When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1286

Stella, on the other hand, couldn’t shake a sense of unease.

Seizing the moment, Elizabeth began, “Elin, please tell Luther what you overheard.

Your testimony will prove my innocence.

”

Her voice dropped to a near whisper, but Elin felt the implicit threat.

Looking up at Elizabeth, she sensed a veiled warning in her smile.

Luther only cared about one thing: to end this farce.

“Just tell us, Elin.

What did you hear?”

Elin flinched, meeting Stella’s gaze with a flicker of guilt.

“I was in the bathroom.

I didn’t see anything.

”

Elizabeth frowned, her eyes betraying her dissatisfaction.

“But what did you hear? Luther and I will support you.

Don’t worry about offending anyone.

”

The veiled threat hung heavy in the air.

Elin glanced at Elizabeth.

She was caught between appeasing Elizabeth and risking her job.

Steeling herself, she mumbled, “I heard Stella offer Elizabeth money to quit and then I heard a slap.

”

Her voice was barely above a whisper as she hung her head.

Shock rippled through the room.

The crowd’s eyes shifted to Stella with suspicion.

Luther’s face tightened.

“Stella, care to elaborate?”

Expecting Elin’s biased report, Stella remained composed.

“Is that the only thing I said throughout the entire encounter?”

Flustered by Stella’s calm confidence, Elin shook her head subconsciously.

word?”

Under Stella’s unwavering gaze, Elin stammered, “I…I can’t say.

”

Luther intervened, too impatient to watch any longer.

“Enough.

Don’t let this delay things.

We’ll address it after the filming is done!”

As Luther’s directive was issued, the set sprang into action, everyone focusing on their tasks.

Elizabeth, aware of Luther’s firm character, knew she must wait to deal with Stella, despite her eagerness.

Luther barked orders at the makeup artist.

“Cover all the red marks on Elizabeth’s face.

We have a scene with her and Luka today.

”

After a brief glance at Elizabeth, he departed, hands clasped behind his back.

Meanwhile, Luka encountered Stella alone in the bathroom.

Having heard about the incident from the staff, he approached her with a look of concern.

“Are you okay?”

Stella, lips pressed together, nodded without speaking.
