She pushed Ste out of the room firmly, her tone decisive.


    “Mom’s not feeling great today, and she’s not in the mood to see visitors.


    ”


    Ste stood her ground.


    “Margery needs the dress early.


    You didn’t inform me; I’ll hold you ountable for thister.


    Now, let me see Be.


    Otherwise, it’s on you if things go south.


    ”


    A hint of panic shed across Elizabeth’s eyes, but then she regained herposure.


    She knew Ste had no proof, and if Ste failed to deliver the dress, her reputation would be ruined.


    ncing at the dress in Ste’s hand, she gave her a strong push.


    “Just leave!”


    Ste wasn’t prepared for the sudden force.


    Caught off guard, she stumbled backward, losing her bnce and falling to the ground.


    The dress slipped from her grasp.

    Elizabeth walked forward and looked down condescendingly at Ste and the dress on the ground.


    She crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed.


    “I told you back then not to do things you can’t do, and yet you kept pestering my mom just because you can draw a few design sketches,” she said patronizingly.


    “Mom’s really mad at you right now.


    If you know what’s good for you, you should just scram!”


    Ste ignored her and picked up the dress without hesitation.


    Part of the dress was made of


    lace, so she was worried that it might get damaged.


    Elizabeth watched as Ste opened the bag and realized what thetter was about to do.


    She instantly raised her foot, but before she could kick, someone suddenly shoved her hard.


    It happened so fast that she didn’t even see who it was.


    “ARI”


    A piercing scream rang in the air.


    Ste paused and turned instinctively just in time to see Elizabeth tumble and fall to the ground.


    Suddenly, Ste felt her arm being grabbed, and then the bag that she was holding was taken away.


    She looked up in bewilderment.


    Matthew had a displeased expression on his face, but when he spoke to her, his voice was gentle.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    “Are you all right?” he asked.


    Ste nodded and hurriedly took the bag from Matthew.


    After checking the contents and seeing that the dress was undamaged, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    This dress was the result of the hard work and efforts of a lot of people.


    There was no way she was going to let it get ruined on her watch.


    At that moment, Elizabeth realized that Matthew was the one who shoved her just now.


    She immediately felt very upset about this.


    “I didn’t do anything! Why did you push me all of a sudden?” she shouted at him in indignation.


    “Where are your manners as a gentleman?”


    Despite her obvious fury, Matthew coolly nced at the security camera on the wall.


    “Are you sure you didn’t do anything? Should I get the surveince footage so everyone can see what you tried to do?”


    Earlier, when he arrived, he saw Elizabeth about to kick Ste.


    If he hadn’t intervened in time, Ste would have fallen down the stairs in front of her, and there was no telling what would have happened next.


    As he thought about what had almost taken ce, Matthew’s expression grew frostier.
