Chapter 8 He Betrayed Her a Long Time ago
Stephen and Bob immediately winked at Joseph and signaled him not to be nosy. Joseph glanced at Stephen and Bob, completely ignoring their reminders. After returning the phone to Elizabeth, he said, "Elizabeth, come with me!"
Then, he walked out of the room alone.
Elizabeth quickly said goodbye to Stephen and Bob, letting them take care of her suitcase. After she picked up her handbag, she immediately followed Joseph out.
In the room, only Stephen and Bob were looking at each other dumbfoundedly.
Elizabeth caught up with Joseph. Seeing Joseph had something in his mind, she could not help pursing her lips, and asked concernedly, "Joseph, what's the matter with you?" "After meeting Conor, promise me not to cry." Joseph said seriously as he was walking forward.
In fact, this was the matter of Conor and Elizabeth. Why should he intervene?
But...
Joseph frowned when he thought of this.
Elizabeth thought something bad happened to Conor. She asked anxiously with her hoarse voice, "Is there something wrong with Conor? Is he fine?"
"He is fine. Besides, he is living well." Joseph answered coldly.
On the way, no matter what Elizabeth asked, Joseph just said, "After you get there, you will know."
Elizabeth could only shut up.
The two went to the back door of the school. Outside the back door was a spacious road. On the opposite side of the road was five or six-story residential buildings and a snack street. Joseph led Elizabeth into an alley. After they turned into a corner, there was a stainless-steel fence door less than ten meters away from them.
Those who went in and out here were all couples.
Elizabeth understood something vaguely, but she still couldn't believe the thought in her mind.
Joseph opened the stainless-steel fence door and walked in. Elizabeth lowered her head slightly, then followed in silently.
They went up to the third floor and stopped in front of a dark green security door.
Joseph took out a key from his trouser pocket, opened the door, and then walked in.
After Elizabeth followed in, she realized that the house had four bedrooms with a living room, balcony, dining room and kitchen. It was three times the size of the small rental house she and Snow rented together.
Joseph went straight to the door on the far left and knocked on it gently.
Conor's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"It's me!" Joseph answered.
Conor asked again, "Didn't you say to go back to the dormitory tonight? Why are you back again?"
"Come out. I have something to tell you." Joseph continued.
"Wait a moment. I have to put on my clothes first." Conor responded.
Immediately afterwards, a girl's voice came from inside, "Damn it. Why does he come back right now?"
"Honey, calm down. After I ask him what the matter is, I'll come back and continue with you." Conor coaxed the girl softly.
The sound coming from inside the room was not loud. Although others outside the room couldn't hear what the persons inside saying clearly, it could tell there was a woman inside except for Conor. Elizabeth just stood beside Joseph, so she heard it clearly.
Apart from Conor, there was a woman in the room.
It was not time to go to bed now. Why did Conor have to get dressed before he came out?
Elizabeth wanted to cry. Tears welled up into her eyes.
When Conor opened the door and saw Elizabeth standing beside Joseph, he was shocked instantly.
"Conor, what's wrong?" The girl's voice sounded again.
In the next second, the girl appeared in front of Elizabeth.
The long hair draped over her shoulders. She had fair skin, red lips and white teeth. There was light makeup on her face. She wore Conor's white shirt, revealing two long and white legs.
"Oh, Joseph. You nerd. You finally got a girlfriend!" After the girl looked at Elizabeth, she sneered slightly.
Joseph squinted Rachel Lam disapprovingly. When he was about to say something to Conor, Conor interrupted him firstly.
"She is my cousin! From the countryside!" Conor said with a smile.
At this moment, Elizabeth felt so heartbreak that she even could not cry. Only her lips were trembling slightly.
"Yes, your cousin came to look for you suddenly. So, I brought her here!" Joseph said coldly.
Conor leaned slightly and said softly to Rachel, "Rachel, I will take my cousin to have dinner first. After I settle her down, I will come back to accompany you. She came here by the long-distance bus. She must have not eaten dinner yet.
"
"Well, alright, I don't want to go out. So I can't hang out with your cousin!" Rachel said coquettishly. After a pause, she looked at Elizabeth and smiled slightly, "Little cousin, this is the first time we meet. Hello! I am your cousin's girlfriend, Rachel."
"You... How long have you been together...?" Elizabeth was choked with sobs.
Rachel smiled shyly, and then intimately took Conor's arms, saying, "It's almost a year! Conor, right?"
"Alright. I'll take her to have dinner." Conor quickly changed the topic.
Rachel nodded slightly and let go of Conor's hand.
Conor came out of the room and closed the door. His face suddenly sank. He glared at Joseph angrily.
Elizabeth didn't say anything anymore, but turned around to run away.
Conor hurriedly chased after her.
