Chapter 161 “Look out!”

Elizabeth moved like a storm unleashed, shoving Elijah aside and stepping in front of him.

Asher’s fist, despite his attempt to pull back, carried the unstoppable momentum of a runaway train.

It struck Elizabeth square on the shoulder, her bare skin reddening instantly from the impact.

His glare fixed on Asher, as cold and sharp as frostbite.

The air between them crackled with tension.
