?Chapter 708:


    “Are you all right?” Elena asked, focusing solely on Jolie and ignoring Elyse and Keith.


    Trying to ease Elena’s worry, Jolie shook her head slightly. “I’m okay. What brings you back so suddenly?”


    Elena gave her aforting pat on the arm.


    After ensuring Jolie was stable, Elena turned to face Elyse and Keith with a stern expression.


    Elyse, sensing the chill in Elena’s gaze, felt a wave of fear. “It was an ident. I didn’t push her. Why are you looking at me like that?” Elyse stubbornly denied any wrongdoing, insisting her contact with Jolie was minimal and ming Jolie’s own instability for the fall.


    Elena, her gaze cold and unyielding, responded not with words but with a sharp p across Elyse’s face.


    “How dare you hit me?” Elyse recoiled in shock and anger, clutching her cheek as she yelled.


    Ovee by guilt and fear, Elyse’s voice grew louder in a desperate attempt to sound confident.


    Without hesitation, Elena delivered two more swift ps.


    Elyse tried to speak, her words sharp. “Elena, have you lost your…” but she was cut off by another pair of ps.


    “Elena, you—”


    Again, two more psnded on Elyse’s face.


    With her hand still raised, Elena fixed a stern look on Elyse.


    Elyse’s lips trembled, too frightened to say more, wary of provoking more ps.


    Only when Elyse stopped talking did Elena finally lower her hand. Keith, enraged, began rolling up his sleeves. “You think you can p my fiancée and get away with it? You…”


    He was cut off mid-sentence by a sharp p from Elena.

    Elena met his eyes coldly. “I hadn’t noticed you were here as well.” She didn’t hold back, making sure Keith felt her displeasure.


    Now, both Keith’s and Elyse’s faces were bruised and swollen. Elyse, recalling previous times Elena had bested her, felt overwhelmed and dared not retaliate.


    Elena’s tone was icy as she asked, “Who allowed you in?”


    After a tense silence, Elyse didn’t dare respond, fearing another p. Spitting out blood, Keith spoke defiantly. “This vi should be Elyse’s. Transfer it now, and I’ll let the assault slide.”


    “Keith, how can you offer to let this assault slide? She just pped me multiple times!” Elyse’s voice rose with anger. “She’s just a frivolous slut who goes around with different men…”


    Before Elyse could continue her rant, Elena shot her a piercing look, causing Elyse to retreat timidly behind Keith, herints abruptly cut short.


    Jolie, concerned for her daughter’s well-being, dered forcefully, “This house is Elena’s property. She has every right to keep it!”


    Keith’s gaze grew calcting. “You promised this ce to Elyse, and now you’re backing out? It’s not going to be that easy. If the vi isn’t handed over today, expect trouble.”


    Elyse quickly chimed in, “That’s right. The vi should be mine!” Her eyes flickered with displeasure. The Harper family was rich, yet they hesitated to grant her this one property. How mean of them! Plus, Alexander had transferred shares to Elena. Why couldn’t this vi belong to her? Could it be that Elena was clinging to the vi just to sabotage her n of marrying Keith?
