Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 798

Elizabeth came out of the small supermarket at the foot of the apartment building with her cell phone in hand. She had just hung up the call from her aunt, and her expression was downcast.

"Is she Elizabeth Jones?"

"It seems to be her. Why is she here?"

"Isn't she Richard's girlfriend? Why is she dressed so sloppily and coming out without putting on any makeup?"

"Is she carrying instant noodles? Oh my god, Richard's real girlfriend actually eats instant noodles? This is so funny."

Elizabeth was immersed in her own thoughts, and did not realize that a group of people were already behind her, pointing and talking to her.

A few girls who looked like they were rich ran over mischievously and intentionally hit Elizabeth.

As Elizabeth was thinking about her aunt, she was caught completely off guard.

After getting knocked against heavily, she threw herself forward, and the things in her hand bag rolled out as well. Two bags of instant noodles, two bags of frozen dumplings, and a few bags of snacks, all of them fell out of the bag.

Elizabeth herself was also sprawled on the ground, her long hair in disarray, looking extremely miserable and panicked.

"Quick, take her photos!" However, the mischievous girls were very pleased with themselves and excited. They all took out their phones and watched Elizabeth's flustered expression as if she was in a video.

"Don't shoot, what are you doing?" It was not that the other party was careless, it was that they had deliberately knocked her down, and wanted to laugh at her. Therefore, she got up in anger, wanting to hit their phones, but unfortunately, she couldn't grab their phones. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

It was only then that Elizabeth realized that it wasn't just those few repulsive girls that were teasing her, there were also so many people surrounding her, pointing and talking about her.

"Oh my god, she only eats instant noodles? Did Richard Hughes abandon her?"

"I knew she wouldn't really climb onto Richard's body. She might have already been kicked by him."

Elizabeth's hair was in a mess, her expression was pale and haggard, looking pitiful. She turned and ran towards the apartment building, she did not even want to retrieve the things that she had bought.

Shame and panic.

Elizabeth ran into the elevator in one breath, her fingers pressing down on the buttons on the elevator rapidly, afraid that someone else would come in and see her miserable look.

Fortunately, the elevator door had closed.

Elizabeth seemed to heave a sigh of relief as she leaned her back against the wall and stared at the elevator with a dull gaze.

Her heart was filled with fear and helplessness.

She already knew that after entangling herself with Richard Hughes, her life would never return to where it started.

After returning home, Elizabeth covered her face, tears flowing through the gaps of her fingers. She never thought that there would be someone so detestable to bully her.

So what if she eats instant noodles?

She was hungry, shouldn't she buy something to eat?

Elizabeth cried silently for a while before realizing that her stomach was hurting again. When she opened the refrigerator, there was nothing inside, not even a bottle of water.

She finally bought some food, but threw it away.

A few minutes later, a video of Elizabeth Jones falling down and the instant dumplings and instant noodles rolling beside her appeared on the internet. Her panicked and uneasy look and her pale and haggard face was extremely pitiful.

This video quickly became a hot topic of discussion for the netizens.

Just then, Richard was sitting in his office, drinking coffee. He had called Big Bro and told him about finding April Jones, and Edward told him to calm down.

Regarding this matter, he had to discuss it with his grandmother before making his decision.

Richard was still very angry. Even though April Jones had an expression of sincere apology, the damage she caused to the Hughes Family was not something that could be mended.

Suddenly, his assistant knocked on the door and came in. With an anxious expression, she said, "Boss, there's a video on the internet. I'm sure you want to watch it."

"Whose?" Richard frowned, his expression cold and gloomy.

"It belongs to Miss Jones!" As the assistant spoke, he placed the IPAD in front of him and opened the video.

Richard watched the entire video coldly, and when he saw her terrified and helpless big eyes looking at the camera, his heart trembled slightly.

"Boss, what's going on with Miss Jones?"

"She can't be intentionally trying to ruin your reputation, right? Just look at what she's doing. The entire internet is talking about her." The assistant immediately complained on the side. She felt that Elizabeth, as a semi-public figure, could actually travel so lightly, and even bought such cheap food.

Right now, she had not only ruined her reputation, but had also implicated her boss.

What Richard was concerned with, however, was not this. Honestly speaking, at that instant just now, he was truly shocked by Elizabeth's pair of helpless eyes.

Once, she was a person who feared nothing, who was so bold that even she did not fear him. Her life was very calm, very real, if she wanted to say something, she did not need to dodge.

"I'm leaving for a while!" Richard suddenly threw the IPAD on the table, picked up the suit jacket and car key, without explaining anything to the assistant, he strode outside.

Seeing that the boss was in a hurry and his steps were hurried, the assistant was surprised. Why didn't the boss order them to do this public relations matter immediately?

Richard drove the sportscar absentmindedly, heading straight for the low grade apartment that Elizabeth was in.

Was there a need for this woman to make herself look like a refugee?

Didn't he give her millions?

Wasn't she supposed to take the money and go abroad to enjoy the sunshine and the beach?

Why was she still in that run-down place?

Give people the chance to bully her?

Richard's thoughts were messy and complicated, even he himself did not realize why he had such a vexed thought.

However, the thing that could not be forgotten was the panic and evasion Elizabeth had when she was facing the camera. It was as if she was already a person who could not see the light of day, a person who needed to live in the darkness.

Is it because of him?

Richard's sportscar stopped in front of the apartment building. Richard took his sunglasses and mask and quickly got off the car.

He knew about Elizabeth's residence, so he directly rushed over.

Arriving at Elizabeth's door, Richard raised his hand to knock, but then hesitated.

He suddenly woke up from his stupor.

What was he doing?

Why was he here?
