How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 312

To Sylvie, the scene unfolding before her was almost unbelievable.

Klein didn't hesitate for even a second-his intention was clear as he strode purposefully toward Elodie.

A man of Klein's stature never goes out of his way to show deference to others. Normally, people would be lining up for the honor of being acknowledged by him, hoping for even a moment in his presence.

But this time, Klein was the one introducing himself to Elodie.

Sylvie felt a sudden, inexplicable sinking in her chest.

By all rights, if someone like Elodie was faced with such a rare opportunity, she'd be the one making the effort, eager to cultivate the connection. Yet now, the roles had reversed.

Sylvie's brow furrowed deeply. She couldn't make sense of it for the moment.

Just then, Jarrod finished his phone call and walked over.

His dark, thoughtful eyes also took in the scene unfolding nearby.

Klein seemed to be in a very good mood as he approached Elodie and offered his hand with surprising warmth.

Elodie met him with calm composure, her expression polite and unassuming as she shook his hand.
