She Got A Better Man

Despite Elvira's insistence that she was feeling better, Zach was still concerned, and he insisted on carrying her to the intensive care unit where his grandmother was admitted.

Upon entering the intensive care unit, Elvira immediately noticed Zach's secretary, Sherry. She stood up from her chair and greeted Zach, "Mr. Gilbert. Your grandmother's condition is stable at the moment."

Zach spoke in a cool and detached tone as he addressed Sherry. "Alright, you can make the first move," he said. After speaking with Sherry, Zach gently lowered Elvira onto the plush sofa and ensured she was comfortably seated before stepping back. Yes, Mr. Gilbert." Sherry nodded in acknowledgment and left.

Elvira looked at Mrs. Gilbert as she lay peacefully in the hospital bed. Though Mrs. Gilbert hadn't regained consciousness, the nurses of the intensive care unit assured Elvira that her condition was stable.

"Aren't you treating your secretary too coldly? Does she work well with you?" Elvira asked, curious about Zach and Sherry's working relationship.

Besides Zach's cold attitude, Elvira also noticed that Sherry was showing excessive respect towards Zach despite him being only a mid-tier staff, which was weird.

"Ms. Johnson is a competent secretary, highly efficient, and great at her job," Zach said primly. Sherry was Zach's only female secretary in his Secretary's Office. He usually worked with male assistants, but he found Sherry highly capable and had no ulterior motives, so he hired her as his secretary.

After hearing Zach's reply, Elvira did not think much about it. As she gazed at him, taking in his prim and proper appearance and mannerisms, she couldn't help but recall the intimate moments they had spent alone together. It was then that she noticed how drastically different he could be, and she struggled to reconcile the two versions of him in her mind entirely.

Tracy finally regained consciousness at night. Zach and Elvira entered the ward in full protective gear, spoke to her, and left shortly after.

After returning to the Willis family, Karen sat in the living room while a servant carefully applied a cold compress to her swollen face. Meanwhile, Amber was seated beside her, looking distraught and tearful as she recounted what Elvira had done recently.

During the conversation, Amber brought up the topic of Elvira's surprising marriage. She proceeded to recount a story about Elvira's violent tendencies, as well as her conflict with Perry Bacchus. Amber also mentioned how Elvira had publicly exposed that she was the mistress who broke up a family. As for her one-night stand with Perry Bacchus, Amber did not dare to talk about it even though she was set up by Elvira, for that matter.

"Mom, I didn't want to talk about all these initially. I thought Elvira would change for the better, but unfortunately, she has become even worse and is now disrespecting you. It hurts me to see this." Li Muyun looked distressed as she spoke.

Karen had a grim expression as she exclaimed, "The audacity she had!"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Mom, nobody in our circle wants to be associated with me anymore. I'm getting old, so it doesn't matter to me. But you must do something for Judy and Calvin! You must not let Elvira continue to smear Judy's reputation further." Amber wiped her tears as she continued, "Judy's movie is set to be released soon, and it's a project that we have invested a lot of money in. If Elvira starts spreading rumors that Judy is the third party in her previous relationship... it could create negative publicity for the movie, ultimately resulting in significant financial losses on our part." Amber highlighted issues with Elvira, hoping that Karen would take action to deal with Elvira.

Judy went up to Karen with tears streaming down her face. "Grandma, I'm sorry! I fell in love with Calvin, knowing I shouldn't have. But it was something that I couldn't control. We just naturally got together."

"It's not your fault. The blame lies solely on Elvira for being so unlikable. No man would like a girl as stubborn as her. I promise to take care of this problem once and for all, and I won't let Elvira tarnish your reputation again," Karen said firmly as she held Judy's hands. Karen had never liked the two children of Rowena Smart. As a son of the family, Marsh should have been the one to inherit the household. However, he was terrible at his studies and was addicted to gaming, and he wouldn't listen, no matter how much people tried to persuade him.

