She Got A Better Man

The police officer fixed his gaze on Danni and said firmly, "Mrs. Miller, haven't I told you already? We've conducted our investigation, and this has nothing to do with Zach.

"We've uncovered some leads, but they're confidential for now. for you. trespassing and accusing someone falsely, we're taking you in for questioning His tone was cold, and with a nod he signaled for another officer to handcuff her.

Elvira's brow furrowed slightly as she listened. Leonard's words fashed through her mind. It was Cole, not Nina, who did this: A wave of unease crept over her.

"What if the police actually trace it back to Cole? The thought struck her as absurd, and she quickly shook her head, as if trying to banish Leonard's influence from her thoughts. She con't afford to get distracted.

"I don't believe you!" Danni suddenly screamed, her voice cracking with fury. "It's Zach! How much did he pay you? A million dollars? A few million dollars? How much to cover up fochim? Don't think I don't know! I'll sue all of you for bribery and corruption!"

"I want justice for my daughter! Zach, stop hiding like a coward and face me! You owe my daughter an explanation!" Her voice grew louder and more frantic with every word. She started backing away, grabbing anything within reach to throw. The bodyguards jumped into action, but Danni was surprisingly quick, darting past them as they scrambled to catch her.

The officer's face darkened as he barked out a warning. "Mrs. Miller, if you keep spouting baseless accusations against the police, we'll charge you with defamation!"

The bodyguards finally managed to pin her down, and the officer approached to snap the handcuffs onto her wrists. Still, Danni wouldn't relent. She raved about bribes and cover-ups, her wild demeanor leaving everyone around visibly shaken In the end, Danni was hauled away by the police. Elvira, watching the commotion, stood firm in her decision. She was resolute that she'd press charges against Danni and wouldn't back down

Samuel's family watched the scene unfold, utterly terrified. None of them dared to say a word. When questioned by the police, they claimed ignorance, unwilling to risk making baseless statements without evidence. Only then were they allowed to leave. As they hurried away, one thought consumed them. 'Elvira is not someone to be trifled with. Her unwavering resolve leaves no room for sympathy, even when faced with Danni's desperate plight. With Danni in custody, Samuel and his wife fled the scene. At last, the chaotic spectacle came to an end.

Elvira was about to return to the dining room when Skylar suddenly rushed toward her, nearly knocking her over. Elvira instinctively raised a hand to stop her. "Careful, Mom. My arm is still injured."

"Oh, dear! I'm just so excited I forgot myself!" Skylar beamed, her face alight with pride. "Elvira, you were incredible! The way you put those scumbags in their place is so cool! Just like your mom. I'm so proud of you."novelbin

Nearby, Tracy watched her granddaughter-in-law with a warm smile. "Of course she was Tracy said, her voice tinged with pride. "Why do you think I picked her? I've never been wrong about people.

"Elvira is simply the best. Looks like it's time for me to step down as the head of this family. She's already outshining me."

"Grandma, you're not stepping down anytime soon." Elvira said, looping her arm through Tracy's with genuine affection. "I could only be so brave because I knew you had my back. No matter what mess 1 get into, you're always there to support me." "That's not true. You're the amazing one. Elvira. You're going to be the most outstanding leader the Gilbert family has ever had! I'll hold the fort for two more years, then I'll retire and finally enjoy some peace and quiet." Tracy chuckled warmly as she patted Elvira's hand. 10:07 Tue, Dec 10 G

She had wanted to memnon helping with the children, but her grandson had specifically told her not to bring up the topic, so she held her tongue.

Still, deep down, Tracy couldn't shake the lingering disappointment. After all this time, Elvira still hadn't gotten pregnant. Tracy desperately hoped to see the next generation of the family before she passed, it was the one thing she felt was missing

When Zach and Elvira got back home, Zach couldn't seem to stop holding her, his eyes fixed on her as if trying to memorize every detail. His gaze made her squirm uncomfortably.

"How much longer are you going to stare at me? Elvira waved her fist playfully in his direction, trying to break his trance.

"Forever wouldn't be long enough," Zach said, a teasing smile on his lips. "Elvira, you looked so incredible standing up for me today. It was beautiful" Just thinking about the way she had Bercely defended him filled him with gratitude.

Elvira playfully cupped her face, feigning an innocent charm. Then stop staring at me now, because I'm going to protect you for the rest of my life."

Zach's grin widened, and his affection for her deepened. "So, about the plan I mentioned," he said casually, shifting the topic. Elvira tilted her head thoughtfully, tapping her chin. "Why do I feel like this plan of yours is just an excuse to tag along on my business trip?" "Of course not," Zach said quickly, though the mischievous glint in his eyes betrayed him. "It's a great opportunity to lure out the arsonist from last time. They're probably still looking for a chance to target you. This trip is the perfect bait. But, naturally, I can't let you face such danger alone."

The truth was that Zach did want to catch the person who had tried to harm Elvira But just as true was his desire to be neat her. The idea of her leaving on a business trip without him unsettled him more than he wanted to admit. So, he came up with this plan to ensure he could stay by her side,

"Fine," Elvira agreed with a soft laugh. "We'll do it your way. Lure them out, and we'll handle it one at a time." She knew his insistence on accompanying her was another way he showed his love, and she had no reason to object. "One at a time?" Zach suddenly looked at her, his brows furrowing. "Wait, are you saying there's more than one?"

"That's not what I meant," Elvira said quickly, her words tumbling over themselves. "I just meant we'll deal with this one first), After that, I'll take care of Judy. Those two have caused enough trouble. It's about time they're stopped for good." Elvira quickly backtracked to patch the loophole in her words. That was close, she thought to herself, Zach is way too sharp. I really need to be more careful with what I say from now on.

On the surface, Elvira's business trip seemed straightforward. She was traveling with Cole, and she'd made sure the news reached the right ears. Amber, who had been keeping tabs on her every move, quickly caught wind of it.

Amber also learned that Elvira was only bringing two bodyguards for convenience. The moment she heard this, she felt a spark of opportunity. Retreating to the bathroom, she pulled out her phone and called Jayden "Jayden, listen to me. This is your chance! If you take her out now, I'll make sure my daughter acknowledges you as her father. Amber's voice was low but urgent.

This was a risky move, but it was a gamble she was willing to take If it worked, her daughter's future would be secure, and they'd no longer have to bow to the whims of the Willis family's leader.

The Willis family's assets were already mostly under her daughter's control, but Amber couldn't bear another day of enduring the old woman's torment. She'd waited long enough, and the time for action was now.
