Chapter 271 Meeting an Old Acquaintance
Elizabeth nodded and then fell silent, her expression as calm as ever.
At that moment, although they hadn't entered, the reporters gathering at the entrance of the banquet hall focused their long lenses to capture the scene.
They recorded while muttering to themselves.
"My God, Elizabeth is amazing that she can still stay so calm."
"I feel like Elizabeth's approach is heading towards ruining her reputation. If that's the case, she's really making a profit."
"No! Look closely, that woman is the recently retired star, Laura. When Laura retired, it was rumored that she was forced to. Could it be related to Elizabeth?"
"My God, Elizabeth is really something!"
"Laura worked so hard in her acting career; how did she offend her?"
Outside the banquet hall, it was crowded with reporters.
Because Molly didn't allow them to enter, they didn't dare to, but this didn't affect their subsequent reporting at all.
At this moment, they held their breath, watching the situation between Elizabeth and Laura.
Elizabeth remained as composed as ever.
Some admired her, and someone even said, "I'm curious now. I want to see if there's anyone who can make her scared."
"There is someone Elizabeth is definitely afraid of."
"Who? Tell us!"
"The strongest man in Sunwillow City, Alexander! I don't believe it. If Alexander came, would Elizabeth not be afraid? She would definitely be scared! But things wouldn't get to that point. Alexander wouldn't come. He now is different from six years ago. How could he bother with such trivial matters? Even if he did, he would have his men chop Elizabeth into pieces and bury her to avoid trouble!"
"That's true. Alexander wouldn't come to a place like this. If he did, Elizabeth would be dead."
"Stop talking, focus the camera on Laura and Elizabeth!"
As the reporters discussed, Laura had already stood up and approached Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth, because of you, I was forced to drink so much that I had to have my stomach pumped several times. Now I can't eat solid food, only liquids, all thanks to you. Elizabeth, how do you think I should get justice today? How about making you drink ninety glasses of wine?" Laura asked slowly.
Laura still remembered that Elizabeth couldn't drink at all, thinking she would struggle and refuse.
Unexpectedly, Elizabeth simply said, "Okay."
Laura was silent, almost at a loss for words.
In an instant, she suddenly laughed, "Elizabeth, do you think you can agree so easily because you brought a man to help you drink? Let me tell you..."
"I don't know him," Elizabeth said again.
Laura was silent.
The man who came in with Elizabeth said, "Elizabeth, you want to ditch me? No way!"
At this moment, Elodie, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Elizabeth! You shameless woman! Even now, you bring your lover to a place like this. My fiancé defended you so much, if he knew the woman he defended was so lowly, what would he think of you! You filthy thing! You come to ruin me and Owen. How can you be so shameless to come here today? Oh, I forgot, you have no self-respect. Laura, if you have a grudge, take it out today! We all support you. Since she dared to come here, does she think she can still have the upper hand? Does she think the reporters she called will back her up?"
Hearing Elodie's words, Laura felt even more confident.
Laura slowly smiled, "Elizabeth, you think you're tough, but I'm even tougher. Last time I was forced to drink ninety glasses, today you will drink twice that amount. And it has to be strong liquor! Today, you will drink whether you want to or not!"
Elizabeth calmly asked, "As long as I drink, that's enough?"
"Of course!" Laura rolled her eyes and sneered.
One hundred and eighty glasses of liquor.
Elizabeth would surely die from drinking that much!
"Fine!" Elizabeth said coldly, "I'll drink."
If drinking would end this banquet and they would let her go, Elizabeth thought it was worth it.
She knew that one hundred and eighty glasses might kill her.
But what if it didn't?
Even if her intestines were torn and her stomach had to be removed.
As long as she could live, live to see Alice grow up, Elizabeth was willing to drink.
Seeing Elizabeth agree so readily, Molly, who orchestrated all this, couldn't hide her joy.
How amusing!
Even if Elizabeth died from drinking, it would be Laura who forced her to death.
"Bring the wine!" Molly ordered, snapping her fingers at the waiter.
The waiter was about to leave when two people suddenly entered, saying, "Wait!"
The waiter was stunned.
Everyone in the banquet hall was also stunned.
They all looked towards the entrance.
The reporters at the door instinctively made way, wanting to see who had arrived and what would happen next.
They were very eager.
The newcomers were Linda, followed by a tall, handsome foreign man.
Daniel was all smiles, while Linda, holding Daniel's arm, walked in slowly.
As they stepped inside, Linda let go of Daniel's hand, looking at everyone present, then at the reporters, and saying in a righteous tone, "My name is Linda. I worked with Elizabeth for three weeks. I'm the designer who was extorted ten thousand dollars by her. This woman is utterly insane. She not only forged fake degrees and resumes but also maliciously altered my designs, causing me to fail, and then extorted ten thousand dollars from me!"
As soon as Linda said this, the reporters outside started clamoring again.
"My God, this woman Elizabeth is truly wicked!"
"Extortion, she even extorted!"
"With her skills at seducing men, she still extorted."
"This woman is truly heinous!"
As the reporters' discussions grew louder, Daniel beside Linda had already approached Elizabeth.
He said in surprise, "Elizabeth, it's you. You made it very hard for me to find you!"
