When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1371

It’s Elizabeth who planned this whole sinister plot!”

A wave of murmurs and speculation rippled through the room.

No one had expected the intricate web of secrets lurking beneath the scandal.

A flash of fury crossed Elizabeth’s face.

She had assumed the recent scandal would break Stella, leaving her vulnerable.

Yet there she stood, seemingly fortified and resolute.

With unwavering determination, Elizabeth faced the microphone, her voice calm yet laced with defiance.

“Stella’s baseless accusations are nothing more than a desperate attempt to tarnish my reputation and deflect from her own questionable actions.

I won’t sit back and allow her to tarnish my name.

I possess a recording that exposes Stella’s treacherous collusion with Leo.

”

Fists clenched, Stella shot a furious glare at Elizabeth.

The revelation of the recording sent her astonishment skyrocketing.

Elizabeth signaled her assistant to start the audio playback.

The flurry of camera flashes ceased as reporters redirected their microphones towards the impending sound.

The recording began, filling the room with Elizabeth’s desperate pleas.

“Leo, please spare me.

”

Then, Leo’s voice followed.

“I couldn’t replace Stella, so I had to turn to you.

”

The carefully edited audio clip painted Elizabeth as the ultimate victim, while Leo and Stella appeared as the villains conspiring against her.

In a moment of desperation, she fired at Leo, defending her honor.

As the recording concluded, a tense silence enveloped the room, broken only by Elizabeth’s sobs.

Then, with determination in her voice, she pointed a finger at Stella.

“This time, Stella must leave the production and apologize to me! Her schemes have caused me great injustice.

She must pay the price!”

Her declaration stirred the audience into a frenzy of protest.

“Apologize now! Apologize to Elizabeth!”

“Stella, leave the production immediately!”

Stella surveyed the sea of agitated faces below, her fingers quivering like leaves in a storm, a stark reminder of the cyberbullying she’d endured.

Taking a deep, steadying breath, she began to speak, her voice cutting through the dissipating anger.

“Everyone, please, let’s calm down.

I have something to address.

”

Gradually, the angry voices faded into silence.

Stella and Elizabeth locked eyes, none of them wavering.

“Surely you don’t believe your actions have gone unnoticed?” Stella challenged.

Elizabeth’s confidence faltered for a moment, but she swiftly regained her composure, her lips pressed together in defiance.

Of the potential witnesses, Leo lay in the hospital, his fate uncertain, while Rose’s voice was silenced by death, a testament to the fact that the dead tell no tales.

Elizabeth stood unchallenged, the sole arbiter of truth, free to shape it as she pleased, shielded from contradiction.

With a facade of innocence, Elizabeth retorted, “I don’t know what you’re suggesting.

I’m the one who’s been wronged here.

”

In a heart-stopping moment, Stella’s phone buzzed.

The message she read elicited a look of shock on her face.

Reining in her excitement, she looked up and announced firmly, “I have a witness who can prove that Elizabeth lied about the entire incident.

She tried to frame me!”

Her finger jabbed out, pointing dramatically to a figure in the audience.

ALL eyes followed her accusatory gesture, landing on a woman wearing a modest hat.

Elizabeth’s composed facade faltered, her brow creasing with confusion and apprehension.

Who was the woman?

Why did Stella suddenly become so confident?

Whispers of intrigue circulated through the room as the mysterious woman ascended the stage, pausing beside Elizabeth.

Then, with a theatrical flourish, she removed her hat, revealing a face that turned Elizabeth’s blood to ice.

The woman was Rose.
