?Chapter 535:


    But despite her exhaustion, she couldn’t help herself and snapped, “If you’re here about Elyse, save your breath. She had iting with that filthy mouth of hers, and I sure as hell won’t be apologizing for beating her!”


    Seeing Elena made Karen instantly rey thest few days in her head. Not much had happened recently, except for the part where she gave Elyse a well-deserved beating.


    Elena blinked, caught off guard. “Wait—you hit Elyse? Weren’t you two practically joined at the hip?” If her memory served, Karen had always been Elyse’s biggest defender.


    Karen scrunched up her face, pouting like a child. She had always thought of Elyse as her best friend, standing by her no matter what. But in the end, Elyse turned out to be just as rotten as the rest. No, worse than all of them! After everything she had done for Elyse, Elyse had the audacity to insult her mother. The memory alone was enough to reignite Karen’s rage.


    But from the way Elena carried herself, it was clear she wasn’t here to fight Elyse’s battles.


    Karen scoffed. “Elyse is a fucking snake! If I see her again, I’ll knock her out again. So don’t you daree here mentioning or defending her!”


    Elena arched a brow. So, there was trouble in paradise. But what exactly had Elyse done to piss Karen off this much?


    Elena shrugged. “You’re the one who brought her up.”


    Karen opened her mouth but then shut it. She really had been the one to bring up Elyse.


    Crossing her arms, Karen huffed, “Whatever. Just don’t bring her up.”


    Elena couldn’t care less about their falling out. It wasn’t her problem, and she had no interest in getting involved.


    Karen narrowed her eyes at Elena. “You still haven’t exined why you’re here.”


    The butler handed Elena a ss of water and exined calmly, “Miss Harper is here because Mr. Wesley Spencer personally requested her to treat Mr. Gerald Spencer.”


    “Treat Gerald? You?” Karen shot Elena a doubtful nce, looking her up and down. Elena was stunning and young—too young to be taken seriously as an experienced healer.

    Karen’s irritation red. “Has Wesley lost his mind? He brought in someone who knows nothing to treat my grandpa? Even world-ss doctors can’t diagnose him, but somehow Elena can? Give me a break.”


    The butler stayed quiet, unwilling to get caught in the crossfire. Wesley ran the Spencer Group, and his word wasw. No one dared challenge him.


    Karen didn’t need confirmation. Her mind was already made up. She scowled at Elena. “What kind of spell did you put on Wesley? He actually trusts you to treat my grandpa? What, did you study medicine in college or something?” Even if Elena had a medical degree, Karen wouldn’t let her near Gerald. Elena was around her age—meaning she had little real experience.


    The more Karen stared at Elena’s ridiculously perfect face, the less she trusted her. There was no way Elena was an actual healer!


    Elena remained calm. “No. I taught myself from books.” Her medical knowledge came from years of self-study, guided by her mentor’s writings.


    “What?” Karen’s eyes widened. “You taught yourself? And you think you can treat people? Are you out of your damn mind? Do you want to kill my grandfather?”
