Chapter 287
“Are you getting back with your ex?” Grant asked, looking worried.
Elizabeth sighed. “No, we just bumped into each other.”
She touched her nose, not sounding very 8.
“Stay away from him, got it?” Grant said sternly.
Elizabeth nodded.
Grant continued, “How many days left in the one–month waiting period?”
“Only three days have passed,” Elizabeth pouted. How
eager is Grandpa for me to divorce Alexander?‘
“Good. That means you’re still thinking straight,” Grant said seriously. “In a month, whoever doesn’t get divorced will be called a
coward!”
Elizabeth frowned. “Grandpa, you’re basically saying I won’t get divorced.”
She took a big bite of her sandwich and glared at him.
Grant waited for her response, even more serious.
“Oh, Grandpa, I’ve really changed. I’m not the same Elizabeth as before, don’t worry!” Elizabeth said, patting his shoulder before quickly slipping away.
She needed to get out of the backyard.
Maybe a walk would help.
“Hey, don’t forget the SerenityLeaf I asked for! How long has it been?” Grant’s voice echoed behind her.
Elizabeth paused. ‘Right, I need to find SerenityLeaf for Grandpa. But there’s none in Base M. Where should I start?‘
Her phone suddenly rang.
She put down her plate and checked her phone.
It was a message from an unknown number: [Steve.]
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment.
Another text came in: [Want to have a race?]
Elizabeth frowned. ‘Who is this, and how do they know I’m Steve?‘
She called the number back, but it was unreachable.
Another text: [Don’t call me, I won’t answer. Right now, you’re in the open, and I’m in the shadows.]
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and blocked the number. “Trying to threaten me? Too naive.‘

But then she worried. This person knows I’m Steve. What if they expose me? She rubbed her chin. If I deny it, will anyone bellese
me?‘
While she was frustrated, another text came in.
This time, it was from someone she knew.
Sunny: [Elizabeth, something serious happened!]
Elizabeth yawned. Nothing can ruin my weekend rest!”
She was about to turn off her phone.
Then Sunny sent another text that made her rush to the hospital immediately.
Sunny: [Elizabeth, Esme is in trouble. She’s been exposed for having a fake medical school degree! The hospital is having a meeting about it right now, and the Russells are at the hospital. It’s a big deal!]
Elizabeth gripped her phone, her expression tightening.
Esme had been exposed for having a fake medical school degree!
Besides her and the Russell family, no one else knew about this.
