Chapter 93 Elizabeth's Resolve
Elizabeth glanced up and saw Alexander. She sneered, "Mr. Windsor, wasn't it your bright idea to drag me to The Windsor Manor?"
Alexander went quiet. He thought Elizabeth was truly fool! Sure, he had Gavin bring her here, but not so she could pull a stunt like this!
Since the meeting wrapped up yesterday, he'd been dealing with that video mess all night. It took him until an hour ago to finally clean up all those ten thousand video sources!
He personally oversaw each one, making sure there were no slip-ups.
After sorting out the video issue, he didn't even take a breather before driving to the Windsor Manor. As soon as he got there, before even stepping inside, he saw Elizabeth stabbing herself with a dagger.
She really had no fear of death!
Alexander let go of Elizabeth and said coldly, "I brought you here to sort things out, not to pull a suicide stunt. Are you trying to blackmail the Windsor family? Do you think that'll work?"
Elizabeth stayed silent.
Gavin stayed silent too.
He noticed that ever since Alexander met Elizabeth, he talked way more than before. Alexander used to barely say ten words in a day, but now, he said more in three minutes than he used to in a whole day.
And how did Alexander get so sharp-tongued?
It seemed like he only had this sharp tongue for Elizabeth. With everyone else, Alexander stayed indifferent and calm.
Alexander glanced at the elders and guests around and said with no expression, "I've brought Elizabeth here. If you have grievances, address them, but I don't want any drama at The Windsor Manor! Otherwise, people will say the Windsor family bullies a weak woman, and my reputation will take a hit!"
By saying this, Alexander was even disregarding Marcus's face!
But Marcus was definitely scared of Alexander.
Marcus didn't dare say anything more, and naturally, neither did anyone else.
Alexander handed the dagger in Elizabeth's hand to Gavin, then grabbed Elizabeth's wrist to check if she had cut herself, his face serious.
Elizabeth felt a pang in her heart.
But she kept a cold exterior.
At that moment, Clara, sitting next to Marcus, suddenly screamed.
Alexander immediately looked at Clara.
Clara's face was twisted in pain. "My... my lower abdomen hurts a bit, Grandpa. I'm pregnant now, and it's really not good for me to watch such self-harming scenes. Grandpa, I don't need Elizabeth to apologize to me. I just want my baby to be safe. Grandpa, I'm going back."
Clara's obedient demeanor really pleased Marcus.
Marcus nodded and replied, "Alright."
Clara got up and walked to Alexander's side. "Alexander, I... ouch."
As she spoke, she leaned against Alexander.
Alexander casually held Clara. "Where does it hurt? Why does it hurt? You should be resting at home, why did you come out!"
Clara looked up, her voice weak as she gazed at Alexander. "Alexander, it's okay. The doctor said the baby is stable. As for my abdominal pain, sometimes it's just discomfort from the baby growing. I'm fine. I won't delay your business. I'm going back, Alexander. I'm a bit dizzy."
She kept leaning against Alexander.
Clara's weak act made Elizabeth sneer.
Alexander gently helped Clara sit down on a chair, speaking softly, "You sit here for now. There won't be any more drama. Once I'm done here, I'll take you back."
Clara smiled sweetly and replied, "Okay, Alexander, I'll listen to you."
After saying that, she shot a deliberate glance at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth felt a wave of sadness.
Maybe Alexander didn't love Clara, but Clara had his child. That was a bond they couldn't break, and no one else could interfere. Watching Alexander pamper Clara, Elizabeth felt like a joke.
A complete joke.
Both were expectant mothers, yet her fate was so different from Clara's.
Elizabeth raised her chin, looking proudly at everyone present, and slowly said, "Since Alexander is here, let's clear things up today. First, I never seduced him! It was Alexander who came to me because I had a good relationship with his mother. Alexander sought me out to give his mother some comfort in her final days. We signed a contract. But that was to deceive Aunt Esme."
"Now that Aunt Esme has passed away, I'll say this in front of all of you. Listen carefully! I will never covet a single dollar from Aunt Esme. My relationship with Aunt Esme was genuine friendship, it was family. She treated me like a daughter, and I treated her like a mother!"
"My bond with Aunt Esme has nothing to do with Alexander! Even if I were to die of poverty or hunger, I would never take money that disrespects the bond between Aunt Esme and me! Alexander, do you understand?"
Alexander stayed silent.
Elizabeth looked at Alexander with great disdain. "Alexander, I took care of Aunt Esme not because of the contract you signed with me, and I will never want the money from that contract! Because I considered Aunt Esme my family! As for you, if it weren't for Aunt Esme, I wouldn't even know you! From now on, I have nothing to do with you!"
Elizabeth's words were full of pride.
They left Gavin shocked and Alexander speechless.
No one else dared to speak either.
Elizabeth then looked at Owen's mother, Sarah Torres, and said, "Mrs. Tudor, as for Owen, I never loved him! He kept bothering me, and I agreed to interact with him out of gratitude because I thought he was the only bit of warmth in my life, and I cherished it. But he shattered that bit of warmth himself. I saved his life, and I never expected anything in return from your family. But accusing me of seducing Owen is wrong! If you don't want your son to interact with me, then control your own son!"
Sarah stayed silent.
"And all of you!" Elizabeth looked at everyone present and sneered, "Do you think your noble heirs are so precious? To me, they are nothing! I will never set foot in this city again! I will never have anything to do with anyone in this city! Do you see this phone?"
Elizabeth raised her phone and shook it. "I have Owen, Samuel, and Simon's contact information in here. I'm going to smash it right in front of you now!"
With that, there was a loud crash.
She smashed the phone to pieces on the ground.
