Both Elizabeth and Beverly had ugly expressions on their faces.
The surrounding guests all pretended to drink and watch the scenery, but their attention was all on this side.
"The kid that Miss Alice taught are just just so so, and she even told the child to crawl on the ground. Do you know how many times a day we wash Holly's tableware?" Elizabeth said coldly, her tone full of disdain.
"The child could not be spoiled."
Beverly did not like it when people said something that hurt others, but she disliked it when people said something wrong about Elizabeth.
When she thought about how Elizabeth had imprisoned her daughter for half a year, she felt even more uncomfortable.
"William was raised by me, and now he is the CEO of the N.E. Just saw your daughter and son." Elizabeth said, but she suddenly thought of something, and spoke with a tone of hostility, "Let's not talk about your daughter.Your son can not get on the table."
"What do you mean?"
Beverly stood up angrily after hearing what she said, and asked while staring at Elizabeth.
"Mother!" Alice spoke as she walked towards Beverly. She reached out her hand to grab her arm and said, "Mother, please take a seat. The ball will begin soon."
Under the afterglow of the dusk, Beverly looked at her own daughter. She understood that she was in a difficult situation, so she did not make a sound, bent down, and sat down.
Elizabeth glanced at them indifferently, before her gaze landed on the Kathy within the baby carriage.
Seeing the Kathy, Elizabeth's gaze softened, and she extended her hand out to pull the baby carriage over, and seeing that, Alice immediately held down the baby carriage.
This action was completely subconscious and she did not think anything.
It was an innate nurturing mentality.
Alice looked at Elizabeth, and Elizabeth also looked at her. Her eyes were somewhat cold, and she lowered her voice, "What, I can't even look at my own granddaughter now?"
"Of course."
Alice came back to reality and slowly released her hand.
Elizabeth did not do anything to them.
Elizabeth wanted to pull the baby carriage over, but Beverly, who was extremely close to the Kathy, pulled the baby carriage back. She reached out and hugged Kathy out of the car, her face full of love.
Elizabeth's expression was serene as she attempted to stand up. Alice reached out her hand and pressed down on her shoulders, making her seem intimate but secretly exerting strength for Elizabeth to sit.
The surrounding Guests looked at them, either intentionally or unintentionally.
"What do you want?" Elizabeth was pushed down onto the chair, a look of awkwardness flashing past her eyes.
Alice was getting bolder and bolder.
Alice bent her body and smiled as she leaned her face close to her ear, appearing to be very intimate and harmonious, yet her mouth still said, "If you had sincerely come today to fix the problem with William, I think he would be happy. But you bringing Mona over here has already displeased him once, and I won't let him be unhappy twice."
She wouldn't let anyone start a ruckus at this birthday party.
"Are you indicating that I am a wicked mother?"
Elizabeth asked coldly.
"William is someone that we all want to protect. You want to strangle my heart in so many ways,but why are you doing it today? Instead of doing all this, why don't you think of a way to cure William's illness? " Alice said softly, her hand not light nor heavy as she placed it on her shoulder.
When had Elizabeth ever been suppressed to speak like this? Deep awkwardness immediately flashed past her face.
But very quickly, Elizabeth returned back to normal, following along with her, she looked at her and smiled: "Since it's like this, then we shouldn't miss a test."
After saying that, Elizabeth's leg that was hidden under the noble woman's skirt fiercely stomped onto Alice's foot.
The pointed heel plunged into her foot.
"..."
Alice's face instantly paled and she almost fell to the ground.
Guests in the courtyard didn't notice the scene that was hidden under the expensive skirt ,and stood around chatting.
Elizabeth sat on the chair and looked at Alice provocatively.
"Madam, I love William more than myself."
Alice forced herself to endure the pain as she spoke each word from her lips.
Alice bent her body, her face extremely close to Elizabeth's.
Elizabeth looked at the perseverance in her eyes, saw that her lips were trembling from the pain she enduring, and suddenly felt that what she had done was meaningless,and it was even meant to be disrespectful to her.
It was as if at this moment, all the grace she possessed had vanished.
Elizabeth slowly retracted her leg, her face indifferent.
Alice's feet had survived. She heaved a sigh of relief, but it seemed that Mrs.Cullen and her mother would not be able to fight anymore. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Elizabeth's slightly low voice sounded out from beside her, "Holy is staying at the hotel. After the ball ends, find an excuse to go and take a look.
Hearing this, Alice looked at her in shock, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
This was her son firstly, but now she had to thank her for every single time she saw him.
"Don't call William. With his personality, he knows that Holy is here and will definitely rob. He will definitely break off all ties with Cullen family. When that happens, my husband will definitely get angry, and will no longer care about William's sickness. " Elizabeth said in a low voice, so that Alice could only hear her.
Alice nodded, "I understand, Madam."
Alice left Elizabeth's side and stepped on Alice's back hard. It was so painful that it felt like she was walking on the edge of a blade.
She forced herself not to let anyone see what was happening.
Being a little further away from the crowd, Alice was in so much pain that she couldn't even reach the entrance of the castle. She could only look for a quiet place to stop and sit on the bench.
When the skirt was pulled apart, Alice saw that there was blood flowing out of the white leather shoes on her feet.
