My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage
Chapter 309

Yaras livestream painted a tragic picture, her bruised face and pitiful demeanor stirring waves of sympathy from the gossip-hungry viewers.

With dramatic embellishments, she placed the blame squarely on Elizabeth, skillfully weaving a tale of seduction and betrayal.

Yara implied that Elizabeth, despite being married, had continued to seduce Nate Crawford, turning his unrequited love into a thirst for revenge.

The result, Yara claimed, was her own rape and near-death experience.

She punctuated her story with a forensic injury reportthough it contained no evidence to implicate Elizabeth directly, the official-looking documentation convinced viewers of Yaras narrative.

The sympathy poured in, but Yara wasnt interested in fighting a long battle.

Her goal was clear: to pressure Elizabeth into saving Olivers crumbling company.

The company in question was a family endeavor, originally founded by Elizabeths late mother, Danna.

She had used her savings and family resources to establish it, managing it herself in its early years.

However, after marrying Oliver, Danna shifted her focus to being a housewife, leaving the business in Olivers hands.

Under his management, the company faltered, and for the last few years, it had been teetering on the edge of collapse.

In his desperation, he tried to leverage Nates infatuation with Elizabeth to his advantage.

Now, with Elizabeth married to Elijah, his eyes had briefly turned to the Norris Group before intimidation held him back.

Why didnt that scumbag Nate Crawford marry that two-faced Yara in the first place? They seem hell-bent on dragging you down with them, Camille muttered, her irritation boiling over.

Across the table, Elizabeth tightened her grip on her knife and fork, her mind elsewhere.

She stabbed a piece of beef, dipped it absently into the sesame sauce Camille had prepared, and brought it to her lips.

Theyre not doing well now, so of course, they wont let me live peacefully, she said quietly.

The beef in her mouth was tasteless, her appetite dampened by the growing weight in her chest.

It wasnt the rumors about her that concerned Elizabeth the mostshe could handle those.

What worried her was the potential damage to the film crew she was working with.

Negative publicity could disrupt everything.

Fortunately, Yaras livestream didnt last long.

It was reported and swiftly taken down, though the damage had already begun to spread online.

Not long after, Elizabeths phone started ringing.

The first call was from Soren, his tone urgent.

Elizabeth, did you see your stepmothers livestream? Yes, Elizabeth replied, her voice heavy with fatigue.

And shes not my stepmothershes my late fathers daughter.

Last time, when I was kidnapped, Im certain she had a hand in it.

Soren sighed.

Ive been keeping tabs on your case, but the police still havent caught Nate.

Without a complete picture, its hard to hold Yara accountable.

He paused, his tone growing sharper.

Shutting down the livestream so quickly could make it look like someones trying to cover it up.

Was it Elijah who pulled the strings? Elizabeth blinked in surprise.

Wasnt it you? No, it wasnt me, Soren clarified.

By the time I found out about it, the livestream had already been shut down.

I checkedthe ban isnt just on her account.

Its one of the most severe bans possible.

Shes completely barred from appearing on any internet platform.

Nearby, Camilles eyes widened in shock.

Wow.

Completely banned? There have been less than three streamers in history whove faced that kind of punishment! A full platform ban was rare and reserved for severe cases.

It meant Yara couldnt create accounts, post content, or even appear in anyone elses streams or social media videos.

The punishment was a public signal of serious wrongdoing.

Elizabeth said into the phone, Got it.

Ill ask around.

Then she ended the call.

Her screen lit up with notifications.

Two missed callsone from Oliver and another from Ruby.

The sight of Olivers name gave her pause.

Elijah.

She was almost certain he had handled Yaras situation behind the scenes.

But she decided to return Rubys call first.

There were still explanations to be made, and Rubys opinion mattered to her.

Halfway through the conversation with Ruby, a WhatsApp notification popped up on Elizabeths screen.

It was from Soren.

His message contained another piece of bad news.
