Chapter 275 Too Many Men Want to Save Her
Watching Owen about to take Elizabeth away, Molly roared, "Owen! Stop right there!"
Owen turned back to look at Molly, sneering disdainfully, "Molly! The Lavien Family from Pariz! Alexander has ties with your family, and his feelings for them are stronger than for his own relatives. So, this conspiracy banquet set up for Elizabeth today was initiated by you, right?"
Molly sneered, "Good that you know!"
She glanced at the surrounding ladies, then at Elizabeth, who remained calm and silent, saying to Owen, "Owen, we all know what kind of person you are and how you used to play with women. As for you and Elodie, it was a contract, a transaction, nothing to do with us. We are not here to set up a banquet for Elizabeth today; we originally wanted to resolve some issues with her privately. But we didn't expect you to barge in so shamelessly. Owen, are you telling the whole world that everything between you and Elizabeth is true? Or was your arrival part of Elizabeth's plan? Otherwise, why would she be so indifferent?"
After speaking, Molly asked Elizabeth, "Elizabeth, did you arrange for all these men to back you up?"
Elizabeth smiled faintly, "What do you think?"
"Alright! Admitting it so straightforwardly!" Molly sneered viciously, then looked at all the ladies present, "You all saw it, Elizabeth has always been so arrogant. Her means of seducing men have always been so shameless. You saw with your own eyes how Elodie was kicked down by her fiancé here. All because of this shameless woman! She is truly despicable and shameless!"
Seeing that everyone was afraid of Owen's aggressive approach, Molly still managed to stop Owen from taking Elizabeth away. The ladies felt like they had a backbone and surrounded Owen, ready to fight.
These women had been insanely jealous of Elizabeth ever since Daniel regarded her as his mentor.
They were the high and mighty ladies, the socialites.
What was Elizabeth?
She was a prisoner, a lowly woman living at the bottom! A woman captured by Alexander!
But just when their jealousy was driving them crazy, Owen appeared.
Usually, Owen wasn't so domineering. He was just a fallen man from a declining family, a loser. But now, when he was protecting Elizabeth, how many women's hearts did his dominance capture?
But Owen came to save Elizabeth, willing to die for her.
"Elizabeth! What spell did you cast on Owen to make him so obsessed with you?" At this moment, Laura, who usually managed her emotions well, suddenly cursed at Elizabeth.
Laura had never paid much attention to Owen before, but his recent actions had truly captured her affection.
Because she liked Owen's dominance, she became even more jealous of Elizabeth!
They appeared gentle, elegant, and noble, wealthy people, but when cursing Elizabeth, they were all more vicious and shameless than the other.
They rushed to curse, afraid that someone else would steal their insults.
Seeing these women cursing Elizabeth, Owen felt an excruciating pain in his heart.
He always attributed Elizabeth's plight to his own fault.
Six years ago, if he hadn't toyed with Elizabeth repeatedly, if he had had a bit of conscience and taken in Elizabeth and her unborn child, perhaps now Elizabeth would be living a peaceful life with a job she liked.
But because of his actions back then, she ended up with a ruined reputation with Marcus and his parents, leading Marcus to unite the entire upper class to suppress her, tarnishing her reputation beyond repair.
This led to Elizabeth's current situation.
Owen said in a low voice to Elizabeth, "Elizabeth, come with me. Let's leave the country and never come back. From now on, no one will criticize you anymore. Let's go! I'll take you away right now!"
With that, he was about to kick away the ladies surrounding them and take Elizabeth out.
But Elizabeth didn't move.
She was neither happy nor sad, neither crying nor making a fuss.
She just looked at Owen calmly, saying, "You go, take your fiancée with you."
Owen had already done enough for her; Elizabeth didn't want to drag him down, nor the curled-up Elodie who had been kicked by Owen. Anyway, she couldn't escape Molly's humiliation today; struggling would be futile.
Elizabeth just wanted to leave a wide path for Alice.
So, she didn't struggle at all.
Moreover, she had long been accustomed to such insults.
Since she was twelve, she had endured verbal abuse from Lila, Oliver, and Clara. Later on, she also faced insults and oppression from those in prison. After being released from prison, Elizabeth had already grown accustomed to the injustices she faced in Sunwillow City.
Maybe, in this life, Elizabeth was destined to be cursed wherever she went, never able to escape.
So, Elizabeth got used to it.
Besides, before coming here, Elizabeth had thought that these women, led by Molly, would definitely be more ruthless than the last time in the company. They would probably first bring in reporters to expose her scandals to the fullest, completely ruining her reputation, then strip her naked, having multiple men assault her, and record it on video. In the end, they would beat her face swollen and ruined with shoe soles.
But now, these women hadn't even started yet, so how could she leave?
Seeing Elizabeth unwilling to leave, Owen bent down to forcibly carry her away.
But just as he bent down, two men entered from outside.
Two male voices, both extremely urgent, called out in unison, "Elizabeth, are you here?"
