Chapter 302
Everyone turned to Elizabeth, waiting for her to spill the beans.
Especially Alexander, his eyes were practically burning holes into her.
Elizabeth glanced around the office, feeling a bit lost for words.
She thought, 'Should I just say I'm not useless and I gave the spot to Esme?'
"Come on, speak up! Esme treated you like crap. What are you waiting for?" Mark snapped at Elizabeth, his glare intense. "Why are you being so overly nice? Does Esme even care? She took your spot, your man, and keeps coming after you! Elizabeth, are you a doormat?" Mark almost had Elizabeth backed into a corner.
Alexander kept his eyes locked on Elizabeth, his hand slowly clenching into a fist.
He was waiting for her to say yes.
"Elizabeth, if you got something to say, just say it," Nick said calmly. They all had faith in Elizabeth.
Elizabeth looked at Alexander and smiled. "If I say it, will you blame me for hurting your first love?"
For a moment, Alexander was speechless.
Elizabeth looked him in the eyes and said, "Yeah, that's right, I gave the spot to Esme."
No matter if Alexander would blame her, Elizabeth was done with holding back.
Mark was right; she had put up with enough over the years, hadn't she?
What did she get in return for all her patience?
Alexander's face showed a flicker of shock. He frowned, clearly in disbelief.
"Back then, I got into Lisbun Medical School, but I was tight with Esme. She wanted to go too but couldn't get in. I felt bad and gave her my spot. The dean didn't want me to miss out, so he let both of us in under a two-for-one deal."
Elizabeth was the one who got in, and Esme just tagged along.
Mark was spot on. Elizabeth wondered, 'How does he know?'
The office was dead silent.
Elizabeth had always thought she'd have to clear her name someday, but she didn't expect it to be in the hospital office.
Alexander's throat moved, his voice dry, "Why didn't you say it before?"
"Say what? That Esme got into the medical school because I brought her in?" Elizabeth looked at Alexander and chuckled. "You never asked, so what was I supposed to say? Besides..."
Elizabeth suddenly paused.
Alexander stared straight at her.
Elizabeth smiled. "If I said it, would you have believed me?"
Later, Esme would act all sweet and say Elizabeth was the useless one. Alexander would believe Esme in a heartbeat, wouldn't he?
Alexander suddenly choked up.
The vibe in the office was a bit off.
Amanda and Nick exchanged a look and then glanced at Elizabeth.
So, Elizabeth had been through a lot over the years, huh?
Nick thought about Elizabeth's medical skills and felt pissed that she was called useless.
Elizabeth was the real deal. She was so capable, yet she put up with all that crap.
They all lost.
Elizabeth was on a whole different level.
"The truth is finally out," Mark suddenly laughed.
Elizabeth looked at Mark again.
Mark stood in front of Elizabeth, shaking his head. "Elizabeth, being good to others only works if they remember and appreciate it."
Elizabeth frowned.
Mark laughed and then started to cry.
He really despised these rich folks!
