Chapter 1025
Chapter 1025:
“No matter how many of you there are, I’m not intimidated. Leave!” Elva snapped.
John’s frown deepened, surprised by Elva’s harshness. He gritted his teeth and responded, “I’m sorry, but this is my villa. As long as I’m here, nobody can force my friends to leave p>
Elva looked at John and gave a dismissive smile, as if she had heard something absurd. “If it weren’t for Ms. Marshall’s generosity in giving your family a piece of land in Kheley, would you even have this villa to begin with? You should be grateful instead of taking it for granted p>
Yelena interjected, “If Ms. Marshall is having trouble sleeping, I might be able to help p>
Elva glanced at Yelena with a hint of derision. “You? Really p>
Yelena’s gaze didn’t waver. “How will you know unless you let me try p>
Elva paused, taken aback. For a moment, Yelena’s assertive demeanor seemed to echo Scarlet. However, this impression was brief. Elva dismissed the thought, convincing herself it was just an illusion because Yelena bore a slight resemblance to that certain person.
“Spare me. Renowned specialists from Kheley and the nation’s top doctors have all tried to help Ms. Marshall with no success. What makes you think you can p>
Yelena met Elva’s skepticism with a calm smile, her confidence undiminished.
Elva scoffed, thinking Yelena must be delusional. “I don’t have time for this. If you continue to make noise, you’ll need to leave immediately p>
With that, Elva hurried off.
Returning to the adjacent villa, Elva found Scarlet lying on her favorite wicker chair, her eyes closed but her brow furrowed in discomfort. Treading lightly, Elva approached to cover her with a blanket. Just as she draped the blanket over Scarlet, her eyes fluttered open and fixed on Elva.
Caught off guard, Elva offered a sheepish smile. “I tried to be quiet, but I still woke you p>
Scarlet said, “It’s alright. I wasn’t sleeping anyway.” She offered a weary smile, her eyes bloodshot.

Elva clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with anger as she spoke through gritted teeth. “If it weren’t for those people, you wouldn’t have been disturbed p>
Scarlet dismissed the concern with a wave of her hand. “It’s fine. It has nothing to do with them. Even if they hadn’t disturbed me, I wouldn’t have slept much. I think I dreamed of Siena p>
At the mention of the name, Scarlet’s voice broke slightly, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
Distressed, Elva took Scarlet’s hand and gently patted it, trying to offer comfort.
Scarlet seemed to remember something. “John is next door, isn’t he? He p>
Elva’s mood soured at the mention of John. He had yet to bring any news of Siena, and now his guests were causing disturbances.
“It was John who brought those people here, disturbing your rest. They’re really going too far!” Elva complained.
Scarlet offered a gentle smile. “Never mind. I know John is a good kid p>
“If he truly was, he would have found her by now. The country isn’t that large; how can she remain unfound after all these years?” Elva countered.
Scarlet’s expression darkened slightly, a hint of sorrow flickering in her gaze. “Perhaps Siena is upset with me and hiding on purpose.” That was why Scarlet had not searched for Siena herself but had delegated the task to John.
Suddenly, footsteps approached from the doorway. Shortly after, a cheerful girl appeared, her face lighting up when she saw Scarlet. “Grandma p>
