Be believed she owed Elizabeth nothing.


    She was fed up with Elizabeth ming everyone else without any self-reflection.


    “Get out of here.


    Go back to Dorburn,” Be said firmly.


    “And don’t ever show your face to me again.


    ”


    Kristian, seeing Be agitated, quickly intervened.


    “Calm down, you need to rest,” he urged her.


    “I’ll handle this.


    ”


    Be retreated upstairs without another word, eager to avoid any further confrontation with Elizabeth.


    It was only after she had vanished from view that Kristian pulled Elizabeth aside.

    His frown was deep as he chided her, “What are you thinking? Why provoke her now? This is only making things worse.

    Elizabeth, seething with anger, said nothing.


    “You see how things are,” Kristian pressed on.


    “It’s only going to get worse if you stay.


    The best thing you can do now is leave.


    ”


    Elizabeth looked as if she wanted to argue.


    Kristian cut her off.


    “Don’t argue with me.


    Yesterday, I heard Be was ready to formally announce Ste as the sessor of the studio.


    If this continues, and Be discovers the truth about her rtionship with Ste, she might just leave everything to Ste.


    ”


    As he spoke, Kristian repeatedly reassured Elizabeth of the reliability of his information.


    Feeling cornered, Elizabeth finally spoke up, her voice low.


    “I understand.


    I’ll take responsibility and won’t expose you.


    ”


    Relieved by her understanding, Kristian’s expression softened.


    Elizabeth quickly shifted the focus, her tone harsh.


    “But you must promise me a share of Be’s assets.


    If you’re lying to me, I’m prepared to drag you down to hell with me.


    ”


    Kristian assured her firmly, “Don’t worry.


    As long as I secure that inheritance, you’ll get your fair share.


    ”


    Once Elizabeth calmed down, Kristian allowed himself a sigh of relief.


    In Prosper Bay, Ste was getting ready to visit Be when she noticed Lindsay stepping out of


    a car.


    Surprised, she didn’t understand why Lindsay had arrived so early; they had nned to meetter in the day.


    Approaching Ste with a smile, Lindsay asked, “Are you heading out? Did Ie at a bad time?”


    Ste spoke softly.


    “It’s okay.


    I was expecting youter this afternoon.


    ”


    With a look of remorse, Lindsay replied, “I should have told you sooner.


    I was cooking with Grandma, and she suggested I bring some over.


    Since we nned to meet up, I thought the morning would be as good as the afternoon.


    If it’s inconvenient now, I can leave the food ande backter.


    ”


    Seeing Lindsay at her doorstep, Ste had no reason to turn her away, especially since she was practically family.


    “It’s alright,” Ste reassured her, opening the gate wider.


    “I’m free today.


    ”


    Kristian was taking care of Be, and Elizabeth would return to Dorburn soon.


    Ste decided she could visit Be another time.
