Chapter 1674
When Love Comes Late
How could Elizabeth effortlessly attain the affections of a man whom she had struggled to capture?
Jovie found herself unwilling to accept this reality.
Simultaneously, she felt a pang of jealousy toward Elizabeth for once having such a remarkable man.
Her expression darkening, Jovie retorted, âSo what? I plan to invite him as my plus-one to the Prosperity Group CEOâs wedding.
Heâll surely accept.
â
Observing Jovieâs arrogant demeanor, Elizabeth couldnât help but chuckle.
âReally? Iâm afraid youâll be disappointed.
Andrew wonât be your plus-one.
â
Jovie, her anger simmering, bit her lip fiercely.
âAnd why are you so sure?â
Elizabeth regarded her with a mix of sympathy and disdain before sneering, âBecause he just agreed to be my plus-one.
â
After her confident assertion, Elizabeth paid no further heed to Jovie, whose face now flushed with anger.
Elizabeth strode past her and addressed the shop assistant, saying, âRemove the dress and let me try it on.
â
The shop assistant promptly complied, removing the dress without delay.
Completely disregarded, Jovie seethed with rage as she sensed the whispers and stares of those around her.
Enraged, she spun around to find Elizabeth heading toward the fitting room with the dress in hand.
Acting on impulse, Jovie lunged forward, attempting to snatch the dress and tear it apart.
However, Elizabeth was prepared for such a reaction.
With nimble reflexes, she evaded Jovieâs grasp.
In her attempt, Jovie missed and stumbled to the floor with a heavy thud.
Amused by the spectacle, Tanya swiftly took out her phone to record the scene and burst into laughter.
âThat was quite a tumble! Everyone, take a look at her pitiful state.
â
Jovie seethed with such intense fury that she felt the urge to rush forward and tear both Elizabeth and Tanya apart.
âYou witch! Turn off that camera!â She snarled at Tanya.
Tanya merely snorted in response.
âAre you going to attack me? Iâm trembling in fear.
But let me remind you, the camera is still recording.
If you donât want everyone to witness your embarrassing outburst, I suggest you refrain from acting recklessly.
â
Jovieâs expression contorted with rage, her eyes burning with hatred.
âYouâve crossed the line!â
âI certainly donât think so.
â As Elizabeth observed Jovieâs evident embarrassment, her gaze hardened, brimming with intensity.
âYouâd be wise not to provoke me further.
I have numerous methods for dealing with a clueless imbecile like you!â
Jovie attempted to retort, but Elizabeth swiftly crushed her hand underfoot, eliciting a sharp cry of agony.
Struggling to free her hand, Jovie winced in pain as Elizabeth exerted more strength.
Elizabeth, thoroughly pleased with herself, withdrew her foot and remarked, âAre you leaving now?â
Clutching her injured hand, Jovie gazed up at Elizabethâs malevolent eyes, feeling a surge of fear.
Trembling, she hastily fled the scene.
As Jovieâs retreating figure vanished, Elizabethâs demeanor returned to its composed state, and she proceeded calmly to the fitting room.
