Chapter 292 All Kinds of Criticism Are Welcome.
Elsa instinctively wanted to close the door, but Luke got ahead of her, stepping into the room.
"Are you with Leo?" His chest heaved violently as he suppressed his anger, pinning her against the door and questioning her.
Seeing Leo's car downstairs made him feel like he was even more furious.
Elsa was helpless. "We're not together. That photo was taken while I was asleep."
Luke asked, "As an assistant, you need to accompany your boss to watch a movie?"
He thought, 'And you were leaning on each other!'
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?" Elsa couldn't help but retort. She couldn't very well admit she was paid to watch a movie with Leo, or Luke would mock her.
The fire in Luke's eyes died down.
They were already divorced. Even if she was with Leo, what did it matter to him?
Luke felt his chest was uncomfortably blocked, so his words were still harsh. He pressed Elsa against the door, gritting his teeth. "Elsa, we still have a bet agreement. Even if you two are together, you still can't leave without my permission."
"Isn't there still a year left? Besides, if I really hooked up with Leo, I would pay off the sixty million dollars easily." Elsa laughed in anger at Luke's words.
Luke's face turned red, and his fists trembled at his sides.
"What about the Taylor family's reputation? Now the whole world thinks I've been cheated on! Elsa, you're right. Once you learn a skill, it's hard not to use it. The way you seduced Leo is just as disgusting as when you seduced me!"
He suddenly punched the door frame.
Those words were too hurtful. Luke said them in a fit of rage, and seeing Elsa press her lips together without speaking, he felt a bit regretful.
Her eyes were slightly red, and his heart trembled in response.
"If you know that's the kind of person I am, then just consider the past year as nothing, okay? As for the Taylor family, I will definitely come forward to clarify," After a minute, Elsa suddenly said.
Her face was cold and disappointed. She gave Luke a deep look, then turned and went back to her bedroom.
Luke didn't know how he left, not even noticing the blood seeping from his knuckles.
After Luke left, Elsa suppressed the pain in her chest and posted a clarification under her real name.
[Hello everyone, I'm Elsa. I'm sorry to take up public resources. I need to explain some recent events. First, Mr. Taylor and I divorced two months ago. Here is the divorce certificate.
Second, I am Mr. Leo Adams' assistant and English teacher. Watching an English movie with Mr. Adams was for teaching purposes. Falling asleep during the movie was my dereliction of duty, and it was even more inappropriate for my employer to cover me with a coat. I apologize to my employer, Mr. Adams.
Mr. Luke Taylor and Mr. Leo Adams value their privacy. Please be cautious in spreading information to avoid receiving a lawyer's letter.
The comment section will remain open. All kinds of criticism are welcome. Please do not disturb the other two.]
Elsa's statement was concise, straightforward, and responsible. The comment section was in an uproar.
[You're impressive.]
[Elsa's statement is very different from her brainless comments in that interview. Did someone ghostwrite it?]
[It's strange that Luke and Leo aren't speaking up and letting her handle the PR.]
[You and Luke are divorced? What about the baby? Didn't it survive?]
[Rumor has it that Mrs. Taylor broke them up because Elsa lost the baby.]
[Elsa's got some skills, fooling a bunch of rich guys.]
Opinions were mixed, but Elsa let the public opinion ferment. She had issued a clarification, giving the Taylor family an explanation. She couldn't control what others said.
She just didn't expect Luke to think of her that way, and the bitterness she had suppressed spread in her heart.
Half a day passed like this. At night, Elsa checked the news again, and public opinion had strangely shifted.
[With so many nasty comments, Elsa didn't delete a single one. She's so impressive.]
[This world is too harsh on women. Why is everyone blaming Elsa?]
[Yeah, men have no problems. It's always the woman's fault.]
In her private messages, there were thousands of comforting and encouraging words flooding in, leaving Elsa a bit stunned. Had this crisis been resolved just like that?
Her heart pounded, and she opened a bottle of cold Coke, drinking it silently in the night. She felt that things weren't that simple.
The next morning, Elsa was back in the headlines.
