Chapter 1283
When Love Comes Late
Elizabethâs expression grew icy.
âDonât reject a generous offer only to suffer later.
Iâll ask one last time.
How much to leave Matthew?â
Stella scoffed.
âWhatâs your price?â
Seeing a flicker of hope, Elizabeth regained her smug demeanor.
She held up a finger.
âTen million.
â
Stella burst into laughter, tears streaming from her eyes.
âDo you even realize Matthewâs status? Offering such a trivial sum for me to leave him? Are you underestimating me or Matthew? Is he only worth ten million to you?â
Elizabeth, speechless and infuriated, watched as Stellaâs laughter ceased and her tone turned serious.
âHow about I give you ten million to stay away from Matthew and me?â
Stella asked.
Elizabethâs face visibly darkened.
Taking a deep breath, she hissed, âHow dare you insult me? Donât you know who I am? Iâm Elizabeth Wallace, and no one has ever dared cross me like that!â
Stellaâs smile widened, a hint of mockery dancing in her eyes.
âIf you keep causing trouble and harassing me, Iâll ensure your days are filled with nothing but insults.
â
Elizabethâs anger reached a boiling point.
Fists clenched, she trembled violently.
Taking a lunging step, she aimed a slap at Stellaâs face.
But Stella, prepared for the outburst, effortlessly sidestepped the attack.
The momentum sent Elizabeth stumbling forward.
Gripping the washbasin, she spun around, a ferocious glare aimed at Stella.
Standing upright, she raised her hand again, determined to succeed.
Stella, though able to avoid another slap, felt a tinge of anger at Elizabethâs persistence.
She snapped, âYou can continue this disruption on set, but know this:
I have the power to kick you out, stripping you of the lead role entirely.

The threat struck a chord, but Elizabeth refused to back down completely.
With a cold sneer, she met Stellaâs gaze.
âSo, youâre still aiming to steal my role as the heroine?â
Stella returned the stare, her voice chilling.
âIf your performance is subpar, and your presence undermines the crew, someone more suited will replace you in no time.
â
Elizabeth, surprisingly, fell silent.
Her expression seemed almost calm.
Two deliberate steps brought her closer to Stella.
Just as Stella thought sheâd leave, two sharp sounds echoed in the small bathroom.
Elizabeth had slapped herself, twice, with brutal force.
Each blow left its mark on her delicate face.
Before Stella could react, Elizabethâs actions had left her bewildered and speechless.
âWhat in the world are you doing?â Stella asked.
