?Chapter 136:
“Oh,” Lydia murmured, slightly taken aback, before picking up the morsel. The fish melted in her mouth, seemingly more delicious than any she had tasted before.
The tender, vorful fish brought a smile to Lydia’s lips. “Delicious.” All three left the restaurant satisfied.
Afterward, Elena offered to take Lydia home, but Lydia politely declined. With a wave goodbye, she turned and disappeared into a dark alley. Pulling out her phone, her fingers flew across the screen, swiftly tracking down the identities and locations of the men from earlier that day.
Emerging from the alley, Lydia stopped at a street vendor and purchased a baseball cap to obscure her face.
The sun had long since surrendered to the night, leaving the city cloaked in darkness. Lydia’s petite figure darted through the streets of the.
An hourter, screams pierced the air, emanating from a nightclub. Shattered bottles gleamed on the floor, reflecting the terror in the eyes of several men sprawled across the ground. In the corner, a girl these men had bullied huddled, desperately trying to cover her exposed body. She looked at Lydia with gratitude.
Lydia casually grabbed a napkin, methodically wiping the blood from her hands as she addressed the shivering men. “Mind your words, or next time you won’t be so lucky.”
She was in a good mood today, so she had gone easy on them. She cast a disdainful nce at the men. She had only taught them a lesson, not even breaking a…
She hadn’t broken a single limb, yet the men trembled as if facing their worst nightmare. Lydia sighed at Darren’s absence, making a mental note to teach him a lesson next time.
Having already returned to Foiclens, Darren had blissfully dodged a bullet. Still, he felt an odd chill run through him and scratched his head, trying to brush off the unease.
As his thoughts shifted to Elena, irritation simmered within him. Despite his disdain for her, the idea of her sharing her bed with men for financial gain sparked a me of jealousy he refused to acknowledge.
Recalling Sylvia’s apparent defense of Elena, Darren exhaled in frustration at Sylvia’s kindness and Elena’s shamelessness. He vowed that no matter how much Elena might beg in the future, he wouldn’t spare her another nce.

Elena had just stepped out of the car as she arrived at Hillside Manor when a sharp, angry voice cut through the air. “Elena, how could you be so heartless, forcing Elyse to leave? You’re just too cruel!”
Elena froze for a moment, then looked up to see Javier with his arms crossed, ring at her with intense fury. He appeared to have been waiting specifically for her return.
Elena calmly shut the car door and faced Javier with an indifferent expression, which only fueled his anger further. Earlier that day, upon returning home, he had learned that Elyse had moved out of Alexander’s residence—a development he initially considered good news. However, when he visited Elyse, she barely spoke a few words before her eyes filled with tears.
Javier’s protective instinct toward Elyse kicked in immediately. Despite his repeated questions, Elyse remained silent, leading him to suspect Elena’s involvement. Elyse had livedfortably in Alexander’s home for over twenty years, but soon after Elena’s return, she found herself forced to leave. To Javier, it was clear that Elena had bullied Elyse.
