Chapter 230
"Don't call me, you creep!" Elizabeth snapped.
One moment was tender, the next was pure rage.
Alexander clutched his shirt and sneered. 'Creep?'
Such harsh words fit Elizabeth's arrogant personality perfectly!
"Go see your Esme and marry her. I wish you both the best!" Elizabeth grabbed an apple from the bedside table and hurled it at Alexander. "Get out now!"
The longer he stayed, the more disgusted she felt!
Sure, Esme's life mattered, but didn't hers?
Alexander even said she and Esme were different. Well, they were; her life was way more valuable than Esme's!
Alexander was left speechless. He glared at Elizabeth and muttered, "Unreasonable!"
Then he stormed out without looking back.
Elizabeth gripped the blanket tightly as the door slammed shut.
The room fell silent.
Elizabeth couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell onto her hand.
Morning came.
Elizabeth, sleepless all night, went for a run at six. When she got back, everyone was glued to the news.
"Who dug up the saffron incident from so long ago?"
"Look at these headlines, all slamming Esme. Must be her rival. Who do you think it is?"
"Everyone knows Esme likes Alexander. But Alexander is Elizabeth's husband. Think Elizabeth leaked it?"
Elizabeth walked by and, hearing her name, coldly said, "It wasn't me."
She quickly went to her room.
On her phone, she saw the Russell family giving fake saffron at Lily's birthday party had gone viral, like it was planned.
Major media outlets posted Esme's photos, condemning her for the fake saffron!
#At Mrs. Tudor's birthday party, the Russell Group gave fake saffron. Are they insulting Mrs. Tudor?#
#On Lily's birthday, Esme gave fake saffron, and Lily was furious!#
#Esme's saffron was fake! What's the Russell family's intention?#
Esme and the Russell family were instantly under fire from netizens.
Netizen A: [This finally blew up? The Russell family really tried to bury it!]
Netizen B: [Esme gave fake saffron claiming it was real. What a joke!]
Netizen C: [Elizabeth gave the real saffron. She's from the Percy family! Here's what real saffron looks like, with pics!]
Netizen D: [The Russell family is so powerful, and Esme is close with Alexander, yet they gave fake saffron. Disrespectful to the Tudor family! They deserve the backlash!]
Elizabeth frowned at the news. How did this blow up after so many days?
While she was still puzzled, her door burst open.
Esme stormed in, coat hanging off one shoulder. She shoved Elizabeth onto the bed.
"Elizabeth, do you want to die?" she growled, grabbing Elizabeth's collar, eyes blazing.
Elizabeth frowned, confused. "What are you talking about?"
"You don't know?" Esme's voice was sharp.
