"Yes..." Elizabeth answered after a long while, looking at the man with some trepidation.
Unexpectedly, the man changed his attitude and grinned, "It's really you! Elizabeth, when did you return to the town?"
"You..." Elizabeth was immediately stunned.
The man in front of her was burly with a beer belly, with some beards on his face.
She didn't know him!
But he seemed to know her.
The man cleared his throat, and then said, "In junior school, who did sit behind you and like to pull your ponytail?"
"Lewis?" Elizabeth was stunned.
Lewis nodded and grinned, with a mouthful of yellow teeth and a fat face.
Elizabeth's eyes suddenly widened.
When she was in junior high school, Lewis was a fat man. She didn't expect him to become such a vicious look now.
Since they were junior high school classmate, maybe it would be some favorable turn.
Elizabeth pointed at James and Bonnie very embarrassingly, and said to Lewis, "I am actually their daughter..."
"Aren't you surnamed Lawrence? Why did you become the daughter of Rees family?" Lewis changed his wicked manner just now, and his tone was gentle.
Elizabeth smiled bitterly, "This is a long story. Can you get us some time? My parents and I are really forced to do nothing."
"Elizabeth, even if I can let you guys go this time, you know I’m working for my boss and responsible for collecting debts. If you don't repay the money, there will be others to come to you guys!" Lewis said helplessly.
"We will definitely pay back the money. Trust me!" Elizabeth said firmly.
Lewis looked at Elizabeth seriously. He winked at several people around him. Then they planned to leave the hotel.
But before leaving, Lewis glanced at Elizabeth again and said, "You and your parents would better find a way to pay off the debt as soon as possible! Otherwise, if my boss finds that I spare you guys this time, he will send others to come to you. At that time, you guys may be worse off!"
Hearing that, Elizabeth’s face turned pale. She nodded, and then silently walked these people out. When she turned around, Bonnie had already threw herself down in James's arms and wept bitterly.
Seeing this, Elizabeth was heartbroken and called Anthony.
"Brother, arrange a blind date for me!"
After hearing Elizabeth's words, James and Bonnie were stunned at the same time and looked at Elizabeth.
If getting married could bring stability to her parents, she could get married.
Elizabeth looked at James and Bonnie with red eyes. While distressing them, she also felt unfair for her own destiny.
She really had no choice but to do this.
James and Bonnie looked at each other, sighing.
Elizabeth knew that they couldn’t accept her as their daughter so soon. Even if she was their biological daughter, she was not raised by them, so they would feel a little weird.
Elizabeth could only be considerate of James and Bonnie, but she forgot that no one would be considerate of herself.
A few days later...
In the General Manager’s office in DL Estate of Lengs Group.
Right now, Lily felt that it would be better for herself to confess the ins and outs of the matter frankly, so as not to harm others.
Lily told Hugo about Elizabeth's plagiarism of Sunny's design drawings. She also said that Elizabeth felt shameless and offered to resign by herself.
After Hugo listened, he patted the desk angrily and asked Lily to call everyone in the design department to the conference room, especially Sunny.
After everyone in the design department arrived, Hugo took the design drawing and put it under the projector, holding the laser pointer, pointing to the decorative border pattern of a cabinet in the design drawing on the projection screen, and questioning Sunny in public, "Excuse me, Miss Sunny, what do you mean by designing these four sets of patterns on the edge of the cabinet?"
"I, I... searched the patterns on the Internet. I think it looks pretty. It fits on the edge of the cabinet..." Sunny stood at the conference table with her head down, muttering.
Hugo sneered and explained to everyone calmly, "These four sets of patterns are the totems of Miao ethnic group. It means good luck and wealth."
"That's what I meant!" Sunny smiled awkwardly.
Hugo added, "This set of patterns is not available on the Internet. Because this is an ancient totem of Miao ethnic group, designed and innovated by Elizabeth."
"What?!"
"What?"
Suddenly, in the conference room, everyone was shocked.
"Lily, you can see Elizabeth's resume and check if Elizabeth is from Miao ethnic group." Hugo said indignantly.
Only then did Lily remember this matter. She didn't need to check the resume.
She remembered that Elizabeth was indeed from Miao ethnic group.
"Miss Sunny, I would like to ask you again. What are these uneven and irregular dots on the pedals of the ladder for?" Hugo asked again.
