Chapter 1805

    He answered quickly, his tone impatient.


    “What’s up?”


    In the background, Elizabeth could hear faintughter of a woman.


    She knew without seeing that Kristian was likely entertaining another woman in Be’s absence.


    She was unfazed by the background noise.


    Lowering her voice, Elizabeth said to Kristian, “It seems Ste is bing suspicious.


    You need to be more vignt and act quickly.


    We must work together to ensure no issues arise.


    Our goal is topletely tarnish Ste’s reputation in Dorburn and erode Be’s trust in her.


    We have to drive her out.


    ”


    After rifying their n, Elizabeth ended the call, but her grip on the phone remained tight, her eyes reflecting a hint of resentment.


    Meanwhile, as the car pulled into Prosper Bay, Ste’s mind was elsewhere.


    “What’s wrong? You’ve seemed distracted since we left Be’s ce.

    Matthew observed, breaking her reverie.


    Ste sighed and replied, “I’m curious about Elizabeth…”


    She paused, and then continued, looking earnestly at Matthew, “Didn’t you notice how odd she acted? Especially when I mentioned arranging a doctor for Be, she seemed almost frightened.


    And Be looked unwell today.


    It’s concerning.


    ”


    Matthew tried to reassure her, “It might be nothing serious.


    Elizabeth probably just prefers to keep health issues private and is wary of outsiders.


    Remember, Be is her mother.


    Despite Elizabeth’s faults, it’s unlikely she’d harm her.


    ”


    Ste gave a slight nod, somewhat reassured by his words.


    “You’re right.


    ”


    Yet, Elizabeth’s reaction still nagged at her.


    Seeing her continued unease, Matthew took her hand gently and suggested, “If you’re still worried, I’ll arrange for Cordell to meet Be and assess her condition.


    ”


    “Okay,” Ste agreed quickly, relieved at the prospect of a professional evaluation.


    Rxed and grateful, Ste wrapped her arms around Matthew’s neck and ki*sed him on the cheek.


    “Thank you, darling!”


    Three dayster…


    As they drove to thepany, Ste updated Matthew on the project’s progress.


    Recently, Elizabeth had been unusually busy and hadn’t interfered, allowing Ste to work more effectively.


    She coborated smoothly with the clothing department, and some garments were ready for further inspection today.


    She shared all these details with Matthew.


    With a serene expression, Matthew smiled and suggested, “You’ve been working so hard.


    How about we take a holiday after this project wraps up?”


    “Let’s talk about itter,” Ste replied, her mind elsewhere.


    Noticing her downcast gaze, Matthew asked, “What’s bothering you?”
