Chapter 275 Elizabeth would concoct the most outlandish excuses to defend Sandra.

Carrie simply replied, Understood, and made her way toward the dining room.

She had no desire to waste energy sparring over such futile arguments.

The logic was crystal clear to everyone.

Elijah wasnt some naive dreamer; his achievements spoke volumes about his intellect.

Yet when it came to Sandra, his stubbornness defied all reason.

Given this, Elizabeth could only bide her time, quietly gathering irrefutable proof of Sandras deceit.

The day she presented it to Elijah, she intended to shatter his illusions beyond repair.

Not that she expected him to leap to her defense once the truth was laid bare.

But every scrap of evidence she collected added weight to her position, strengthening her ability to keep his first love in check.

Willow walked into the dining room, placing the dishes carefully on the table.
