How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 488

Even Alexander had to admit he was surprised by Patricia's bluntness. It was as if she couldn't wait to drag Elodie out of her misery.

For Elodie, this was the first time she'd ever encountered someone quite like Patricia. And to top it off, Patricia had even pulled Watts into the conversation. Patricia studied Elodie, eyes narrowed in thought before a slow smile curled on her lips. "Honestly, I think Mr. Silverstein has terrible taste."

"I have to agree with you, Miss Aldridge," Alexander said, not even trying to hide his approval.

Terrible taste? That didn't even begin to cover it.

He'd mistaken a pebble for a diamond, that's all.

Elodie genuinely appreciated that Patricia had come over to congratulate her, but... Well, she felt she'd made things perfectly clear with Watts already.

"I know you need time to think it over, and that's fine. My brother, you know, he seems like he doesn't care about anything, but when it comes to his feelings, he's actually incredibly picky. Take your time,” Patricia said, grinning as she patted Elodie's shoulder, effectively shutting down any attempt at further explanation.

"Miss Aldridge, are you trying to get Elodie into trouble?" Alexander raised an eyebrow.

Patricia turned to him, arms crossed. "Well, since Mr. Silverstein already has such a charming companion by his side, I think Ms. Thorne deserves her own happiness too. She ought to stay far away from him-better yet, cut ties completely. I'm just trying to save her from the fire."

Alexander couldn't help but be a little impressed by Patricia's boldness.
