Chapter 280 Throw A Check At Her Again
The couple walked into the office together. Elizabeth was not bothered by the other people’s stares any longer.
They were free to think whatever they wanted.
After all, she had grown accustomed to hearing those rumors about herself.
As soon as Matthew entered the office, he was swamped with work, answering unending calls before heading to the
conference room for a meeting.
They had breakfast together on the way there, and she felt he was only hers for that short period of time.
Propping her chin on her palm, she looked at the empty desk, thinking of how busy he typically was.
After letting out a sigh, she began to deal with her work for the day. In fact, her job was fairly effortless.
Around ten o’clock, Matthew had yet to return, so she went into the pantry and poured herself a cup of coffee,
sitting by the window to sip it.
Later, Elizabeth took out her phone and planned to call Cody to inquire whether or not the people from the moving
company had arrived. They planned to relocate some items from the old house to the new mansion.
Yet, Shelby called her at that moment. Pursing her lips, she answered the call.

That night, she had already received a warning call from Shelby.
It seemed like Dominic was no longer hiding his feelings for her and had taken the initiative to contact her more
frequently. Maybe he had even talked about those things at home as well.
“Elizabeth, is it convenient for you to come out and meet me now?”
Glancing at the time, Elizabeth answered, “I’m at work. It’s a little inconvenient.”
In truth, she did not want to meet Shelby, as the latter was always harsh toward her. However, she could not refute
the woman either, so she felt immensely aggrieved.
On the other end of the line, Shelby sneered as she heard Elizabeth’s reply. “Are you afraid to meet me? Where do
you work? I’ll apply for leave on your behalf.”
Hearing that, Elizabeth knitted her brows. Shelby sounded as though she would not give up if she did not meet
Elizabeth today.
“Where are you, Mrs. Campbell? I’ll be there right away.”
Hmph. That’s more like it. I’m at the café on the corner of the street. I’m not going anywhere if you don’t come
After hanging up, Elizabeth sent a text to Matthew: Mr. Hilton, I’m taking a leave of absence. I have a personal
matter to attend to
Then, she got up, returned to the office, and packed her belongings before rushing downstairs.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the café. When she pushed open the door, she spotted Shelby seated by the
window, dressed in fur. At the same time, the latter greeted her with a wave of her hand.
Elizabeth walked over and sat across from Shelby.
“What would you like to drink?”
Casting a brief look at the water in front of her, Elizabeth replied, “No need. I’ll just drink some water.”
Shelby did not say anything else as she gracefully took a sip of coffee. Her well–maintained face was wrinkle–free,
and she appeared much younger than her peers.
While setting down the cup, she caressed her own hand.
The rings she wore were very beautiful. Despite the fact that she had two rings on one finger, it did not appear
awkward but rather elegant.
“Elizabeth, Dom has expressed his desire to marry you, but we will never agree. How much money do you want to
be willing to leave him?”
Having said that, Shelby took out a checkbook and a pen.

As she spoke, she tore off one check and pushed it in front of the woman across from her..
However, Elizabeth only gave the check a cursory glance and smiled indifferently.
“Mrs. Campbell, I’ve told you before that Dominic and I are merely friends. I’ve never thought about marrying into
the
Surringtons, nor will I take your money.”
Shelby’s face clouded over when she saw Elizabeth shoving the check back to her.
“Elizabeth Wade, I know you’re pretty capable and can even handle the Hilton family. It’s no surprise that Dom is
completely smitten with you, but please let my son go now that you’ve established a relationship with the Lowens.”
Elizabeth’s heart twisted slightly the moment she heard that.
It was excruciatingly painful to be misunderstood by others.
“You’re right I’m currently in a relationship with Matthew, and he’s the one I want to marry. Hence, you don’t have
to worry about anything You should keep the money for Dominic’s future wife.”
Meanwhile, Diana, who was nearby, snapped a photo of the scene and sent it to Celine with a message that read:
Celine,
Elizabeth has admitted that she’s dating Matthew. Looks like it’s really over between Tia and him.
