?Chapter 633:
While talking about her boyfriend, Elyse casually yed with her newly purchased handbag.
Jolie was no stranger to luxury items. Whenever top luxury brands released new collections, they were sent to the Harper estate first, allowing her to pick what she wanted. Only the pieces she didn’t select ever made it to store shelves.
The moment Jolieid eyes on Elyse’s handbag, she recognized it as a limited edition from Chanel. Although it was fromst year’s collection, it was the most expensive item Chanel had released in recent years. Elyse couldn’t possibly afford it on her own.
Jolie’s gaze swept over Elyse, taking in the undeniable changes. Elyse had grown more feminine. She wore a soft pink dress paired with nude high heels. Her…
Makeup was quite heavy—especially the bold shade of rosy lipstick that entuated her lips.
A chic jacket was casually draped over Elyse’s shoulders, perfectlyplemented by a small ck handbag dangling gracefully from her wrist. The youthful innocence she once carried was gone, reced by a more mature allure.
Jolie’s brows knitted together. “You have a boyfriend?” she asked.
Jolie couldn’t help worrying that Elyse might have fallen into the hands of someone with ill intentions.
However, Elysepletely misunderstood Jolie’s concern, mistaking it for jealousy. With a slow, self-satisfied smile, she brushed her bangs aside. “That’s right, Jolie. You all kicked me out, yet I still managed to find a wonderful boyfriend.”
Elyse had returned today to make the Harper family regret their actions. But there was another important reason for her visit. Alexander had given her nothing, and she intended to reim what she believed was rightfully hers. She was part of the Harper family. Therefore, the family’s fortune naturally included her share. Since the Harper family was selfishly giving her share to Elena, she intended to reim it herself.
With a flick of her wrist, Elyse shut the car door and confidently strutted toward Jolie. In her high heels, she towered slightly over Jolie, exuding an air of royalty as if she were a queen inspecting her subjects. “Jolie, you are a woman of grace and status. Now that I’m back, shouldn’t you at least invite me in for a proper chat?”
Though Jolie was irritated by Elyse’s patronizing tone, she still stepped aside to let Elyse in.

Once inside, Elyse sat in the center of the living room. She crossed her legs elegantly, picked up the teacup, and took a delicate sip. Immediately, her expression soured, and she set it down abruptly. “What kind of tea is this? It’s dreadful,” sheined.
Then Elyse covered her mouth with a soft gasp. “Oh, sorry, Jolie. My boyfriend and I are used to finer things. It’s been a while since I have had such mediocre tea. I guess I spoke without thinking. Hope you don’t take it the wrong way.”
Jolie pressed her lips together but decided not to argue. “It’s fine. If the tea isn’t to your liking, feel free to have some water instead.”
Elyse had livedfortably under Alexander’s roof for more than ten years, yet here she was, openly criticizing the Harper family’s tea.
To Jolie’s surprise, Elyse added, “Jolie, you really shouldn’t settle for such poor-quality things. The Harper family is one of the most distinguished families in the. Serving something so mediocre might damage your reputation. I hope you don’t take offense. I just don’t want the Harper family to be aughingstock. My boyfriend has high standards—he wouldn’t even use this tea to rinse his mouth.”
Jolie’s expression grew cold as she looked at Elyse. She tried to keep herposure, intent on figuring out exactly what Elyse was up to.
Elyse seemed oblivious to Jolie’s frosty expression and merrily continued, “Oh, Jolie, you might not have heard yet. My boyfriend is Keith Martin, the deputy mayor’s son. He treats me like gold and never lets me suffer even the slightest hardship.”
