Unrepairable Love

Chapter 232

Elizabeth walked into the office and immediately heard Laura griping. “The Russell family really messed up this time. They bragged about giving saffron to the media but ended up with fake stuff!”

Another doctor chimed in. “Yeah, classic case of asking for trouble.”

“Rey!” Laura called out to Elizabeth. “Feeling better? Been discharged?”

“Dr. Percy!”

Elizabeth nodded.

Laura approached, eyes wide. “Dr. Percy, how did you get the saffron?”

Elizabeth hesitated, thinking. Should I say I’m Glory M from Base M, where I can get anything?

Before she could respond, another doctor laughed and nudged Laura. “Did you forget? The Percy family is full of doctors. They can get any herb they want. It’s just saffron!”

Elizabeth paused and nodded. “Yes, it’s my grandmother’s. I can’t get saffron myself.”

“So it’s Mrs. Percy’s!” Laura laughed. “It’s Mrs. Lily Tudor’s birthday. As the granddaughter-in-law, you have to give something.”

Just then, the office door opened again. Seeing Esme, Laura smirked. “Unlike some people who tried to impress Mrs. Tudor but ended up giving fake stuff. Now the whole internet knows!”

Esme, already furious, clenched her fists and glared at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth stayed silent, her expression complicated.

Esme’s follower stood up and shouted, “Laura, stop talking nonsense so early in the morning!”

“Really, Esme’s lapdog. Your master wants to marry Mr. Tudor, but I don’t see it happening,” Laura mocked.

Lime walked over, pushed Laura’s shoulder, and slapped her.

Chaos erupted.

Isme thought, I’ve suffered enough because of Elizabeth. I’m not taking it from Laura too. I’m from the Russell family, pampered since childhood. Who is Laura to belittle me?

“Did I hit a sore spot?” Laura cursed.

Esme grew angrier. “Damn, I’m not the third party; it’s Elizabeth who took Alexander away. If anyone’s the third party, it’s Elizabeth! Bitch! Offend me, and you’ll regret it!” Esme grabbed Laura’s collar and slapped her again.

“Esme!” Elizabeth frowned and grabbed Esme’s arm.

They locked eyes, Elizabeth’s brows furrowed. If Esme has a problem, she should take it out on me, not Laura.

“If you have an issue, take it up with me. Don’t involve innocent people,” Elizabeth said.

“Innocent?” Esme sneered, shaking off Elizabeth and grabbing Laura’s hair. “How innocent can a foul-mouthed person like her be?”

Laura quickly got entangled with Esme!

“Ms. Carter will be here soon. Stop fighting!” Sunny ran in to break it up.

Elizabeth tried to pull Laura away but found they were too entangled to separate.

Esme started off aggressive, but within moments, Laura had her pinned down. Laura was heavy-handed, almost pressing Esme onto the table as she hit her.

Unwilling to give in, Esme yanked out several strands of Laura’s hair. As Elizabeth was protecting Laura, Esme scratched her hand.

Seeing Elizabeth protecting Laura, and thinking about how Alexander had been with her at the hospital these past few nights, and how she had framed the Russell family, Esme got even angrier. She raised her hand to hit Elizabeth, venting her frustration.

“Despicable bitch!” She kept clawing at Elizabeth.
