Chapter 802:
Should Austin be toying with Yelena’s affections, Callum was prepared to intervene.
Donna, having been Callum’s wife for many years, could almost read his thoughts.
She advised him, “Now’s not the time. Let’s hold off a bit p>
Donna believed Yelena would bring Austin into their circle when she felt the time was right.
Meanwhile, Bella acted as though she had accidentally made a call. “Oops, sorry. I must’ve hit the dial button by mistake.” Her expression was one of feigned innocence.
Callum responded, “Since it’s ringing, why not invite Yelena and Austin to dinner p>
No sooner had Bella’s call gone through than Yelena simply declined it.
Bella was caught off guard and felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.
“Could Yelena be tied up with something?” she wondered aloud. Jarvis chimed in skeptically, “No way. She’s avoiding the call on purpose p>
Jarvis was convinced Yelena was intentionally aggravating Bella.
With a resigned smile, Bella said, “Yelena wouldn’t just ignore my call. She’s probably just occupied p>
“I’ll try reaching her,” Jarvis suggested.
However, Yelena declined Jarvis’ call just as abruptly as she had Bella’s. Cayson commented, “Could her phone be on DND mode so all the calls are rejected automatically p>

Bella felt her face redden, realizing that her attempt to portray Yelena as spiteful had backfired. Cayson’s comment made everyone reassess the situation. Just then, the sound of a speedboat drew their attention. Someone was returning from a diving expedition.
As they watched, a figure disembarked and headed toward the beach. Upon removing her diving gear, Bella instantly recognized her. It was Yelena!
Yelena’s figure was flawless, with no excess fat. She fit perfectly into her tight diving suit, every curve accentuated.
Cayson nodded and said, “I told you, Yelena was simply preoccupied p>
Spotting them, Yelena waved cheerfully from a distance. Bella’s eyes lit up as she noticed something.
Bella feigned shock and said, “That man with Yelena can’t be Mr. Barton. Where could he be p>
Initially, all attention was focused on Yelena, but Bella’s comment shifted the crowd’s focus, making it clear that the man with her wasn’t Austin.
Austin, with his exceptional height of over 6.3 feet, always stood out in any crowd. In contrast, the man standing beside Yelena, his face concealed by a diving mask, was noticeably shorter.
“Maybe Austin is wearing insoles too?” Jarvis whispered.
Cayson raised an eyebrow at Jarvis and asked, “Why did you say ‘too’?” Until that moment, Cayson hadn’t considered the possibility. However, Jarvis’s choice of words now seemed significant.
Jarvis chuckled nervously and looked away. His silence spoke volumes.
Cayson patted Jarvis on the shoulder reassuringly and said, “Don’t worry. Height isn’t everything p>
Jarvis, who had no shortage of resources and led a comfortable life, knew his height was simply a matter of genetics.
