?<strong>Chapter 964:</strong>


    Intimidated? By what? Elyse was puzzled but responded honestly, “If that’s the case, I hope your marriage happens quickly.”


    Louise paused for a moment before letting out a scornfulugh. “Interesting response. Are you backing off to gain an advantage? I didn’t realize you were so cunning.”


    Elyse looked at Louise, perplexed. “Enough with the nonsense. You drenched me with water. You owe me an apology.”


    Louise’s expression remained haughty as she dismissively replied, “An apology? Impossible. I’ve never apologized to anyone in my life. Just name your price forpensation. I can afford any amount.”


    Elyse was frustrated. “This isn’t about money. You need to apologize.”


    gα ? ησ ν?? ??s has it all


    Louise frowned, her pride unyielding. “Didn’t you hear me? I won’t apologize. I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?”


    With that, Louise reached out and grabbed Elyse’s hair, dropping all pretense of decorum.


    Elyse winced in pain, momentarily stunned, then retaliated by grabbing Louise’s hair as well.


    The butler, who had just arrived with tea, was shocked to see the two women grappling with each other. “Stop fighting! Release each other!” he urged, but neither woman was inclined to let go.


    As one held on, so did the other.


    Eventually, the butler had to call Edward, who managed to separate them upon his arrival.


    By then, both of their hair was disheveled and tangled.


    Elyse, losing her temper, yelled, “When you make a mistake, you should apologize! Didn’t your parents ever teach you that?”


    Louise, ovee with emotion, retorted, “I won’t apologize. What are you going to do about it?”


    Elyse red at Louise, her teeth clenched in anger.


    Edward, sensing a potential conflict, quickly intervened to diffuse the tension. “Please, let’s not argue anymore. You both are acting irrationally. Let’s go inside and discuss this calmly.”


    Before Elyse could respond, Louise voiced her frustration, saying, “Edward, why do you take her side? Why not mine? Don’t you care about me anymore?”


    Edward was at a loss for words. “Can’t you see how unreasonable you’re being? You’ve been spoiled by your parents.”


    Louise, incredulous, demanded, “Edward, you’ve changed. You’ve turned your back on me.”


    After saying that, Louise attempted to storm off, but Edward caught her arm.
