“Just tell me what’s going on and stop calling me sister–in–law.”
Steven hugged Elizabeth’s thigh tightly. “Elizabeth, do you know that you are now a celebrity in our school? Everyone is guessing who you are, what you look like, and why you are so beautiful. I was blocked by a group of people at the school gate every day, but what they asked was your whereabouts. Elizabeth, do you know what it’s like for me? Huh… Do you know my trauma? Elizabeth.”
“Stop. Let’s get to the point!” Elizabeth was going to be driven crazy by him, and she had never been so patient with
her son.
Steven got her a glass of water flatteringly and offered it with both hands. His posture almost treated her as a God. “Elizabeth, I just want to say that you are so beautiful, so it’s not suitable for you to be a housewife! A woman should have her own career. Look how successful Celia is, right? Samuel likes her only because she is famous. If you are with me, I promise you will be better than her! When the time comes, Samuel will definitely change his mind!”
Elizabeth was almost choked by the water.
Wasn’t Celia your sister–in–law now?
“How many times had you used your brother? Do you call any whoever you can!” Elizabeth thought.

“Elizabeth, be my personal model. You can see that my designs are not bad. I want to set up a studio, and I will sign you as the first one!”
Elizabeth laughed and reached out to Steven. “Where’s the money?”
“What money?”
As Elizabeth knew, Steven had promised domineeringly that he would not take a penny from the Yorks, no matter whether he went to school or started a business in the future. Everyone in the Yorks was focusing on him. Did he have money to open a studio and pay her?
“Did you not pay for signing a model as good as me?”
“Elizabeth, you are my sister–in–law.” Steven pressed down her outstretched hands. “It’s so vulgar to talk about money, isn’t it? And with my status, will I treat you badly in the future?”
He was good at speaking. Did he rely on his eloquence to have so many followers at school?
“Even brothers keep careful accounts, not to mention that I am not your sister–in–law. I divorced Samuel four years ago!” Elizabeth’s face turned cold. “And don’t forget that you haven’t given me the prize last time.”
“I saved it for you. When you sign a contract with me, I will give it back to you!”
Elizabeth didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Steven was so smart that he knew how to exchange terms with

others.
“Then let’s break off relations!”
“No!” Seeing that Elizabeth was angry, Steven quickly pleased her. “Elizabeth, I brought you a person, and I promise that you will like him.”
Liked him?
Elizabeth didn’t know how to react to his words!
“Come on, Elizabeth. It’s not too late to refuse me when you’re not satisfied!”
Elizabeth had no choice but to go out with him. He was so difficult to deal with, and she was sleepy.
The two went downstairs together, and

“Hello, Miss Jones.” Seeing her going downstairs, Hugo stepped forward to greet her politely. A shy blush crept up on his clean and fair face.
Elizabeth was stunned by his shy appearance. It was so cute that there was such a shy boy these days.
“Oh, he looks good,” Elizabeth whispered in Steven’s ear.
“Right? Do you like him?”
Elizabeth nodded. “Can you give him to me?”
“Sure, why not?” Steven waved to him. “Hugo, come here.”
Hugo went over with a blushing face. “What orders do Miss Jones have?”
“He has a fair skin.” Elizabeth rubbed her hands, and her eyes kept scanning Hugo back and forth, “And he is clean. Good, it’s the type I like.”
None of the three noticed that a tall and straight figure stood in the empty space on the second floor for a long time, and the veins popped out of his hand supporting the guardrail.
“Elizabeth, are you so impatient of loneliness that you want to seduce men in front of me?” He thought.
“How old are you? Can you get married?” Elizabeth asked.
Hugo replied, “twenty two, not married yet.”
“Who allowed you to bring him here? Get out of here right now!” Samuel’s gloomy gaze fell on Hugo.
Elizabeth stepped forward and protected Hugo behind her. “Samuel, this is my guest.”

Samuel’s ferocious eyes almost pierced her. Just as he was about to speak, Steven exclaimed as if he had discovered a
new
continent, “Gosh, Samuel, how did you get injured on your wrist? Who could possibly hurt you? Mom would be so worried and concerned. I’ll have to tell grandpa first, in case he sees it tomorrow.”
On the other hand, Samuel looked at Elizabeth with a playful expression, wanting to see how she was going to explain to Grandpa Tomas.
He would keep the wound on his wrist.
