Chapter 675
Chapter 675:
However, since Kaiden’s return, his family’s attitude toward Yelena hadn’t been very favorable. Why should she help them? Yelena decided to hold back for now.
Early in the morning, Yelena’s dreams were abruptly interrupted by the piercing sound of her phone.
Upon checking, she noticed the caller was unknown.
Her initial instinct was to decline, but a slip of her finger caused her to answer the call instead. From the other end came a commanding voice, saying, “Yelena, I’m giving you five minutes to meet me now p>
Before Yelena could utter a word, Bernice abruptly ended the call.
Staring at the now black screen, Yelena flung the phone aside in irritation.
Muttering to herself, she said, “She’s insane. I already told Bernice I didn’t want to go to the escape room, yet here she is, calling to disrupt my rest. Totally unreasonable p>
After a moment of thought, Yelena turned off her phone to avoid further disturbances.
Finally, after finishing her morning routine hours later, she was greeted by a knock on the door.
“Come in p>
The door opened immediately after her invitation. “Yelena,” said Katelyn, rushing in and clutching Yelena’s hand. “Yelena, why are you still here p>
Surprised, Yelena responded, “Where else should I be p>
Anxiously, Katelyn explained, “You misunderstood me. Bernice and Bella left early today for the escape room. I was concerned about them, so I thought you should go too, so you girls could look out for each other p>
Bernice called you in front of me and then told me that you had agreed to join them p>

As Yelena recalled the unusual call that morning, she pieced together the real motive behind Bernice’s pressing tone.
Initially, Yelena had brushed off Bernice’s actions as typical odd behavior.
Yelena said, “I was clear about not wanting to go. I told her directly p>
Katelyn appeared distressed as she replied, “I can see now that you’re still here. We shouldn’t be arguing right now. The thing is, I’ve been trying to contact Bernice and Bella, but their phones are off. It’s unusual, and I’m growing increasingly concerned p>
Yelena responded, “Don’t be too anxious. It’s normal for people to turn off their phones during such activities to avoid distractions. They’re responsible enough to manage themselves p>
Katelyn knew Bernice was competent, yet her anxiety persisted. Bernice usually made it a point to stay in touch, frequently updating Katelyn about her whereabouts.
This uncharacteristic lack of communication from Bernice was alarming for Katelyn.
Seeing Katelyn’s worry, Yelena suggested, “Since you’re concerned, I’ll see what I can do. But try to keep calm—it’s important for your health.” Katelyn mulled over Yelena’s words, feeling somewhat daunted yet guided by her niece’s dominant personality, which she felt compelled to follow.
Her preoccupation with Bernice’s safety, however, was her primary focus at the moment.
“Is everything okay?” Donna called out, hurrying upstairs after noticing Katelyn rushing in, looking troubled. She had been entertaining Aus in the cat playground but came over as quickly as she could.
Donna had been concerned that Katelyn might stir up trouble for Yelena. Her worries dissipated when she saw that Yelena was unharmed.
