Elizabeth believed it too.

Her eyes narrowed with a flicker of disdain as she glanced at Elijah and deliberately stepped on his foot.

Her casual shoes made the action gentle yet audacious, laden with silent contempt.

Daxton, meanwhile, subtly lowered his gaze to conceal the hint of amusement twinkling there.

Defying Elijah was a rarity no one dared, but Elizabeth unflinchingly did sofor another man.

Enraged, Elijah barked, Elizabeth! Unfazed, she continued, tugging Daxton by the sleeve toward the waiting police car.

Daxton paused to give Elijah a courteous nod, then held the car door open for Elizabeth.

Together, they slipped inside.

The police officers, spectators to this bold display, wished they could vanish.

One seasoned officer finally mustered the courage to approach Elijah.
