Chapter 761:
Monica glanced at Austin, unimpressed by his formal tone. It seemed he was siding with Yelena.
Why would they trust Yelena over her? They hadn’t known Yelena for long.
At that moment, Yelena leaned in and whispered to Monica, “Secrets always come to light at some point p>
Then, stepping back as if nothing had happened, Yelena smiled at Maggie and Austin. “It’s getting late, and I’m afraid I’ve outstayed my welcome. I’ll leave you to it p>
Maggie quickly responded, “You’re not bothering us at all. In fact, thank you for your help p>
Despite her words, Maggie silently wished Yelena could stay longer.
“It was nothing significant. No need for thanks,” Yelena dismissed the gratitude lightly.
After Yelena departed, Austin headed upstairs, leaving Maggie with Monica, awaiting the doctor.
Monica felt miserable but maintained a calm facade in front of Maggie, ensuring she appeared modest and rational.
“Yelena, it’s late. Where were you?” Cayson asked upon seeing his sister. Yelena looked at Cayson, noting his concern. She knew he had seen her leaving Austin’s house but chose to let her speak.
Yelena then explained, “Mrs. Barton needed help with their kitten. That little one seemed unwell, so I went to check on her. Thankfully, it’s nothing serious p>
She then added with a hint of amusement, “You wouldn’t believe it, but Aus and Lena were having a fish-catching race. Aus lost, which explains his mood today. Isn’t that funny p>

Cayson’s expression grew complex, reflecting a mix of emotions.
Cayson was aware that Yelena was deflecting, but he chose not to pursue the topic further.
“It’s late,” Cayson remarked. “Go upstairs and rest p>
Yelena nodded and replied, “Okay, Cayson, you should rest too.” Cayson made a noncommittal noise, his gaze lingering towards Austin’s house for a moment before he turned to head upstairs.
“Yelena, are you done with work yet? I’m waiting for you in the lobby of your company. When are you coming down p>
Bernice had been waiting for a while, repeatedly asking the same question.
Yelena finally answered, “I’m waiting for the elevator. I’ll be right there.” Soon after, Yelena joined Bernice downstairs.
“Let’s go. I can’t wait to shop for clothes!” Bernice exclaimed.
With a smile, Yelena asked, “What style are you looking for this time p>
Bernice hadn’t decided yet and responded, “Something nice p>
Yelena’s smile widened. “Then let’s start browsing and see if anything catches your eye p>
“Okay p>
Upon arriving at the store, Bernice and Yelena found Bella and Elianna already there.
“Grandma, what do you think of this one p>
Moda Style also catered to middle-aged and elderly customers, though this line was not yet fully developed. The selection was limited but featured high-end, handcrafted garments.
