?Chapter 645:


    Elena narrowed her eyes, her gaze cold as she observed Elyse’s dramatic performance.


    Keith followed Elyse’s finger and noticed Elena. He was momentarily distracted by Elena’s striking presence.


    Elyse caught the lustful look in his eyes, and her expression shifted to one of darkened intent. She quickly adjusted her demeanor, ying coy to recapture his attention. “Keith, it’s really painful.”


    Keith jolted out of his daze the moment he recognized Elena. His voiceced with venom, he said, “So, it’s you. Today’s the day I settle every grudge—old and new.”


    A plot took root in Keith’s mind the moment he realized Elena was alone. With a smirk, he asked, “So, how do you n to settle this? You wounded my headst time, and now you’ve hurt my girlfriend. How are you going to rectify these wrongs?”


    “Rectify?” Elena echoed, her face devoid of emotion.


    Oblivious to the underlying threat in her tone, Keith stood confidently, one arm encircling Elyse and the other on his hip, exuding both ignorance and arrogance. “I’ll offer you one opportunity. If your exnation fails to appease me, I won’t hold back my rage.”


    His lustful gaze disturbingly lingered on Elena, his evil intentions barely concealed.


    Elena’s expression hardened, her eyes like daggers. “I’ll also give you one chance. Get lost, now!”


    Elyse, witnessing Elena’s steadfast defiance against Keith, couldn’t suppress her smug smile. Did Elena not realize? Keith wasn’t one to mess with. After all, he was the deputy mayor’s son. By challenging him, Elena was surely courting disaster!


    Keith gave a mockingugh, thinking to himself that Elena certainly knew how to wield her words like a de. Even faced with peril, she dared to challenge him. He had always felt his drunkenness that night was the sole reason granting her the chance to injure him. Was she under the impression she could best him again?


    Keith rolled up his sleeves, gently pushed Elyse back, and walked toward Elena. “You refuse to take the easy way out, huh?”


    The moment he lifted his hand, a swift breeze brushed by his face. Elena’s hand, brisk and as cold as the wind, stopped mere inches from his face.


    “Do you really want to fight?” Elena’s voice cut through the air, icy and sharp.

    Keith paused, the painful memory of his previous injury flooding his mind. Hisplexion turned ashen, yet he was determined not to show his fear. Staggering back a few steps, he waved for hisckeys to step in.


    Elena, already in a foul mood, unleashed her wrath without restraint. Each blow she delivered was fueled by fury, crashing down hard on theckeys without a hint of restraint.


    She struck the nearestckey with a fierce jab, sending him reeling to the ground, hands over his bleeding nose.


    Twisting swiftly, she executed a hook punch andpleted her assault with a judo throw that sent arge adversary crashing to the floor.


    Soon, Keith’s men were either sprawled across the ground or scampering away. None had the courage to confront Elena further.


    Keith’splexion lost all color. “Ipetent fools! You can’t even handle one woman. What use are you?” His words were sharp, but he himself was discreetly retreating.


    Elyse pressed her lips into a tight line, her eyes sweeping over thoseckeys with clear contempt. Such ipetence!


    Though witnessing Keith’s withdrawal, Elyse was reluctant to let Elena off the hook. She cooed to Keith, “You can’t manage her? I get it, though. She’s quite the fighter, showing no respect. Should we just let this go…”
