Chapter 504

Esme spotted Elizabeth and immediately tried to run. But Elizabeth was quick. She grabbed Esme’s arm and yanked her toward the parking lot.

“Elizabeth! Let go of me!” Esme yelled.

Elizabeth didn’t say a word, her face a stone mask as she dragged Esme along. Her grip was so tight, her nails dug into Esme’s skin.

“Elizabeth! If you don’t let go, I’m calling the cops,” Esme threatened.

Elizabeth slapped her hard across the face. Esme stumbled and hit a car. She looked up at Elizabeth, stunned.

“Go ahead, call the cops,” Elizabeth said, rolling up her sleeves. “Today, I’m gonna beat you like I’m facing a life sentence. Esme, look at what you’ve done. Are you even human?”

Esme realized Elizabeth knew everything. She lowered her head, too scared to speak. Esme bit her lip, holding her face with one hand. Elizabeth looked at her with pure disdain.

“Esme, let’s not even talk about the past few years. Back in college, weren’t we close?” Elizabeth couldn’t wrap her head around it.

“I even helped you get into college! I treated you like my own sister, and this is how you repay me?” Elizabeth’s voice cracked. “I trusted you, considered you my best friend, and told you how I saved Alexander and almost died. And what did you do? You impersonated me?”

Elizabeth was in disbelief. She knew Esme was arrogant and malicious, but this was a new level of heartless.

“Esme, what did I ever do to you that you’d stab me in the back like this?” Elizabeth’s anger boiled over.

She wanted to end Esme’s life right then and there. ‘Why should someone like Esme get to live a healthy life?’ she thought.

“I just envy you; I just look down on you; so what? Elizabeth, why are you being so unreasonable with me?” Esme pushed Elizabeth away and started to fight back.

Elizabeth was shocked. “You did something wrong and you’re still so arrogant? Today, I’m gonna teach you a lesson!”

In the past, it was elegance that held her back. Now, Elizabeth was going to show Esme what madness looked like.

Elizabeth grabbed Esme’s hair and slammed her head against the car. With a dull thud, Esme was instantly dizzy.

Esme was helpless; she didn’t know how to fight. Back in college, whenever she got into trouble, it was Elizabeth who fought for her. She never imagined that one day Elizabeth’s fists and slaps would be aimed at her.

Elizabeth slapped Esme hard across the face. As blood trickled from Esme’s mouth, Elizabeth slapped her again. Esme’s face turned red from the beating. She tried to raise her hand to hit back, but Elizabeth pinned her wrists, rendering her immobile.

Esme was furious and could only curse at her, “Bitch! Elizabeth, I want you dead! So what?”

“We both like Alexander, so why do you get to marry him? What’s wrong with the Russell Family? The Russell Family is one of the top four families, what is the Percy Family compared to that?” At this point, Esme became even more hysterical. “Elizabeth, I’m Esme Russell! How dare you hit me? Are you crazy?”

Elizabeth sneered. She was crazy!

With that, Elizabeth pushed Esme against the car and then grabbed her by the neck, lifting her up.

Esme’s eyes widened in shock as she felt her feet leave the ground. Elizabeth has really gone mad; is she planning to kill me? Esme thought.

“Elizabeth, murder is illegal!” she shouted.

Elizabeth squinted and said, “Illegal? Think about what you’ve done to me over the years. How long do you think you’d last in prison?”
