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.

Ive always been more popular than yousince we were kids.

And mark my words, Ill marry better than you ever could.

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.

Good luck with that.

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.

At the alley entrance, Elizabeth spotted Oliver standing by the black luxury car, a bottle of water in hand.

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