Chapter 238
Elysia was convinced that Sarah had gotten the wrong end of the stick about her! And it seemed like Sarah was also privy to some dirt on Winona.
As Sarah was about to step out of the mall, Elysia called out, “Sarah!”
Sarah turned around, her face a mask of fury as she spat out, “Murderer!” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
The people at the mall entrance stared, a mix of shock and curiosity in their eyes as they turned towards Elysia.
Frowning, Elysia realized she couldn’t let Sarah leave just like that. She quickly approached Sarah and grabbed her wrist. “Hold on, explain yourself. Who did I kill?”
Sarah’s face twisted in anger, her facial muscles twitching uncontrollably. “You killed my son, and mark my words, I’ll get back at you by taking your son! Just you wait!”
Her unwavering gaze and expression sent a chill down Elysia’s spine.
“How could I possibly have killed your son, I…”
“Looking for Winona, are you? You’ll never find her! Search all you want, but it’ll be in vain,” she cackled menacingly, like something out of a horror movie.
Elysia shivered, releasing her grip.
Seizing the moment, Sarah pushed Elysia away with a shove, sending her stumbling backward.
“Elysia!” Fortunately, Zane was ther
catch her in time.
“Are you alright?” Zane asked, concern written all over his face.
Elysia didn’t look at him, her gaze fixed on Sarah.
When Zane turned to face Sarah, his expression immediately darkened, his brows furrowed in anger as be shouted, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Sarah seemed intimidated by him, shrinking back without a word.
“Take her away!”
At Zane’s command, two middle–aged women hurried over to escort Sarah away.
Turning back to Elysia, Zane asked, “Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Catching her breath, Elysia looked at Zane and asked, “Where’s Winona? Who killed Sarah’s child?”
ર
Zane paused, then explained, “Don’t mind her. She’s been dealing with severe depression, spouting nonsense. To her, everyone’s responsible for her child’s death, even the doctors and nurses are not spared. As for Winona, we should hear from her soon. I’ve gotten in touch with her agent, who’s figuring out a way for Winona to reach out.”
Elysia stared at Zane. He met her gaze, calm and concerned.
Elysia looked away.
His words suggested Winona was alright.

But hadn’t Callum said Winona’s agent had vanished? How had Zane managed to get in touch?
Coincidentally, Tarquin drove past the mall just in time to see Zane and Elysia together, appearing quite
intimate.
From his perspective, Elysia looked like a damsel in distress, nestled in Zane’s arms, while Zane was all concern, showering her with attention.
Something inside Tarquin snapped. Angrily adjusting his tie, he commanded, “Tell them they’re working overtime tonight!”
Lowell, focused on driving, was taken aback. “Tarquin, we just gave them the day off. Who knows what they’re up to now? I thought we were meeting Keaton Huber.”
“Back to the office! Notify the board and senior management, we’re having a meeting!”
Lowell was at a loss.
Was this about making those below suffer, and now those above?
What exactly had set him off today?
After a while, Tarquin added, “Did you find anything linking Zane to Gage Slater’s case?” Lowell replied uncertainly, “Nothing so far that connects him to the case.”
Tarquin’s brow furrowed deeper, remaining silent.
“Also, Elijah has invited Ms. Thorne to dinner. Are you sure you don’t want to show up?”
Lowell didn’t dare mention the message from Elysia, expressing her reluctance to meet again.
Tarquin’s frown deepened, yet he stayed silent, lost in thought.
