She Got A Better Man

Chapter

26

Stacy looked at Elvira threateningly, just like how she used to bully Elvira before. Elvira could only endure it then.

The guests now realized they were cousins. How could a cousin falsely accuse another of stealing publicly? It was an eye- opener.

"It's my bad luck to have you as my cousin. Sir, I don't see it as a joke. She wants to ruin my reputation in front of everyone. Please go with the law, Elvira stated firmly, her eyes determined.

"Elvira!" Stacy glared at Elvira as though she had committed a heinous crime.

"Elvira, we're family. Let's settle this privately. We can't let the police arrest Stacy, Judy spoke for the bigger picture.

Some people thought Judy made sense. Everyone knew not to air dirty laundry in public. Although Elvira was wrongly accused, her actions didn't align with mainstream values.

"Family? When she accused me of stealing just now, did you say that? You wanted me to apologize publicly. If I listened, what would happen? You're a celebrity, aren't you? Do your fans know you've double standards?" Elvira didn't care about her family and exposed Judy's hypocrisy.

The crowd realized Judy had asked for an apology just now without mentioning settling in private. Judy even seemed afraid the apology wasn't sufficient. It was clear she had been stirring things up and pretending now.

Judy's face went red. She wanted to defend herself but Elvira continued, "How many times have I been falsely accused? You and your mother should know. After all, how good do you expect a mistress like her to be? She abuses legitimate children like

1. me.

Tonight's attendees were from the upper echelons of society. Elvira wanted to see how Judy and her mother could handle being exposed like that.

Judy never thought Elvira dared to say that. Her face went pale. She could sense the crowd pointing fingers and looking at her with disgust. She couldn't bear it.

Someone remarked, "Her mother is a mistress? I thought she was a real socialite. Turns out she's only the daughter of a

mistress."

Another commented, "She and her mother had been in the circle for many years but nobody knew she was initially a mistress. She must have her ways. No wonder the legitimate children didn't fare well"

A third voice added, "I'm stunned. I even ate lunch with her mother. I'll have to avoid her. It won't do to hang out with them."

Judy almost burst into tears. She hated Elvira to the core. She had upholded an image of a wealthy socialite for years only to be ruined by Elvira. She wished Elvira would just shut up.

"Elvira, that's too much. Your father married Judy's mother after divorcing your mother. Stop misleading everyone." Calvin felt guilty toward Judy and stood up for Judy.

"Calvin, you dumbass. My parents divorced when I was ten. Does she look eleven years younger than me?" Elvira looked at them with disgust.

Elvira was twenty-four and Judy was around her age.

"That's because..." Clavin wanted to continue but Judy covered his mouth and said, "Calvin, my head hurts. Can we leave?"

Judy was scared out of her wits. Explaining would only make things worse. She was terrified that Elvira would tell everyone she stole Calvin from her. Then, Judy would never prove herself innocent. Calvin glared at Elvira and left with Judy.

Elvira didn't plan on exposing Judy today. She would choose a grand opportunity for that. Today was still too small a scene.

As for Calvin, Elvira now realized he was not only scum, he also had no morals. He sided with the mistress. She had been blind to regard Calvin as precious. Luckily, she realized it now.

"Are you shameless, Elvira? How can you treat me and Judy this way? Grandma will skin you alive when she returns," Stacy

shouted.

Elvira couldn't be bothered to argue with Stacy. She turned to the police officers. "Please punish her accordingly. If not, she may do worse next time. "Don't worry, Ms. Willis. We will, the police reassured before taking Stacy away.

Stacy was still cursing. The guests shook their heads, remarking on her upbringing. But then, what did they expect of a family who allowed mistresses in? Zach had watched the whole thing and instructed his bodyguards to give Stacy a hard time on the way.

The police car got into an accident. Everyone was fine but Stacy ended up with a bloody face and a few teeth missing. She was too scared to even cry.

With the situation resolved, people began to leave. Elvira approached the organizer. "Thanks for today. Can I meet your boss? I'd like to thank him personally. Although Elvira would eventually erase the shame her family had imposed on her, she was grateful to the organizer.

"You're welcome, Ms. Willis. Our boss said you're our most esteemed guest, and this is what we should do. However, our boss isn't free now, the organizer said politely as he escorted Olivia and Elvira out

Olivia went to get the car, but a car stopped before Elvira. Zach got out and opened the door for her.

Elvira was pleasantly surprised. "Why're you here?"

"I happened to pass by on my way home from work, so I came to pick you up." Zach gently rubbed her head. "Get in. It's cold." SEND OFF
