Chapter 1375
When Love Comes Late
âNonsense!â Elizabethâs face drained of color, but she desperately denied the accusation.
âThatâs preposterous! I donât even know you!
Youâre the one who tried to r@pe me!â
Leoâs smirk widened.
âEvery word you said to me was recorded, Elizabeth.
Remember, Iâm a lawyer.
Youâre not the only one capable of playing dirty.
â
Elizabethâs body trembled violently, and she crumpled onto the nearby seat.
Yet, she continued to shake her head, vehemently denying the accusations.
The reporters swarmed her, their cameras flashing and microphones thrust forward.
âLeo publicly admitted your involvement.
Do you have anything to say in your defense?â
âDid you conspire with him to frame Stella?â
âWhat is the nature of your conflict with Stella?â
âShut up!â Overwhelmed by the barrage of questions, Elizabeth erupted in panic.
She glared daggers at Leo and screeched, âYou stupid fool!
I lured you into a little trap, and you fell for it.
This is entirely your own fault! Youâre completely incompetent! Why didnât you just die?â
Her vicious outburst stunned everyone present.
Leoâs sneer widened.
âThen let me play the recording in my hand for all the reporters.
They can judge for themselves who is truly in the wrong.
â
Elizabeth desperately lunged towards Leo, attempting to snatch the recording.
âEnough!â Suddenly, a womanâs furious voice cut through the chaos.
The crowd turned in unison.
When Elizabeth spotted Bella, she stood there frozen, her face betraying a mixture of surprise and confusion.
Bella, flanked by several individuals, approached with an unmistakable air of indignation.
She cast a fleeting glance at Elizabeth before positioning herself before Luther.
âForgive me, Luther.
My daughterâs lack of foresight has unfortunately embroiled you in considerable inconvenience,â Bella uttered in a subdued tone.
âI apologize to you on her behalf.
â
Despite harboring numerous grievances against Elizabeth, Luther, out of respect for Bella, begrudgingly put up with them.
He compressed his lips into a thin line and nodded, signaling his acceptance of the apology.
