Chapter 111

I swear, maybe I was not clear enough, but Whitney, why the backstabbing?” Elaine frowned innocently.

Whitney shot her a frosty look, eyeing the real backstabber. At the café earlier, she had not realized Elaine was playing the long game, so she had not recorded anything. Now, she was left empty handed.

Elaine’s eyes brimmed with mist, bitterness lacing her gaze as she looked at Ludwik. “The Lotus Clubhouse, i genuinely heard it was a great place to eat. If Bro thinks I had ulterior motives, then I’ve got nothing more to Say”

You’re so innocent. Your tweets must be, too,” Whitney scoffed as she opened Twitter, finding only a few sparse posts from Elaine – the incriminating one already deleted.

Whitney’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Slyly provoking me and then hastily deleting the evidence. But you know, the picture you took was quite atmospheric. Surely you won’t mind if I show L.”

Tiana had sent the picture to her.

Whitney handed her phone to the man.

He took it and glanced at the selfie where Elaine was snuggled up close to him. It could be misinterpreted. But Nolan and Parker were also in the frame.

Ludwik gave Whitney a look that said she was overreacting.

Just then, Elaine caught Ludwik’s expression and immediately covered her eyes, starting to sob pitifully. “Whitney, when you’re out to get someone, any excuse will do. Don’t I even have the freedom to tweet about work anymore? Yes, I deleted it. I’d had a drink that day, was not thinking straight, and then I worried you’d see Bro at the bar and get the wrong idea about him. I’m so considerate towards you, yet why do you always target

me?”

She played the part of a saint perfectly, her tone a mixture of innocence and vulnerability, almost pitiable.

Whitney’s smirk froze over.

The doctor, unaware of the full situation and seeing Elaine’s ‘bullied‘ demeanor paired with Whitney’s more dominant presence, guessed what was happening and could not help but feel for the beautiful but seemingly wronged woman. “I’ve come to update you on Natalie’s condition. Thanks to Elaine’s timely acupuncture, her epilepsy has improved significantly, and she’s resting in the neurology department.”
