Chapter 67
Esme, though anxious inside, kept her composure. โCheck all you want!โ she said. โI spent a billion dollars on this saffron. You think I wouldnโt know if itโs real? Would I dare give Lily something fake?โ Eume tossed her bag aside and pulled up a chair, sitting down with confidence. โMs. Percy, if you falsely accuse me today, even if you kneel and apologize, I wonโt forgive you!โ Esme snorted.
Did Elizabeth think Esme had no temper? What right did Elizabeth have to say her saffron was fake?
โAnd what if Iโm not falsely accusing you?โ Elizabeth tilted her head.
Esme sneered, pointing at Elizabethโs high heels. โThen Iโll kneel down and polish your shoes myself!โ
Everyone in the room was on edge, curious about this โreal or fake saffronโ drama. The Percy familyโs power was far inferior to the Russell family. How could the Percy family procure the real saffron? The Russell family had announced early on that they were giving Lily saffron. If it turned out to be fake, wouldnโt they be embarrassed?
Moreover, with Esme being so firm, everyone thought, โThe Percy familyโs saffron must be fake.โ The rare saffron from the Percy family looks no different from a red rose! At least the Russell familyโs looks like saffron. I think Elizabeth is just here to stir things up.
โLily has been so good to her, and she comes to mess up Lilyโs birthday party! Lily should have someone drag her out!โ
Elizabeth glanced around at the people. Her gaze was cold, but those people showed no fear. Instead, they stared back at her, convinced her saffron was fake!
Lily saw this and felt annoyed. She sighed and slowly said, โEnough.โ She didnโt care whether the saffron Esme gave was real or fake; she was worried about Elizabeth. If Esmeโs saffron turned out to be real, wouldnโt Elizabeth be embarrassed?! With Alexander not here, she had to protect Elizabeth for him and couldnโt let Elizabeth be bullied!
When everyone heard Lily relent, they became even more convinced that Esmeโs saffron was real and that Elizabethโs saffron was fake!
โWabeth, letโs not check it, okay?โ Lily held Elizabethโs hand.
Elizabeth frowned. โNot check it? What is Lily worried about? Is she afraid it would turn out to be fake and people would laugh at her? But people would laugh at the Russell family, not Lily.โ
โGrandma,โ Elizabeth protested; she wanted to continue with the verification.
Lily let go of Elizabethโs hand, her tone a bit displeased. โI said no need to check it, Elizabeth, are you not listening to me?โ
Making Lily angry was not Elizabethโs intention. If she made Lily upset enough to end up in the hospital, it would be a loss. Elizabeth had no choice but to lower her head. After much hesitation, she decided to endure it and finally agreed. โTo you, Grandma.โ Elizabeth glanced at Esme, her eyes complicated.
Este didnโt expect Lily to speak up and help her avoid a disaster. She was instantly moved.
โElizabeth says to listen to Lily, but is Lily just trying to save her from embarrassment? Is this matter just going to end like this?โ
The Russell family went to such lengths to give Lily a grand gift. Why should Elizabeth slander them?
โMs. Russell, you should make Elizabeth apologize to you!โ
โThatโs right, make her apologize!!โ
Chapter 67
A group of people suddenly spoke up in favor of Esme, aggressive and arrogant. At that moment, Elizabeth saw what human nature was. No matter if it was related to them or not, they wouldnโt miss any chance to mock others!
โSheโs just a young woman who got married early. Does she even know anything about precious herbs? I think she just feels that Alexander and Ms. Russell are too close and wants to retaliate!โ
Everyone immediately nodded in agreement. They all felt that she was just a young woman who got married early. This sentence kept echoing in Elizabethโs ear.
