for so long, and Tomas hadnât even looked at her once. Instead, his focus was all on Elizabeth, this ugly woman!
Elizabeth didnât miss the malicious look in Celiaâs eyes. Celia was really good at acting. No wonder she became the best actress in just four years! It seemed she was playing herself.
Elizabeth was all too aware of her current situation.
Before she could figure out what to do, Celia took the initiative to be nice to Elizabeth âHello, Liz.â
Through her dark sunglasses, Elizabeth clearly saw the calculation in Celiaâs eyes.
âCelia, please donât call me Liz. Weâre not that close!â Elizabeth stepped back and her expression was cold and distant Elizabeth used to be naive, thinking Celia was a good person, always speaking for her and Samuel It wasnât until the day of their divorce that she realized all of this was just Celiaâs scheme!
Celia looked at Elizabeth pitifully. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be about to shed tears, which was heartâwrenching, âSam, I..â Celia called Samuelâs name in a coquettish manner, making everyone feel bad for her.
Samuel instantly became angry. âElizabeth, donât push your luck!â
Samuel was seized with the impulse to strangle Elizabeth in front of everyone. The murderous intent in his eyes Elizabeth step back.
âElizabeth, youâre asking for trouble!â
It seemed that Elizabeth had become more daring in the four years they had not seen each other, daring to insult Celia so publicly!
Elizabeth had experienced Samuelâs fury before. She was almost tortured to death by him that night four years ago.
Celia, tearfully, spoke up. âElizabeth, karma is watching. How could you say such things? Sam and I were meant to be together. If it wasnât for you intervening, we wouldnât have had to wait until now. Besides, when you were with Sam, I was always abroad. Did I not give you a chance?â
R2 Chapter 6 What a performance.
Elizabeth could hardly resist applauding Celia!
The crowdâs view of Elizabeth became even more contemptuous, and they started to gossip.
âSheâs shameless! Sheâs the third wheel, yet she puts all the blame on Celia!â
âWhat is Celiaâs standing and what is this ugly woman?â
âWith her hideous appearance, itâs a wonder Samuel could even eat in her presence.â
The gossip continued.
Taced with these biting comments, Elizabeth remained extremely indifferent, her eyes hidden behind sunglasses shining with Elizabeth said inwardly.
âCelia, itâs been four years. Is this the only trick you know?â
Tomas couldnât stand to see Elizabeth being bullied. He and Samuel had agreed on a period of four years, yet Samuel couldnât wait for the remaining two months?
âDad, let the younger generation handle their own affairs.â
âYeah. Dad, Elizabeth is an adult. You have to let her learn her own lessons.â
Tomasâ sons tried their best to persuade him, and besides, Elizabeth wasnât losing to Celia.
Tomas snorted in displeasure.
However, he was quite pleased. After four years, Elizabeth seemed more cheerful and intelligent than before.
The audienceâs mockery only fueled the arrogance of the Yorks and Celia.
However, it was Celia who spoke for Elizabeth at this moment. âToday is Grandpaâs 80th birthday. Liz, I know youâre angry, and I understand your pain. Youâve come back after a long time. Regardless of how much you hate me, could avoid causing a scene today?â
Celiaâs words were direct. As soon as Elizabeth came back, she caused a scene at Tomas party, turning the birthday celebration Hearing Cellaâs words, everyoneâs dislike for Elizabeth intensified, including Samuelâs âCome on, Liz, letâs drink this cup of wine as a sign of reconciliation. Letâs put the past behind us. Today, I promise in front of everyone that I will respect you like my elder sister in the future. After all, you were also raised by the Yorks.â
Elizabeth scolded inwardly. âUgh!
âWho needs your respect?â
Elizabeth didnât need this kind of respect.

Chapter 6 Besides, why should Celia say such things? Celia was the one who intruded on Elizabethâs relationship with Samuel. Still, Celia was acting so arrogantly despite being a homewrecker!
And these people, just because Celia was beautiful and was a superstar, bullied Elizabeth at will!
Celia purposefully brought up Tomas to pressure Elizabeth into submission.
Everyoneâs gaze was focused on Elizabeth and Celia, and all of them were full of praise for Celia.
âCelia is so kind, always thinking of others.â
âLook at Elizabeth. What a disgrace to all women!â
