"Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do anything bad to your company. As for James..." Elizabeth pursed her lips and thought for a while before she replied, "I never ask about what he wants to do. He has been away from home for two days, so I don't know anything, and I don't know if it was him..."
She glanced at the dagger which had been thrown not far away by Theodore, and she was afraid that what she was going to say would stimulate him. Therefore, she took two steps forward quickly and kicked the dagger downstairs.
After a series of cracking sounds, the dagger rolled downstairs and fell to the ground next to the basement.
After that, Elizabeth felt a little relieved.
She came back, stood in front of Theodore, and sighed slightly. Although Theodore looked awkward and pitiful at this time, she said ruthlessly, "Theodore, I can't help you."
After that, she didn't stay any longer, turned around, and wanted to leave. She couldn't stay in this place any longer.
But as soon as she took two steps, her leg was held by Theodore.
Elizabeth had no choice but to stop. She frowned unhappily and said, "Theodore..."
"Elizabeth, don't go!"
"Theodore, let go of me!" Elizabeth struggled for a while, but she couldn't break free, so she roared with anger.
"No!" Theodore shook his head, "I've really lost everything, and my house has been mortgaged. As for my parents... My mother asked me to beg James. If I don't do anything, how can I explain to my mother?"
Saying this, he held Elizabeth's leg with the other hand, "Elizabeth, I beg you. It was my fault just now. You can do whatever you want, and you can beat me or scold me. For the sake of our acquaintance and my parents, could you please beg James for me?"
Elizabeth frowned and said anxiously, "I told you to let go of me!"
"If you don't promise me, I won't let go of you." Although Theodore felt extremely ashamed, he had no better choice, "Elizabeth, I have never asked you for anything these years. This time, you must help me, okay? As long as you help me, I will listen to you in the future." "I don't need you to listen to me! I can't help you now. Even if I have the ability to help you, I don't need you to do anything for me. Do you understand?"
She sneered in heart.
She didn't even know whether James was still mad with her or not. She couldn't even solve her own problem, so how could she have the spare time to care about Theodore's business?
Just now, Theodore wanted to kill her. Did he think about her feelings? If his mother didn't call him at that time, she wouldn't know if she was dead or alive. But he actually asked her to help him?
Even if she could understand that he came up with such a crazy idea because he had been driven into a corner, she... could not help him.
"Elizabeth! I know that you hate me for what I did to you before. I know I was wrong, and now I have got my punishment. Can you help me this time? I can see that James also likes you. He is obedient to you. As long as you speak for me in front of him, he will definitely listen to you."
"I know that you are still annoyed now. You blame me for treating you so rudely just now, so you don't agree with me, right? Alright, I will treat myself in the same way!" Saying this, Theodore released his hand and slapped himself in the face fiercely.
