Chapter 276 Protecting Elizabeth
The crowd was stunned again.
The reporters even forgot to take photos.
Before they could recover, Simon and Robert rushed in one after the other.
"Elizabeth! Where are you!"
"Where's Elizabeth!"
When Simon and Robert saw Elizabeth at the same time, their brows furrowed deeply.
Simon had just gotten off the plane.
This morning, after seeing the photos of Elizabeth in Declan's hospital room, Simon called Elizabeth. Without saying much on the phone, Simon had Linda released from the police station. He originally planned to question Linda over the phone, but at that critical moment, the hotel staff informed him that the earliest flight back to Sunwillow City was about to depart. He had to rush to the airport immediately, or he would miss it.
Busy catching the car, Simon didn't call Linda again. After a series of tasks at the airport, he faced a long wait. By the time he got off the plane, there was no need to communicate with Linda over the phone.
Simon headed straight to the construction company.
On the way from the airport to the construction company, he turned on his phone, intending to check if the video had been taken down. Knowing Alexander, if there were compromising photos of Elizabeth circulating online, Alexander would have the sources shut down immediately.
However, as soon as Simon opened the video, he saw that news about Elizabeth was spreading like wildfire.
Before reaching the company, he could tell from the video that the hotel Elizabeth was in belonged to the Lavien Family, turning the car around and heading straight there.
Outside the hotel, Simon ran into Robert.
Robert was about to greet Simon, "Simon."
But Simon raised his fist and punched Robert hard in the face, asking "What are you doing! I told you not to let Molly buy shares back then, but you insisted because she is your aunt. Now, what is Molly up to? What grudge does she have against Elizabeth? She's pretending to have a good talk with Elizabeth, but she wants to destroy her!"
Robert asked, "Simon, you know Elizabeth too?"
Simon answered, "Of course! She's my cousin!"
Robert asked, "Simon, why didn't you say so earlier."
Simon said, "Robert, don't tell me you're like Owen, thinking Elizabeth is simple, honest, and quiet, easy to bully, wanting to play with her. Fuck, if you dare have such thoughts about her, I'll stab you with a knife!"
Robert said, "I genuinely like Elizabeth. I've never liked a girl as much as I like her. I'm sincere, but she never paid attention to me. Elizabeth and Molly don't even know each other. Why is Molly doing this? Even if someone wanted to cause trouble for Elizabeth, shouldn't it be Harper? But I already fired Harper. I've paved the way for Elizabeth at the design company; no one dares to bully her."
Simon sneered coldly, "Have you forgotten whose sister Harper is?"
Robert said, "I haven't forgotten. She's your cousin Elodie's sister."
Elodie!
Others might not know Elodie well, but Simon knew her best!
The Williams Family was just an ordinary family in Sunwillow City, but Elodie, who was orphaned, was raised by the Jones Family. Elodie's temper was more arrogant and conceited than any real rich girl in Sunwillow City. But after Declan had his granddaughter Clara, he didn't care much for Elodie anymore.
This created a huge sense of loss for Elodie.
Elodie didn't dare to resent Clara, so she took all her anger out on Elizabeth.
Simon said coldly, "Elodie, you're truly vicious!"
Then he glared at Robert angrily, saying, "Robert! Don't forget, Molly once crazily pursued Alexander!"
Robert slapped his forehead, saying, "Damn, Molly is a psycho!"
With that, they quickly ran towards the banquet hall.
Before they even entered, they saw a crowd of reporters at the door. At this moment, they didn't bother to drive the reporters away but rushed into the banquet hall, only to see a group of socialites angrily scolding Elizabeth.
Standing on either side of Elizabeth were Owen and Daniel.
"Elizabeth, are you okay?" Simon asked with concern.
Immediately, Robert said, "Elizabeth, don't worry. This hotel is owned by the Lavien Family. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you!"
Elizabeth remained silent.
Sometimes she was confused. Did Molly deliberately arrange for so many people to save her, just to let the reporters see her seducing men?
Or did they all coincidentally come?
Elizabeth smiled bitterly in her heart, already numb.
The four men surrounding her formed a striking spectacle.
Outside the hall, a reporter couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly impressive. Miss Lavien wasn't exaggerating. Elizabeth's ability to seduce men is truly remarkable. At least two wealthy heirs from Sunwillow City are here. And a handsome foreigner. And a young master from the Lavien Family in Pariz. Oh my god! If today's events are broadcasted, I could make a lifetime's worth of wealth in one day."
Everyone's first reaction was that Elizabeth's ability to seduce men was extraordinary, including the man Owen had kicked to the door.
At this moment, that man fully believed what Molly had told him.
When Molly initially sought him to frame Elizabeth, she had said, "Just act as if it's real. Elizabeth messes around with many men, so one more won't make a difference. You can easily make it look real. The more convincing you are, the worse Elizabeth's outcome will be, and you'll receive a reward of over ten million dollars that you can't spend in a lifetime. Here's a down payment of one million dollars! Give it your all!"
If he performed well, Molly would give him a ten-million-dollar reward.
For ten million dollars and to avenge Owen's kick, the man crawled to Elizabeth and wailed, "Elizabeth! You bitch, I didn't expect you to mess around with so many men. What am I to you? Who am I to you? Tell me clearly! If you don't, I'll release all the private photos we took together."
Before the man could finish, Simon grabbed his jaw.
Simon was a cultured man and didn't have much brute strength.
However, at this moment, he was so enraged that his strength, combined with his anger, crushed the man's jaw.
The man screamed in agony.
