Chapter 93: Chapter 93: He Wanted You to Break the Rules for Him

Lily’s face had turned an eerie shade of pale, and she yelled defiantly, “It’s none of your damn business!”

With that, she kicked the table and stormed out, skipping the class.

If it hadn’t been for her dad’s stern warning, Lily would have torn Elizabeth’s face apart by now.

After Lily left, the classmates exchanged bewildered glances. They gazed at Elizabeth with complex emotions.

Previously, suspecting that Ben’s book was thrown away by Elizabeth, they were genuinely concerned. With Elizabeth having such a bad reputation, would she target them next?

Now, realizing their mistake, they felt incredibly ashamed.

Only now did they recognize that it had always been Lily spreading rumors about Elizabeth, leading them to have a biased view.

Moreover, Linda had never mentioned that Elizabeth bullied her. They probably misunderstood the situation.

Elizabeth, for her part, seemed indifferent to whether her classmates changed their opinion of her. She had identified the one who posted online and raised an eyebrow.

So, it’s him.

On Saturday at noon.

Sir. Wilson, after finishing his meal, donned a well-tailored suit. His hair neatly combed with gel, he still looked dashing, even nearing fifty.

He was heading to Surge Real Estate to sign a contract. Such a significant event, naturally, required his personal attention.

Sophia, with a dreamy expression, sighed, “Oh, Ray, how can you still look so handsome?”

Sir. Wilson coughed, “Mind your words in front of the child.”

Elizabeth sipped her milk quietly, pretending not to hear.

Linda said sweetly, “Honestly, no one could guess that Dad is almost fifty.”

Sir. Wilson was flushed with pride and told Elizabeth, “Once this project is complete, I’ve talked to your mom about taking the family on a trip.”

He had been planning this for a long time, mainly for Elizabeth, wanting to make up for past regrets.

Turning to Linda, he added, “You contributed to this success as well. Didn’t you always want a car? I’ve asked Jack to help you find one. Elizabeth, once you get your driver’s license, I’ll get you one too.”

Elizabeth didn’t reply. Her shiny black eyes, however, were fixed on a slightly uneasy Linda.

Feeling a bit guilty, Linda thanked her father, “Thanks, Dad.”

One lie led to another.

After lunch, Elizabeth went upstairs.

Meanwhile, Peter called to update her on Zane’s situation.

“Zane refuses to sign the contract without meeting you first. Seems like the gift won’t work after all.”

Elizabeth frowned, “Meet me for what?”

Peter laughed and joked, “Maybe he wants you to bend the rules for him.”

Elizabeth remained silent.

Peter didn’t dare make another sound.

Oh no, I’ve done it. Did I just crack a joke on Professor Lawrence? After a pause, Elizabeth indifferently instructed, “Handle it.”

Peter asked seriously, “Boss, do you think I’m omnipotent?”

Elizabeth glanced at her phone and calmly stated, “You have an hour.”

Peter was speechless.

He muttered under his breath, “The boss is overworking her staff. Is there no one overseeing this?”

Annoyed, Peter hung up.

No sooner had the call ended than Emily texted her.

“Elizabeth, want to come over for a barbecue at my place?”

Elizabeth was about to decline, as she had research to do. However, pausing for a moment, she replied, “Alright.”

Emily was pleasantly surprised by Elizabeth’s response, thinking she might need to persuade her.

“I’ll come and pick you up. Wait for me at home.”

Elizabeth didn’t object.

Emily, ready to go, was leaving when Alexander, who had been resting at the old house the previous day, casually asked, “Where are you off to?”

Without a second thought, Emily replied, “Picking up Elizabeth for a barbecue. It’s a rare weekend, and I just want to spend it with her.”

Alexander simply responded, “Oh..”
