Chapter 2 Eliza Had Gone Mad
“Zayden! Look at Eliza! Has she gone mad? She punctured her lifeboat!”
Zayden had no intention of looking at Eliza in the beginning, but upon hearing the exclamation from someone beside him, he shifted his gaze toward the water..
The person who was supposed to be on the lifeboat was now
Another person’s face turned pale, and they said, “Did she go into the water to retrieve the gift again? Does she have a death
The onlookers also paled in shock.
They had just wanted to mess with Eliza a bit; no one actually hoped for someone to die.
In such cold weather, she dove in the sea again, What if she really died?
Naomi, who had been hiding in a corner, also looked very unsettled when she saw that Eliza actually punctured her lifeboat.
She only meant to embarrass Eliza! She couldn’t actually die!
The monthly exam was coming soon. If Eliza weren’t around to help her cheat, she’d be in big trouble!
Thinking of this, Naomi rushed out from the corner and anxiously held Zayden’s arm. “Zayden! Please get someone to save Eliza! If anything happens to her, I won’t be able to live with myself!
Tears streamed down Naomi’s cheek; her face looked aggrieved.
Zayden frowned.
The next second, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
The seawater was icy and biting.
Zayden hadn’t expected the night sea to be this cold.
Every second in the water was a forment.
“Eliza Give me your hand!”
Just as he found Eliza and tried to pull her up, Eliza suddenly opened her eyes and kicked him in the stomach underwater.
The kick stunned Zayden, causing him to panic and swallow several gulps of seawater accidentally.
Seeing Zayden struggling in pain underwater, Eliza felt a rush of satisfaction
She had held her breath for a long time and knew that Naomi wasn’t hold enough to really let her die.
Even those on the shore only wanted to mock her; they weren’t bold enough to let anything happen to her
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have thrown down the lifeboat.
Seeing Zayden about to drown, Eliza finally reached out and pulled him to the surface.
The rescue staff on the ferry quickly pulled them both up onto the deck.
Seeing Zayden coughing up several mouthfuls of water, Naomi rushed forward, worriedly asking. “Zayden, how do you feel? Are you alright?
Zayden didn’t respond; his eyes fixed on Eliza in the distance.
That kick underwater–he was almost certain it was intentionall
“Eliza! How could you be so reckless? You can’t even swim, yet you still jump in on purpose! Everyone throws you the lifeboat out of goodwill, yet you sabotage it! Are you troubling us all on purpose?”
Naomi stood on the moral high ground, telling Eliza off with righteous indignation.
As if Eliza were the one making things difficult for everyone.
Naomi completely kept quiet about how they had all coaxed and bullied her into jumping in the first place.
That was her dear Naomi–always kind and understanding.
Others chimed in
“Yeah, Eliza, you went too far! Do you know how expensive a lifeboat is? You dragged us all into this mess for just a lousy gift. How selfish of you!”
“Exactly! Given that worthless stuff, even if you got it back, Zayden wouldn’t want it!”
The people around Zayden were long used to mocking Eliza.
To them, she was nothing but a shameless lapdog.
Under all those scornful stares, Eliza slowly pulled out a fountain pen from her hand. Then she said calmly, “Zayden, this is the birthday gift from Naomi. I went to retrieve it for her.”
Upon hearing her, Naomi froze and thought, What gift!
She hadn’t prepared anything for Zayden.
After all, simply attending Zayden’s birthday banquet was more than enough to please him.
Then someone suddenly shouted, “Isn’t that Albert’s pen? Naomi, you are impressive! You actually managed to get that?”
She didn’t even know who that was!
Back in her cabin, Eliza let out a cold laugh.
Albert was Zayden’s favorite scholar.
The black fountain pen wasn’t expensive but rare.
In her previous life, Eliza saved up for a long time and chased after Albert every day, tirelessly as a fan, just to have him sell one of his pens to her.
But in the end, the fountain pen was thrown into the sea by Zayden without a second thought.
Now, she had no intention of wasting any more effort on Zayden.
She might as well push him straight into Naomi’s arms and tie them together.
“Eliza! Why did you say that just now?”
Eliza looked at Naomi, who was enraged and accusing. She said calmly. “What? Don’t you like Zayden a lot?”
“How could I like Zayden? Eliza, I have said that I’d never take what belongs to you!”
