When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Elizabeth realized that Matthew had seen it all.

As the look on his face darkened and turned colder, she immediately stopped her fake tears.

The commotion outside grew louder and louder to the point that even Bella, who was in the room, could hear it.

Braving her migraine, she went out, and as soon as she reached the door, she saw Elizabeth sprawled awkwardly on the ground.

Alarmed, she hurriedly went over and helped Elizabeth up.

“What in the world happened to you?” she asked worriedly.

“Why are you on the ground?”

Elizabeth pursed her lips and shook her head with a wronged expression on her face.

“I’m fine.

I just slipped, that’s all.

”

She worded it that way deliberately to maintain her good image.

Plus, it would work in her favor.

After all, anyone who saw this scene would think that she was lying.

Once Bella concluded that it was Stella who shoved her, Bella would definitely hate Stella even more.

And sure enough, when Bella spotted Matthew and Stella standing nearby while only Elizabeth was lying on the ground, she became even more convinced that Elizabeth had lied to her just now.
