Elizabeth followed Zena to a small pavilion not far away. There were very few people coming and going here, especially at class time, so only two of them were there.
"Congratulations." Seeing that Elizabeth did not speak, Zena spoke first, but her words were full of jealousy and ridicule.
Elizabeth was silent for a moment, and then said blandly, "Thank you."
Hearing this, Zena's face turned a little embarrassed in an instant. She snorted coldly, "Now... are you happy in heart? Do you feel proud because Jimmy has admitted your relationship in front of so many people?"
Elizabeth glanced at Zena with displeasure, but there was no pride and joy on her face. She just said expressionlessly, "I thought the reason why you wanted to talk to me was that you had something particularly important to say. It seems that I was wrong. Miss Meng, I'm busy, too. I don't have time to stand here and listen to your meaningless nonsense. Goodbye!"
She had come here with Zena because she was uncertain in heart.
Although James had announced their relationship in front of so many people, so what? She still didn't rest assured. After all, she thought that what Zena had said to her was true. If it weren't for James's permission, how could she go to her house and say those words to her provocatively? Moreover, she had broken up with Sebastian.
Even that day, she was supposed to be happy and glad, but James left her alone. She begged him and wanted to go with him so much, but he did not agree. If it was in the past, he would not be like this.
Although Zena stayed with her at the moment and the person James was rushing to meet might not be her, she... was still unhappy.
She really had fear and insecurity. Any word said by Zena could make her have a feeling of restlessness deep in her soul.
"Do you think this is all I want to say?" Zena said mockingly, "Elizabeth, how naive you're!" After that, she shook her head and sighed.
Elizabeth frowned, "What on earth do you want to say?"
"I just want to kindly remind you that..." Zena put on a perfect smile, "As for the things he has done and the words he has said, you don't have to take them seriously. Do you understand?"
Elizabeth almost couldn't breathe, and she felt extremely sad.
But she didn't want to show her weakness in front of Zena. She smiled faintly and said sarcastically, "My husband announced the relationship between me and him in front of tens of thousands of people, and he let more people know that I am his wife. Doesn't this mean he loves me? But now, you don't want me to take it seriously?"
She took a light breath and looked at Zena with amusement, "Miss Meng, what kind of identity are you using to say these words to me?"
Zena narrowed her eyes quickly, "My identity? Jimmy's favorite woman, of course!"
Elizabeth's body trembled slightly, but she was unwilling to show weakness, "Favorite woman? Ha-ha!" She sneered, "You said that you're his favorite?"
Zena gritted her teeth. She didn't expect that Elizabeth would say these words to her. Her words were perfectly logical. She thought that she could threaten Elizabeth easily, but Elizabeth was smarter than she imagined. She really looked down on Elizabeth!
Zena lowered her eyes and thought for a while. Then she looked at Elizabeth who was a few steps away, and stared at Elizabeth's dress, saying, "If that's what you think, you're absolutely wrong."
After that, she sighed and shook her head, looking at Elizabeth with a hint of pity in her eyes, "I told you that I wouldn't go to South Lake to find you and say those words to you without Jimmy's permission. You know nothing about his love for me, and you said those words in your own shoes, so you think that you can rely on him and he loves you. You may even think that I was lying."
"Well, I'll just tell you the truth. Today, Jimmy did this just because his family put pressure on him."
Seeing that Elizabeth became silent, Zena smiled more and more brightly. She said confidently, "Uncle and auntie had a good impression on you before. This time, you really let them down and they have complaints against you. Although you didn't hold a wedding with Jimmy, you are the daughter- in- law of Lu Mansion. At least, you're still their daughter- in- law now. They know what you have done, so do you think that they will like you as before?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth clenched her fists tightly, and her heart was in a panic. What she was worried about the most... was that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would dislike her after knowing those things.
These days, her mother- in- law, who had always been concerned about her, did not call her...
However, if what Zena said was true, and they had known these things, according to her understanding of them, they would not misunderstand her at will. Even if they misunderstood her, they would call her to ask her about it.
Did they really have complaints against her?
