Chapter 280 Dragged Out to Feed the Dogs
The shout of "Mrs. Windsor" practically dropped everyone's jaws, especially Molly.
She nervously looked at Elizabeth and Alexander.
Behind Molly, a group of socialites were already trembling with fear. Many wanted to flee, but no one dared to, not even daring to speak.
They just stiffly watched Anouk kneeling at Elizabeth's feet, begging her.
Elizabeth said coldly, "Anouk, you're begging the wrong person."
Seeing Anouk clinging to her leg, she felt disgusted.
She wanted to quickly pull her leg back, but Anouk was holding on too tightly. It was Alexander who quickly lifted Elizabeth by the waist, freeing her from Anouk's grip.
"In just two days, you've become so light?" Alexander asked.
Elizabeth remained silent.
Behind them, Gavin unkindly complained to Alexander inwardly, 'Mr. Windsor, are you trying to show off your affection to all the women in the banquet hall? You might not know that these women are all jealous of Mrs. Windsor and have been plotting against her.'
Gavin only dared to complain in his heart, not out loud.
"Put me down," Elizabeth said, her face flushed.
At that moment, she didn't even know how Alexander had suddenly returned. He hadn't interacted with Molly at all but came straight to find her.
Elizabeth didn't know how to respond to Alexander.
"Should we spare her life?" Alexander asked Elizabeth again. He knew Elizabeth was soft-hearted. She always handled matters concerning who Alice's friends were in kindergarten and how Alice felt there. Alexander also understood that deep down, Elizabeth didn't want a five-year-old child to lose her mother.
Sure enough, Elizabeth nodded.
"Spare her!" Alexander said.
Gavin kicked Anouk. "Get lost!"
Anouk immediately expressed her gratitude to Elizabeth, "Thank you, Mrs. Windsor. Thank you. It was all my fault before. I won't dare to do it again. Thank you for sparing my life!"
After saying that, Anouk offered the crocodile skin bag to Elizabeth with both hands. "Mrs. Windsor, your bag."
Elizabeth said, "I don't want it!"
Elizabeth had no concept of luxury goods.
She had just casually matched this bag with her outfit, not expecting greedy Anouk to covet it. Anouk even brought this bag to the banquet hall to insult her. Seeing Anouk dressed exactly like she was two days ago, holding her handbag, Elizabeth felt nothing but disgust, so she didn't want the bag at all.
She was very disgusted with Anouk. The only reason she spared her was because of Anouk's daughter, Daphne. A five-year-old child shouldn't lose her mother's love.
Elizabeth pushed the bag back towards Anouk, who was stunned.
A bag worth as much as jewelry and diamonds, but Elizabeth just said she didn't want it.
What stunned Anouk and the other socialites even more was that Alexander immediately followed up with, "Gavin, throw this bag away."
Gavin remained silent.
Alexander looked at Elizabeth and scolded her, "Next time, I'll custom-make another one for you, but you have to keep it safe. Don't lose it again. Understand?"
Elizabeth didn't know what Alexander was trying to do or why he was being so gentle.
After being attacked by Molly, all she could do was freeze her heart again.
She stood quietly, expressionless, and isolated.
She and Alexander—she was the target of everyone's attacks in this banquet hall, while Alexander was the most distinguished man in Sunwillow City.
However, no matter how the people present looked at it, they could see that the most distinguished man in Sunwillow City, Alexander, was trying various ways to please the woman who was being attacked by everyone and ridiculed online, Elizabeth.
But Elizabeth, this woman, remained unmoved and indifferent.
This contrast made the socialites so frustrated they wanted to vomit blood.
What had they just called Elizabeth?
A whore? A homewrecker? A bitch?
They had called her all sorts of nasty names.
At this moment, several socialites' legs were so weak they could barely stand, some even collapsing onto the floor.
Among them, the one with the strongest reaction was Linda.
Linda wasn't a socialite; she had come to help these socialites beat up Elizabeth.
And just three days ago, she had hit Elizabeth with a shoe.
At this moment, Linda seemed to realize her fate, already paralyzed with fear on the ground.
"Gavin!" Alexander suddenly shouted.
"Mr. Windsor, here!" Gavin answered.
"Drag this woman paralyzed on the ground up!" Alexander ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Windsor!" Gavin immediately grabbed Linda by the hair and shouted, "Stop playing dead! Get up!"
Linda was forcibly dragged up and brought before Alexander.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Windsor. I didn't know Elizabeth was your wife. I..." Linda was so frightened she didn't know how to explain.
Alexander's tone was very casual. "So because you didn't know who Elizabeth was, you could hit her with a shoe in front of everyone? Almost disfiguring her? So, if the person you hit wasn't my wife, you wouldn't feel any guilt? Do you think your family's power is so great that you can disfigure anyone you want?"
Linda remained silent.
Alexander said coldly, "Or do you think my wife's credentials are fake, her resume is fake, so you wanted to take the law into your own hands and punish this 'fraud' with a shoe? Even though she used her extensive work experience to help you solve difficult problems, you still think she's a fraud? And she clearly didn't extort $100,000 from you, yet you insisted she did. What do you say to that? You're a fraud too! Right?"
Linda remained silent.
Alexander asked, "Let me tell you, my wife's resume and credentials were all arranged by me. If I say she studied at a prestigious architectural university abroad, then she did! What, do you think I'm a fraud too?"
"No, Mr. Windsor, I wouldn't dare. I'm sorry, Mr. Windsor. It was my fault. Please spare me this time? I'm begging you?" Linda kept begging Alexander.
Alexander looked up at Elizabeth.
To spare or not to spare, he listened to his wife.
Everyone present could see that the usually cold and ruthless King of Sunwillow City listened very much to his wife, Elizabeth.
Linda saw this too.
She immediately turned and pleaded with Elizabeth, "Mrs. Windsor, please spare me, I'm begging you."
Elizabeth immediately hid behind Alexander.
"Sorry, your matter has nothing to do with me. You don't need to beg me," Elizabeth said calmly.
She had no obligation to plead for anyone.
She didn't even know her own fate, so how could she help anyone else?
Moreover, Linda had almost disfigured half of her face.
"Drag her out and feed her to the dogs!" Alexander ordered.
