Chapter 6
If he didn’t protect her, she would be taken advantage of again.
“Grandpa, why don’t you go sit with Dad and Uncle Jack?” Elizabeth suggested, turning back into the humble and sensible girl.
When Celia, who was standing beside Samuel, saw Tomas protecting Elizabeth so much, a touch of malice flashed in her beautiful eyes,
She had been brought to Tomas by Samuel for so long, and Tomas hadn’t even looked at her once. Instead, his focus was all on Elizabeth, this ugly woman!
Elizabeth didn’t miss the malicious look in Celia’s eyes. Celia was really good at acting. No wonder she became the best actress in just four years! It seemed she was playing herself.
Elizabeth was all too aware of her current situation.
Before she could figure out what to do, Celia took the initiative to be nice to Elizabeth “Hello, Liz.”
Through her dark sunglasses, Elizabeth clearly saw the calculation in Celia’s eyes.
“Celia, please don’t call me Liz. We’re not that close!” Elizabeth stepped back and her expression was cold and
distant
Elizabeth used to be naive, thinking Celia was a good person, always speaking for her and Samuel It wasn’t until the day of their divorce that she realized all of this was just Celia’s scheme!
Celia looked at Elizabeth pitifully. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be about to shed tears, which was heart–wrenching, “Sam, I..” Celia called Samuel’s name in a coquettish manner, making everyone feel bad for her.
Samuel instantly became angry. “Elizabeth, don’t push your luck!”
Samuel was seized with the impulse to strangle Elizabeth in front of everyone. The murderous intent in his eyes Elizabeth step back.
“Elizabeth, you’re asking for trouble!”
It seemed that Elizabeth had become more daring in the four years they had not seen each other, daring to insult Celia so publicly!
Elizabeth had experienced Samuel’s fury before. She was almost tortured to death by him that night four years ago.
Celia, tearfully, spoke up. “Elizabeth, karma is watching. How could you say such things? Sam and I were meant to be together. If it wasn’t for you intervening, we wouldn’t have had to wait until now. Besides, when you were with Sam, I was always abroad. Did I not give you a chance?”

What a performance.
Elizabeth could hardly resist applauding Celia!
The crowd’s view of Elizabeth became even more contemptuous, and they started to gossip.
“She’s shameless! She’s the third wheel, yet she puts all the blame on Celia!”
“What is Celia’s standing and what is this ugly woman?”
“With her hideous appearance, it’s a wonder Samuel could even eat in her presence.”
The gossip continued.
Taced with these biting comments, Elizabeth remained extremely indifferent, her eyes hidden behind sunglasses shining with Elizabeth said inwardly. “Celia, it’s been four years. Is this the only trick you know?”
Tomas couldn’t stand to see Elizabeth being bullied. He and Samuel had agreed on a period of four years, yet Samuel couldn’t wait for the remaining two months?
“Dad, let the younger generation handle their own affairs.”
“Yeah. Dad, Elizabeth is an adult. You have to let her learn her own lessons.”
Tomas‘ sons tried their best to persuade him, and besides, Elizabeth wasn’t losing to Celia.
Tomas snorted in displeasure.
However, he was quite pleased. After four years, Elizabeth seemed more cheerful and intelligent than before.
The audience’s mockery only fueled the arrogance of the Yorks and Celia.
However, it was Celia who spoke for Elizabeth at this moment. “Today is Grandpa’s 80th birthday. Liz, I know you’re angry, and I understand your pain. You’ve come back after a long time. Regardless of how much you hate me, could
avoid causing a scene today?”
Celia’s words were direct. As soon as Elizabeth came back, she caused a scene at Tomas party, turning the birthday
celebration
Hearing Cella’s words, everyone’s dislike for Elizabeth intensified, including Samuel’s
“Come on, Liz, let’s drink this cup of wine as a sign of reconciliation. Let’s put the past behind us. Today, I promise in front of everyone that I will respect you like my elder sister in the future. After all, you were also raised by the Yorks.”
Elizabeth scolded inwardly. “Ugh!
“Who needs your respect?”
Elizabeth didn’t need this kind of respect.

Chapter 6
Besides, why should Celia say such things? Celia was the one who intruded on Elizabeth’s relationship with Samuel. Still, Celia was acting so arrogantly despite being a homewrecker!
And these people, just because Celia was beautiful and was a superstar, bullied Elizabeth at will!
Celia purposefully brought up Tomas to pressure Elizabeth into submission.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Elizabeth and Celia, and all of them were full of praise for Celia.
“Celia is so kind, always thinking of others.”
“Look at Elizabeth. What a disgrace to all women!”
Before Elizabeth could regain her bearings in the chaos, she was shoved again. Samuel’s push was forceful and Elizabeth, wearing high heels, was unable to keep her balance and fell to the ground.
All eyes in the room were on Celia, with a spiteful suspicion that Elizabeth had intentionally spilled her drink on Celia.
Due to Samuel’s swift action in pushing Elizabeth away, Celia fell into his arms and escaped without any harm.
