"It's okay. I'll bike for two hours when I get back and burn off everything I eat. What's the point of coming here otherwise?" Olivia responded, grabbing two more pieces.
Elvira laughed. She grabbed two pieces of cake. The two found a place to sit down and chatted while eating.
There was a commotion at the entrance. Many people gathered there. Elvira looked, but her view was blocked "What's happening" Elvira hadn't been to a party for many years and didn't know so she asked Olivia.
"They're just hounds who caught a scent. Some big shot just arrived and they're rushing to suck up to him." Olivia pursed her lips and continued eating. She only cared about food.
Elvira wasn't interested either. She continued eating. Sensing someone staring, Elvira looked up but didn't see anyone familiar. She went back to eating.
Zach was escorted into the hall by bodyguards. He found where Elvira was sitting and saw her eating. He smiled. Spikey walked up to Zach and led him upstairs.
"Zach, didn't you say you aren't free? Why did you change your mind suddenly?" Spike asked. Zach had only notified him an hour ago that he was coming.
"I only just found out my wife was coming. Zach replied indifferently.
"What?" Spike's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what he just heard.Content held by Nôdaisynovel.com.
Finally seeing the usual poker-faced Spike shocked, Zach patted Spike's shoulder and walked to the window to look at Elvira, Spike also came up and followed Zach's gaze. He recognized Elvira. Elvira didn't seem outstanding. How did she snag Zach? Just then, Stacy rushed over and shouted at Elvira. "Elvira, you thief. Give me back the ring you stole.
Olivia looked at the crazy woman and asked, "Are you mistaken? Elvira was with me the whole time. How could she steal from you?"
Everyone heard the commotion and looked over. They stepped back from Elvira, seemingly afraid their things would be stolen too.
Judy walked over and grabbed Stacy. "Stacy, let's do this at home. Don't make a scene here."
Elvira watched them and calmly wiped her mouth with a napkin. Her voice was cold. "Do you have any evidence? Otherwise, I can sue you for slander."
"That's right. Do you think you can simply accuse people like that?" Olivia stood up angrily, glaring coldly at Stacy.
"You must have it. Let me search you. I'm sure I'll find it. Or don't you dare?" Stacy raised her chin. She was sure Elvira would let her do it. Then, Stacy could strip Elvira's clothes off and humiliate her.
"Elvira, you better let Stacy search you. It'll prove your innocence, Judy urged Elvira anxiously.
Elvira found them ridiculous. "Why should I? I can also claim you stole my diamond ring worth over two million dollars, and demand you let me search you."
"Please, Elvira, can you afford that? You've been a thief ever since you were little. You also seduced your teachers. I wouldn't accuse others because they aren't habitual thief like you, Stacy shouted. She wanted everyone to know how shameless Elvira Was
Judy almost laughed out loud hearing Stacy spill Elvira's misdeeds before the rich and influential. She wished Stacy could say
more.
The others stepped back and looked at Elvira disdainfully.
Olivia shook with anger. She wanted to rip the bitch Stacy apart. Elvira stopped her and walked to Stacy first. She slapped Stacy hard. Stacy was shocked. She didn't expect the usually submissive Elvira to dare to hit her.

"Why don't you reflect on why I hit you instead of others?" Elvira turned to the crowd and asked, "If I grab anyone here and accuse you of stealing and demand a search, what would you do? Just because someone is making a fuss doesn't mean they're right. I believe everyone here is because they're kind. Hopefully, you're discerning too." Elvira stood proudly and nobly. Her voice was powerful and resonated in everyone's hearts.
Everyone imagined themselves in her shoes and felt furious. They looked at Stacy differently. Whoever encountered someone like Stacy was indeed unfortunate.
Olivia stepped out too. "That's right. She has no evidence. If we let her search because she says so, it'll be messed up." Stacy wanted to hit Elvira back but Judy stopped her. "Don't forget where you are. Don't make a scene anymore." The media. was present and Elvira had the upper hand. If they captured Judy with Stacy, Judy would be embarrassed.
Elvira had changed. Since Elvira was ditched by Calvin, she seemed beyond their control. This couldn't go on. They had to keep Elvira under their thumb,
Stacy burst out louder than ever, "Even if I don't have evidence today, Elvira, it's a fact that you've been stealing since young. It's true that you seduce teachers and bully your classmates. There's evidence for those. Why shouldn't I suspect you? Are you not worthy of suspicion?"
