Elijah remained silent as his gaze sternly fixed upon her.

“Eli, let me explain…” Jennifer stammered, feeling uneasy. “Don’t jump to conclusions. It was just a casual chat.”

Beads of sweat formed on Jennifer’s forehead. She felt anxious as she was unsure how much of her conversation with Katie he had overheard. She decided to play innocent and act clueless.

Hearing his tone, Jennifer’s right hand clutched the bed sheet tightly, wondering if Elijah had heard everything.

“Nothing. I was just chatting casually with a friend. Don’t you believe me?” She desperately avoided his scrutinizing gaze, feigning innocence.

Elijah ignored her pitiful expression, cutting through her facade with his gaze that was as sharp as blades. “You should know that even if you don’t confess, I can still have someone investigate. But by then, I won’t give you any more chances.”
