Elizabeth didn't notice that George was there. She kept talking. "Sydney's boyfriend runs a big company. That big company is..."
Elizabeth frowned as someone drew her sleeve. She looked at the man who had interrupted her.
But she turned sullen when she saw George.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!"
She withdrew her hand, looked at the impatient relatives who were sitting on the sofa, and continued, "His company is a listed company, and..."
George dragged her sleeve again, and Elizabeth was unhappy.
She glared at George and yelled, "What the hell are you trying to do?"
It was unpleasant that her boasting was interrupted.
She was mad!
George ignored Elizabeth's madness and said to the relatives, "I have to talk to her about something."
He dragged Elizabeth out to the balcony.
Elizabeth was angry, but she could tell that George was serious.
Something was obviously up.
Elizabeth shook off George's hand and straightened her wrinkled fur. She said, "What do you want to say? Say it now. You've ruined my expensive fur!"
Her voice was filled with displeasure.
George was used to Elizabeth and was not angry at all. He said anxiously, "I just got a call from our son-in-law. He asked me for Sydney's phone number. He..."
"Is that Sydney's boyfriend?"
Elizabeth interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. Her eyes lit up with eagerness.
In her eyes, only Sydney's boyfriend was her son-in-law, and Olivia's was not.
Hearing Elizabeth's words, George lost his patience. "No!"
"It's Brayden. Olivia's husband!"
Elizabeth's face turned gloomy in an instant, and her eyes were filled with disdain. "It's him?"
George said, "He asked Sydney's phone number. It seemed that he was anxious. I think something might happen to him."
Elizabeth frowned. "Brayden asked Sydney's number?"
Elizabeth realized something.
"Yes! He asked Sydney's number!"
Finally, it was clear.
Elizabeth stopped talking. Her brows drew together, and confusion rose in her eyes.
Why did Brayden ask Sydney's number? She didn't think that Brayden knew Sydney.
But soon, Elizabeth thought of something and said, "No! Olivia must have done something!"
Otherwise, why would Brayden want Sydney's number?
As Elizabeth spoke, she picked up her phone and called Olivia.
George heard what she said and looked at her expression anxiously.
He didn't tell Elizabeth that Olivia asked him about Sydney a few days ago.
Now that Elizabeth said that, he had a hunch that he was in trouble.
It seemed that he shouldn't have told Olivia.
"Bitch, why don't you answer the phone!"
Elizabeth hung up and called again.
It was out of her expectation that Olivia not answer her phone. Elizabeth was so angry!
But no matter how angry she was, no one answered the phone.
Elizabeth became furious, but she kept thinking. Suddenly, she hung up the phone and called Sydney instead.
Sydney had long gone down the mountain.
Her phone was with her.
The phone suddenly rang and scared Sydney. She shuddered, and her feet slipped. She fell on her butt.
