Chapter 215:
He cleared his throat, carefully skipping over that humiliating detail. “I was mingling with some affluent individuals from the, and one of them mentioned that Elena might actually be a Harper. Do you think there’s any truth to that?”
Sylvia’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyshes fluttered as a wave of anxiety washed over her. the was such a vast ce, yet Darren and Elena’s paths had crossed so unexpectedly!
Her mind raced as she struggled to maintain herposure. “That’s impossible,” she replied quickly, her voice tinged with certainty. “Thest time my mother and I were in the, we saw Elena working as a maid for the Harper family. Your friends must have confused her with the true Harper daughter. Darren, you must realize how adept Elena is at deception. She might have easily duped those people.”
The image of Elena’s face flickered across Darren’s mind, her features sharp and cunning. Indeed, her appearance was nothing short of deceptive. Beyond her undeniable beauty and frosty air, she exuded the aura of a wealthy heiress, fooling anyone not privy to her true nature.
“But…” Darren hesitated, his brow furrowed in doubt. After all, Theo was not just anyone. He was Wesley’s half-brother, entwined by blood with the illustrious Spencer family. Both the Spencer and Harper families were eminent names among the’s four major families. Had Theo really mistaken Elena for the real Harper daughter?
As Darren mulled this over, Sylvia leaned in closer, her tone yful yet pointed. “Darren, stop torturing yourself with thoughts of Elena. I’m right here,” she murmured, draping herself around him like a silken scarf.
Distracted by her closeness, Darren’s doubts began to dissipate like morning fog.
It crossed Sylvia’s mind that, after their numerous intimate encounters, she should be expecting Darren’s child by now.
During a rare moment when Jeffry and Louis were free from their demanding jobs, they happened to be at the house, chatting with Elena. Seizing this opportunity, Jolie got them all involved in tidying up the garden.
Jolie, with her love for tending to nts, had inspired Alexander to craft a vibrant garden sanctuary at their home. It was a botanical treasure trove, boasting a collection of exotic nts, with orchids as the crowning jewels.
These orchids, known for their capricious needs, received daily attention from Jolie. Today, however, she chose to step back, focusing instead on watching over her children after entrusting the delicate flowers’ care to them. The task itself was just an excuse—what she really wanted was to tighten the bond between them.

Jeffry and Louis, engrossed in their careers, were seldom home, and Ellis was even more of a phantom, vanishing for months into his secret research endeavors. Jolie’s heart was set on nurturing the family’s unity, particrly to make sure Elena felt a sense of belonging amidst her elusive siblings.
The garden was a lush canvas of diversity, home to over forty different species of flowers. As the sun beamed down, Jeffry shifted the nts to soak up more light, Louis worked the soil with his shovel, and Elena carefully sprinkled water over the flowers.
Among the three siblings, Elena’s task was undoubtedly the simplest. Louis, d in a casual ensemble of a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants, his short blond hair tousled, was crouched down, lending a hand with the chores.
As Louis worked, a sense of injustice began to nag at him. He straightened up, wiping the sweat from his brow, and turned to Jeffry. “Elena gets off easy, but why am I stuck turning the soil for the entire garden while you just shuffle a few pots around? That hardly seems fair.”
