Chapter 1257

• The room fell into a heavy silence. Madam Ezee’s face tightened, and she clenched her fists so hard that her knuckles turned white. Her nails dug into her skin, drawing blood, but she didn't seem to notice.
• Liza remained calm, her gaze steady as she waited. After what felt like an eternity, Madam Ezee took a deep breath, her voice shaky as she spoke, “I… I’ll support you. Whatever you want to do, I’ll stand by you.”
• Before Liza could respond, Madam Ezee suddenly stood up. "I’m sorry, Miss Liza. It’s getting late, and I should be going. They’ll start looking for me if I’m not back soon." Without waiting for an answer, she hurriedly left the room, leaving Liza and Gavin behind.
