Chapter 183: Then will you stay with me?

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

“What do you mean!” Isabella Blackwood’s voice cracked with indignation as the Elite Guards remained silent She stamped her foot against the polished floor, the sound echoing through the corridor.

“Marcus! I’m your cousin, what did I do to make you unhappy!” she shouted toward the recovery chamber door.

Her designer handbag trembled In her grip as she waited for a response that never came. The guards stood like stone statues, unmoved by her outburst.

Lila Lancaster stepped forward with a mischievous smile playing on her lips. “Isabella, even your own cousin is blocking you now?”

Isabella’s face flushed deeper red at the taunt. Her knuckles went white as she clutched her handbag tighter.

“I’ve never experienced such a thing,” Lila continued cheerfully. “Maybe it’s because I don’t rely on the Blackwood family name to act unreasonably.”

She tilted her head with mock innocence. “You’ve made Marcus ignore you completely. That takes real talent.”

Isabella’s composure finally shattered. She clenched her designer handbag so hard her knuckles turned

white, then spun on her heel and stormed off down the corridor.

Her heels clicked angrily against the floor as she disappeared around the corner. The sound faded into

silence, leaving only the steady breathing of the guards.

I turned to Lila with curiosity. “You two don’t seem to get along well.”

Lila’s expression immediately darkened. “I hate her,” she said with surprising vehemence.
