?<strong>Chapter 975:</strong>


    Edward had reached his limit and was about to confront Quinn when Elyse intervened, raising a hand. “This is a trivial issue. I can manage on my own. There’s no need for you to intervene.” With aforting nce at Edward, she strode confidently toward Quinn.


    Elyse stood bravely before him, unfazed by his hostile stare. “You’vee to advocate for Fiona, haven’t you? Let me ask you, do you base your judgment solely on her ount? Is her side of the story enough to convince you that I’ve mistreated her?”


    Quinn responded, “Fiona is benevolent and soft-spoken. I trust everything she tells me. She wouldn’t deceive me.” Elyse scoffed. “She wouldn’t lie? That’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.”


    Recently, Fiona hadpletely indoctrinated Quinn, persuading him that Elyse was inherently malicious. To him, Elyse’s amiable front was merely an act—a hypocrite’s disguise. He was resolved to unveil Elyse’s duplicity publicly, aiming to reveal her true character to all. In his view, he was engaged in a noble fight, like a valiant knight protecting the woman he adored.


    Elyse observed the extent of Quinn’s delusion under Fiona’s influence. A typically reserved and introspective man had be belligerent due to his affection for Fiona. Their love was something Elyse found difficult to confront.


    Taking out her phone, Elyse dered, “You doubt that Fiona was expelled from Mr. Tucker’s studio due to her own misconduct? Very well, I’ll dial Cody this instant and let him rify it for you. If my words don’t convince you, perhaps you’ll trust what my teacher has to say.”


    Quinn paused, unsure. “You’re not nning to have someone pretend to be Cody, are you?”


    Elyse grinned confidently. “I’ll ce the call now. You can speak to him directly and see for yourself.”


    Quinn, still wary, feared that Elyse, cunning as she seemed, might be plotting some deceit. However, just as she was about to make the call, Fiona burst in from outside, unable to hold back any longer.


    “Stop it, Elyse! How much longer will you continue to me me? Do you enjoy this?” Fiona eximed, her voice charged with emotion, suggesting that Elyse hadmitted some heinous act.


    Yet Elyse felt no guilt. With a smirk of insight, she retorted, “Fiona, you’re only intervening because you’re scared that Cody will reveal all your misdeeds once I call him, right?”
