Chapter 247 Albin watched the restaurant entrance until Elizabeth’s figure vanished into the night.

He turned to his friends, disbelief etched on his face.

“Quick! Tell me—am I seeing things? Was that woman just now Elizabeth, Elijah’s wife?”

Elijah and Sandra had just left, and Albin and his friends entered shortly after through the side door.

His friends nodded in affirmation.

“Yeah, that was Elizabeth,” one said.

“And the man with her? That was Alexander, the Crawford family playboy,” added another.

Albin’s expression darkened.

“Damn! Did you hear him? That jerk actually called Elizabeth his girlfriend! What does that make Elijah? If he’s after my buddy’s wife, he has me to deal with!” Albin slammed his fist onto the table, standing abruptly.

But as his gaze swept the restaurant, Alexander’s seat was already empty.

The waiters had cleared the table, leaving no trace of the man who had stirred his anger.

Alexander had totally vanished.

His friends quickly intervened, pulling him back into his chair.

“Albin, don’t do something rash,” one cautioned.

“Yeah, calm down.

If you make a scene, people might think she’s your girlfriend,” teased another, earning a sharp glare.

“More importantly,” another friend chimed in, “this isn’t something you can act on impulsively.

If you want to deal with Alexander, it has to be on Elijah’s orders.

Otherwise, it’ll only make things worse.”

“Right,” someone agreed.

“You should contact Elijah first.”
