Chapter 278 Chop Off the Hand Holding Her Clutch
Everyone turned to the door.
The reporters had already instinctively cleared the entire doorway.
At this moment, Alexander, dressed in a blue suit, walked leisurely into the banquet hall. His expression was calm, neither smiling nor angry, and his gaze did not focus on any particular spot. With one hand in his pocket, he walked in with a slightly casual yet cold demeanor.
The banquet hall fell silent.
However, aside from Elizabeth, everyone's hearts were pounding wildly.
Especially the noblewomen who had just been suppressed by Elizabeth's four knights. They were all hoping that Alexander would come and cut this filthy woman in half on the spot!
Alexander actually came!
They were all waiting to see how he would deal with Elizabeth.
Everyone in Sunwillow City knew that Alexander never lost his temper.
He would never rage and kick people like Owen.
When he wanted someone dead, he would simply say, "Bury them alive."
That was Alexander.
In Sunwillow City and even Pariz, no one dared to cross him.
At this moment, not just the noblewomen, but even Owen, Simon, Robert, and Daniel were so intimidated by Alexander that they didn't dare to speak, watching as Alexander walked in.
Strangely, Alexander was followed not only by Gavin but also by a woman.
The woman's expression was timid yet couldn't hide her excitement.
She was dressed exactly like Elizabeth had been two days ago when Elizabeth attended the parents' banquet here: a white tight turtleneck and a long orange leather skirt.
More interestingly, the clutch she was holding was the same one Elizabeth had left behind that day.
Many people didn't recognize this woman.
But Elizabeth immediately recognized her as Anouk.
At this moment, Anouk was following Alexander and Gavin, looking timid yet unable to conceal her excitement, making her look like a slave girl summoned by the king in ancient times.
No one knew how Anouk ended up following Alexander.
At this moment, she was so happy she felt like she was about to soar into the sky.
This morning, when Anouk went to drop off Daphne at kindergarten, she blocked Elizabeth at the entrance, intending to humiliate her. But Elizabeth took the bus and left, leaving Anouk fuming. She was then called in by Thalia for a scolding.
"Anouk, you need to transfer your child to another school!" Thalia said bluntly.
"Why? I've paid sponsorship fees to the kindergarten!" Anouk immediately retorted sharply.
Thalia replied in a calm yet cold tone, "Yes, your Smith Family donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to the kindergarten every year, but your behavior is too egregious and severely affects the kindergarten's reputation. To protect our kindergarten, your child must leave! This is non-negotiable!"
Anouk was unceremoniously kicked out by Thalia.
She went home fuming, and without a job or income, she had no status. Her husband scolded her, even heartlessly saying he wanted a divorce and telling her to get out in the end.
Anouk was extremely sad and scared.
At that moment, Molly called her and invited her to the banquet.
Anouk told Molly about the kindergarten situation, but Molly confidently assured her, "It's just a transfer issue. Leave it to me. I guarantee your daughter won't have to transfer, Thalia won't expel you, and your husband won't kick you out!"
Anouk immediately asked in surprise, "Miss Lavien, are you serious?"
"Come to the banquet. You might even have a chance to make a contribution," Molly said.
Anouk wiped her tears, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave. As she walked out the door, she suddenly remembered Elizabeth's simple outfit and the rough leather clutch she had carried two days ago. Elizabeth's simple attire had outshone all the other women adorned with jewels.
Anouk learned from Elizabeth that in a crowd of jewel-adorned noblewomen, dressing simply made people stand out.
With this in mind, Anouk went out, buying a similar simple outfit, grabbing Elizabeth's rough leather clutch, and heading to the banquet.
She was indeed lucky.
As soon as Anouk arrived at the hotel entrance, unsure of where to go, a male voice called out to her from behind, "Miss, are you here for Miss Lavien's banquet?"
"Yes, I am. And you are?" Anouk asked politely and humbly.
"My name is Gavin Brown, and this is my boss, the Windsor Group's CEO," Gavin introduced.
Anouk was stunned, almost dropping her clutch in shock.
At that moment, she finally understood why Molly dared to openly and blatantly ruin Elizabeth.
It turned out that Molly knew Alexander Windsor, and they were friends!
Anouk couldn't believe she had the fortune to meet Alexander in her lifetime.
She was so excited that her face turned red.
Moreover, she noticed that Alexander kept staring at her, at her clothes, and at her clutch.
Her heart felt like it was being fluttered by a thousand butterflies, making her feel ticklish.
"Miss, please," Gavin said politely.
In front of Alexander, Anouk didn't dare to walk ahead, letting them go first.
Alexander glanced at Anouk again, saying nothing, and walking into the banquet hall.
Anouk followed behind him, feeling both humble and elated.
As soon as she entered, she saw an exciting scene: Elizabeth was surrounded by a group of men.
Around them, many noblewomen glared at Elizabeth, wishing they could devour her alive.
This was going to be interesting.
Sure enough, when the noblewomen saw Alexander, the boldest one, the retired star Laura, spoke up, "Mr. Windsor, you're just in time. Look at Elizabeth. She never changes. She's been messing around with so many wealthy men in high society and even brought in those reporters outside. She's trying to throw all of Sunwillow City into chaos!"
Alexander looked at everyone present, then at the calm-faced Elizabeth.
He didn't respond to Laura but frequently glanced at Anouk, then suddenly asked Elizabeth, "Do you know her?"
Before Elizabeth could answer, Anouk eagerly tried to curry favor with Alexander, saying, "Mr. Windsor, Elizabeth is a liar, a homewrecker, and morally corrupt. She..."
Before Anouk could finish, Alexander casually said, "Gavin, chop off the hand holding her clutch."
