?Chapter 632:


    Grabbing Elyse’s chin possessively, Keith sneered, “Tell Jeffry to brace himself. Sooner orter, I’m going to make him pay.”


    Elyse let out a soft sigh, pretending to y the voice of reason while subtly fanning the mes. “Maybe you should let it go… Jeffry is formidable, and I would hate to see you get hurt.”


    Keith’s temper red instantly. “Who knows who wille out on top? Last time, I held back for the sake of my father’s promotion. But now that he is the deputy mayor, why should I fear Jeffry? He got luckyst time, but this time? Just wait. I’ll crush his patheticpany into the ground.”


    Elyse’s lips curled into a slow, calcting smile.


    That afternoon, Elyse had Keith’s driver take her straight to Hillside Manor. The government official’s license te was easily recognizable. Therefore, the security guards at Hillside Manor didn’t dare stop them and let them pass. Elyse instructed the driver to pull up directly in front of Alexander’s residence.


    When the butler came to open the door, he froze in disbelief upon seeing Elyse. How had she gotten in? Alexander had made it clear that Elyse was never to set foot in Hillside Manor again.


    Elyse threw the butler a disdainful nce and snapped impatiently, “What are you standing there gawking at? Can’t you see I’m back? Open the door already! Do you see that license te? If it gets so much as a scratch, you couldn’t afford to cover the damages even if you sold everything you own.”


    The butler’s brows knit into a deep frown. He had never encountered someone so arrogant in all the years he had served the Harper family—especially considering Elyse had been kicked out by both Alexander and Jolie.


    The butler cleared his throat and firmly replied, “Miss Harper, Mr. Harper has explicitly stated you are not wee here. Kindly leave the premises immediately.”


    Elyse didn’t bother arguing and immediately ordered the driver to move toward the butler.


    The driver hesitated, clearly unnerved. “Miss Harper, if I hit someone—”


    “He deserves it for standing in my way. Just drive!” Elyse snapped. She was determined to make the entire Harper family know she was back.


    Themotion at the entrance startled Jolie, who was inside the house. “What’s going on? Who’s causing all that noise?”

    Wrapped in a wool shawl over her casual home attire, Jolie made her way to the door, her brows furrowed.


    Outside, the butler jumped out of the way just in time as a sleek ck car swerved into the courtyard, its wheels skimming dangerously close to his polished shoes.


    The vehicle rolled to a gradual stop right in front of Jolie. Her gazended on the license te. Her eyes narrowed. It unmistakably belonged to a government official. Suspicion and caution filled her eyes.


    The driver stepped out, briskly rounded the car, and pulled open the passenger door.


    Out stepped Elyse, her head held high, a smug smile curving her lips as she basked in the moment. She shed Jolie a bright smile. “Jolie, it’s been so long! I bet you never expected to see me back here.”


    Jolie’s eyes widened in shock. What on earth was Elyse doing here? Elyse was thest person she expected to show up. Moreover, why was Elyse arriving in a government car?


    Jolie’s brow furrowed. Her voiceced with suspicion, she asked, “Elyse, this car…”


    But before she could finish, Elyse jumped at the chance to brag. “Oh, it belongs to my boyfriend. He knew I wanted to visit my grandma and didn’t want me exhausted from the trip, so he arranged for the driver to bring me back.”
