บท 131: The fight

"What do you want, Scott?" Elias asked. His voice sounded snappy and sharp. His fingers curled into tight fists as he kept his eyes level on Scott.

He wasn't about to back down. He knew that this was a challenge from Scott. Why else would he approach them?

"I'm just a middle man, Elias. You know what you should be doing. Yet, you're not doing it," Scott sneered before eyeing Alyssa. "And she's still lingering around."

Elias stepped forward, moving to stand between Scott and Alyssa.

"Drop it. We're not doing this here," he nearly growled the words.

Alyssa's eyes narrowed as she tried to peer over Elias' shoulder at Scott. She hated how they were speaking so cryptically. They were obviously keeping her in the fake, despite her being part of this argument for some reason.

What did Scott mean by her lingering around? Something about his tone and Elias' reaction made her stomach twist.

Scott chuckled as he shook his head at Elias.
