When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 1250
That evening, Elizabeth found herself at Moon Bar.
She had just left the film set, frustrated and needing a distraction.
The spotlight she expected had been stolen by Stella, and it rankled her.
In an attempt to soothe her frustration, she booked a VIP booth and opened a bottle of wine, pouring herself glass after glass.
While sipping her drink, the noise from the adjacent booth caught her attention.
A man’s slurred voice broke through the din.
“What’s so great about Stella? She’s just cozying up to the wealthy.
What’s there to be proud of?”
Upon hearing Stella’s name, Elizabeth couldn’t help but listen more intently.
She poured another glass, tuning in to the man’s rambling complaints.
“How dare Stella look down on us?” he bellowed, belching loudly.
“Without her rich beau, she’s nothing!”
Raising an eyebrow, Elizabeth hadn’t expected such gossip.
The man, now out of wine, banged on the table demanding more.
“Bring me wine! More wine!”
Curious, Elizabeth picked up her glass and slid into the booth next to the man.
She set her glass down and smiled.
“Do you mind if I join you?”
He looked up, and it was Leo.

But that was just the start of his string of misfortunes.
One unfortunate day, as Leo was returning home, he was inexplicably attacked.
He reported the incident to the police, only to be informed that the assault had occurred in a surveillance blind spot, making it impossible to identify his assailant.
Unable to replace the person responsible, Leo nursed his grievances in silence.
However, this was just one of his troubles.
Many clients he had previously lined up began to cancel their appointments, leading to an extended closure of his law office.
The situation was dire-he was on the brink of homelessness.
Confronted by Elizabeth, who bore a resemblance to Stella, Leo’s resentment intensified.
“Who the hell are you?” he demanded.
