Chapter 255

Elaine stood her ground, waiting for the woman to give way. In Banyan City, she was pampered, a socialite whose path was never obstructed, a queen in her own right.

Yet the woman before her didn’t budge, almost as if she was intentionally blocking Elaine’s

way.

Impatient, Elaine nodded subtly to her side.

The female bodyguard, imposing and fierce, stepped forward. “Can’t you see Mrs. Lippert is here? Scram!”

Whitney crossed her arms, a grin spreading across her face. “Well, if it isn’t Mrs. Lippert!”

That voice, slightly hoarse…

Elaine, stunned for a moment, felt a sense of familiarity. She sharply lifted her head.

When she saw the haunting visage behind the veil, Elaine’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Whitney?” she exclaimed, staring at Whitney as her phone clattered to the floor. She stumbled backward, screaming, “Ghost! A ghost!”

“Elaine?” The bodyguard rushed to support her.

“How are you here? You’re supposed to be dead!” Elaine, gripping with fear and almost wetting herself, stared at Whitney.

When she finally saw Whitney’s shadow, Elaine’s face turned ashen, and she murmured with a mix of calm and trepidation, “You… You didn’t die?”

Impossible. Elaine had watched the destruction of a woman’s body that the rescue team had retrieved years ago!

Whitney stepped closer, her cold laugh making her pale face even more chilling. “Disappointed I’m not dead? You seem awfully sure. It’s as if you were there that night, forcing me, a pregnant woman, to the brink, watching me plunge into the ocean depths!”

Elaine quickly regained her composure, her gaze turning sinister.

The bodyguard immediately blocked the two socialites trying to enter and closed the restroom

door.

Elaine sized up Whitney, completely unharmed and now even more radiant than before, her jealousy evident.

She smirked coldly. “So you survived the ocean? They say the wicked live long. Have you been hiding these past three years, hoping to scare me today?

Whitney, wake up. Three years ago, I completely obliterated you. What makes you think you can make a comeback?”
