My Three Darlings

Chapter 70

As Esme finished her sentence, a burst of laughter came from all around. The people around her laughed and said, “When did the Lacy Restaurant become so low!” “We should let the security guards drive her out!” “Tsk tsk tsk, lass, this isn’t a place for you to solicit!” The voices of these women were loud, which attracted the attention of the people around them. In a short while, Eliza was surrounded by a crowd of people who were watching the show and making personal remarks about her. Eliza was not angry. She looked up at Esme and the others. Her eyes were filled with confusion. “What do you mean by ‘soliciting?” “It means a woman who sells her body to seduce men on the street so that they will patronize her body!” A woman following Esme, smiled and explained, “Why, have you never heard of this job?” “Oh, you mean that.” A smile appeared on the woman’s delicate porcelain doll-like face. “Esme.” She looked at Esme with pity. “I know that you lived in the slums before. Although you used to be a thug, still, you are in the Lawson family now. It’s better that you don’t use this word in the future.” Esme frowned. “Eliza! What do you mean?!” Eliza gave her an innocent look. “Esme, I know you don’t like your older sister to educate you.” “But you should still be careful on such an occasion.” “Although you haven’t finished your junior high school and skipped classes and drank wine every day, now that you have returned to the Lawson family, you should change the way you talk. If you can’t change that habit, don’t speak in the future.” Eliza’s words stunned the women around Esme, who had been complimenting her.

The recruitment in Lawson’s Group was very strict. All of them graduated from famous schools!

But Esme, whom they were complementing, was actually a thug whom had not even finished her junior high school! The people in the surrounding were also talking about it. “No wonder she speaks so harshly. It turns out that her education background is so low.” “She looks like a decent person, but her manners can’t be concealed by branded items!” “Lacy Restaurant is the best western restaurant in Krine. She’s really a no brainer to slander others for soliciting customers at the entrance of Lacy.” Most of the customers who came and went from Lacy were either rich or noble. After hearing Eliza’s words, they all started to scoff at Esme. Esme’s hand clenched into a fist. “Eliza!” This woman dared to point out in

public that she was not well-educated! She must be tired of living! She stared at her fiercely. “B*tch, you don’t have the right to educate me!” “No matter what, I’m the eldest daughter of the Lawson family. You’re just a b*tch who has been wrongly raised by the Lawson family for 18 years. How dare you criticize me?” Eliza sighed and lowered her head. “I know I’m not from a wealthy family, and I don’t have the right to teach you a lesson.” “I just feel that, Esme, after all, you are the biological daughter of the Lawson family. You should be careful of your words and deeds when you go out. You can’t bring shame to the Lawson family.” “When I was in the Lawson family, I always put the glory of Lawson family in my heart all the time and I never dared to talk nonsense outside. I don’t even know what you mean by ‘soliciting” Eliza lowered her head and said in an extremely aggrieved voice, “After all, mom and dad had raised me for a while. I can’t bear to see their reputation…” The surrounding discussions grew louder and louder. “I used to know Eliza as well. Even though she was born in a poor family, she was indeed generous and polite when she was still in the Lawson family. She had never brought embarrassment to the Lawson family.” “Look at the legitimate eldest daughter of the Lawson family now… geeze.” “That’s right. She can even say something like ‘soliciting’. Seems like she’s been in contact with these a lot of these acts before…” Esme was so angry that her face turned red. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

A black Maserati stopped on the road opposite the restaurant. A man in a black suit leaned against the back seat of the car and looked at the scene in front of the restaurant. Everyone was discussing Esme’s manners. However, no one noticed that the moment Eliza lowered her head, a hint of cunning flashed past her eyes. Beau lowered down the window with his long and slender fingers and a doting smile appeared on his face. She was not stupid at all. Esme had a lot of followers around her, but Eliza was alone. If they had fought head-on at the beginning, she would have been at a disadvantage. So she used this tactic. Earlier, when Esme and the others were talking about her, she had pretended not to hear them. She only began to retaliate when the gazes of the surrounding people were drawn over. At that moment, the entrance of the Lacy Restaurant had formed a crowd with public opinion. Under the public eyes, Esme did not dare to bully Eliza. It only took less than ten minutes to make Esme, who had been complacent before, angry and helpless. It seemed that she was way smarter than he had imagined. “Eliza!” Esme stared fiercely at Eliza. She really wanted to rip off Eliza’s head on the spot and press it on

the sole of her feet! But now, everyone was staring at her! Among these onlookers, there were even some who were old friends of the Lawson family! If she was hysterical, wouldn’t she become the ‘uneducated little sister’ that Eliza said?

“Just you wait!” After saying this, Esme quickly entered the restaurant with her followers. “Little sister, remember what I said!” She smiled and waved in the direction where Esme left. The smile on her face grew bigger and bigger. “Ha ha ha ha ha…!” When the crowd dispersed, Eliza stood at the entrance of the restaurant. The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Perhaps it was her good temper over the past few years that gave Esme the illusion that she was very easy to bully? Even Eliza herself did not expect Esme to underestimate her so much. The woman took a deep breath and took out her mobile phone to send a message to Mr. Valentine. “Mr. Valentine, I have been waiting for you at the entrance of the restaurant for almost half an hour. What time will you arrive?” Mr. Valentine replied very quickly, “I’m reaching soon.” Eliza took a deep breath as she stood still and waited after she received the reply. “Eliza!” Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from behind. She frowned and subconsciously turned around. When she turned around, she was slapped heavily on the face. It was already too late to dodge it so Eliza could only instinctively close her eyes. But the pain she had imagined didn’t come for a long time. A man’s deep and cold voice sounded beside her ear. “Miss Lawson, you humiliated yourself, and now you’re angry because of your own embarrassment?” This voice… Eliza raised her head in shock and widened her eyes. In front of her, a tall man stood in front of her like a towering tree. He held Esme’s hand with his big hand, and his cold face wore a faint smile. “This kind of sneak attack is in line with your uneducated identity.”
