Chapter 295 Daxton guided Elijah to a quiet corner and then stopped.

Elijah flicked open a pack of cigarettes, lighting one with ease, taking a long drag before speaking in a frosty tone.

Keep your distance from Elizabeth.

Shes an individual.

You cant control her, nor can you dictate who she can be friends with.

Daxtons usual warmth faded, replaced by an icy detachment that mirrored Elijahs own demeanor.

Friends? Elijah blew out a cloud of smoke, his voice dry.

Shes just a distant relative of yours.

Daxton, propped against the tree, smirked.

Mr.

Norris, have you forgotten? The moment you took over the Norris Group, you were eager to cut ties with my family.

Elijahs voice remained steady, but there was an edge of gravity now.

Youve made choices that have taken your life out of your control.

Hers is simple.

If you really care about hereven a littleyoud stay out of it.

I would give my life to keep her safe.

And at least I dont have some manipulative dream girl.

The emotional scars shes carrying because of you could take away half of her life.

Daxton pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, his lips curling into a half-smile as he glanced at Elijah, his eyelids heavy.

Their gazes met, both of them standing their ground.

The mountain air was still, broken only by the rustling of the wind through the trees.

After a long, tense silence, Elijah looked away first, flicking his cigarette aside as it burned out.

Stop entertaining those thoughts.
