Chapter 285 Scarletts eyes swept over Elizabeth, brimming with disdain.

Elizabeth, you always act like youre superior to everyone else.

Tell me, what successful man would ever be interested in someone like you? Elizabeth chuckled, unbothered.

You say that as if youre an expert on successful men.

Of course I am! Scarlett scoffed, flipping her hair dramatically.

The last part carried an edge, almost as if Scarlett needed to convince herself more than Elizabeth.

A flash of determination lit her eyes, her insecurities masked by false confidence.

Elizabeth smirked.

Without another word, she turned and walked away, her indifference stinging more than any insult could.

Scarletts jaw tightened, her hands clenching into fists.

She knew Elizabeths words werent sincere, but she couldnt find a flaw to attack.

Frustrated, she stomped her foot like a child denied their way.

Noticing her approach, Oliver set the bottle down on the drivers seat and stepped forward.
