Chapter 231
Esme was about to pull out her phone when she saw Elizabeth's phone already showing the news.
She grabbed Elizabeth's phone and pointed at the screen. "Did you do this? Elizabeth, you're so awful! How long has it been since the saffron incident? Why bring it up again? Is it because Alexander's divorcing you that you're taking it out on the Russell family?"
Elizabeth glanced at Esme, realizing why she was so mad.
Esme thought Elizabeth leaked the news.
Elizabeth stood up, and Esme tried to push her again.
Elizabeth swatted Esme's hand away, making Esme stumble back a few steps.
Esme frowned and glared at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth calmly adjusted her clothes, smoothed her hair, and looked at Esme. "It wasn't me."
"Stop pretending! Elizabeth, you always act so superior, but you're the most despicable and shameless!" Esme pointed at Elizabeth, her eyes red with anger.
The fake saffron incident had made the Russell family a public target.
The real issue wasn't just the family's image but the turmoil in the Russell Group's stock!
"I said it wasn't me. Esme, stop going crazy in my room!" Elizabeth was losing her patience. "Get out of here!"
"Elizabeth, I want you to hold a press conference right now and admit you spread this news. Apologize to the Russell family!" Esme grabbed Elizabeth's arm, her face full of hatred.
Esme wanted to ruin Elizabeth's reputation and make her leave Alexander for good!
"First, I didn't do it. Second, even if I did, everything online is true. Why should I apologize for the truth?" Elizabeth pushed Esme away, finding her more annoying by the second.
Elizabeth thought, 'Isn't Esme supposed to faint at the slightest touch? Why does she seem so healthy here?'
"Elizabeth, you dare not admit what you've done!" Esme gritted her teeth.
Elizabeth threw her hospital gown onto the bed.
She glanced at Esme, her voice cold, "And what about you?"
Esme was taken aback.
"Ms. Russell, do you dare to admit what you've done?" Elizabeth squinted, stepping closer to Esme. "You impersonated me to get into medical school. Ms. Russell, do you dare to tell the whole world?"
Esme's face froze, and she swallowed hard, frowning. "Elizabeth."
"And, Ms. Russell, you claimed to be seriously ill and saw ghosts the day before yesterday." Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh.
Esme watched as Elizabeth's smile turned into a cold sneer.
"Do you dare to admit you secretly hired someone to kidnap me and try to drown me?" Elizabeth grabbed Esme's collar, her voice chilling like a demon from hell.
Esme's eyes instantly filled with fear. She thought, 'How does Elizabeth know I hired someone to kidnap her?'
"Esme, I'm not easy to bully. Don't mistake my patience for weakness, okay?" Elizabeth lightly patted Esme's cheek with the back of her hand.
Esme choked, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.
Elizabeth smirked, picked up a thin shirt, and put it on. She was ready to be discharged.
Before leaving, she told Esme, "If you want to drag me to hell, I won't let you live alone."
With that, Elizabeth left.
Elizabeth needed to report to Amanda in the cardiology department; she had taken too many leaves this month.
Esme stood there, watching Elizabeth walk away. She raised her hand to touch the cheek Elizabeth had patted, a glint of danger and hatred flashing in her eyes.
"Elizabeth! We're not done yet. Where do you think you're going?" She chased after Elizabeth.
