“Mr.


    Lowell?”


    Bet hurried over, looked her over, and smiled broadly.


    “Good to see you’re okay.


    I heard some disturbing rumors and feared the worst.


    Seeing you up and about is a relief.


    ”


    Ste sensed an underlying concern in his greeting and instinctively stepped back.


    She smiled politely, interpreting Bet’s approach as another attempt at courting her.


    Just as she was about to reply, a harsh, angry voice interrupted, “Ste, you whore! You deserve to suffer!”


    Ste turned toward the sound.


    At the hospital entrance, a disheveled woman was charging toward her, clutching a bottle.


    As the woman tilted the bottle, liquid sshed onto the ground, fizzing up bubbles.


    Ste realized, in horror, that it was sulfuric acid.


    The attacker was Elizabeth.


    Ste was stunned into silence.


    On Elizabeth’s face was a look of intense hatred mixed with a sinister smile.


    With a fierce motion, she hurled the acid directly at Ste.


    “Go to hell, bitch!”


    Elizabeth’s reasoning was straightforward.


    Kristian was apprehended, and regardless of his loyalty to her, she knew she’d never ess Be’s wealt


    h.


    Her prospects looked grim.


    Ste’s seemingly effortless happiness was anchored in Matthew’s affection.


    If Ste’s looks were marred, surely Matthew would abandon her.


    How durable could their love be then? Ste would be discarded, left tonguish as Elizabeth had.


    Bet’s expression morphed into one of rm.


    “Be careful!”


    He threw himself in front of Ste and dragged her aside, managing to shield her from the brunt of the attack, but he suffered a ssh of acid on his back.


    The sulfuric acid made a corrosive sound.


    It was so harsh and terrifying that it sent a chill down Ste’s spine.


    “Mr.


    Lowell!” Ste screamed.


    She looked at Bet and saw his face turned pale with pain.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Her heart jolted, and her voice trembled.


    “Mr.


    Lowell, are you… Are you alright?”


    Ste never expected Bet to risk himself to protect her from the sulfuric acid.


    Her hands were shaking uncontrobly.


    “We need to take you to the emergency room.


    ”


    At this time, Matthew and Fernando came over.


    Matthew’s face darkened upon seeing the scene.


    He immediately ordered the bodyguards behind him.


    “Catch Elizabeth and take her to the police station.


    ”


    The bodyguards immediately stepped forward and subdued Elizabeth.


    Elizabeth struggled, screaming and cursing frantically, “Ste, you bitch! This is all your fault! You made me lose everything.


    You ruined my life, so you deserve to suffer.


    I’ll make sure you will rot in hell with me.
