Chapter 288 Elizabeth stepped into the corridor, her eyes landing on Scarlett and Scarletts mother, Lily, perched on a bench like a pair of forlorn statues.

Scarlett, once poised and polished, now resembled a shattered porcelain dollher hair a windswept mess and her once-crisp outfit caked in dust.

Lilys eyes brightened when she saw Elizabeth.

Scarlett didnt intend to cause trouble! These roads are treacherous, and accidents happen constantly.

Elijah and Oliver walked in.

Oliver stepped forward, his tone precise.

Scarletts vacant eyes suddenly focused.
