Chapter 299 - Who Are You?

Elizabeth was preparing for the next take of , the movie she's currently shooting with her mother. Right now, they are situated near the northern side of the country. Meaning, they are far from the city life and everything around them is the greenery of mother nature and fields which decorates the landscape.

Regarding the news about what happened last night, not only has it went viral but it also went wild in the truest sense. There were both negative and positive comments about it. Most of the positive comment comes from Yuexi An's fans.

"You're all saying those harsh words because you all think Yuexi An is a person being mean towards Li Zi. Shouldn't you be grateful that she helped her find her family?"

"B****! YUEXI AN! WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING US AS FOR? DO YOU THINK LI ZI IS A FOOL?"

"Yuexi An, go to h.e.l.l and die B****! How dare you hurt our G.o.ddess. Everyone can see that they aren't her family. General Huang and Emperor Zhang said so themselves."

That battle online erupted just as how World War III would do, there was no clear view on which side was winning, at least yet. But unexpectedly, not a single fan of Li Zi has voiced out as well. It seems they are staying out of the fight and being neutral like their idol since Li Zi herself has not spoken about it.

"Lizzy, Lady Zhao is looking for you." Elton said worriedly for he too has seen the news, and thanks to the fact he had already worked with the G.o.ddess for 2 decades, he knows all too well how the G.o.ddess would react.

Elizabeth was reluctant to go with Elton to go and face her mother. Last night, she was unable to call her mother and respond to the message she sent to her. When she woke up the next day, her phone was filled with messages and missed calls from her mother. She also received a message from her father telling her to face her mother. 

"How is she?"

Elton cleared his throat before answering her. "She, Lady Zhao."

The fact Elton just addressed her mother as Lady Zhao twice despite no one being around them means her mother is indeed not in a good mood. Her mother's manager and team normally address her as Weiwei. The fact they've known each other for decades deems such formality as unnecessary.

When Elizabeth arrived to where her mother was, both Elder Director Mo and Director Mo were present. They both looked worriedly at the girl for they sense such cold and dark clouds hovering around Lady Zhao, reducing the temperature of the room by several degrees.

"My dear Weiwei, I'm sure Lizzy has a reason as to why she's doing this?" Elder Director Mo spoke up, seeing that no one seems to be willing to speak at all.

"Big Sis, father's right. Let's not think too much about this." Director Mo added, fearing what the woman might do and say to her daughter.

Lady Zhao's team, including the Zhao guards with her were all concerned for the little miss. Her mother is a demon once she is displeased with something and right now, their little miss has really done something outrageous.

"Mother..." Elizabeth said, for she didn't have the courage to call her mother 'mommy or mom' for she was the one at the wrong and feels guilty for what she's done.

"Am I still your mother then?" Lady Zhao cold words struck everyone. They were all shocked stiff, unable to gather their thoughts together to tame the woman down.

"Moth-...mommy, I'm sorry." Her throat suddenly felt dry, she was having a hard time to speak and express herself. Her mother really looked frightening and she questioned herself again what her father sees in her mother. She now looks like the female version of . A very adorable doll but with a frightening and murderous personality.

"Ha, so you still consider me as your mother. I thought you already found your family . Why continue to call me mother?" Lady Zhao words continued to be cold and cynical. Every word expresses the anger and displeasure contained within her heart.

"I'm sorry, but I had no choice." Elizabeth ended up raising her voice in front of her mother and everyone else. She was already at her edge and had already faced too many problems at one time. This meeting was the final push which led her to break .

"You have a choice dear daughter, why can't tell them who you are!?!" Lady Zhao responded with force as well as she faces her daughter whose eyes were already laden with beads of tears. She was really upset at the idea of her daughter wis.h.i.+ng to play family with someone else. How she wish she could spend time with her, and be with her.

"You know I can't do that!" Elizabeth averted her gaze from her mother after noticing her reddening eyes which were already watery.

"Why, tell me, why?"

"Because no one will love me for who I am!" Elizabeth angrily spoke.

But when she raised her head, she was surprised to see everyone with  disappointed faces looking at her. When she turned to Elder Director Mo, she was ashamed of herself upon seeing how hurt the old man was.

"So, that's what you think... You think no one loved you. Elizabeth Knightley! Have you lost your mind because of a boy! I, your mother have loved you for 23 years, I carried you within me for almost 9 months. Your father spent day and night watching over you when you were a baby. He dared not sleep, worried that something might happen to you. Your grandparents instead of spending time to enjoy themselves would rather continue working hard to make sure the world is a better place for you. Don't forget about your uncle and brother. They fought so much for you so you'll be able to live the life you have. But that's right, it's never enough for you. Elizabeth Knightley, you have the world in you hand but why is it never enough for you?" Her mother expressively said. At this point on beads of tears had already from her eyes down to her cheeks and on to the ground.

Everyone dared not speak nor stop Lady Zhao for expressing herself despite her words being expressed in such a cold and bitter tone. For once, they too felt their little miss has gone too far.

"Mother..."

"Elizabeth Knightley, what are you afraid of? That no one will truly love you for who you are? But have you been true to them? Do you think, if Jayden knew from the start who you were the event that happened before would cease to exist? You yourself know that it wouldn't. Let's talk about Shen, how long are you planning on fooling him? You're saying you want someone to love you, but how can he love you when he doesn't even know the true you. For goodness' sake Elizabeth, you even wrote a song about trust but do you really know what trust means?. Why must you continue with this? What are you afraid of? Love? Being alone? Tell me?!"

Elizabeth was about to explode as well. Her buried pain and all the frustration bottled p within her mind exploded at that very moment. She had reached her limit. The fact that her family has lied about her past and her memories aren't currently true.

"How can I love my own self when I don't even know who I am!? Mother, why, tell me... Why am I so afraid that if people will find out who I am, I'm going to lose my own happiness. Why… why do I feel like it had already happened?. Tell me..."

Lady Zhao could not answer her daughter's question. For it must be the reason as to why she was forced to clear her memory then. 

Slowly, her mother said,"I'm sorry... Do what you wish."

Elizabeth was left all own her own as everyone followed the woman out. Instead of staying put, she took off and ran for a secluded place. Seeing that there was no longer anyone around her, she screamed at the top of her lungs, releasing all the pent up emotions within her, all the rage, fear, confusion and… sadness. 

"WHO ARE YOU!?!?"
