In the next two days, the "black- hearted creditor" didn't send Evelyn any more messages. At first, she was a little worried, but she was soon relieved.
Even if that man was really not easy to deal with, but... that night, when Frederick sent her back to school, he said to her, "Aunt, no matter what trouble you encounter, don't forget that you still have me and my uncle."
When she heard that, she was so touched that she almost burst into tears. There were still so many good people in the world! Even Frederick could say such warm words, which really moved her.
She really had a backer!
However, afterward, when Benjamin gave Frederick a lesson, he really regretted saying those domineering words.
On Friday, they must go back to school to attend a class in the afternoon.
Seeing Zena step into the classroom with the textbook in her arms, Evelyn whispered to Elizabeth with a smile, "Miss Meng seems to have changed a new dress today. She's really beautiful."
Elizabeth was amused, "You observe her so carefully that you've almost become her fan."
"Isn't it just?" Evelyn raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "I had nothing to do two days ago, so I searched Miss Meng on the Internet. By the way, you're so close to each other, so you should know that Miss Meng set up a studio on her own and established her own design brand, right? She's famous in the design circle, and she's really something!"
"Really?"
"You are really not a qualified sister-in-law! Didn't your husband tell you?"
Elizabeth shook her head, "He's so busy all day, so how could he have time to tell me these things? However, it seems that Zena is really capable." Although she was not satisfied with what Zena said that day, she admired Zena's ability and current achievements.
"Yeah." Evelyn nodded and said, "So, it's so good to be rich. I heard that Miss Meng's family is very wealthy. Although she is very capable, it will be very difficult for her to get such achievements without her family."
Elizabeth glanced at her, "Why do I feel that your words are a little jealous? What's wrong with you today?"
Evelyn snorted angrily, "I'm not jealous! I'm not talking about the most common phenomenon nowadays. You and Miss Meng seem to have a good relationship. You can communicate with her more frequently, and you will make rapid progress. Maybe you will have your own brand soon. At that time, I will gain some advantage from you. Ha-ha."
As soon as Evelyn finished speaking, she frowned again and shook her head, "No! Liang Company is so big, and you can have your own brand at will!" As she said this, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It seems that you're more awesome than her! You even have a powerful husband. Come on! Tell me, what did you do in your last life so that you can be lucky this life?"
When Elizabeth was about to speak, Zena coughed lightly on the podium and said, "It's time for class, my dear students. So, don't whisper until the class is over. What do you think?"
Evelyn and Elizabeth looked at each other, smiled, and then stopped talking.
Zena glanced around the classroom and look at Elizabeth's direction meaningfully in the end. Then she said with a smile, "Okay, let's have a roll call now."
Zena held forth after the bell had rung for almost half an hour.
After the class, Evelyn looked at the time, "Let's go. Your husband has called you so many times." She said as she packed up the books, "Hey, didn't you say that he was going to pick you up? Now he's probably at school, isn't he?"
Elizabeth smiled shyly, "Yes, he may have arrived."
"Oh, is that so?" Zena kept smiling, "Alright, you can go ahead and do your own things."
Was she asking Evelyn to leave in a mild and roundabout way?
Evelyn looked at Elizabeth and then glanced at Zena who was looking at her with a smile. Then she said with an embarrassed smile, "Okay, Miss Meng, you can talk. I'll go first. Elizabeth, see you another day!"
"Hey..."
Before Elizabeth finished her words, Zena said, "Elizabeth, let's have a drink together."
Facing Zena, Elizabeth always felt a little uneasy. Moreover, James said that he would come to pick her up. She thought for a moment and refused her politely, "No, thank you, Zena. Let's have a drink next time."
Hearing this, the smile in Zena's eyes faded a little. She pursed his lips and then looked back to see if there was anyone behind her. After making sure that there was no one around, she hesitated and asked, "Elizabeth, we were... close before, weren't we? Last time, we even had dinner together. If you refuse me now..." Her eyes darkened a little, "Does it mean that you're angry because I brought a meal to Jimmy that day?"
Elizabeth didn't expect Zena to ask it so directly. She was a little stunned and denied, "No. You think too much."
"Then... will you accompany me today? Let's have a meal together, and then have a drink. Xavier has been busy recently, and I am quite bored."
"Zena." Elizabeth felt a little embarrassed and frowned slightly. Even though she didn't mind what had happened that day, she couldn't promise Zena because James would come to pick her up, "Sorry, Zena, I really can't agree with you. I have an appointment today."
Zena gave a stiff smile, "With Jimmy?"
