Chapter 1002:
“I know what this is about p>
She had already received a call from the Barker family, apologizing profusely for their son’s foolish mistake.
If the Barton family weren’t so powerful, the Barkers wouldn’t have bothered to call.
But Johan’s parents had been livid, scolding their son for his stupidity—how could he have been so careless as to mix up identities and offend the Barton heiress?
If the Bartons decided to retaliate, the Barker family would be in deep trouble.
So, the Barker family wasted no time and quickly called to offer their apology.
Through that phone call, Maggie learned an even more shocking truth—the “Ellen Barton” Johan had been searching for was actually none other than Yelena, her future daughter-in-law.
Maggie was stunned.
Yelena had done absolutely nothing, yet she was still caught in the crossfire. No wonder Ellen had lost control.
“I’ve already explained that Yelena is Austin’s fiancée. They apologized and even invited us to dinner p>
She shot Austin a glance, knowing he’d refuse.
“But I already declined p>
Austin’s expression darkened, his gaze turning cold.
“Did they really think they could brush this off with just an apology p>
He knew exactly how this would play out if not handled carefully. Yelena would be dragged into endless gossip, accused of leading Johan on.
But that was absurd. Why would Yelena, his fiancée, chase after Johan when she already had him? He would never believe it. Not in a million years.
Maggie’s lips pressed into a thin line. Whether it was Yelena or Ellen, neither of them were women the Barker family had the right to belittle.

“Mom, don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it,” Austin said calmly.
“Good p>
One dismissive remark from her could decide the Barker family’s fate.
Maggie quietly slipped away, leaving Yelena and Austin enveloped in their own world.
Austin gently took Yelena’s hand, drawing her closer and wrapping her in a warm embrace. Resting against his chest, Yelena felt the steady rhythm of his heartbeat—a soothing balm.
“Yelena,” Austin’s voice, deep and magnetic, whispered in her ear. She lifted her gaze, their eyes locking in a profound connection that crackled with unspoken energy. The surrounding atmosphere hung heavy with silence. The moment their gazes met, an invisible thread seemed to link them.
Austin tenderly brushed Yelena’s hair aside, murmuring, “I’m sorry you had to endure that p>
Yelena smiled, a spark of amusement dancing in her bright, sparkling eyes. Her eyes glimmered like distant galaxies, reflecting a beauty that seemed to hold the light of a thousand stars.
“It’s nothing, just a misunderstanding,” she assured him.
Austin sighed, his expression darkening. “But Ellen won’t forget so easily. That’s just her nature. I’m worried she might turn her sights on you p>
Austin felt a tug-of-war in his heart, torn between his love for both women. How could he choose?
Noticing the conflict in Austin’s eyes, Yelena stood on her tiptoes, gently smoothing the tension from his brow. “She’s just a spoiled child. Her petty games don’t bother me,” she declared.