Unlike the rest of her siblings, Judy was an exceptional child. She was always respectful and excelled in her studies. After her marriage to Calvin Kennedy, their two families could join forces to expand their businesses to greater heights. Hence, Karen was convinced that Judy was the perfect heir to the Willis family.

Elvira received a call from a colleague who asked her about something at work and asked her to come back to the office.

"I have resigned from the company, so I will not be returning to the office. All the items you asked about are inside the drawer at my desk. I will send the key to the office via courier so you can access them and deal with it yourself." Elvira had no plans to return to the company. As for the resignation procedures mentioned by the human resources department, she had decided not to go about doing it either.

Working at the company was a ploy the Willis family used to control her. But since she no longer cares, nothing they said would sway her anymore.

As soon as Elvira hung up the phone, she walked into a nearby dessert shop. After some deliberation, she picked out a few cakes, handed over some cash, and left the shop with a small box of desserts. Just as she was about to call Zach, she noticed a sneaky figure who seemed to be following her. "The Willis family is everywhere," she muttered to herself, her brow furrowing in frustration.

Elvira started walking and saw an alleyway on her right in front of her. When she reached the entrance to the alley, she quickly ran into it, and the person following her did the same.

An ear-piercing scream reverberated through the alleyway. Elvira had subdued the person following her and dislocated the man's shoulder. She said coldly, "Tell those in the Willis family that I will slowly settle the scores with them! Just wait and see me do it!" "Oh my god, Elvira! Let me go! I am not from the Willis family!" The man cried out loud.

Elvira was taken aback and quickly turned the man around to face her. He was tall and handsome and looked vaguely familiar.

"Elvira, I am Samson Lawson." Samson cried. "Zach had warned me not to look for you for fear of scaring you, so I secretly came to see what you looked like. I swear I am telling the truth," Samson explained anxiously, tears still on his face.

Elvira remained silent and took a moment to collect her thoughts. Finally, she remembered that this man was with Zach when they previously met in a hotel.

Elvira gradually let go of her grasp on the man's neck and slowly lowered it to his arms. Samson cringed in pain and shouted, "Elvira, please. My hand... it's broken! Let me go!"

"Save me, Zach. I should have listened to you," Samson shouted as if his words could reach Zach.

"Try moving your arm. It should be alright now." Elvira gazed at the weeping man before her, amused but unsure if she should laugh.

Samson's sobbing came to an abrupt halt as he tried to move his arms. Despite the excruciating pain he felt earlier, he no

longer felt it.

"I'm so sorry. I've been in a bit of a special situation lately, so I'm extra sensitive to people who show up unexpectedly. That's why when I saw you, I thought you were someone sent by the Willis family." Elvira paused momentarily, continuing. "But I realize now that I was mistaken, so I'm sorry for hurting you."

"It's alright. It's not your fault," said Samson, his face flushed with embarrassment as he scratched his head nervously. "I'm sorry for following you secretly like that. I know it wasn't right, but I had to resort to this method since Zach refused to introduce us officially." Through his short encounter with Elvira, he can finally grasp why Zach, who had always been aloof around women, had fallen head over heels in love with her.

"The desserts you just bought are ruined. Let's return to the shop. You can choose and take whatever you like, and I will pay for it." Samson enthusiastically pulled her towards the dessert shop again.

After Samson paid for the desserts, he insisted on driving Elvira back to the hospital. Elvira couldn't refuse his offer, so she got into his cool-looking sports car.

As they pulled up to the hospital, Samson opened the car door for Elvira. She stepped out of the car and turned to thank him for the lift. As Elvira was about to step inside the hospital, a woman rushed towards her with an angry expression on her face.

As the woman drew her hand back to slap Elvira, the latter reacted with lightning-like reflexes and caught the woman's hand mid-air. Elvira looked straight into the stranger's eyes, her voice laced with anger and disbelief, "What do you think you're doing? Are you mad?"
