?Chapter 668:


    Suddenly, Keith tore off his shirt, revealing his back covered with bruises and welts. “You see this?” he shouted. “I got beaten, and you’re telling me it’s impossible? Elyse, do you take me for a fool?”


    Elyse gasped at the sight of the dark bruises. “Oh my God! What happened? Keith, who did this to you?”


    She hurried to her feet, trying to approach him, but he pushed her away with disdain. He had no desire to discuss the beating with her.


    Keith pressed, “I’ll ask you one more time. How did Elena get those connections?”


    Elyse clenched her jaw, her face pale, shaking her head. “I really don’t know…” The idea that Elena, aplete unknown, could be acquainted with Grady was unthinkable.


    Then a thought struck her. Her eyes lit up. “Ah! I think I know how now!”


    Keith turned to her.


    Elyse put on a serious expression. “It must be through Wesley! Elena has been pestering Wesley. She must have met Grady through Wesley and is now pretending they’re close!”


    Keith narrowed his eyes. “You mean Wesley, the head of the Spencer family?”


    Elyse nodded eagerly. “Exactly!”


    Keith clicked his tongue, annoyed. If Wesley was involved, things could getplicated… Remembering his father’s orders, he looked at Elyse and then, without another word, pushed her toward the door. “Tomorrow, you’re going to apologize to Elena. If you can’t make her forgive you, then pack your things and leave.”


    “Keith, where am I supposed to go if you kick me out?” Elyse’s voice trembled with desperation. She had recently upgraded from a shabby hotel to a luxurious apartment and was determined not to lose it.


    Tears welled in her eyes as she tentatively reached for Keith’s hand, only to be forcefully pushed away.


    Keith, still aching from his recent beating, was in no mood for her drama. “I don’t care where you end up. You can sleep on the streets for all I care. Just apologize to Elena and earn her forgiveness if you want to stay.”


    Elyse understood Keith was serious about making her apologize to Elena, so she held back any objections.

    That evening, Elyse went to the guest room to rest, wasting the opportunity to wear her most alluring lingerie.


    The next morning, Keith dismissed Elyse, insisting she find Elena and apologize immediately before he drove off in his convertible to meet friends.


    “Make sure you earn Elena’s forgiveness before you even think abouting back,” he warned, speeding away.


    Watching him leave, Elyse cursed in frustration. Why did she have to apologize to Elena? Elena wasn’t worth it. If not for the n to secure 10 billion and Hillside Manorter, she wouldn’t bother.


    Reluctantly, Elyse hailed a taxi to Hillside Manor. However, she found herself unable to enter and was forced to wait outside.


    When Elena and Javier emerged, Elyse couldn’t hold back. “Elena, wait!” Her legs ached from standing, and she approached them with a limp.


    Javier noticed her struggle and raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with your leg? Are you crippled?”


    Catching her breath, Elyse forced a strained smile. “Why does that sound like a curse? Aren’t we family? How could you say that, Javier?”


    Javier felt a pang of difort at her words. He pressed his lips tightly together, choosing not to reply.
