Chapter 281 Another One Eliminated
"No, don't let me die, no!" Linda pleaded, wetting her pants in fear.
She couldn't care about anything else now, just desperately begging Elizabeth, her head bleeding from the effort, "Mrs. Windsor, you just pleaded for that woman who took your handbag. Why can't you plead for me? We didn't have much of a grudge, Mrs. Windsor, you have such a kind heart. You were willing to help me with that huge construction mistake and even waived my hundred-thousand-dollar fee. Why can't you save my life now?"
"Yeah!" Owen sneered, "So you always knew she was kind-hearted and soft, knowing she had no grudge against you, yet you repeatedly insulted and framed her, hitting her face with those hard shoe soles. Linda, how could you even think of that!"
"Elizabeth, don't forgive her!" Simon added from the side.
Linda cried in despair, "Mr. Jones?"
Simon no longer looked at Linda.
The video of Elizabeth being slapped by Linda had just been shown to Simon by the company's HR department.
The beating was brutal.
With Linda's strength and anger, hitting Elizabeth's face less than five times would have ruined it beyond repair.
Seeing even Simon wished her dead, Linda turned her pleading eyes to Molly.
Before Alexander arrived, Molly was the symbol of supreme authority here. Even Owen, Simon, and Robert combined couldn't intimidate her. But at this moment, when Linda looked at her, her eyes had already avoided Linda's.
Molly was holding onto the table with one hand, the other hand behind her back, doing something unknown.
Her face had turned red with fear, having no mind to care for others.
Linda was dragged out by Gavin in utter despair. Even as she was taken far away, she kept shouting, "Mrs. Windsor, please spare me."
Elizabeth's expression remained unchanged.
She was not a savior.
She couldn't save anyone.
Maybe every time she saved someone, Alexander would count it against her.
What did it have to do with her?
She never harmed anyone. Wherever she went, she wanted to get along well with people, make friends, and have pleasant conversations.
But the world was so unfair to her.
She couldn't even control her own life, let alone save others.
Linda's screams finally faded away. No one knew where Gavin would throw her to feed the dogs. Given Alexander's ruthless style over the past six years, Linda certainly wouldn't survive.
This conclusion terrified the socialites present and the reporters at the door.
Some socialites were already crying in fear, all turning their pleading eyes to Molly.
To be clear, this whole sinister party was organized by Molly, so she should be responsible. But at this moment, she couldn't care for anyone. Her face was pale, and she kept her head down, constantly sending and receiving messages on her phone. She had no mind to care for anyone.
Meanwhile, after sending Linda away, Alexander fixed his gaze on Laura who immediately fell to the ground.
She regretted it so much! She had a bright future, but her vanity got the better of her, she was coaxed by Katherine into joining a small gathering with Katherine's husband. She always felt superior as an international movie star and wanted to belittle Elizabeth, who claimed to be a bar girl.
So what if Elizabeth was a bar girl?
So what if Laura was an international movie star?
They were all equal people. She was just being foolish, and no one could save her.
Moreover, Alexander had already spared her once. Despite her insulting his wife Elizabeth, he didn't take her life but merely punished her with ninety glasses of wine and made her retire from acting.
But why did Laura act foolishly again today?
She always had a grudge, feeling that Elizabeth was beneath her and should be trampled underfoot.
Laura didn't know that Elizabeth was the one who lived simply and transparently, without competing with anyone.
She wasn't beneath Laura, but she just didn't care to show off or compete with anyone.
Alexander didn't even look at Laura, just holding Elizabeth with one arm and gently placing his hand on her nose.
He was shielding Elizabeth from the smell.
Even now, he clearly remembered that Elizabeth couldn't stand the pungent perfume Laura wore, and today Laura's perfume was stronger than ever.
Elizabeth indeed frowned.
She really couldn't stand it. Her nasal passages felt itchy.
Unable to hold it in, she sneezed, spraying all over Alexander's face.
Gavin, who had just returned from outside, saw this and immediately thought that Alexander, even in his casual killing behavior, could have such a cute side.
This was Elizabeth sneezing all over Alexander's face.
If it were anyone else, would they still have their life?
Yet, Alexander treated Elizabeth's sneeze like a treasure, taking out a handkerchief from his suit pocket but reluctant to wipe it off.
Gavin and the other people present all were stunned.
At this moment, the reporters didn't know that their media companies had been urging them a million times to quickly upload the latest updates about Elizabeth. Because the entire internet was waiting.
But at this moment, how could they report?
Not to mention reporting, every reporter present was calculating whether they could leave alive.
No one knew their fate in the next second.
Everyone focused their attention on Laura, watching how Alexander would deal with her. The reporters and socialites vaguely remembered how Laura had just insulted Elizabeth.
Laura herself knew even better how she had insulted Elizabeth.
So, at this moment, she no longer pleaded, just saying to Elizabeth with a face like ashes, "I'm sorry."
Elizabeth calmly said, "If all harm could be smoothed over with an apology, could I kill your entire family and then say I'm sorry? Laura, I never knew what I did to offend you. I don't even know you."
This was the most Elizabeth had spoken at this party.
The last time she saw Laura, who, without knowing her, had asked her to carry her shoes.
And this time, they had no grudge, yet Laura came looking for trouble.
Was Elizabeth that hateful?
"Forgive her or not?" Alexander asked for Elizabeth's opinion again.
"I don't know her!" Elizabeth said calmly.
"Send her to a foreign mine with no women. Until death." Alexander said lightly.
