Chapter 329 The First Glimpse into His Heart
Elizabeth, Harper, and Julia all turned around and saw Clara, who was strutting arrogantly with a fierce expression.
"You still dare to come?" Elizabeth asked calmly.
Clara seemed to have completely forgotten how she had once begged Elizabeth here, utterly humiliated and without dignity. At this moment, she had reverted to her extremely arrogant and overbearing self.
"Elizabeth!" she shouted condescendingly. "Since I dared to come here today, I came prepared. I don't do things I'm not confident about."
Elizabeth remained calm and composed. "What do you mean? What do you want to do?"
She had already made up her mind. If Clara tried to make a move today, she would fight back fiercely, even if it meant biting Clara to death. In the past, she hated the Guise Family for making her go to prison, for not letting her see her mother one last time, and for other matters related to Oliver.
But just yesterday, Elizabeth had guessed that during her six years of exile, it was them who had been hunting her down, even impersonating Alexander. Such despicable and malicious tactics made her want to kill Clara on the spot.
The reason she hadn't gone to the Guise Mansion to confront them was because she was calm enough.
She knew it wasn't the right time yet.
She wanted to visit her hometown first to check on her mother's situation. However, she hadn't expected Clara to come looking for her again.
As soon as Elizabeth finished speaking, Julia chimed in, "Clara, I find you to be incredibly stupid. As Declan's granddaughter, don't you have any self-respect? Just ten days ago, you walked out of the company like a disgraced woman, calling yourself a homewrecker and shameless. How could you forget that in just ten days? You really are a rare kind of stupid."
Julia had a sharp tongue and could insult Clara even better than Elizabeth.
Hearing Julia's words, Elizabeth couldn't help but smile to herself.
She suddenly remembered what Alexander had told her yesterday, that having close friends could be helpful in times of trouble.
Just like now, Julia was proving to be helpful.
In a situation like this, arguing with a woman like Clara, Julia was more effective than Gavin. Although Gavin was skilled, as a man, how could he argue with an unreasonable shrew like Clara?
But Julia was different.
After insulting Clara, Julia could still smile and look at Clara with arched eyebrows.
Clara was so enraged that she raised her hand to hit Elizabeth.
But before she could, her arm was grabbed by Harper.
Harper's grip on Clara's hand was like an iron clamp, causing her to scream in pain.
At that moment, Harper looked like an enraged lion, glaring at Clara. "You bitch, listen to me! Although Elodie is also a socialite, I'm nothing like her! When she was enjoying life, I was doing all the hard work for her. So I've built up a lot of strength. Do you understand, bitch? I'm stronger than a man! If you dare to hit Elizabeth, I'll beat you to death first!"
"Who would have thought Harper was so fierce?" Robert said with a grin from behind.
Hearing Robert's voice, everyone turned around abruptly.
They saw Robert approaching slowly, looking like he was enjoying the show.
He even had his hands casually in his pockets.
Elizabeth couldn't help but say to Robert in exasperation, "Mr. Lavien, other presidents would be very unhappy to see such things happening in their company. But you, you seem to be enjoying it. Why?"
Elizabeth was genuinely puzzled.
She personally disliked having conflicts with people at work.
After all, the company was a place for work.
But Clara kept coming to trouble her.
At this moment, Robert suddenly leaned close to Elizabeth's ear and whispered, "Elizabeth, you're really blaming me unfairly. Haven't you considered that all of this is because of you? To be honest, Elizabeth, before you came to this company, there were hardly any frequent arguments here, except for Harper being a bit bossy. But since you arrived, things have changed. Elizabeth, this just means you're prone to attracting trouble."
Elizabeth fell silent.
Robert immediately laughed again. "Elizabeth, I mean it as a compliment. I'm saying that those dirty and evil people are jealous of you, so they keep coming to trouble you."
"Robert, who are you calling dirty and evil?" Clara asked fiercely.
"I'm talking about you!" Robert turned around sharply, looking at Clara with a cold gaze. Then he put his arm around Harper and continued, "Harper, as long as I'm here, you can go ahead and beat this woman! It would be best if you could ruin her face."
Harper immediately backed down. "I don't dare. I'm not that ruthless. I just couldn't stand seeing her bully Elizabeth. As long as she doesn't bully Elizabeth, I won't hit her."
Seeing Harper so timid, Clara became even more relentless. "Hit me? Let's see if you have the guts. Even if I give you the chance, you wouldn't dare! Harper, who do you think you are? Even your cousin Elodie is just a lowly woman in front of me, let alone you!"
"You!" Harper was so angry that she raised her hand, really wanting to scratch Clara's face.
But halfway through raising her hand, she lowered it again.
She couldn't hit Clara without a good reason.
If she did, she would really be asking for trouble.
Seeing Harper so cowardly, Clara laughed even more arrogantly. "I knew it. In this Simon Construction Company, no one dares to hit me. The last time I was so submissive and walked out of here like a disgraced woman, it was because I was acting. I wanted it to be realistic. But this time, I don't need to act. I just came to tell Elizabeth that my fiancé Alexander is about to host a family gathering at The Windsor Manor for me. For this, my fiancé Alexander even ordered a whole set of high-end dresses for me from Chanel. My dress is adorned with diamonds and brooches, worth millions of dollars, something you poor people have never seen!"
Hearing Clara say this, Elizabeth was momentarily stunned.
Then she couldn't help but laugh and ask Clara, "Clara, what did you just say? A dress? Chanel?"
Clara looked at Elizabeth disdainfully. "Yes! Is that funny? Or are you so shocked that you've gone mad and can only laugh?"
Elizabeth laughed even more happily. "I'm just laughing at how stupid you are."
