Episode 60

” Elizabeth, with deliberate steps, crossed into the neighboring neighborhood through the back gate.

As she emerged, the gleaming silver Maybach parked along the curb caught the eyes of passersby, drawing admiring looks.

Elizabeth made her way to the car and reached for the passenger door, only to find that Oliver had already swung open the back door.

Inside, Elijah was absorbed in his phone, perched on the opposite seat.

Chapter 30: Back to James Mansion With a slight frown, Elizabeth slipped into the backseat.
