"What?!" The crowd was left speechless, as if struck by lightning.
Elizabeth Bennet nearly choked on her own saliva upon hearing this, such was her surprise. This Fitzwilliam Darcy was so...
Even such shameless words could be spoken with a straight face, creating an eerie sense of shock.
"Cough... um, Mr. Darcy, our situation... it was an accident, right? I can compensate you in any way you wish, but marriage... lets not, shall we?" Elizabeth stammered, trying to dissuade Darcy from the idea of marrying her.
After all, in this life, she just wanted to take her revenge and didnt want to get entangled with Darcy again; otherwise, she might not even know how shed end up dead.
Darcy, observing her refusal, approached Elizabeth in his wheelchair, reaching out to grab her hand.
Elizabeth was startled by Darcys actions: "What are you doing?!"
Darcy motioned for Elizabeth to squat down and whispered seductively into her ear, "I know it was you who framed your sister, and I also know what youre planning to do next. Collaborate with me, and I assure you it will be twice as effective."
Elizabeth was taken aback by his words. He knew everything about her? And the bait he dangled was indeed tempting.
"So, do you want to collaborate?" Seeing Elizabeths wavering demeanor, Darcy quickly curled his lips into a smile.
"Alright, I agree," Elizabeth pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"Pleasant cooperation!" Darcy and Elizabeth shared a glance, understanding passing between them without words.
Not far away, Scarlett OHara stood, her face filled with unwillingness.
"Impossible! Elizabeth Bennet is just a vile person, she must have slept with some scoundrel and then deliberately framed Mr. Darcy to cling to him!" Scarlett bit her lower lip, her gaze towards Elizabeth filled with loathing. If it werent for her interference, she wouldnt have suffered such humiliation!
Elizabeth looked at her in surprise and couldnt help but cry out in sorrow, "Sister, why do you say that? I was the one who stood up for you against that bully! Instead of being grateful, why do you keep slandering me? What have I ever done to offend you? Boohoo..."
"Silence, your nonsensical rants are unbecoming! Dont forget, young lady, provoking Mr. Darcy wont end well for you!" Mr. Grey, the Grey family patriarch, was also angered by Scarletts audacity and retorted harshly.
Mr. Bennet also looked at Scarlett with a gloomy expression, intimidating her into a pale silence.
With matters settled, Darcy bid farewell to the crowd, taking Elizabeth with him under the pretext of nurturing their relationship.
The Grey and Bennet families were pleased with this development and didnt object.
Only Scarlett stared at the retreating figures of Darcy and Elizabeth with a venomous glare, grinding her teeth in anger, "Elizabeth Bennet, dont be too smug. The outcome is still uncertain!"
With that, she returned to her room.
As she was contemplating what method to use to bring Elizabeth down for good, her phone suddenly received a call from someone using a voice changer: "Scarlett OHara, do you want revenge? I can help you!"
"Who are you? Why do you have my number?" Scarlett questioned with a face full of horror.
