Chapter 309

"Ludwik, don't be too hard on Ms. Valentine," Elaine said with a pout, her voice tinged with a hint of injury. "I just wanted to grab her to explain a bit more. Maybe I annoyed her, and she pushed me by accident. It didn't really hurt." As she rubbed her knee, her skirt lifted slightly, revealing a large red swelling.

Ludwik's eyes narrowed at the sight.

Whitney watched the scene with amused curiosity.

Normally unflappable, Ludwik turned to see Whitney's indifferent face, which didn't even spare him a glance!

For some reason, a flare of irritation sparked within him. Frowning, he said, "Elaine was talking to you. If you didn't want to engage, you could've politely excused yourself. Why push her?"

"Me, push her?" Whitney was taken aback by his usual domineering attitude.

Rolling her eyes internally, she retorted, "Perhaps, Mr. Lippert, you should check the surveillance footage. There are plenty of aids for those who are visually impaired!"

Was it so hard for her to speak nicely? Flirting with every other man, but with him, she was loaded for bear?

Ludwik's irritation grew. With a cold huff, he said, "Surveillance can be about angles. Aren't my own eyes trustworthy enough?"

Whitney was speechless.

She could only marvel at his audacity, sarcastically offering, "Mr. Lippert makes big bucks, yet can't afford to get his eyes checked? Here's a little charity for you."

"You're out of line. Stick to the point. Apologize to Elaine."

"Stick to the point? Do you even know she was just helping Endora gang up on Tiana?" Whitney shot back coldly.

Why did she even bother expecting anything different?

Throughout the three years Tiana was harassed and framed by Endora and Elaine, did he ever intervene?

Seems like his animosity towards her had extended to Tiana too!

Ludwik's brows furrowed slightly. He had been discussing business on the other side and was unaware of the confrontation until Elaine's cry.

"Was there a disagreement just now?" Ludwik asked, his tone slightly confused.

Whitney couldn't be bothered with him anymore.

Elaine quickly wrapped her arms around Ludwik's waist, feigning fragility. "It's nothing serious, Ludwik, just a small misunderstanding. Ms. Valentine and I have cleared it up. I know you're worried about me, but let's not make it difficult for them." She subtly flaunted their closeness.

The onlookers, influenced by Ludwik's concerned behavior towards Elaine, whispered among themselves.
