?Chapter 568:


    Evelyn was more than ready to marry Jeffry. In her mind, they were already family, and assisting him was a joy, not a duty.


    Gazing at Jeffry’s striking features, her smile widened. He had always been the man of her dreams, and it thrilled her to see him finally noticing her feelings.


    Breaking from her daydream, she asked, “Jeffry, my father has invited you to dinner at our house. When might you be avable?”


    Jeffry flipped through his calendar thoughtfully. “I can make time next week.”


    “Perfect,” Evelyn beamed. “I’ll let him know.”


    As she left Jeffry’s office, the buzz among Harper Group employees was unmistakable. They already regarded her as Jeffry’s partner, a testament to the bond she shared with him.


    The sight of Evelyn stepping out of Jeffry’s office sparked murmurs among the Harper Group employees.


    “Is that Mr. Harper’s girlfriend? She’s absolutely stunning! They make such a perfect pair.”


    “I heard she’s a brilliant graduate of Sylvan University and the eldest daughter of the Morgan Group’s CEO. Theirpany is a major yer in new energy. With her family background and education, she and Mr. Harper seem like a match made in heaven.”


    “Well, isn’t that always the case? Princes always end up with princesses. Fairy tales are just wishful thinking—there’s no Cindere in real life.”


    “When is Mr. Harper getting married?”


    “Hush! I just heard Mr. Harper is meeting Miss Morgan’s parents next week. Looks like the wedding is just around the corner!” The room buzzed with excitement as everyone indulged in gossip.


    But Jeffry’s assistant was tense, his stomach tight with unease. Unlike the others, he knew about Lydia. He could only hope Jeffry had truly thought this through. He could tell how much Jeffry cared for Lydia, and if she ever found out about Jeffry’s involvement with Evelyn, it could lead to chaos.


    The issue with Keith was nipped in the bud before it could even make waves. Elena didn’t even know about it.


    After dinner, Elena made her way to Gerald’s room for his treatment. She had been visiting him frequently, but today was the first time she ran into Theo there.

    Theo waved at her and shot her a grin. “Well, well, what a coincidence. We meet again.”


    Elena didn’t even spare him a nce.


    Theo’s expression darkened briefly but he quickly masked his annoyance. Falling into step behind her, he asked, “I hear you’re an exceptional healer. How about taking a look at me? Lately, I’ve been having trouble sleeping. You’ve been upying my thoughts day and night. Think you can cure lovesickness?”


    Elena suddenly stopped in her tracks.


    Theo smirked. He knew it—his charm was irresistible. Even the most indifferent woman couldn’t resist persistence.


    He tilted his chin slightly, showing off what he believed was the most dashing angle of his jawline. He was sure this would win her over.


    Elena looked him dead in the eye and said coldly, “You really should get your brain checked.”


    Theo blinked in surprise. Wait, did she just insult him? By the time he processed her words, Elena had already disappeared upstairs to tend to Gerald.
