?Chapter 622:


    Cathy felt both fear and resentment towards Kason, and the thought of Elena chasing after him only fueled her dislike. This intensified her urge to confront and decisively deal with Elena.


    Frustration boiling over, Cathy mmed her ss down, the crashing sound filling the room.


    The male escorts flinched at the sudden noise.


    Yvette, taken aback, dreaded Cathy’s wrath.


    Cathy demanded, “Exin to me exactly what happened.”


    Yvette exaggerated the events from the previous day at the restaurant.


    “Bang!” Cathy’s foot struck the table, causing it to skid across the floor with a deafening noise. She jumped to her feet, fury written all over her face. “I’m going to take care of her! How dare that hick try to charm Kason? She’s crossed the line!”


    Yvette didn’t dare stop Cathy and simply watched her storm out.


    Next door, Elyse restedfortably in Keith’s arms, her head nestled against him.


    Keith cradled her with one arm, leisurely enjoying his drink with the other.


    Though Elyse appeared calm outwardly, she felt a growing sense of disgust inside. Suppressing her feelings, she said softly, “Keith, you should go easy on the drinks. Your wound isn’t fully healed yet, and it worries me.”


    Keith lifted her chin and kissed her. He cherished Elyse for her obedient and caring nature. With a reassuring smile, he said, “Don’t worry about me. The injury is nothing. Once my father gets his promotion, I’ll take care of the Harper family for you. They’ve wronged you, but soon they’ll be begging for your forgiveness.”


    A flicker of determination sparked in Elyse’s eyes. She looked away, her voice soft as she murmured, her words contrasting with her feelings, “You don’t have to. Even though they’ve treated me poorly, just having you by my side is enough.”


    Keith’s father had be the deputy mayor of the. Elyse was determined to take revenge on the Harper family for choosing Elena over her, ensuring they would deeply regret their decision.


    Elyse slipped away to the restroom, escaping the dim, smoke-filled tavern. The air was thick with the scent of tobo, mingling with the musky odors of disreputable men lingering nearby.


    She had only nned a brief respite, but unexpectedly, she spotted Cathy.

    Without hesitation, Elyse raised her voice to catch Cathy’s attention. “Cathy!”


    Cathy, visibly irate and storming out, halted when she heard her name. She turned around, locking eyes with Elyse.


    Because of Elena, Cathy harbored a deep-seated animosity toward the Harpers. Undeterred by Cathy’s frosty demeanor, Elyse stepped forward. Now that she had found Cathy, she was set to cause trouble for Elena.


    With a deceptive, soft smile, Elyse greeted her, “Miss Garrett, fancy running into you here.”


    Cathy responded with a disdainful sneer, “Are we even close?”


    Elyse’s smile didn’t waver despite the hostility. “I hear Wesley has been to your estate to break off the engagement. My sympathies, Miss Garrett…”


    “What exactly are you implying?” Cathy’s temper red, cutting Elyse off with a frosty tone.


    Elyse faltered briefly but quickly masked it with a serene smile. “Please, Miss Garrett, don’t get the wrong idea. I understand Wesley ended the engagement because of Elena. Despite her being my cousin, I believe her meddling in your affair was quite out of line.”


    Cathy’s expression darkened, her eyes shooting daggers at Elyse.
