Episode 43

Could it be that she had been at the hospital for a genuine follow-up on her own injury? He realized he may have misjudged her intentions.

Elijah’s features subtly tightened.

Oliver, quick to notice the shift in his boss’s expression, cautiously continued, “The fire was quite intense at that time, and several media outlets managed to capture photographs at the scene.

I spoke with the doctor who treated Mrs.

Norris afterward.

He described her wounds as severe, almost exposing the bone.

Thankfully, though critical, they avoided any vital structures.

She’ll likely need a long series of cosmetic surgeries and treatments to fully recover.

He even mentioned that had the injuries been slightly different, they could have compromised her ability to walk.”

Oliver had brought the necessary documents earlier, secured in a folder, but only now did Elijah take the opportunity to review them.

As he did, Oliver quickly sifted through the stack of papers, pulling out the medical records and images and laying them before Elijah.

Elijah’s gaze landed on a photo of Elizabeth being rescued, her face darkened with soot, stripped of her usual composure, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and confusion.

His gaze then shifted to her leg—elegant and straight but marred by a severe wound.

Considering her delicate nature, it astonished him that she hadn’t mentioned her injuries.

He had always ensured that she lived a life of luxury.

Yet seeing her endure such pain now stirred a sharp pang of heartache in him, mixed with a profound sense of guilt.

Elijah slid the photos face down on the table, his eyes shifting away as he instructed, “Handle this.

Control the media narrative—whether it’s Sandra or Elizabeth, keep it under wraps.

Clear my schedule for tomorrow morning.

I need everything canceled.

I’m going to the hotel to bring her back.”

“Understood,” Oliver responded with a nod, a wave of relief washing over him.

The ongoing strain of his boss’s marital troubles had worn him down, but this time, Elijah seemed genuinely concerned for Elizabeth, not just for Sandra.

Meanwhile, Ruby was pushing forward with noticeable progress.

The cameraman who had been assigned to capture behind-the-scenes footage had indeed recorded the pivotal audition scenes.

However, cautious of crossing the production team and Elijah, he hesitated to hand over the footage to Ruby.

But Ruby, from a well-connected and affluent family, wasn’t one to give up easily.

She dangled a more lucrative job offer and a substantial reward before him, ultimately securing the coveted video.

With expert editing, she uploaded the audition clip to Twitter.
