Chapter 303 Carrie was about to ask Sandra something, but her words caught in her throat when she noticed Elijah still lingering nearby.

She clamped her lips shut, swallowing her thoughts.

When it came to anything involving Sandra, Elijah was as partial as the sun favoring one side of the mountain.

If she dared to dig for clues, he would likely bury any evidence that could expose Sandras wrongdoings.

Elizabeth knew that if Elijah got involved, her search for proof would be as futile as trying to catch the wind in her hands.

Her mind whirred, calculating her next move, before she pulled out her phone to brainstorm a fresh story idea.

As Katrina, the screenwriter, it felt like centuries since she had last penned a script.

Just as she was crafting the protagonists traits, the car rolled to a halt.

Before she had a chance to look up, Sandra swiveled around, her voice loud and full of cheer.

Sweetheart, weve arrived! Out you go! Elijahs sleek car stopped at the roadside, immediately drawing the curious eyes of passersby.

As Elizabeth stepped out of the car, her door clicking shut behind her, she noticed the principal approaching, arms laden with groceries.

The moment his eyes landed on her, recognition lit his face.

With a wide smile, he hurried over.

Elizabeth! Where did you and Mr.

James head off to today for some fun? Spotting the luxurious vehicle and recalling his previous encounter with Daxton at the school, he naturally assumed the two had been out together.

Hearing this, Elijah exited the car, his face a thundercloud waiting to erupt.

He strode toward Elizabeth, his steps deliberate and his eyes blazing, before asking in a tone sharp enough to cut glass, And who might this be? With their divorce hovering like a storm cloud, Elizabeth had no intention of letting Elijah get tangled up with the people in her life.

She hesitated, scrambling for an excuse to steer the conversation elsewhere.

The principal, however, seemed to have a lightbulb moment.
