The footage showed Leo and Ste in disarray, making any denial impossible.


    Elizabeth now had the pleasure of watching Ste’s downfall, as her good name was tarnished and she was cast aside.


    Interrupting Ste with a smug grin, Elizabeth said, “Let’s skip the small talk.


    Will you hand over that costume, or are we going to hold up everyone else?”


    Ste pursed her lips and shot a quick look at both of them before deciding to give in and change out of the costume.


    As Ste walked by, Elizabeth whispered just loud enough for her to hear, “You’re no match for me, Ste.


    ”


    Ste faced Elizabeth, her expression unreadable, her tone detached.


    “I’m onto you and your schemes.


    I will uncover the truth.

    He was surrounded by mounting debts and struggled to find a solution.


    Before he could strategize, the door burst open.

    The man didn’t answer his questions.


    Instead, he said, “I’m here for something you have.


    Give it up willingly, and you’ll be fine.


    But if you resist…” He pulled out a dagger from his jacket and stabbed the bedside table.


    “You’ll face serious consequences.

    The man frowned.


    “If that’s the case, tell us who your partner is.

    Leo was scared and thought about naming Elizabeth.


    Yet, he remembered her promise and felt a spark of hope.
