Chapter 923
Chapter 923:
Addie’s tactics were so outdated that even Bella found them beneath her. Yet, Addie persisted in her attempts to frame Yelena, oblivious to the fact that no one would ever be fooled.
Bella smirked, stating her intent. “I’m here on Yelena’s behalf to set things straight. Who do you think you are, acting so high and mighty around my sister p>
Addie’s spirits fell. Bella truly was allied with Yelena!
“Yelena pretends indifference, but it bothers her, doesn’t it?” Addie suggested, skeptical of Yelena’s nonchalance.
Bella’s interest didn’t lie in Yelena’s true feelings; her goal was to influence Addie’s perception.
“You think you’re not pretending? Don’t tell me you believe everyone is pure-hearted?” Bella challenged Addie.
Remaining tense, Addie responded, “What do you really want from me p>
Intent on not causing real harm, Bella explained, “I’m just here to give you a warning on behalf of Yelena. Be careful.” With her message delivered, Bella departed.
Frustrated, Addie stormed off, annoyed by everything and everyone she laid her eyes on. “Utterly unreasonable p>
During her walk, Addie noticed a small cat soaking up the sun on a doorstep.
The area was known for its friendly strays, accustomed to the tourists who often fed them.
At the sight of the cat, Addie sneered and approached it.
The cat opened its eyes lazily and, expecting a gentle touch, closed them again.
However, instead of a caress, a sharp pain made the cat yelp.
It appeared that its leg was broken.
Attracted by the scream, Yelena hurried to help.

She spotted a fleeting shadow and then the cat, now nursing its injured leg and defensively crying out upon seeing her.
Yelena gently lifted the cat, soothing it while she assessed the injury. As expected, the cat’s leg was fractured, and several small bone fragments appeared to be lodged within.
This wasn’t just an accidental fall. Someone had intentionally fractured the poor cat’s leg.
It had to be the mysterious figure she saw escaping the scene earlier. Yelena hurried in the direction the figure had fled, and before long, something on the ground caught her attention.
With the kitten still cradled in her arms, she bent down and picked up a shimmering earring that lay on the ground.
Yelena possessed a sharp, photographic memory, allowing her to recall nearly every person she had ever encountered.
Yelena’s gaze turned cold, her eyes narrowing as she muttered, “It’s her p>
“Yelena, what’s going on? Your hands are covered in blood p>
Stunned into silence initially, Donna managed to compose herself as she awaited an explanation.
Yelena reassured her mother, saying, “It’s really nothing serious. I came across a kitten that was hurt and took a moment to tend to its wounds p>
Relieved to hear that Yelena was unharmed, Donna’s tension eased. “Are you sure you’re alright p>
Yelena nodded and replied, “Yes, I’m perfectly fine.” She then offered a brief overview of the incident without delving into her deeper suspicions.
