Chapter 267 Elizabeths eyes narrowed slightly but shifted focus.

What do we have to eat? she asked, her tone casual.

We had fresh prawns delivered today.

A hint of regret flashed across Willows face, as she had accidentally mentioned the prawns she planned to keep for herself.

Prawns will do.

Bring them to my room when theyre ready, she instructed, her voice leaving no room for discussion.

Willows smile returned, though it barely reached her eyes.

Of course, Mrs.

James, she said, bowing her head slightly.

Elizabeth didnt respond, simply closing the door.

She wasnt one for unnecessary pleasantries, especially not with someone she instinctively distrusted.

The moment the door clicked shut, Willows polite facade crumbled.

She scowled at the door, her lips twisting into a sneer.

Arrogant snob, she muttered under her breath, her voice dripping with venom.

The warm steam from her shower clung to her skin, soothing away the fatigue of the day.

Wrapped in a soft robe, Elizabeth sat on the sofa and opened her laptop.

Out of curiosity, she checked Twitter.
