Chapter 29 Facing the Consequences
Elizabeth suddenly looked up at Alexander.
In Alexander's hand was her pregnancy test report, the first one she had taken. She had kept it in her bag, but Clara found it on the day she was kidnapped her.
Later, when Alexander rescued her, she thought the pregnancy test result was lost.
She never expected it to be in Alexander's hands.
"How do you have my pregnancy test result?" Elizabeth questioned. A sense of humiliation from having her most private matters exposed made Elizabeth's cheeks instantly flush.
She already felt humiliated enough in front of Alexander today.
He had forcibly kissed her in front of everyone.
Now he was waving her pregnancy test result in front of her, making Elizabeth want to find a hole to crawl into it and hide.
But Alexander's expression was cold, and Elizabeth's heart clenched.
She was somewhat afraid of him.
She had seen with her own eyes how he dealt with the kidnappers who had once taken her.
"Please give me back my pregnancy test result," Elizabeth pleaded whilefher curled eyelashes fulttered to hide her inner fear.
He grabbed her chin and lifted her up forcefully, asking, "Whose child is it?"
"What does it have to do with Mr. Windsor?" Elizabeth said with difficulty.
The shame and helplessness of that night were something she could never forget.
And the child in her belly was the result and continuation of that shame.
Yet she greedily wanted to keep this child.
Because in this world, she was too lonely .
The baby in her belly was her only blood relative.
But how could she, an unmarried woman who didn't even know who the father of her child was, announce to the world that she was pregnant?
This was her secret!
Alexander sneered, "It has nothing to do with me?"
Elizabeth forced herself to argue, "Haven't you always known? I was a delinquent girl. I went to jail in my sophomore year. My behavior was improper, so it's normal for me to get pregnant. I have no obligation to inform you, right?"
"Your behavior is promiscuous; I've already confirmed that!" Alexander said with disdain and contempt.
Before seeing this pregnancy test report, Alexander had almost believed that Elizabeth was the good girl Esme had described. But today, Gavin told him that Elizabeth had stooped so low as to kneel and shine Owen's shoes to please him.
How low could she be! How shameless!
"You speak so lightly!" Alexander used his right hand to choke her neck. He said accusingly, "First, you get pregnant with another man's child, then you please my mother, making her fond of you and unable to leave you. Then you want me to marry you, and after that, you seize the opportunity to come to The Windsor Manor, where guests are gathered, and my family is present, to publicly reveal this pregnancy test result?"
Elizabeth remained silent.
"To come here, you even had my mother summon Clara over to beat her up, ensuring Clara couldn't attend this banquet with me, all to successfully announced your pregnancy. Am I wrong? Your scheming is so deep that I almost got fooled by you a few days ago!"
At this moment, Elizabeth felt she couldn't defend herself.
She struggled to breathe, just wanting Alexander to let her go. Fortunately, Alexander soon released her neck and tore the test report in her hand to pieces.
"I don't care whose child you're carrying! Since you dared to come here, you must bear the consequences! If you think you can announce it here that you're carrying my child and make the entire Windsor family accept you, I won't let you!" with that said, Alexander turned and left.
Elizabeth squatted on the ground, crying for a long time.
It wasn't until someone called her that she came back to her senses.
Her phone was an old model from two years ago before she went to jail, with a screen so shattered it couldn't take pictures. That's why she had rented a camera.
However, she couldn't find the camera, and Alexander discovered her pregnancy.
With a heart full of anxiety, Elizabeth answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Elizabeth, where are you? You can't slack off. We all came to work as waiters together. How can you hide? Get out here immediately. All the guests have arrived, and you need to keep serving drinks and fruit plates!" It was the head waiter calling her.
"I'll be right there," Elizabeth replied as she quickly wiped her tears and returned to the banquet hall.
The Windsor family was hosting a gathering for the socialites of Aldoria, mainly to find a wife for Alexander.
These women were dressed extravagantly, dazzling people. Meanwhile, the host, Alexander, stood alone on the third-floor railing, looking down at the grand hall.
Alexander had no interest in these flamboyant women.
He was entirely against a business marriage and didn't like Marcus choosing a wife for him.
He only agreed because Marcus had pleaded with him, and he didn't want to embarrass Marcus.
The women in the living room were secretly jealous of each other while they chatted peacefully on the surface.
They whispered to each other from time to time.
Someone gossiped, "I heard Mr. Windsor kissed a female waiter in broad daylight?"
Somebody confirmed, "He just grabbed her and kissed her."
Another exclaimed, "That female waiter is so lucky!"
Someone else argued, "It was that female waiter shamelessly tried to please Mr. Windsor."
One asked, "And then? Mr. Windsor just grabbed her and kissed her?"
Someone chimed in, "Yes! From what I know of Mr. Windsor, he would do such a thing. He kissed that woman without any other intention, just with a cold face."
One of them remarked, "That female waiter is delusional. Does she think she can seduce Mr. Windsor and marry into a wealthy family?"
Another said angrily, "By doing this, Mr. Windsor kissing her in public makes it awkward for us socialites to talk to him. Isn't it like we don't care that Mr. Windsor kissed a female waiter in public? What does that make us?"
Another blamed, "It's all that female waiter's fault!"
Someone inquired, "Which waiter is it? Is she still here?"
One added, "Yes, I saw her. She's the particularly good-looking one. Does she think her looks can seduce Mr. Windsor? She won't even know how she dies!"
One of them urged, "Go and take a look." Some socialites were already walking towards Elizabeth.
Seeing that Alexander hadn't come down, they vented all their anger and jealousy on Elizabeth.
Someone tapped Elizabeth on the shoulder, and when she turned around, she bumped into the person's wine glass.
The glass shattered on the ground.
"What are you doing! I just wanted to ask for a glass of wine. Why are you so nervous? You spilled wine all over my shoes. Clean it up!" The woman, adorned with expensive jewelry, shouted arrogantly.
"Sorry," Elizabeth apologized, then squatted down and reached out to clean the woman's shoes.
Unexpectedly, the woman lifted her foot and stepped on Elizabeth's hand.
