Who Do You Think I Am?

When Elizabeth received a phone call from Lydia, she had just got off the car. Hearing Lydia's caring and considerate words, she felt so guilty all of a sudden. At that time, she almost wanted to say, "Mom, don't be so good to me. The better you treat me, the guiltier I will be." However, she bit back the words she would like to have said. She was afraid that not only James would ignore her, but her mother-in-law and father-in-law who she cherished and appreciated very much, would also be disappointed in her. After hanging up the phone, she melted into tears and bit her lip tightly. She felt so uncomfortable and painful in her heart as if her heart was wrenched by something.  If she had known that James would be so angry, she would never do that. If she could meet Adele earlier and see how great mother's love was with her own eyes, she would not be so silly to eat the pills and make James so mad, and she wouldn't make herself so grieved. Fortunately, she went to Lu Enterprises that day and met Samuel. Otherwise, she might have run around like a headless chicken but still did not know where James was. Samuel said that James had been living in Grand Dynasty Hotel for the past two days. He had gone to the Lu Mansion in the morning and should return to Grand Dynasty Hotel later. She wanted to go to Lu Mansion, but she changed her mind. She was afraid that James would humiliate her in front of her father-in-law and mother-in-law because he hated her at this time. She didn't care about her dignity. She just didn't want them to worry about her and him. Later... when she saw him, she must take him home no matter how he would react. Even if she needed to act coquettishly and make a fuss shamelessly, she didn't care about it, as long as he could go back with her. After taking a few deep breaths, she clenched her fists tightly and then smiled gently. She came to catch him! At this time, there were not many people entering and leaving Grand Dynasty Hotel, and the large hall was a little empty. Originally, Elizabeth wanted to go to the reception desk to ask James was here, but she thought that the receptionist told her that he was not here when she came here yesterday. She knew that James must have given the order like this. So, she stopped, turned around, and walked toward the elevator.  As she walked, she thought that she would go to his room directly. If he was there, she must find a way to let him open the door. Yesterday, she didn't know that he was in the room and left in a panic. If he hadn't come back, she would wait for him there. She didn't believe that he wouldn't come back anymore.  When she thought that she was about to see him in a few minutes, she felt a little nervous, but she was more excited and delighted. Well, no matter what he thought, and no matter whether he would still be angry with her or not, she... really wanted to see him. In the past, especially the two years before her parents passed away, she missed them very much. Later, after a long time, still missed them very much, especially when she saw how happy others were when they were with their parents.  At this time... she just hadn't seen James for two days, but she felt that she missed him so much. In the past two days, she often thought that even if he wanted to beat or scold her, she didn't care. As long as... she could see him. When they were not on speaking terms, the feeling of missing him was complicated. She felt a little bitter in heart, but she also felt warm when she thought of the sweet moments in the past. At the same time, she felt somber, depressed, and painful in heart as if her heart had been torn apart.  When she was waiting for the elevator, the excitement and nervousness made her heart jump violently. Her eyes were slowly filled with happy tears, and even her throat tightened a little. Behind her, quick footsteps were approaching, and then Elizabeth's wrist was grabbed by someone.   She held her breath, and her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she said with joy, "James..." Saying this, she looked in the direction of the man who was pulling her, but she bit back the rest of her words. The joyful smile on her face disappeared. She frowned and said with her eyes full of disappointment, "Why are you here?" The one who stood in front of Elizabeth was Theodore. He had a long beard and was extremely gaunt. He didn't look as graceful as he used to be. Elizabeth was a little surprised by his look. "Who do you think I am?" Theodore showed an evil and cold smile, and then said mockingly, "B*stard James?" Elizabeth frowned, "Theodore, you are the b*stard!" As she said this, she tried to shake off his hand fiercely, but Theodore grabbed her so tightly that she couldn't withdraw her hand, "Let go of me!" Thinking that James had misunderstood her relationship with Theodore whom she had not seen for a long time, she really wanted to stay away from him as far as she could, "I asked you to let go of me. Can't you hear me?" Theodore snorted, "What if I don't?" Elizabeth was furious, "Then I'll call the security guards!" Hearing this, Theodore squinted his eyes, "Just do it." He moved closer to her, "If the security guards come here and I argue with them, James will know about it. What will he think at that time? Huh? Will he think that I have an ambiguous relationship with you?" Elizabeth's hand was in great pain. Hearing what he said, her face turned pale, "When did you become so shameless?" "I'm shameless? Humph! Compared with what James has done to me, I'm treating you quite kindly!" As he said this, he glanced at Elizabeth's wrist with hatred, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?" Elizabeth bit her lip tightly. Although it was really painful, she didn't cry out in pain. "You've become more stubborn after being with James." Elizabeth looked around in panic and then said to Theodore with hostility, "I told you to let go of me. Did you hear that?" Theodore's face was gloomy, and his eyes were bloodshot, "What's wrong? Are you scared? Are you afraid of being seen by James? Elizabeth, I still remember our past and remember your kindness. But what about you? Is this how you treat me?" Elizabeth heard it and was afraid that more and more people would see them like this, so she got more and more anxious, but Theodore's words made her want to laugh, "Theodore, how ridiculous you're! You and Josephine treated me so heartlessly! Is that how you remember my kindness? If I wasn't lucky enough to meet James, do you know what kind of life I would be living? Have you ever thought about that?" Hearing this, Theodore flew into a rage and growled, "So you want to take revenge on me like this?" After that, he shook off Elizabeth's hand harshly and said with red eyes, "Now that you've finally succeeded in taking revenge on me, so you can't wait to celebrate with your lover?" Elizabeth staggered and took two steps back, "Theodore, are you insane?" Theodore looked at Elizabeth and thought that she was playing dumb. He no longer cared that they were in a hotel, and temporarily forgot his purpose of coming here in anger.  He stepped forward, grabbed Elizabeth's wrist again, and said coldly, "If you are afraid that James will know it, you'd better be sensible and don't shout. I have something on James. Do you want to know it?"
