Chapter 529:
Yelena offered a gentle smile but chose not to elaborate further. There was no need to reopen old wounds that had finally healed.
“Have you enjoyed your walk? Should we head back p>
Austin faced Yelena, at a loss for words. He hadn’t expected her to still be teasing him.
“Where are you going? I can give you a lift if you like,” Austin suggested.
Yelena replied, “No need. I’ve got a driver today p>
After Cayson had found out about Austin spending an entire day driving Yelena around since she didn’t have her own car, he had promptly arranged both a car and a driver for her.
Cayson had made it clear that the Harris family was well-equipped with both vehicles and drivers.
Austin chuckled and said, “That’s too bad p>
With a smile, Yelena glanced at Austin. “I never took you for one to enjoy driving people around, Mr. Barton p>
Austin abruptly halted, stepped in front of Yelena, and leaned toward her, his face drawing near.
The proximity allowed Yelena to catch a faint whiff of his cologne, a pleasant scent that was quite comforting.
In that close moment, Yelena’s nerves kicked in, and her eyes sparkled with emotion. She was nervous, her heart pounding like crazy.
Austin said, “I only enjoy being a certain someone’s driver p>
Then, Austin straightened up, flashed her a smile, and walked away with poise.
Yelena stood there, taken aback, as she watched Austin’s dignified figure moving away.

Could Austin really have meant what he said? Was he referring to her when he mentioned “a certain someone”? Though Austin hadn’t made it explicit, the hint was apparent.
A blush spread across Yelena’s cheeks as her heart raced. Trying to appear unaffected, Yelena walked toward the school gate, her fists clenched tightly—an unmistakable sign of her inner turmoil to those who knew her well.
In the end, Yelena and Austin said goodbye and went their separate ways at the gate.
Just as Yelena was about to step into her car, a familiar voice called out to her from behind. “Yelena p>
With a slight frown, Yelena recognized the voice but refrained from turning back. Her fingers brushed the car handle, poised to open the door.
Suddenly, a man darted forward and clamped the door shut, thwarting her efforts to leave.
Finally, Yelena turned, and her eyes met the man’s, her look of displeasure mirroring his evident irritation.
“Yelena, I know everything that’s happened to you p>
Her eyes settled on the man; it was Casper Roberts. He used to be considered family until Yelena severed ties with the Roberts family.
Yelena said, “And? Have you come to offer congratulations p>
Casper’s face contorted with frustration. “When Tatiana told me about it, I never believed her accusations. Now, it seems she’s right, and you truly are ungrateful. You’ve been welcomed back into a life of affluence by your biological family, forgetting your humble beginnings with the Roberts family. Without Jonathan, Tatiana, and my father’s help, would you have ever made it back safely to enjoy this luxurious life p>
Despite Casper’s heated words, Yelena’s expression remained unfazed.
“Yelena, did you listen to anything I just said p>
With an unflinching gaze, she responded, “I heard you fine. Are we finished here p>
She smoothly brushed aside Casper’s hand, swung the car door open, and slid inside, shutting it firmly behind her.
