Elizabeth, swirling her glass leisurely, replied with a smile, “Your savior.”
Perhaps the alcohol was affecting him; Leo scrutinized Elizabeth for a moment, then grunted, “Whoever you are, just keep the wine coming.”
With a snap of her fingers, Elizabeth summoned the waiter, who promptly refilled Leo’s table with various wines.
Observing him down a few glasses, Elizabeth sensed it was the right moment to delve deeper.
“Do you know Stella?” she inquired gently.
Leo paused, his gaze fixed on her.
Elizabeth maintained eye contact, asking slowly, “Would you like to share something about Stella?”
He broke his stare, taking several more sips of wine, his eyes growing hazier.
Glancing at Elizabeth with a drunken smirk, he slurred, “Well, since you’re curious, I’ll tell you.”
Leo finished his glass of wine and remarked, “Stella has been an orphan since childhood and only got the chance to attend school after being adopted by the Anderson family.”
Sporting a mocking smile, he continued, “When she joined the company, I noticed her innocence and charm. I couldn’t resist asking her to be my girlfriend, and to my surprise, she agreed. However, as we spent more time together, I discovered she was quite conservative and dutt.”
With a sneer, Leo added, “While contemplating how to end things, she uncovered that I was married. I wanted to break up anyway, so we did.

Little did I know, she would go on to marry Matthew, the wealthiest man in Seamarsh, within a few years!”
Leo’s expression turned malicious and fierce as he gritted his teeth.
“Seems my status wasn’t high enough for her back then. That’s why she wouldn’t let me near her, that bitch!”
He raised his head and downed a few more glasses of wine.

Elizabeth held her glass, lost in thought.
After a moment, she asked, “Would you be open to collaboration if the opportunity arises?”
“What kind of collaboration are you suggesting?” Leo stared at her intently. “I’m open to anything.”
His current desire was to ensure Stella did not enjoy a good life.
With a smile playing on her lips, Elizabeth tapped the table and said, “Give me your business card.”
Leo looked puzzled but retrieved a business card from his pocket, placing it on the table.
Elizabeth took the card and read, “Leo Webster.”
Turning around, she found Leo now asleep at the table.
