Chapter 181:
Elena lifted her gaze to meet Wesley’s intense stare. She decided to let it go. Since Wesley was prepared to sort out this mess, she would step aside and allow him to manage it.
At first, Theo doubted Wesley had any connection with Elena, but the way they exchanged glances suggested there was a deeper bond between them.
Theo couldn’t swallow his anger. After the beating Elena had given him, how could he just walk away? He hissed at Wesley, “Just because she’s your woman doesn’t mean I deserved these injuries. I can’t let this beating slide!”
Wesley gave Theo a detached glance. “Felix, take him to the hospital,” he instructed.
Felix swiftly moved to Theo’s side. “This way, please.”
Theo was shocked as he hadn’t expected Wesley to really side with a woman and let him take a beating for nothing.
Rooted to the spot, Theo glared at Wesley, furious. “Wesley, what if our grandpa hears about this?”
With a mocking smirk, Wesley answered, “Do you really dare let our grandpa know?”
Theo was immediately left speechless. He couldn’t bring himself to tell Gerald. He had always carried himself with a dutiful persona around Gerald, and if Gerald learned of his mischiefs at Empire, it would unravel years of careful deception.
With a nod from Wesley, Felix moved in, ready to escort Theo away.
And with that, the commotion subsided.
Wesley approached Elena. “Come with me.”
Elena gave Lydia a subtle nod, signaling her to return, and then turned to follow Wesley. They reached the fourth floor.
Elena had expected Wesley to have something important to discuss, but once inside the room, he simply gestured for her to take a seat. She sat in silence, noticing he seemed uninterested in speaking. “Mr. Spencer, I will cover the costs from today’s incident…”
Elena’s words were cut short as the door swung open. The manager walked in and set down a medical kit. “Mr. Spencer, I’ll leave you now. Just call if there’s anything you need.”

Elena raised an eyebrow. A medical kit?
Wesley, who had been motionless since entering the room, finally moved.
Wesley reached for the medical kit and took out iodine and gauze.
“Come over here.”
Elena moved closer. Was Wesley hurt?
She examined him, confused, until he took her hand. As he applied iodine to her hand, she realized she was the one injured. She looked up, surprised. Had he requested the medical kit for her?
Wesley’s gaze was fixed downward, his one hand gently holding hers while the other dabbed ointment onto her hand with a cotton swab.
Elena couldn’t shake the brief feeling of doubt about his intentions. The wound on her hand was minor, almost insignificant, especially when compared to the more serious injuries Theo had suffered. Wesley wrapped her hand in gauze, making it look more severe than it was to an uninformed observer.
