Chapter 164
Another man came out of the restroom. He paused when he saw Elizabeth, doubting if he had entered the wrong place. Elizabeth swallowed and turned to leave. But Alexander grabbed her arm, his deep, cold eyes locked on her. Elizabeth frowned and signaled with her eyes to let go. Alexander didn’t budge.
Just then, a guy in his twenties stumbled in, bumped into Elizabeth, and pushed her towards Alexander. Alexander’s arm lightened, and Elizabeth fell into his embrace. He held her close, and they heard someone shout, “What’s this woman doing in the men’s restroom?”
The guy staggered towards Elizabeth, trying to pull her out. Alexander’s calm face showed a slight change. He frowned and pulled Elizabeth back, making the guy miss. “Wrong place, sorry,” Alexander said calmly. Elizabeth glanced at Alexander. He looked down at her, and their eyes met. She felt protected. He apologized for her, which made her heart flutter. In her youth, this was how she fell for him.
“Who are you to her?” the guy asked arrogantly, pointing at Alexander. “Do you think you can just say it’s a mistake? What if I suffer because she saw me?” Alexander let out a mocking laugh, his tone sarcastic. What kind of mindset says such shameless things? he thought.
Elizabeth looked at the guy. Seeing his bald head and big belly, she thought he was just an ordinary but confident man. “Ignore him. He’s a lunatic.” Elizabeth hooked Alexander’s arm and started to leave. Alexander raised an eyebrow, looking at her fingers with interest and smiling softly.
Elizabeth had just taken two steps when the guy blocked her. “Who are you calling a lunatic?” Elizabeth glared at him coldly. Obviously, she was calling him a lunatic. “You come into the men’s restroom and call me a lunatic? Do you believe I’ll call the police and accuse you of harassing me?” the guy pointed actively at Elizabeth’s nose and yelled.
Elizabeth felt annoyed. ‘Do as you please.’ “Stop right there!” He grabbed her arm, pulling her back. “Why are you so arrogant? Do you know who—” Elizabeth and Alexander looked at him almost simultaneously. They really didn’t know who this guy was.
“Why don’t you tell—” Alexander said calmly, his voice clear and compelling. The guy looked Alexander up and down, then raised his chin and announced, “Neil Green is my dad!” Elizabeth was stunned. “Neil Green?”

Alexander looked down and asked her, “Do you know him?” Elizabeth laughed. “Sure enough. He kept harassing me at dinner earlier. The Greens are all nuts!” The Green Group isn’t even in the top 100 in Lisbun. I don’t know where you got the nerve to shout here.” Elizabeth removed the guy’s hand, her tone particularly sarcastic, quite like Alexander’s. Though she hadn’t received any love from Alexander over the years, she had picked up some of his ways and manner of speaking.
Elizabeth brushed off the spot the guy had touched, her gaze indifferent and disdainful. “Don’t bother me again, or I’ll teach you a lesson.” Already upset by Neil’s harassment, Elizabeth was further annoyed by Neil’s son pestering her.
