?Chapter 647:


    Elena entered her car and headed directly for Jeffry’spany.


    As Elyse watched Elena drive away silently, her smile grew smug, convinced she had guessed it right. Unease must have weighed on Elena, and because of that, she didn’t have the nerve to speak up in her own defense.


    Elyse let her imagination run wild. Hah, what was the point of holding the title of the Harper family’s gem if Elena still couldn’t manage to marry herself off?


    Elyse had no doubt that once she became Keith’s wife, Elena would be seething with jealousy.


    Just imagining it gave Elyse an intoxicating rush of pride. There was no time to waste. She needed to win Keith over with carefully chosen words and push him toward marrying her without dy.


    Turning on her heel, Elyse waved down a cab to take her to Keith’s ce.


    Meanwhile, Elena reached the building of Jeffry’spany.


    While approaching the elevator, she caught snippets of conversation.


    “Did you hear? Mr. Harper recently got married!”


    “It’s the talk of the town! Mr. Harper and Miss Morgan are a perfect match—the heir of the Harper Group and the heiress of the Morgan family. They’re made for each other!”


    “Miss Morgan is always so kind and generous, bringing treats for us whenever she visits. I’m all for their marriage!”


    “I can’t say I’m jealous, not one bit!”


    “Expect wedding favors from Miss Morgan, for sure.”


    “Truly, only someone as refined as Miss Morgan suits Mr. Harper.”


    Elena’s face clouded over slightly. Did Evelyn often visit Jeffry at work? Was Jeffry seeing two women simultaneously?


    If this were true, Elena feltpelled to expose the reality to Lydia to protect her from potential heartbreak.


    Elena made her way directly to Jeffry’s office.


    Jeffry was engrossed in a business proposal involving the Morgan Group and Harper Group when the sound of the door disturbed him. His eyes lifted to see Elena entering, prompting a surprised lift of his eyebrow. “Elena, what’s the asion?”


    Putting aside the documents, Jeffry stood, smiling, and offered her a beverage. “Would you like some coffee, or perhaps some juice?”


    Unforgettable stories on g?lnσν????s??o??


    “I don’t need anything, Jeffry. There’s something I need answers from you.” Elena had arrived to verify rumors about Jeffry’s marriage to Evelyn.


    Noticing her stern demeanor, Jeffry hesitated. “What’s on your mind?”


    He took a seat opposite her.


    Elena didn’t beat around the bush. “Did you marry Evelyn?”


    Jeffry looked down, falling silent for an extended moment before nodding. “Yes.”


    “And what about Lydia?” Elena’s expression turned stern. “Is she aware of this?”


    Once more, Jeffry was speechless, his silence longer this time. It became clear to Elena that Jeffry kept the news of his marriage from Lydia.


    Elena’s expression grew tense, puzzled by her usually wise brother’s actions. Her voice grew stern. “How do you n to break this to Lydia? Do you n to keep it from her indefinitely, letting her unwittingly be entangled as the other woman?”


    Elena understood Lydia’s nature well. Despite Lydia’s casual remarks about dating, she valued sincerity in her rtionships deeply. She detested being the other woman in someone’s marriage. Jeffry’s actions threatened to permanently sever his rtionship with Lydia.
