Chapter 922
The villa quieted down.
Alexander's phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Nolan, asking about matters related to the annual meeting.
While Alexander was on the phone with Nolan, Elizabeth continued unwrapping gifts by herself.
There were many gifts, but not many like the music box that she really liked.
When Elizabeth got tired of unwrapping, she took out her phone to check Instagram. There were still many people replying to the post she made today.
User A: [Who sent these roses, Alexander? I saw Alexander's reply, and it seems like you two are pretty sweet together. So, are you really getting back together?]
User B: [After everything Alexander did to you, how can you forgive him? I think you haven't been hurt enough! I've never seen someone as pathetic and stupid as you.]
User A replied to User B: [Does seeing them happy make you that uncomfortable? Couples go through ups and downs. Isn't it enough that they're happy now?]
User B replied to User A: [How do you know Alexander has really changed? A man like Alexander, who has betrayed once, will betray again in the future!]
User A replied to User B: [And how do you know he hasn't changed? They just had a misunderstanding before. Now that it's cleared up, why can't they be together? Does everything have to go according to what you internet users want? Why do you all love controlling other people's lives so much? If something doesn't go your way, you start cursing!]
User B replied to User A: [Are you Elizabeth's pet?]
User A: [Blocked. I don't want to argue with someone who sees everything as dark. First, it's unnecessary, and second, their real life must be pretty miserable. I hope all internet users can be more mindful of their words and wish others well.]
User C: [Yeah, everyone should stop getting too involved in other people's lives. Whether it's good or bad, Elizabeth is the one living it!]
User D: [I used to be Elizabeth's college classmate. I want to say that it's really a pity Elizabeth and Alexander broke up. They were really hurt by Esme. If it weren't for Esme, they would have been very happy!]
A college classmate?
Elizabeth was stunned when she saw this comment.
She clicked on this person's profile, and then she saw a familiar photo.
The signboard of Lisbun Medical School.
The caption read: [I'm back, old friends. When are we having a reunion?]
Wasn't this the Thalia who called her today to invite her to the class reunion?
Elizabeth then realized that Thalia had been following her for a long, long time.
Whenever Elizabeth posted on Instagram and got criticized, Thalia would always speak up for her.
When Thalia spoke up for Elizabeth, people would start cursing Thalia too, saying she was meddling and pretending to be someone else's classmate.
But Thalia never replied to those messages.
Elizabeth suddenly felt a bit emotional.
During those college years, it seemed like she and Thalia had a pretty good relationship. But back then, she gave up a lot of friendships for Esme.
Esme was a possessive person. Since Elizabeth played with her, she wasn't allowed to play with anyone else.
Elizabeth's relationship with Lila wasn't as good as it was now because Esme was in the middle back then.
She remembered once when it was Lila's birthday, and Elizabeth gave Lila a very expensive gift. Esme saw it and got jealous, saying Elizabeth treated Lila better than her.
Esme said she really liked the gift Elizabeth was going to give Lila and insisted that Elizabeth give it to her instead.
Elizabeth was so pestered by Esme that she had no choice but to give the custom gift to Esme.
Elizabeth held her forehead, thinking about those times, and really wanted to curse herself.
She had no principles at all. Because Esme was jealous and liked the gift, she gave the gift meant for Lila to Esme.
And what about later? When Elizabeth went to Lila's birthday party, what did she give Lila?
Elizabeth couldn't even remember, only that Lila said it was enough that Elizabeth came. The gift wasn't important.
But Elizabeth would never forget how good she was to Esme.
She was so good to Esme that she never understood why Esme would betray her and steal her man.
Looking back now, it was because Elizabeth had no principles that Esme became more and more excessive.
