"He said..." Samuel coughed again, "After you return the studio back to him, you don't have to work part-time in A University anymore..." James also said that Zena was so vicious that those students would be led astray by her, but Samuel didn't say that.
Zena's expression changed immediately, "What did you say?"
"When I set up the studio, he gave me the money and helped me with everything. Now that he wants to take it back, I can give it back to him. But why does he have to be so ruthless? Does he even want to interfere with what I want to do?"
Although she decided to work part-time in A University with evil intentions, how could Jimmy interfere with her freedom?
"That's what Mr. Lu said. Miss Meng. I think it's better for you to agree."
"What?" Zena was so angry, but she wanted to laugh, "Why should I agree? You work for Jimmy, so I don't blame you, but don't you think that he has gone too far?"
"I just said that the consequence you have to bear is much less serious than what Young Madam has suffered. After all, Miss Meng, you are all right now, aren't you? You didn't suffer any harm."
Hearing this, Zena couldn't stand it anymore, "You even want to take back my studio and let me quit my part-time job, but you said that I'm all right? Is Elizabeth dead? Why do you have to do this to me?"
Hearing this, Samuel couldn't help but frown, "Miss Meng, please pay attention to your words."
Honestly speaking, he had known Zena before he knew Elizabeth, but people were always so strange. No matter Elizabeth was James's wife or not, he had a good impression of her because of her character.
Wasn't Zena the one who caused Elizabeth to be kidnapped? How could Zena say that she was wronged? Wasn't it ridiculous?
"Why should I pay attention to my words? Even if Elizabeth was kidnapped, and even if she was killed, what does it have to do with me? Was it me who asked those people to kidnap her? No, right? Even if she was kidnapped, she deserved it! It's none of my business!"
Now, I have promised to return the studio.
What else do you want me to do?"
Samuel was very unhappy. He looked at Zena and said in a hostile tone, "Now I finally understand why Mr. Lu wants to do this."
Was this woman in front of him still Zena whom he had known before? He felt that Zena had completely changed!
She did a wrong thing, but she didn't feel guilty or apologetic at all. From the beginning to the end, she hadn't even cared about Elizabeth. Instead, her words were so harsh... Was she out of her mind?
"You..." Zena was so furious that her breathing turned unsteady, "You also think it's my fault?"
Samuel didn't say a word, using his silence to answer Zena.
Zena took a deep breath, "Samuel, how many years have we known each other? Have you ever treated me as your friend?"
Zena chuckled and continued to say, "When you knew me, I had been working as a designer, right? You should know how important design is to me. But what about now? I have to start over again. Do you know what it means to me?"
"I might be too excited just now, so my words
were a little harsh. You... don't take it to heart."
Imagining the scene of Elizabeth being raped viciously by those disgusting gangsters, she felt unspeakably happy in heart.
In that case, even if Elizabeth was rescued, she would be dirty. Which noble family would want her to be their daughter-in-law?
"Thanks for your concern, Miss Meng. Although Young Madam needs to rest, generally speaking, she is fine."
"Fine? Then why is she hospitalized?" Zena smiled, "Did something else happen to her but you can't tell me?"
Before Samuel could say anything, Zena asked again, "Samuel, I know this is a private matter of Jimmy's family. But you just said that I drank too much and made a mistake. I'm guilty after hearing this news. It's reasonable for me to care about them because I've known Jimmy for so many years, right? Did something bad... happen to Elizabeth?"
Samuel only felt angry when he heard that, "You... hope that something bad can happen to Young Madam, don't you?" Why was Zena so eager? Although she looked concerned on the surface, her actions were disgusting.
Zena smiled unnaturally, "How can you misunderstand me? I care about Elizabeth."
Samuel pursed his lips, "Don't worry. Young Madam is very healthy. She is not injured, and there is no any other reason. She is in the hospital because she was frightened, and she needs to have a rest to nourish her baby."
Zena widened her eyes in shock, "What... did you say?"
Samuel didn't bother to say much to her, "By the way, I haven't finished what I wanted to say. You don't have to start your career all over again, because Mr. Lu said that you'd be better not work in the design circle again, otherwise... I've said what I should say. I'm leaving."
"Hey! You..."
