Chapter 956:

Hyde narrowed his eyes, a crafty grin spreading across his face. “Do you genuinely believe I am that commendable? Can you prove it to me?”

Mabel, uncertain how to respond, thought about how to please him and timidly agreed, “If it brings you joy, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Hyde’s grin broadened, a glint of malevolence shining in his gaze.

The following day, Elyse arrived at the music hall and was surprised to find Fiona already there.

Momentarily taken aback, Elyse inquired, “Why are you here again?”

Fiona smirked, defiantly pushing her hair back. “What’s the issue with me being here? This isn’t your property. I can visit anytime I like.”

Elyse thought about Fiona’s shamelessness, but before she could respond, Fiona’s expression shifted to excitement as she noticed something. She hurried past Elyse, running with enthusiasm.

Elyse turned to see Fiona leap into Quinn’s arms, her heart sinking in astonishment. Were they a couple now?

Quinn hoisted Fiona and twirled her before setting her down. “Didn’t I ask you to arrive a bit later? It’s still chilly. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

With her cheeks tinted red, Fiona replied softly, “I missed you. I made some bread. Please try it.”

Quinn touched his nose awkwardly, chuckling. “Well, I suppose I can’t decline. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet.”

Fiona beamed as she led Quinn to enjoy the breakfast she had prepared. Elyse stood on the sidelines, utterly perplexed. Fiona, who had been infatuated with Jayden, was now with Quinn? Hadn’t they just met yesterday? How could they be a couple in a single day?

Elyse watched them incredulously, her gaze fixed on the two as if trying to decipher their connection. They were acting like love-struck doves, sharing bread and completely engrossed in their new affection.

As others began to filter into the rehearsal space, they too struggled to make sense of the scene. Edward approached Elyse with curiosity, asking, “When did those two become an item?”

“I’m not sure. Why don’t you ask them yourself?” Elyse replied calmly as she unpacked her violin case.

Around ten minutes later, Elyse came to terms with the situation. Regardless of why Fiona was with Quinn, it was irrelevant to her. . . .
