My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 263 Elizabeth maintained a faint smile, her expression calm as she silently waited for Elijah to defend Sandra.

Instead, Elijah pressed his lips into a tight line and said, Ive fired the receptionist already.

Sandra scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically.

Oh, so youre just passing the blame now.

Ruby quickly pulled Sandra aside, giving her a warning glance.

Dont say too much.

Despite Elijahs attempt to shift accountability, it was clear to everyone that he was still protecting Sandra.

As she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, her sleeve slipped back, revealing the glaring red marks on her wrist.

Elijahs eyes lingered on the marks for a moment, his throat tightening as if the words he wanted to say wouldnt come out.

The atmosphere grew tense, with an awkward silence hanging in the air.
