Chapter 359 Go Find Her
Matthew was the first to react, frowning as he stormed over and pointed at her. "Elizabeth, what the hell are you doing here?"
Elizabeth slapped his hand away. "I go where I want. My legs, my choice! Who do you think you are?"
She walked straight up to Michael, staring him down.
Matthew followed her, his voice dripping with disdain. "Elizabeth, how can you be so shameless? Michael's always treated you well, and you repay him by sneaking around with other guys in hotels?"
"That scandalous video of you went viral, and you still have the nerve to show your face? Aren't you afraid people will throw rotten eggs at you on the street?"
Elizabeth shot back, "Better than being a self-righteous fool. Duped and used as a pawn, yet still playing the hero."
Matthew was furious, pointing at her. "Elizabeth! This is STellar Enterprises, not your Jones Group! If you want to throw your weight around, go back to your own turf!"
"What, has STellar Enterprises changed ownership and become your territory in the few days I haven't been around?"
Elizabeth gave him a sidelong glance, crossing her arms and smirking at Michael. "Or, Mr. Thomas, have you turned mute?"
Matthew jumped in again. "Don't just target Michael! You know he turns into an idiot whenever it comes to you!"
Michael shouted, "Matthew! Shut up!"
Elizabeth sneered. "An idiot? What power do I have to mess with Mr. Thomas' mind?"
Michael didn't want to argue in front of everyone. He grabbed her arm and pulled her aside, speaking in a low voice.
"I didn't take that online thing to heart. Why are you here with all these people, making a scene?"
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, her eyes cold. "You didn't take it to heart? Michael, that wasn't me in the video. Whether you care or not is irrelevant to me. You think I'm making a scene? Well, I am. I want everyone to know!"
Michael grabbed her tightly, his brow furrowing and his patience clearly wearing thin. "Elizabeth, calm down. I'll investigate this. If you're truly innocent, I'll make sure you get justice."
Elizabeth yanked her arm free, her gaze icy. "What justice can you give me? You didn't film the video. Or do you know who did and you're covering for her?"
Daniel, having just hung up the phone at the front desk, hurried over and shooed away the gossiping employees.
He tugged on Dean's sleeve. "Why is Elizabeth here with so many people? Looks like she's here to fight."
Dean leaned in close to Daniel's ear, covering his mouth with his hand as he whispered, "I think she is. She's pregnant, so she brought bodyguards."
Daniel's eyes widened. He always thought of Elizabeth as quiet and composed. Who knew she could be so fierce when provoked?
Elizabeth, exuding her CEO aura, declared, "Mr. Thomas, have one of your employees show me to the PR department. I need to find someone."
Michael frowned, suspecting she wanted to confront Margaret.
Before he could punish Margaret, she was still the PR manager. Allowing Elizabeth to publicly reprimand her could destabilize the company.
He hesitated. "Margaret is still the PR manager. Show her some respect."
Elizabeth laughed bitterly. "Mr. Thomas, you sure know how to protect your own!"
She thought to herself, 'So he knows Margaret is involved but still covers for her. Did something happen between them that night at the Ramirez family's hotel? Have they crossed a line?'
Why had she ever liked this man?
She coldly stated, "I don't have evidence yet, so I'm not looking for her. I want her cousin, Octavia!"
Michael took a deep breath and told Daniel, "Take her there."
Daniel glanced at Michael, confirming he was serious about letting Elizabeth have her way.
Seeing Michael turn away, he walked to the door and bowed slightly. "Ms. Jones, this way, please."
Elizabeth, flanked by her bodyguards, headed to the PR department.
An employee had already warned Margaret.
Margaret opened her office door to see Daniel leading Elizabeth, followed by Dean and a group of bodyguards, all looking hostile.
She couldn't tell what evidence Elizabeth had.
Aiden and Elizabeth had no personal connection, which was why she and Octavia felt safe plotting at the Ramirez family's hotel.
Standing at the PR department entrance, she blocked Daniel's path. "Mr. Taylor, what's going on? Everyone's working."
Daniel was in a tough spot. "Ms. Taylor, Mr. Thomas instructed me to let Ms. Jones find someone."
Margaret was stunned. Elizabeth wasn't here for her?
In her moment of hesitation, she lowered her arm, and the group marched in.
Octavia, seeing them, walked over in her high heels, pretending to be gentle. "Mr. Taylor, why are you here? My cousin..."
Elizabeth, seeing Octavia's face that mirrored her own, felt a surge of anger. She coldly ordered her bodyguards, "Hold her down!"
Two bodyguards grabbed Octavia's arms.
Octavia's eyes widened in shock, and she screamed at Margaret, "Margaret, help me!"
Margaret, fearing Michael's impending punishment, didn't dare intervene. She hurried back to her office, pretending not to hear.
Octavia watched Margaret leave, her expression turning from weak to hateful.
None of the STellar Enterprises employees stepped in.
Octavia, with her Elizabeth-like face, often loitered around the CEO's office. Her intentions were clear, and everyone had long been fed up with her.
Elizabeth didn't hesitate, slapping Octavia twice.
Blood trickled from Octavia's mouth, and her cheeks swelled.
The bodyguards released her, and she fell to the floor.
A bodyguard brought over a chair. Elizabeth sat down without a second thought.
Looking down at Octavia, she said, "I didn't pursue you for getting surgery to look like me. But you shouldn't have used my face to do whatever you wanted and tarnish my reputation."
