I wanted to leave right away. However, he suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Let go.” My voice was cold.
But Elijah didn’t let go. He was completely tense as he said, “Ari, nothing you heard was true. I didn’t want to steal your money.”
I sneered. “Alright then. Since you weren’t stealing from me, give me back the money with interest.” Elijah hesitated.
As expected, he couldn’t bear to give up such a large amount of money.
I gave him a mocking glance and shook off his hand.

to me.
“Not these. Where’s the jewelry? And those bags. You took them. Give them back!” She threatened, “Or else, I’ll call the cops.”
I simply stared at Elijah. “Mr. Linden, your lover wants to call the cops. What do you say?”

I was annoyed. “Not only am I leaving, but I also want a divorce.”
