In the silent night, in Josh's private room, the brilliant light of the crystal lamp spilled onto the lobby. On the luxurious and modern sofa, Elizabeth sat there dumbly like a wooden chicken for a long time and when Josh still had not returned, she was actually worried about her aunt's matters and also waiting for him.

However, she felt that Josh wouldn't be coming back tonight.

He was definitely very angry, because his aunt had run away, which meant that she was guilty and had done even more wrong.

Elizabeth lowered her head, hiding her face deep within her palms, anxious and fearful.

She was afraid that something would happen to her aunt, afraid that the gap between Edwards and her would grow deeper and deeper, until it ended with them breaking up.

Why did the god treat her like this? It was not easy to fall in love, but so tortuous and difficult. They didn't even have the chance to enjoy the beauty of being in love properly before they were thrown into the abyss, unable to escape.

She raised her head and looked at the crystal needle watch on the wall before her. The needle had already reached 12 o'clock.

It was already midnight!

Elizabeth hadn't rested for the entire day and was always in a state of anxiety and unease. At this moment, she was tired and tired, but her mind was incredibly clear.

She decided to wait a few more minutes. If Josh really wasn't going to return, she wouldn't have to wait any longer.

Actually, she could have just given Josh a call and asked where he was and whether he would reply.

At this time, Josh would definitely be very angry and in pain, she did not dare to disturb him, for fear of enraging him even more. Elizabeth looked at the lights outside the window that were gradually dimming down. At this point, everyone should be asleep.

Forget it, there's no need to wait anymore. Elizabeth got up and walked towards her bedroom.

Just as she was about to lie down, she heard the sound of the door opening, her entire body shivered, she anxiously got off the bed and walked out, only to see Josh with his eyes red, floating towards the sofa "Did you drink?" Seeing his handsome face flushed and his eyes reddened, Elizabeth immediately knew that he was drunk and asked with concern.

Josh did not reply to her, his tall body directly falling into the sofa. His long and slender legs moved upwards and reached out his hands to press on the centre of his eyebrows, as if he was about to fall asleep immediately.

Seeing his cold attitude, Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, the fault of her aunt was far more than this.

What should he do? She wanted to ask more, but she didn't dare to.

It was as though he was stuck in the middle of a wall. He couldn't move forward, nor could he retreat. There was no need to even mention how vexed he was.

"Let me pour you a cup of water!" Elizabeth rarely saw Josh drunk, at this moment, his handsome face was red, his breathing was heavy and he was at a loss of what to do, not knowing how to take care of. The man didn't say a word. He just pressed his hand to his forehead and closed his eyes, as if he was really asleep.

Elizabeth sighed lightly. She still walked to the dining hall and brought him a cup of hot water.

"Your aunt hasn't contacted you yet?" Josh suddenly opened his mouth, but it was filled with cold air.

Elizabeth's hand that was putting down the cup trembled, causing the cup to fall onto the table with some weight. She bit her lip and softly said, "No, her phone is still turned off. I haven't received any messages from her, either!" "Heh, she's running away out of guilt!" Josh sneered.

"Guilty?" Elizabeth's beautiful eyes instantly widened in shock. She finally mustered her courage and asked: "Josh, can you tell me what crime my aunt has committed, in order to give me confidence?" "I tell you so that you can help her escape even further?" At this moment, Josh's heart was filled with rage. When he thought of how his own father had died from a frame-up, he couldn't help but feel unspeakably angry and upset, but he had nowhere to vent it on. He could only vent it on Elizabeth in an evil way.

Elizabeth's expression froze and after a long while, she took a deep breath in and said seriously: "If she really committed a crime, of course I won't help her to escape."

"Can't you? "Didn't you say that she was a great benefactor to you? What if she wants you to repay her kindness?" Josh's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened and the scarlet light stared straight at Elizabeth, full of questions.

Elizabeth trembled all over, it was not impossible, but right now, she could not even contact her aunt, how could she return the favour?

"Josh, what are your plans now? "If living here bores you, I'll move out tomorrow morning. When this matter is completely settled, can we talk about our matters again?" As Elizabeth sat there in a daze, she had already thought things through. Since the truth could not be changed, it was better for her to prepare mentally.

"You want to leave me?" Josh suddenly sat up on the sofa. He had a sickly look on his face before, but now, he looked enraged as his gaze locked onto her. He loosened his arms and pinched her chin: "Elizabeth, you don't have the power to break up!"

Elizabeth knew that he was losing his temper again. Although she was scared, she forced herself to calm down and face it.

"I didn't say I was going to break up. I just feel like we need to split up and calm down a bit!"

"I don't agree!" Josh released his hand and said with a cold face.

"But since I'm right in front of you every day, you must be feeling even more unhappy." Elizabeth was self-aware, since he hated his aunt, he definitely had some sort of hatred for her.

"As long as you can hurry to replace April Jones for me, I won't be angry with you!" Josh snorted.

Elizabeth's beautiful eyes flashed twice, after that, she bit her lips and asked again: "Can you tell me what crime my aunt has committed?!"

"You really want to know?" Josh squinted and swept her a glance.

"Yes, I want to know!" Elizabeth said with a serious face.

"Do you believe that she is the murderer of my father?" Josh's thin lips curled into a cold smile and his handsome face became even more sinisterly cold.

"What?" Elizabeth had mentally prepared herself just now, but her answer still stunned her. Her whole body nearly went limp, she was about to lose her balance and asked anxiously: "Definitely not, my aunt is very timid, she is definitely...."

"Shut up!" Josh didn't want to hear her excuse him, so he glared at her with anger: "Just because she pretends to be kind in front of you doesn't mean that she can't kill people. My father got into a car accident on his way home after seeing her, do you dare say that she doesn't have the chance to kill someone?"

"But why would she do such a thing? I remember that time, she wasn't in need of money!" Elizabeth's words were disorderly and her mind was blank. He couldn't seem to understand why his aunt would do such a terrifying thing.

"What do you mean she doesn't need money? What do you think she wanted at that time? It should be the position of the Mrs. Wayne! " Josh sneered.

Elizabeth's mind buzzed again. She remembered that when she was young, her aunt would often hug her and say that once she became the young mistress of a Wealthy Class family, she would bring her to travel the world.
