SWNOVELS Chapter 4107
Olivia found herself at a loss for words.
After Dylan left, Laura, who was sitting across from Olivia, took a sip of her soup and said, “It’s unbelievable how humble Dylan seems now.
”
Olivia lowered her gaze and replied softly, “He has no choice.
”
Laura nodded solemnly.
“You are right.
It’s time for him to pay the price.

Meanwhile, in the VIP ward of the hospital, Sandra Lee lay in bed, surrounded by the best medical care money could buy.
Despite the luxurious setting, the prognosis was grim-she would never walk again.
Her misfortune was compounded by her mother, who, despite coming from a small town, had a knack for playing the innocent victim.

Back at Pryor Technology’s head office, a board meeting was hastily convened to deal with the unfolding crisis.
After a thorough discussion, they concluded that Elissa had to step forward and announce that Raphael and Sandra had ended their relationship well before the wedding.
In other words, Elissa had to stand by Raphael’s side through this.
This strategy seemed the best way to protect the company’s reputation and interests.

Although the light was off inside the room, the curtains were drawn.
A gentle glow filtered through the French window, casting a serene purple hue as the sun dipped below the horizon.
Elissa sat silently, leaning against the sofa and gazing out the window.

He made his way over to the sofa, settling down beside Elissa.
A fleeting impulse prompted him to reach for her shoulder, but he hesitated, retracting his hand before making contact.
Elissa turned around and looked at him silently when she heard his voice.
After a brief pause, she asked, “How is she doing?”
