Chapter 88:
Elyse clenched her jaw, her gaze locked on Elena.
She was in disbelief—Elena had actually won.
Damn it, Elena would definitely convince Wesley to hand the project over to her.
Elena’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Wesley, a deal is a deal.”
Wesley gave a nod. “Bring the proposal to Spencer Group tomorrow.”
Elena nodded. “Appreciate it.”
Just then, Wesley’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen.
It was Jeffry.
Wesley answered.
Jeffry had just finished a meeting, and the moment Elena crossed his mind, he immediately called Wesley.
Elena went to the Imperial Club looking for you,” Jeffry stated.
Wesley’s expression remained neutral. “I know.”
Jeffry paused for a moment. “You met her? You can refuse to work with Leopardex, but don’t mess with my sister.”
Wesley glanced at Elena.
Mess with her?
No one could push her around.
“Is that all?” His voice was calm but distant.
Jeffry recognized the warning sign—Wesley was losing patience.
The call ended abruptly.
Elena raised an eyebrow. “That was Jeffry?”
Wesley didn’t respond.
Elena gestured toward his phone. “I happened to see the screen. Since the game’s over, I’ll head out. See you tomorrow.”
Elena exited Imperial Club and made her way straight to Empire.
Wesley didn’t spare Elyse a glance, as if she had ceased to exist, before walking out as well.

It wasn’t even evening yet, but Empire was already buzzing with activity.
Elena scanned the room briefly before moving toward a quieter corner.
Lydia lounged on a couch, fully engrossed in her phone.
Elena eyed her before signaling for a drink.
After taking a slow sip, she raised a brow. “Still dealing with those people from Avaloria?”
Lydia looked up, tucked her phone away, and took a sip of her own drink.
“A few pests show up now and then, but I handled them earlier.”
Elena smirked. “So you’re finally done hiding?”
“Yeah. No more running.”
Lydia took a long drink. “I’ve spent years in the shadows. That’s over now.”
Lydia had been born in Houis but was taken to Avaloria at five after being adopted.
