Chapter 49: Confrontation at the Tavern

(Elena’s POV)

I suppressed my smile and looked at Isabella, “If anyone should apologize, it’s him who should apologize to

me first.”

Isabella Blackwood scoffed at my words, her perfectly manicured nails tapping against the polished table

surface.

“You’re so self–righteous,” she sneered. “Everyone knows you only wanted Marcus for his wealth and position.”

Her eyes narrowed as she looked me up and down with obvious disdain.

“Stop acting innocent. You pursued him willingly,” Isabella continued, her voice dripping with venom. “It’s not

his fault he doesn’t love you.”

I remained silent, watching her dig herself deeper.

“And now you’re involved with inappropriate men,” she gestured dismissively toward Nathan. “Who knows what diseases you might bring back to my cousin through your unfaithful behavior.”

Something snapped inside me. The accumulated frustration of years being the unwanted mate, the recent discovery about my adoption, and David’s condition–it all converged into a single moment of clarity.

Without hesitation, I slapped Isabella across the face.

The sound echoed through the tavern. Several patrons turned to stare at our table.

Isabella’s hand flew to her reddening cheek, her eyes wide with shock. “You… you dared to hit me?”

“I have no obligation to tolerate your behavior,” I replied coldly. “I don’t care about your antics within the Blackwood family, but you should be mindful of your words in public.”

I leaned closer, my voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “Even if I were to betray your cousin, so what? I’d

be returning the favor.”

Isabella’s face paled at my words. I grabbed Nathan’s wrist, ready to leave this unpleasant scene behind.

“Let’s go,” I said to Nathan, who looked both surprised and impressed by my outburst.
