Chapter 216 When Bullied, Call Your Husband
Elizabeth said with a calm expression, "I've already hit."
Debra was even more furious, shouting, "Odette! Go call everyone, get all our colleagues here, and strip this female prisoner naked so everyone at The Windsor Manor can see what a slut she is!!"
Odette replied, "I'll go right away!"
"Stop!" Gavin's harsh voice came from behind.
Debra and Odette immediately looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing it was Alexander's assistant Gavin, they immediately put on flattering smiles, saying, "Mr. Brown, it's you. Come and see this woman, she's the one from six years ago..."
"Call her Mrs. Windsor!" Gavin said.
Debra asked, "What?"
"Call her Mrs. Windsor and apologize to her. Whether she forgives you is another matter. If Mr. Windsor finds out about this, you know what will happen!" Gavin said coldly, looking at Debra and Odette.
Mrs. Windsor?
Elizabeth is already Alexander's wife?
Debra and Odette were so scared that their legs felt like jelly, almost wetting their pants. Debra, who had started the trouble, stammered, "Mrs. Windsor, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Mrs. Windsor. Please forgive me this once?"
Odette also pleaded with a tearful face, "Mrs. Windsor, please forgive us. Don't hold it against us ignorant maids. Please spare us this time, Mrs. Windsor?"
Elizabeth's tone was cold and indifferent, "You insulted and cursed me, and I slapped both of you, so we're even. There's no need for forgiveness. I just want some peace and quiet here, so please don't hover around me."
Debra and Odette were silent.
Just like that?
"Mrs. Windsor?" Gavin looked at Elizabeth, asking.
Elizabeth said softly, "It's fine."
Debra and Odette didn't gain anything, and neither did she. So be it.
After all, this is The Windsor Manor where she didn't want to cause trouble. Because Alice was here.
She had to think about Alice.
Elizabeth had called Gavin not to back her up but to prevent Debra and Odette from fighting back.
She couldn't take on Debra and Odette alone.
"Mrs. Windsor, why don't you go inside?" Gavin asked kindly.
Although Elizabeth spoke very little, sometimes not responding even after ten sentences, Gavin always felt that she had a kind and gentle heart. He still remembered the cute hand warmer Elizabeth had bought for him six years ago, still keeping that hand warmer.
Elizabeth exhaled, looking at Gavin calmly and saying, "Gavin, do you know? Six years ago, in this grand manor hall, I was insulted by the entire noble circle of Sunwillow City. They called me a whore who seduced their family heirs, banding together to drive me out of Sunwillow City. In this hall, they almost killed me. When I think of what happened six years ago, it feels like it was just yesterday. After six years, I'm back outside this villa, and I really don't have the courage to go in, Gavin. I'm not a brave person. I don't have the courage to endure such humiliation again."
Hearing Elizabeth say this, Gavin felt a sudden pang in his heart, not knowing what to say, "Mrs. Windsor."
Elizabeth suddenly smiled slightly, saying jokingly, " Are you afraid I'll run away? I know you're tasked with watching over me today, so I won't make it difficult for you. Even if I want to run, I'll wait until you aren't around. Besides, where could I run to? I was caught and brought back from as far away as Collinsport. What are you worried about? Especially since Alice is still here."
Elizabeth's words put Gavin in a difficult position.
He even felt bad about himself.
"Mrs. Windsor, I'll take my leave now," Gavin said.
"Okay." Elizabeth smiled at Gavin.
As soon as he was out of Elizabeth's sight, Gavin immediately called Alexander.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth continued to stand outside the hall, thinking that if Alexander and Alice didn't call her in, it meant she wasn't needed inside, and she could stay outside. If they insisted on her going in, she could go in later.
Standing outside the villa, admiring the flowers and plants, Elizabeth felt not bad.
"Were you the one bullying my two maids just now?" A questioning voice came from behind.
Elizabeth turned around, seeing another woman.
This woman was completely different from the two maids earlier.
She was dressed in high-end fashion, very refined, with a great figure, well-maintained, looking about the same age as Elizabeth. Her makeup was exquisite, a standard noble beauty.
Did Alexander have a half-sister?
Elizabeth had never heard of it.
Whether she was Alexander's half-sister or not, Elizabeth didn't care, just walking around the woman to the other side.
The woman shouted, "Elizabeth! What are you so proud of!" She scolded Elizabeth while blocking her path.
Elizabeth immediately covered her nose and mouth.
The woman had a strong, pungent perfume smell.
Elizabeth had allergies.
Not all perfumes were off-limits, though. If the perfume was well-made, not too strong, using quality ingredients, Elizabeth could tolerate it.
But the perfume this woman wore was definitely a cheap, pungent one. Mixed with her own body odor, it was a nauseating stench.
"Why are you holding your nose!" The woman asked angrily, Elizabeth's gesture completely infuriating her, shouting, "You better explain yourself, or you won't leave here! My maids are afraid of you because they don't know your background, but I'm not afraid of you! Tell me! Why are you holding your nose!"
She wanted to see how Elizabeth would respond.
But she never expected Elizabeth to simply say, "Because you stink."
"What!" The woman was furious, shouting.
"I can't stand your stench!" Elizabeth added.
"You!" She was trembling with anger, raising her hand to slap Elizabeth and shouting, "I'll cripple you today!"
But her raised hand was caught by a strong hand from behind, followed by a cold, harsh voice, "Sarah, do you have a death wish!"
Sarah turned around, seeing Alexander, his face full of murderous intent. She immediately started crying but didn't forget to complain, "Alexander, this Elizabeth insulted me!"
Alexander looked at Elizabeth, scolding, "If you're being bullied, don't you know to call your husband!"
