?Chapter 38:


    ncing at Elena, Wesley noted her unwaveringposure. Whether in his study or at this moment, she seemedpletely unshaken. It appeared that, no matter the situation, she always remainedposed.


    Originally, Wesley had nned to spend the evening at the Imperial Club, but intelligence gathered by his subordinates made him change his mind.


    Previously, Wesley had been relentlessly tracking down the renowned hacker known as El, constantly monitoring Pantheon. Yet, the hackers of Pantheon were too careful, making El’s locations impossible to trace.


    After meeting Elena in his study the other day, Wesley had revised his approach and ordered his team to begin investigating her. Sure enough, something noteworthy was uncovered. Elena, seemingly unemployed, had tens of millions flowing into her ounts daily from both domestic and international sources.


    Although this did not confirm that Elena was El, it did validate his suspicion that she was far moreplex than she appeared. As a result, his curiosity about her only grew, prompting him to adjust his ns further.


    Neither Alexander nor Jeffry could have foreseen this turn of events.


    Casually, Wesley said, “I came because I wanted to see Elena.” Unaware of the potential for misinterpretation, he let his words hang in the air.


    Jeffry clenched his teeth in anger, so intense that he almost wished tosh out at Wesley. Had he not remembered that Wesley was the head of the Spencer family, he would have done everything in his power to make Wesley face the consequences of showing interest in his sister.


    Drawing on his greater experience, Alexander remained moreposed than Jeffry. In a courteous yet chilly tone, he said, “It’s our honor to have you here, Mr. Spencer.”


    Wesley made it clear he intended to stay, leaving the Harper family powerless to move him.


    An unmistakable aura surrounded them, immediately catching the eyes of Elyse and Debby as they returned. Elyse’s earlier warning to Debby not to speak out of turn had caused her to miss Wesley’s arrival. Under different circumstances, Elyse would have rushed to him the moment he appeared.


    At the sight of her crush, Elyse’s eyes sparkled, and a gentle smile slowly spread across her face. It had been far too long since shest saw him. As Elyse carefully adjusted her long hair and repositioned her dress, she realized how unttering her outfit was tonight. That wretched Elena! She seethed internally, resenting that Elena’s maniption forced her to look less than perfect in Wesley’s eyes.


    She considered having a servant bring her a more ttering dress, but hesitated when she saw Wesley standing beside Elena, fearing he might begin to favor Elena instead. After weighing her options, a determined glint reced the uncertainty in Elyse’s gaze. She resolved to approach him directly. No matter what, she refused to give Elena even the slightest chance to seduce Wesley. He was hers.

    Gliding gracefully toward him, Elyse regarded Wesley with admiration, her tone yful and flirtatious. “Wesley, it’s been so long. Do you still remember me?”


    As she drew nearer, Elyse let her flirtatious eyes speak volumes. Elena couldn’t help but furrow her brows at Elyse’s exaggerated performance.


    Alexander’s expression darkened as he watched Elyse. He wondered when Elyse had be so reckless. It was hard to believe a Harper would behave so inappropriately in public. In stark contrast, Elena disyed the Harper family’s signature poise and grace. Even when Wesley presented her with a gift, she epted it with elegance.
