"Why are you standing there in a daze? Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth stood still stiffly. Looking at Zena who was sitting leisurely on the sofa, she opened her mouth and said after a long while, "Zena... why did you suddenly come here?""
Zena glanced at Elizabeth who looked so awkward not far away. She smiled slightly and felt unspeakably happy in her heart. However, she pretended to be concerned and shocked, "Elizabeth, what's wrong with you? Why happened?"
Elizabeth was startled and suddenly remembered how messy she was at this time. Feeling embarrassed, she tried to smile, "Nothing, it's an accident."
At this time, she didn't want to see any outsiders at all. She just wanted to run into her room quickly, and then cry out loud with her head covered.
"Well... Zena, sit for a while. I'm going to change my clothes."
Zena nodded with a smile, but she said, "I've heard about what happened in the school..."
Elizabeth was taken aback, and the forced smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She stared at Zena with her eyes wide open in horror. She originally wanted to go upstairs to clean herself, but she suddenly couldn't move at all as if she had been frozen.
Yes, Zena should know about it, because she was a teacher at A University...
She was so familiar with her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Would she tell them about it?
"Zena..." Elizabeth swallowed with difficulty, "Listen to me. It's not like that..." She clenched her fists, "Believe me, really..."
Zena chuckled, "Yeah, I want to believe you, but..." She paused, "This matter seems to have caused a great stir. If uncle and aunt know it, I'm afraid..."
Elizabeth's body trembled. She shook her head and said, "I... really..." She closed her eyes, "They probably don't know about it now. Could you... please... not tell them? Someone framed me..."
Looking at Elizabeth's flustered face, Zena felt that the grievances and depression she had suffered recently had dissipated a lot.
"Elizabeth, I can help you, but they will know it sooner or later."
"Thank you, Zena. Thank you so much!" As Elizabeth said this, she took a few more steps forward, "I really don't know what to say. I will definitely find a solution. I..."
As she spoke, she noticed that there was no tea on the table in front of Zena, "Didn't Jane serve tea for you? I'll pour you a cup of tea right now." Saying this, she turned around to pour tea for Zena.
Although she did this out of courtesy, only she herself knew that she was trying to platter Zena.
"Thank you, but there's no need." Zena stopped her, "Who's Jane? The nanny in your house?"
Elizabeth nodded, "Yes." After that, she added, "She's the aunt you just met."
Hearing this, Zena raised her eyebrows, "Really? I haven't seen her before."
Elizabeth heard it and was stunned for a moment, "You... She opened the door for you, right?" Although she didn't know where Jane had gone.
Zena shook her head with a smile, "No."
"What?"
"I opened it myself."
