Chapter 34 Episode 34

Watching him intently, Elizabeth thought of nothing but how brazenly deceitful he was—pretending to be a devoted husband while clinging to his first love.

The man she once cherished now evoked nothing but revulsion.

With a scoff of disbelief, Elizabeth locked eyes with him.

Elijah opened his mouth to reply, but Elizabeth interrupted sharply.

“You’re trying to buy off the role I’ve poured my heart into, just to hand it over to Sandra.
