Chapter 1319
When Love Comes Late
The footage showed Leo and Stella in disarray, making any denial impossible.
Elizabeth now had the pleasure of watching Stellaâs downfall, as her good name was tarnished and she was cast aside.
Interrupting Stella with a smug grin, Elizabeth said, âLetâs skip the small talk.
Will you hand over that costume, or are we going to hold up everyone else?â
Stella pursed her lips and shot a quick look at both of them before deciding to give in and change out of the costume.
As Stella walked by, Elizabeth whispered just loud enough for her to hear, âYouâre no match for me, Stella.
â
Stella faced Elizabeth, her expression unreadable, her tone detached.
âIâm onto you and your schemes.
I will uncover the truth.

Elizabeth laughed it off, saying, âBy all means, search for this so-called evidence, but the spotlight belongs to me now.
â
Stella responded with a faint smile, âMaybe, maybe not.

Resting in his hospital bed with his injuries newly treated, Leo was deep in thought.
He was surrounded by mounting debts and struggled to find a solution.
Before he could strategize, the door burst open.
Leoâs eyes flew open as several well-dressed men walked in.
Fear took hold of him, and he instinctively tried to get up and escape.
However, the men quickly surrounded his bed, and the sound of the door locking sent a shiver through Leo.
Leo moved to the corner of the bed, his eyes moving frantically.
âDidnât I ask for three days to get the money together? Why have you come early?â
âWeâre not here for money,â said the man in the middle.
Leo frowned.
Not for the money? He watched them closely, still on guard.

ho are you? Why are you here?â
The man didnât answer his questions.
Instead, he said, âIâm here for something you have.
Give it up willingly, and youâll be fine.
But if you resistâ¦â He pulled out a dagger from his jacket and stabbed the bedside table.
âYouâll face serious consequences.
â
âAh!â Leo pulled back, shaking.
âIâll do whatever you want.
If itâs something I have, itâs yours.
Just donât hurt me.
â
âGive us the footage,â the man stated plainly.
Leo hesitated, then shook his head.
âI donât have it.
After my accident on the set, I was brought here.
I havenât been near the camera.
â
The man frowned.
âIf thatâs the case, tell us who your partner is.
â
Leo was scared and thought about naming Elizabeth.
Yet, he remembered her promise and felt a spark of hope.
He decided to contact Elizabeth once he was out of the hospital, trusting she would support him.
