Chapter 349 Unexpected
Declan scolded Elizabeth so harshly, but Elizabeth was not frightened.
She looked at Declan calmly, with an indescribable sadness in her tone, "So, Mr. Jones must have caught some fatal weakness of mine! Otherwise, you wouldn't be so aggressive, right?"
Declan said with a serious face, "This means you know that I have caught some weakness of yours, don't you?"
Elizabeth said, "I really don't know."
What weakness could she have?
Even if there was a weakness, it would just be another fabrication.
Elizabeth had been falsely accused and slandered so many times that she had already gotten used to it.
"Elizabeth! Your methods of seducing men are indeed brilliant! You have not only captured Owen's and Simon's hearts, but you also caused Samuel to go missing. These people aside, you even captured Alexander's heart. We were too careless back then."
"However, Elizabeth, no matter how flawless your actions are, there are still flaws! Although you captured Alexander's heart, I, Alexander's grandfather, and his parents, we all see you clearly! Elizabeth, you can't fool us!"
Declan spoke with righteous indignation.
It seemed as if he had endured Elizabeth for a long time and was finally exploding now.
Seeing Declan bullying Elizabeth unreasonably, Alice was so angry that she was panting heavily, hands on her hips, gritting her teeth, wishing she could tear Declan's nostrils apart right now.
As Alice stood with her hands on her hips, she suddenly had a bright idea.
She turned her head to look at Gavin, who was also anxious at this moment.
Having spent the past few months with Elizabeth and Alice, Gavin was very fond of Alice. In this large hall, with Declan confronting Elizabeth like this, Gavin was afraid Alice would be psychologically affected.
However, from the way Alice was rolling her eyes, it was obvious she wasn't scared at all.
"Gavin." Alice blinked at Gavin.
"Miss Windsor, let's go out and play." Gavin immediately said.
Anyway, he had already handed Julia over to Simon. In this hall, with Alexander around, no one would dare to touch them. Gavin was very assured.
Alice put her hand in Gavin's, and they quietly left the hall.
As they were leaving, Gavin heard Elizabeth's indifferent voice, "Alright, then please show the evidence. What have I deceived you about?"
"You want evidence?" An elderly but loud voice suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked in unison at Marcus, who had not spoken until now.
Marcus sat in the center of the hall. Despite the chaos, he had not spoken.
In the past, Amara would also appear at major family events, but this time, only Marcus was present.
Marcus looked at Elizabeth with a stern expression and asked word by word, "Since you want evidence, let me ask you first, do you love Alexander?"
Elizabeth was silent.
How should she answer?
Six years ago, when she hadn't seen his face and only had that one-night stand with him, she couldn't forget her first man. But at that time, she thought he was dead. So she forced herself to remove that dead man from her heart. Later, during the months she spent with Alexander, the reason she had a good impression of him was that she always felt he resembled that one-night-stand man who had died.
Later, she fell in love with him.
But he hurt her, and she became a single mother for six years, constantly on the run.
After being captured by him again, she really didn't dare to love him.
Her heart was sealed, and she thought she could never love anyone again. She couldn't bear any more hurt.
However, just a few days ago, she fell in love with Alexander again.
She had to admit that she loved Alexander.
"I love him!" Elizabeth said firmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Alexander looked deeply at Elizabeth.
"Since you love him, why did you sell the priceless bracelet his mother gave you?" Marcus questioned forcefully.
The bracelet on Esme's hand was also a Windsor Family heirloom.
The Windsor Family felt they owed Esme back then, so they gave her that bracelet.
Esme truly saw Elizabeth as her daughter-in-law, willing to give such a precious item to her.
However, did Elizabeth cherish it?
If it was true love, where was the bracelet?
"Bracelet?" Elizabeth said coldly, "That was a gift from my husband's mother, and it belongs to me now. You seem to have no right to question it, do you?"
"Esme's gift to you is not my concern, but the Windsor Family's heirloom, where did you put it?" Marcus shouted!
Elizabeth was silent.
"Speak!" Marcus shouted even louder!
Elizabeth bit her lip, not wanting to say unless absolutely necessary.
"You can't say it?" Felix also questioned, "The Windsor Family's crystal is not something you can buy back with millions of dollars. When you got that crystal, you must have had a plan, right? Your plan was to get as much money as possible from Alexander. If you couldn't get money, at least that crystal would be a big asset for you, right?
"Elizabeth, at this point, do you still dare to say you have no ulterior motives? That you didn't come for Alexander's money? Then tell me where the bracelet Esme gave you is. And where is our heirloom crystal?"
As soon as Felix finished speaking, Declan immediately followed, "Elizabeth, do you think we would expose your intentions here without solid evidence? Do you think Alexander would allow us to punish you here without solid evidence? Do you think we gathered here with such effort, only to let you off easily like Molly did?
"Let me make it clear to you. Don't tell us that you stored the bracelet and the Windsor Family's heirloom in the bank for safekeeping. We can check all your bank transactions. You didn't store them! Tell us who you sell those treasures to?"
At this point, Elizabeth's tears started to flow.
She choked up, looking at them, and asked hoarsely, "Did you check one place?"
Declan immediately asked, "What place!"
"The cemetery... Esme's cemetery... did you check it?" Elizabeth asked in a sorrowful tone.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Alexander looked at Elizabeth in disbelief, saying, "That bracelet..."
