Chapter 289

“Then tell me, if it wasn’t you, who was it?” Allen’s face was red with anger. Allen felt guilty for not protecting Esme better. She always thought if Esme was wronged, Nancy would be too.

“Who knows if Esme got drunk and spilled the beans. Anyway,” Elizabeth walked up to Nick, picked up the anonymous letter, glanced at it, and said firmly, “Mr. York, I didn’t write this letter. If you want to investigate, I’ll fully cooperate.”

She disliked Esme but never thought of taking harsh actions against her. Elizabeth knew how to fight but tolerated Esme because Alexander loved her. But if the Russell family framed her, she wouldn’t tolerate it.

“Alright, Elizabeth, I understand,” Nick replied seriously.

Allen was still indignant and demanded, “Mr. York, Esme has been suspended, right? I demand Elizabeth be suspended too!”

Elizabeth glanced at Allen and coldly threatened, “Mrs. Russell, don’t test my limits.”

Elizabeth thought, ‘Is Esme the only one with family? I have family too. If it comes to a head-on confrontation, who knows who’ll get hurt!’

“She must be suspended. If she did this, she has a character problem!” Allen was irrational.

Elizabeth remained silent. ‘Who really has a character problem?’

“Mrs. Russell, the hospital will decide. If you have nothing else, please go about your business,” Nick reminded Allen.

Elizabeth gave Allen a glance and turned to leave. Seeing this, Allen followed her. Leon still needed to negotiate with Nick. Seeing Allen leave, Henry feared something bad might happen, so he followed her out.

Sure enough, Elizabeth hadn’t taken more than a few steps before Allen stopped her.

“Elizabeth!” Allen called out, full of confidence, as if Elizabeth had already been convicted.

“Go ahead,” Elizabeth maintained a polite attitude.

Unfortunately, Allen had no sense of politeness towards Elizabeth. “Was it you or not? Admit it now, and the Russell family will let you go!” Allen remained suspicious.

Elizabeth, unable to bear it, retorted, “Mrs. Russell, you should get your head checked.” Elizabeth had already said it wasn’t her. Besides, if she had reported it, why would she still be standing here, waiting to be questioned by the Russell family?

“Insulting me?” Allen glared at Elizabeth, eyes full of disbelief.

“Shouldn’t you be insulted?” Elizabeth couldn’t stand unreasonable people like her.

Allen’s face turned dark. Her chest heaved with anger, one hand clutching her chest. She couldn’t believe Elizabeth was speaking to her like this! It was too much!

“Elizabeth, I am your elder,” Allen reminded through gritted teeth.

“Respect is given to those who deserve it. But you don’t seem to deserve my respect,” Elizabeth smiled sarcastically.

“Elizabeth, don’t go too far!” Henry also joined in criticizing Elizabeth.

“What, is the Russell family ganging up on me?” Elizabeth looked at Henry and Allen, asking, “Are you bullying me because I have no family here?”

Allen glared at Elizabeth, her right hand clenched into a fist. As Elizabeth was about to leave, Allen grabbed her arm and raised her hand to slap Elizabeth.
