Chapter 947:
Elyse’s detailed account effectively solidified Fiona’s negative image in everyone's minds, deepening the
instructor's disdain for her.
After rehearsal, with her violin case in hand, Elyse deliberately avoided Fiona. She and Geraldine quietly exited
the music hall, planning a leisurely shopping excursion. After informing Jayden of their itinerary, Elyse made her
way to the mall with Geraldine, arms linked.
Unexpectedly, as they ambled past an ice cream shop, Elyse’s eyes fell on Mabel, whom she hadn't encountered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin a long while. Mabel was intertwined with a man Elyse didn’t recognize, the two sharing an ice cream cone.
Elyse blinked, startled, and took a second look to ensure she wasn’t seeing things. It was during these repeated
glances that she caught Mabel’s eye.
Upon encountering Mabel, Elyse’s mind was immediately flooded with memories of betrayal and danger. She
vividly recalled Lanny and Glenda's deceitful acts, along with the malicious glares they had given her, hinting at
deadly intentions.
Holding her breath, Elyse stared intently at Mabel. Meanwhile, Mabel stood serene and unreadable, seemingly
unaffected by Elyse’s presence. Even before Elyse had arrived in Manfek, Mabel had been well-informed about
her, discreetly monitoring her movements, confident that their paths would eventually cross.
However, one detail had escaped her calculations: Mabel hadn't anticipated that Hyde would encounter Elyse.
Worried that Elyse might charm her boyfriend, Mabel subconsciously tightened her grip on Hyde's arm.

Hyde, familiar with Elyse through Kaelyn’s stories and photographs, remained composed, casually enjoying his
ice cream as he observed the unfolding scene.
“What are you looking at? He’s not your man. Stop staring at him, or Ill gouge out your eyes!” Mabel burst out
angrily when she caught Elyse eyeing Hyde.

Unaware of Mabel’s identity, Geraldine perceived her as a madwoman. She cautiously pulled Elyse back,
advising, “Let's steer clear of her. She seems unstable and could be dangerous.”
Elyse redirected her conflicted gaze to Mabel and said slowly, “She’s my cousin.”
“Your cousin? You mean, related by blood?” Geraldine asked, taken aback. She scrutinized Mabel briefly before
inquiring, “But if you are related, why is she so hostile toward you? Did something happen between you two?”
“It’s more than just a simple quarrel. It’s much deeper than that,” Elyse replied, her lips sealed tight, clearly
unwilling to delve into details.
The resentment between them was profound, a bitter conflict with no foreseeable resolution. They were doomed
to continue hurting each other with cruel words until one succumbed.
