The alumni were not unreasonable people; they were simply deceived by Nina’s miserable appearance. They were deeply ashamed of their scolding and harsh reaction. The entire restaurant was filled with their apologies.

Calvin also felt a little upset. He looked at Elvira, opened his mouth to apologize, but Elvira didn't even glance at him or the Willis family members.

“So… Elvira was wrongly accused back then? Tell me, why didn’t you explain it to your family? At that time, your family spent a lot of money to settle the matter,” Amber said grudgingly. She had come to see Elvira humiliated; she hadn't expected Elvira's reputation to be cleared.

Back then, Amber had also spent a sum of money to inflate Elvira’s bullying incident. She thought, ‘Why did that vegetable suddenly wake up? If I knew she would wake up and clear Elvira’s name, I would have gotten rid of her!’

It would be easy to kill Elena without anyone knowing—

“I have nothing to do with the Willis family anymore. Karen Willis and I have already made it very clear to the media! Mind your words!” Elvira said coldly. With the matter resolved, there was no need for her to remain. She took Zach’s hand and said gently, “Let’s go.”

Zach glanced coldly at the Willis family. Lowering his head, he said softly, “Alright, it’s too noisy here. I’ll order some food to eat in my room.”

“Mr. Gilbert, I’ll walk you and Ms. Willis out.” The principal smiled obsequiously. His attitude was extremely humble.

“Elvira, how dare you! It’s not that easy to break off ties with the Willis family! Back then, the Willis family compensated a huge sum of money for your matter! The Willis family raised you for more than twenty years. We have spent a lot of money on you. What right do you have to say you are severing ties with the Willis family?” Karen initially felt a little guilty, but that guilt vanished upon hearing Elvira’s words.

Elvira stopped in her tracks and scoffed, “Karen must have gone senile, right? Back then, I never admitted to bullying anyone. I had already said that if you wanted me to admit to something I didn’t do, I would rather be arrested and imprisoned! You were the ones who took the initiative to pay money to cover it up and ruin my reputation. It’s money I was already benevolent enough not to seek compensation from you! I know I’ve spent the Willis family’s money while young. I’ll naturally calculate everything and return the money to the Willis family! As for the last point you mentioned, I didn’t ask to be born into the Willis family. Therefore, I don’t owe the Willis family anything! I’ll announce that I’ve severed ties with the Willis family tomorrow. I’ll transfer the money to you as well! Also, please don’t disturb me in the future! Oh right, I don’t need your apology either because I don’t care!”

After Elvira finished speaking, she ignored them and pulled Zach out of the restaurant. Vincent, angered by his daughter’s attitude, tried to grab her, but Zach’s bodyguards blocked him.

When they reached the restaurant entrance, Elvira turned to look at her brother. She asked, “Marsh, are you coming or not?”

Marsh looked at his sister, then at the Willis family members. He hesitated and didn’t move.

Amber immediately reached out to Marsh. “Marsh, you’re the Willis family’s eldest grandson. You can’t leave the Willis family. Come to Mom quickly.”

Marsh didn’t dare look at Elvira. Hesitantly, he walked toward the Willis family members.

Seeing this, Elvira didn’t care about him anymore. She left with Zach.

Judy was so angry she felt dizzy. She should have been happy today, able to publicize Elvira’s scandal again and ruin her reputation. However, the tables had turned.

Judy looked at Calvin, whose expression was unclear. She walked over, grabbed his hand, and said gently, “So we’ve all misunderstood Elvira. Who would have thought that Nina was the bully?”

It turned out that no one could be blamed for this.

“Who asked her to meddle in other people’s business? If it weren’t for her meddling, would she have been involved? In the future, no one should mention Elvira Willis again. She wants to sever ties with us. Let her be! I want to see what ability she has to establish a foothold in Jersten after leaving the Willis family,” Kareis said angrily, turning to leave the restaurant.

“I also think it’s Elvira’s fault. If she doesn’t meddle in other people’s business, wouldn’t everything be fine? She has her own problems, but she still blames others! She’s just a jinx. I can’t let her harm Mr. Gilbert! By the way, what’s Mr. Gilbert’s name?” Zoey still hadn’t given up on Zach.

The onlookers listened attentively. After hearing the Willis family’s comments, they felt the family lacked good values. No wonder Elvira wanted to break away; their values were problematic. If something happened, they would rather believe outsiders than their own child!

Why did Elvira feel it was outrageous to be scolded for being a busybody? She had saved a life. It was one thing if her family didn’t praise her, but to scold her like this…

Also, this crazy woman didn’t even know Zach’s name and still claimed he loved her. She didn’t give up, knowing he was married… She was truly unwell.

Samson and Spike quickly followed Zach and Elvira. They admired and believed in Elvira; her sincerity towards Zach made them feel she was worthy to be his wife.

“Elvira, did you arrange everything today?” Samson asked.

Spike was equally puzzled.

“Yes and no,” Elvira smiled, looking at Zach, who looked like Prince Charming. “Originally, Elena couldn’t be present today due to her condition. I think someone secretly helped me and asked Elena to come here personally to testify for me. Even if she woke up after seven years in a vegetative state, she wouldn’t recover so quickly. Previously, Elvira contacted Elena’s doctor, and the doctor said she couldn’t leave the hospital now. Hence, Elvira gave up on the idea of letting Elena be the witness. Elena’s life was more important.”

Someone must have helped Elvira so that Elena could come here today.

Also, the principal appeared in time to apologize on behalf of the school. It must be someone’s doing. If it weren’t for Zach, even if Elvira was wrongly accused, the school wouldn’t have taken the initiative to prove her innocence and apologize.

“I only found an authoritative expert to treat her. You did the rest yourself!” Zach raised his hand and patted Elvira’s head lovingly.

Samson looked at the affectionate couple. His heart ached again. He had decided to stop being a Casanova. He wanted to date a woman as good as Elvira, marry her, and have children!

When they arrived at the hotel room, Samson and Spike wanted to follow them in. This time, they didn’t need Zach to chase them away. Elvira raised her hand to block the door and said, “We have something to talk about alone. It’s not convenient for you to come in! See you later.”

The door slammed shut, shutting out Samson and Spike. The two of them said nothing.

The moment the door closed, Zach grabbed Elvira’s waist. The next second, she was pressed against the door…
