Chapter 152 Begging Miss Spencer for Mercy
Elizabeth, who was sitting next to Alexander, was startled by his actions.
She was about to lean back behind Alexander when she saw Laura suddenly scramble in front of her with a thud. Laura was crying her eyes out, "Miss Spencer, please, I'm begging you, let me go this once, okay?"
Remaining silent, Elizabeth really didn't want to deal with Laura!
She didn't even know Laura, yet Laura had arrogantly demanded that Elizabeth fetch her shoes.
And even insulted her!
"Your attitude changes so quickly," Elizabeth calmly sighed. "Just now in the bathroom, it was you who ordered me to fetch your shoes, it was you who scolded me for not knowing who you were, it was you who publicly humiliated me in the room. Now, it's you pleading in front of me, crying pitifully. Which one is the real you? I really don't know. I'm just a woman who can't even solve my basic needs, running for my life every day. How would I know who you are? Is it wrong that I don't know who you are? Is this how you high society people bully others?"
Laura remained silent. It was only then that she realized Elizabeth had no idea she was a dazzling star in the entertainment industry.
She clung to Elizabeth's feet with both hands, continuously pleading, "Miss Spencer, it's my fault, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so arrogant and bullied you. Please forgive me this time, okay? I'm begging you, Miss Spencer."
Elizabeth shook her head, saying, "You might not know that I'm just someone else's plaything here, and begging me is useless."
After saying this, Elizabeth sighed and looked at Alexander, saying, "Mr. Windsor, if you are punishing Miss Mitchell because of me, I personally think it's unnecessary. I don't hate her. I don't think I deserve any special treatment that requires punishing Miss Mitchell. You must have other reasons for punishing her, right? Then please don't use me as an excuse. If you really are punishing her because of me, then please let her go. I don't need it. I can't see through you all, nor can I play your strange games. You can punish me however you want. As for matters between you and other women, I don't want to get involved."
Throughout, Elizabeth remained calm and indifferent.
No one could see any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness in her.
Elizabeth truly felt none of these emotions.
No matter how degraded she became tonight, no matter which man she accompanied, she accepted her fate without struggle.
But she wouldn't get involved in any unexpected complications.
Alexander looked at Elizabeth with great interest.
She was neither happy nor angry, unperturbed by honor or disgrace, calmly enduring cruelty without a scream. She was worlds apart from the once arrogant but now humble and ugly Laura.
Alexander then looked at Laura, asking, "You're the newly crowned Best Actress, right?"
Laura nodded, answering, "Yes, Mr. Windsor. If... if you could spare me, I will personally do all the advertisements for the Windsor Group in the next year. I won't charge any fees. My influence nationwide is still very..."
"Get out!" Alexander said.
"What did you say?" Laura thought she had misheard, asking.
Alexander repeated, "Movie star? Newly crowned Best Actress? Think everyone should know and recognize you? Well, I'm telling you now, you better retire from acting for the next three years. You can't even take on advertisements!"
This was the lightest punishment Alexander could give Laura.
As a public figure and newly crowned Best Actress, she had ordered Elizabeth to fetch her shoes in the bathroom!
Such behavior, making her retire, was already a lenient punishment from Alexander.
"Mr. Windsor," Laura became even more desperate, pleading, "I'm willing to drink ninety glasses, okay? Please don't make me leave, don't make me retire."
Making her retire for three years and not even take on advertisements would mean the end of her career. She would be unable to make a comeback in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, offending Alexander meant she would never be able to enter high society again.
Laura gritted her teeth, immediately pleading with Alexander to let her drink ninety glasses of red wine as punishment.
Though not as strong as whiskey, ninety glasses of red wine equaled thirteen bottles of wine.
By the end, Laura was completely drunk, like a puddle of mud.
Laura vomiting all over the place, the other two women in the private room, Caspian's companion and Calvin's companion, couldn't help but cover their noses in disgust, saying, "She drank thirteen bottles of wine. She must have been a lowly woman trained for this!"
Although Laura was drunk as a skunk, she wasn't asleep, still hearing what others were saying. Hearing herself being described this way, Laura felt utterly humiliated.
In the end, it was Gideon who had the best temper, helping Laura out and throwing her outside the private room. Then he took out his phone and called the staff, "There's a woman here who's drunk. Please call a cab to take her home."
"Yes, she's right outside the private room." He added.
After hanging up, Gideon was about to go back in when Laura clung to his leg, asking him, "Mr. Lavien, what did I do to offend Mr. Windsor today that he would treat me like this? Could you please tell me?"
Gideon looked at Laura calmly, asking, "Do you have a grudge against Miss Spencer?"
Laura replied, "No."
"No grudge, then why did you make her fetch your shoes, and humiliate her? Why?" Gideon asked.
Laura said, "I..."
What could she say?
She wanted to say that she thought she was of high status, feeling insulted to be in the same private room with someone like Elizabeth, a bar girl. Another reason was that she had never had such an opportunity before, to sit in the same room with four top-tier big shots. Naturally, she didn't want to miss any chance to showcase herself.
Especially in front of Alexander.
Because Aldoria was an international metropolis and a major hub for the film industry, she would mainly be developing her career in Aldoria in the future.
So Laura wanted to take every opportunity to showcase her charm, intelligence, aloofness, and control in front of Alexander.
After all, Elizabeth was just a bar girl!
Laura thought bar girls were there for the amusement of those in the private room. By suppressing and humiliating a bar girl, wouldn't she be hitting the mark with Alexander?
But she never expected to be humiliated because of it.
"Is it really because of that Elizabeth? She's just a bar girl, she..."
Gideon sneered, "Whether she's a bar girl or not, she's someone Alexander brought here. You dared to humiliate Alexander's woman, what else could it be but self-inflicted humiliation?"
Laura remained silent.
