My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

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.

She rose quickly, her voice pleading.

Elizabeth, please talk to your husband.

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.

Mrs.

Norris, this wasnt an accident.

She deliberately drove into our vehicle.

As a truck passed, she panicked and accelerated, smashing our side mirror and leaving a meter-long scratch.

The cars custom paint and interior cant be repaired locallyit will need to be sent abroad for restoration.

Scarletts vacant eyes suddenly focused.

She stood abruptly, interrupting Oliver with disbelief, Mrs.

Norris? Isnt she your wife? Didnt you share a bottle of water with her? Her words hung in the air, revealing her shock at discovering Elizabeths relationship with Elijah.

Scarlett gazed at Elijah, whose anger-darkened face remained devastatingly handsomealmost celestial in its beauty.
