Chapter 117:
Jeffry had no interest in arguing and simply ordered the butler to remove her luggage from the house.
Glancing at Elena’s composed demeanor, Jeffry’s tone softened. “Elena, I have to handle something at work. If anything comes up, let me know.” Elena gave a slight nod, and with that, Jeffry left.
Completely disregarded and now alone with Elena, Elyse dropped the act. “Don’t think you’ve won. They kicked me out, but it won’t be long before they do the same to you.”
Elena remained unshaken. “Aren’t you leaving? Or are you waiting for me to personally escort you out?”
Scoffing, Elyse turned on her heel, went upstairs to retrieve her jewelry from the safe, and stormed out of the estate.
The following morning, as soon as Elyse stepped into the office, she could feel the stares of her colleagues.
Her colleagues whispered among themselves. “How does she still have the face to show up here?”
“She was shameless enough to claim being the Harper daughter in front of Elena. Why wouldn’t she dare to show up for work after everything?”
“Elena really keeps a low profile. If only she had revealed earlier that she was Alexander’s daughter.”
Elyse’s expression darkened. These nobodies, who couldn’t even afford their own homes, thought they had the right to gossip about her? Elyse had barely taken a seat when Monica summoned her to the office.
Monica wasted no time. “Elyse, you’ve been dismissed. Start your resignation process today.”
Elyse’s face twisted with disbelief. A mere department head dared to fire her?
“This is the Harper family’s company,” Elyse snapped. “You don’t have the authority to remove me.”
“It was Jeffry’s decision,” Monica replied indifferently. “If you have any objections, take it up with him.”
Elyse was stunned by his cold-heartedness. Seething, she left Leopardex.
Elena didn’t visit Leopardex today. Instead, she headed to the Spencer Group. Following the jewelry exhibition, further discussions were needed to finalize the partnership between Leopardex and the Spencer Group, particularly regarding the project’s launch timeline.

Since Wesley wasn’t in the office, Elena had no choice but to wait in the reception area.
Inside the restroom, Elena overheard a group of employees chatting.
“Wesley is terrifying. He scolded someone into crying again yesterday.”
“He’s good-looking, but I still prefer his brother. Theo always greets people with a smile.”
“Quit dreaming. Theo is warm and thoughtful—he has plenty of admirers. We don’t stand a chance.”
“If only Theo were in charge, we wouldn’t have to spend every day walking on eggshells around Wesley.”
These employees finished freshening up and left.
Elena stepped up to the sink, washed her hands, and, as she exited, accidentally collided with someone.
