Chapter 985:
Noticing Elyse’s worried look, Chesney crossed his arms and declared, “Since you're so bold, | must adhere to
protocol and detain you.”
Elyse was alarmed. “Arrest me?”
Louise exhaled deeply. “Chesney, my dear brother, please stop frightening her. Elyse is my friend. How can you
think of arresting her over this?” Elyse was even more astonished. Friend? Was she really Louise's friend? When
had that happened?

Chesney scoffed but then assessed the situation, noting that all the burly attackers had been subdued. “Alright.
They're all caught. Let's leave and not linger here any longer.”
Louise gripped Elyse’s hand, and they both followed Chesney.

Elyse gazed at the back of Chesney’s head and murmured, “Are we going to ride back in his car?”
Louise responded gently, “My brother lives in the spalace as us unless something unexpected occurs.” Elyse
nodded stiffly, climbing compliantly into Chesney's car.
Once they were inside, Louise inquired curiously, “Why have you returned? Weren't you occupied with other
matters?”
Chesney explained, “Edward had to deal with an urgent issue and won't be back until tomorrow morning. | was
concerned about you during his absence, so | cback early to ensure you were alright. | had a feeling you
might find yourself in trouble as soon as | left.” He then poured himself a glass of red wine and took a modest
sip.
Elyse, still preoccupied with thoughts of the burly men, remained quiet for a lengthy period before addressing
Chesney. “Could you please informabout what you learned from those men? | need to understand who is
targeting me.”

Chesney looked at Elyse and nodded in agreement. “Certainly. I'd be glad to assist you with that.”
Elyse expressed her gratitude, beginning to see Chesney as quite friendly and relaxed.
Meanwhile, in a mansion on the city’s outskirts, Hyde sat relaxed in a chair, his eyes shut, clearly enjoying
himself. Occasionally, he emitted pleased murmurs.
His hand gently caressed a woman's hair. Once satisfied, he gazed down at the woman on the floor with a look of
contentment.
Hyde instructed, “Good girl, raise your head and letsee you.”
He flashed a satisfied smile as he looked down at the woman, his finger lightly tracing her chin. With a teasing
lilt, he queried, “Is it uncomfortable to crawl like that? Huh, little puppy?”
