Chapter 312 Isn't It Funny?
Roseane frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Eliza already stood up and took the initiative to walk over to the group of medical students.
"Hello."
She tried to make her smile look easy-going. "I'd like to ask... what's the full name of... Dr. James you just mentioned?"
The appearance of Eliza instantly silenced the girls who were chattering.
One of the girls glanced at her unhappily. "Who are you? Why should we tell you about Dr. James?"
The other girl beside her couldn't help but laugh. "Perla, you're really ignorant!"
"How can you not know her?"
After that, the girl raised her eyes and looked at Eliza coldly. "Isn't... Isn't she Eliza, a newbie in the entertainment circle who acted with Julian before?"
"Don't underestimate her. Although she's just an actress in the entertainment industry, her husband, Beau, is the richest man in Krine."
Hearing the girl mention Beau, the girls around her raised their heads in shock.
They had never heard of Eliza, so they did not know who Julian had cooperated with before this.
But everyone knew Beau!
Beau, the richest man in Krine!
One of the girls heard the conversation here and silently adjusted her glasses. "It's really Mrs. Valentine, Eliza."
"I've been following the news on the Internet closely for the past few days. I thought Beau had truly fallen in love with an ugly woman. But in the end, they discovered Eliza was the one who pretended to be the ugly woman!"
"Rich people really know how to have fun..."
"She is so beautiful, but still pretended to be ugly and got on the news and let Beau chase her... It's really ridiculous."
"Maybe this is the pleasure of the rich people. I don't understand, but I'm shocked."
The two girls started discussing and directly ruined Eliza's impression among these medical students.
The girl called Perla, who was questioned by Eliza earlier, frowned and glanced at Eliza with disgust. "Mrs. Valentine, if you want to know the news about Dr. James, you will definitely get it in any way. Why did you come to ask us?"
"You came to us because you want to show off your status to us poor students, right?"
"This is really funny..."
This group of girls mocked her one after another. Eliza stood where she was, her hands tightly clenched into fists.
However, she took a deep breath and looked at Perla seriously. "I have a patient at home who needs treatment. I want to know Dr. James's identity and contact information. Or you can tell me when she will arrive in Krine."
In the distance, Roseane was shocked to see Eliza being ridiculed. However, she still kept her back straight and stood there, making Roseane feel a little pain in her heart.
Eliza had never been an extrovert.
It was very difficult for her to ask questions to a bunch of strangers younger than her in such a public place.
It was even more difficult for a person like her who had practiced martial arts for many years to hold back her anger and ask for the information that she wanted to know.
This group of reckless girls might not know yet. If Eliza was enraged, none of them could defeat her alone!
Thinking of this, Roseane could not help biting her lips.
For Demarion, Eliza...
Could really do anything.
"Why should we tell you?"
One of the girls laughed coldly and extended her hand towards Eliza. "Mrs. Valentine, your family is the richest family in Krine. You must be very rich, right?"
"Since you want to get the information from us, how can you not show us your sincerity?"
"We don't ask for too much, 20,000 dollars should be enough, what do you think?"
"Ha ha ha ha...!"
The group of girls laughed wildly and crazily.
Eliza closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. Suppressing her anger, she said, "I just want to ask about Dr. James."
Of course, she knew that if she looked for Beau, Dr. James's information would be found out in less than half an hour.
But she didn't want to.
Beau and Noah had been outside checking the monitors for an entire afternoon.
She did not eat or drink, neither did Beau.
If she asked him to help her check things again at this time, she was afraid that he would forget to take care of himself when he got busy.
For the things that she could do herself, she did not want to trouble Beau.
But at the moment, these girls didn't intend to tell her Dr. James's news at all.
"Eliza."
Seeing the anger in Eliza's eyes, Roseane finally couldn't sit still.
She quickly stood up and ran to Eliza's side. She reached out to hold her arm and said, "Forget it."
"I'll go back to ask Matthew's men to help you investigate. There's no need to waste your time with them."
Roseane's words made Perla snort coldly. "No need to waste her time with us?"
"You look so beautiful but why are you so rude?"
After the girl finished speaking, someone next to her reminded in a low voice,
"This is Roseane, the former movie queen in the entertainment circle. Previously, she was also a female artist who struggled hard, but in the end, she lost her self-respect and married into a rich and powerful family."
"By the way, the person Roseane married is none other than Eliza's husband, Beau's nephew, Matthew!"
Hearing the girl's words, Perla could not help but laugh. "So, my dear girls, did you hear that?"
"I thought they were a pair of besties standing in front of me, but they weren't!"
"They are actually niece-in-law and aunt!"
"Isn't it funny?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
The loud noise here attracted the attention of all the people in the restaurant.
Eliza bit her lip and did not say anything.
But Roseane couldn't stay calm.
"What did you just say?"
"You're still young but already so vicious. Have you not been taught a lesson by society yet?"
"You are still an intern, aren't you?"
"Believe it or not, I'll report it to your school and make you unable to graduate!"
Roseane's words hit the soft spot of this group of female students.
This was the most deadly curse for them!
The leader of the group, Perla, gritted her teeth and glared at Roseane. "Shut your mouth!"
"What if I don't shut up?"
Roseane snorted. Just as she wanted to say something, the girl gave Roseane a slap angrily.
Just as Perla's palm was about to land on Roseane's face, a hand appeared in time and grabbed Perla's wrist.
"Hiss— !"
When Perla's wrist was being grasped, she cried out in shock and subconsciously raised her head.
The person who grabbed her wrist was none other than Eliza, who had always been bullied by them and had not spoken a word.
She squinted at Perla.
"You can not tell me about Dr. James, but you still need to have basic etiquette."
"I've never seen such an uncouth person. Did your mother not teach you anything about etiquette when you were a child?"
