My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

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.

Asher froze, his arm still extended, the reality of his mistake sinking in.

“Elizabeth… are you okay?”

“What the hell were you thinking?!” Elijah’s voice cracked like a whip, fury blazing in his eyes as he took in the swelling bruise on Elizabeth’s shoulder.

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

The air between them crackled with tension.

With deliberate carelessness, Elijah shrugged off his expensive suit jacket, letting it fall to the ground like discarded paper.

It was a gesture of disdain, a warning bell tolling for trouble.

Elizabeth felt her stomach drop.
