章 274: The Witches Deal  

[SOPHIA]

Sophia tapped her manicured nails against the polished mahogany table, her lips curling into a sly smile as she watched Elena approach.

The restaurant's dim lighting reflected off the crystal chandeliers, casting an air of sophistication that matched the two women perfectly. Elena slipped into the seat across from her, her confidence evident in every graceful movement.

"Well, how did it go?" Sophia asked, her voice dripping with anticipation.

Elena took a sip of the wine the waiter had just poured, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Better than expected," she said, leaning back in her chair. "Eve didn't even try to hide her disdain. She's threatened, and that's exactly what I wanted."

Sophia's smile widened. "Good. If I can't have Cole, then she won't either. I won't let her take everything from me. Not after everything I've sacrificed."
