Chapter 200
The next day.
It was foggy outside. Elizabeth woke up to her phone ringing.
She saw it was Felix calling and ignored it. He never had anything important to say.
But he called again, so she answered, still half-asleep. "What's up?"
Felix, sounding amused, said, "Still in bed? You're famous."
Elizabeth was confused. "What?"
"Check the news," Felix said and hung up.
Elizabeth yawned, turned on her phone, and saw a flood of messages.
Her name was in the headlines.
#Last night, Elizabeth and Joseph spotted at Music Fountain Park! Sweet and romantic!#
#Elizabeth's marriage status questioned! Seen with Joseph at dinner and visiting Bryan.#
Elizabeth smirked and read the comments.
User A: [So she really divorced Alexander? Already with someone new?]
User B: [Elizabeth and Joseph look good together!]
User C: [Alexander got dumped? Good.]
User A replied to C: [Shouldn't it be Elizabeth who got dumped?]
User C replied to A: [No way. Elizabeth dumped Alexander. He cheated!]
Elizabeth squinted. User C's sharp tone sounded like one of her friends.
She checked the profile and saw the IP was from Lisbun. Definitely someone she knew.
She messaged Lila on WeChat: [Got time to argue with netizens, huh?]
Lila: [Just setting the record straight. You dumped Alexander!]
Elizabeth: [Focus on your acting!]
Lila: [It doesn't interfere!]
Meanwhile, Elizabeth's phone kept ringing.
Lily called again. Elizabeth answered with a smirk.
"Elizabeth!" Lily sounded worried.
"What's going on with you and Joseph? Just friends, right?" Lily asked.
Elizabeth didn't want to lie. "Grandma, I..."
"Elizabeth, I know you felt wronged marrying Alexander. Can we talk?" Lily said.
She knew Elizabeth had tried to divorce Alexander many times.
Last time in court, if not for her subordinates, Elizabeth would have divorced him!
"Grandma, let's not meet," Elizabeth said, fearing she'd soften.
The Tudor family had treated her well, but her marriage with Alexander was over.
"Grandma, let me divorce Alexander, please," Elizabeth pleaded.
Lily was silent.
"This marriage is pointless. I feel like a resentful woman, always waiting for him. He deserves to be free, and I need my dignity," Elizabeth said softly.
Lily felt a pang of discomfort.
