Chapter 303 - Be Locked Up

Compassion?

Elsie was furious. She couldn't stop crying because of the pain and her makeup had been ruined. However, she stared at Harold and questioned, "What are you doing? Are you feeling sorry for me? How dare you!"

Harold was silent for a moment before saying, "Miss Elsie, I work for Miss Emily."

'That should be clear enough.'

Elsie was shocked. It took her a while to accept the truth that Harold, whom her father trusted the most, had also begun to work for that retard. Emily was not stupid at all. She pretended to be retarded, but actually she was the one that had been planning everything ... Emily had sent her mother to the police station and chased away her big brother. Next, she must be the only person that Emily was going to deal with.

Looking around the corridor, Elsie was actually thinking that she herself was the bad one, and that retard should be the real master of the Britts.

Elsie called the police station. She wanted to see Beverly, but the police wouldn't let her. She could only call Eliot, but he didn't answer her call.

Maury didn't come back for dinner, so there were only Emily and Harold in the house. Elsie did not dare to go out. Even the food was delivered to her room by Susan. Elsie did not even dare to be angry with Susan because she was worried that Susan would never serve the food for her. She had been waiting for Maury to come back so that she could tell him the truth. Only then could her mother and big brother return home.

However, it turned out that it was not that easy.

She told Maury that all of this was Emily's trick. It was Emily that had taken the five million and Emily had even bribed Harold to set the trap for Beverly...

Maury looked up at Elsie after she finished speaking. Then, he said with a tired expression, "Just go back to sleep."

He didn't believe her at all!

Elsie stretched out her injured hand, cried and said, "Dad! Look at my hand! It was stabbed by that retard! Do you find this familiar? Because she had stabbed me once before! And she hurt me on the same spot this time! She was taking revenge on me! Dad! Believe me! She has been playing dumb since then!"

Maury smiled sarcastically. "You mean, it was Emily that asked your mother to misappropriate the money? And it was her that let your mother cheat on me with Daniel? And it was her that has taken the five million?"

Although it sounded somewhat weird, Elsie nodded anyway, "Yes, she did admit it."

Elsie pulled Maury's arm and wanted to lead him to confront Emily. However, Maury stopped her. "Susan," he shouted and then Susan showed out. Maury pointed at Elsie and said, "Miss Elsie is sick. Send her to her room and don't let her out."

He was going to lock her up.

Elsie grabbed Maury in disbelief and shouted, "Dad! You don't believe me?! I'm telling the truth! Dad! Believe me! Emily is faking everything! She's not retarded at all! It was her! She did everything!"

Susan was dragging Elsie, trying to push her into the room.

Elsie clutched to the door frame tightly, but Susan was so strong that she couldn't resist it. Elsie cried hard as she looked at Susan and said, "I'm telling the truth! Believe me! Tell Dad it was Emily! She lied to all of us! Susan, it was my fault before. I apologize to you. Please believe me, I'm telling the truth! Let me see Dad..."

The door was closed anyway.

Maury heard Elsie's cries and shouts coming from the door. He paused and said, "Don't give her food until she calms down."

Susan locked the door and replied, "Yes, sir."

Elsie had been locked up for two days. She could not go out or eat anything. She could only drink tap water in the bathroom while crying.

The wound on her hand became even worse because she had not dealt with it in time. Every night it would hurt so much. Two days later, the door finally opened.

Emily stood at the door, glancing at Elsie, who was sitting on the floor, and said coldly, "Time for dinner."

This was the most beautiful thing Elsie had ever heard in her life. Her face was pale and she was so weak that she had to support the wall while going downstairs step by step.

At the dining table, Emily and Maury was sitting face to face, talking about something. Both of them were smiling. But Elsie was like a starving ghost that had crawled out of hell. She was stinky and her hair was dirty. The gauze on her hands smelled of decay. Maury frowned in disgust when Elsie came closer. Then, he said to Susan, "Let her eat in her own room."

Elsie finally got downstairs. She was so hungry that she almost fainted. However, hearing this, she was so scared. She cried painfully, but her voice was hoarse. She had been cursing Emily every day and night and the result was that she could not speak now. Her voice was just like the sound made when someone scratched the glass with his fingernails.

Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

Maury was indifferent. He only said to Susan, "Call the doctor."

"Yes, sir!"

Beverly was hateful because she had managed to turn Maury's favorite son into a total stranger to him. Thus, even though Elsie was related to Maury by blood, because of Beverly, Maury could no longer treat her as usual.

Elsie kept reminding Maury of Eliot and all the bad things Beverly had done.

Elsie fell ill. After the doctor left, it took her several days in bed for the wound to heal. Because she could not say anything, she just watched people come and go every day. Maury had never shown up once while even Emily had come to see her once. Emily just stood in front of the bed and glanced at her.

Emily's eyes were cold, as if she was looking at a dead person.
