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.

Sandra, let it go.

Dont say too much.

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

Elizabeths voice was calm, yet her words carried a sharp edge.

James, were to leave, the stock price of the James Group would take a hit.

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.

Finally, Oliver stepped forward, taking Elizabeths backpack and slinging it over his shoulder.
