Chapter 204: Hidden Pressures

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

“It turned out to be Chairman Harrison.” Marcus smiled faintly, his golden eyes glearning with calculated

charm. “What a coincidence, right next door.”

Chairman Harrison also smiled, though tension remained in his shoulders. “It is quite a coincidence.”

Mrs. Harrison’s voice carried a gentle but probing tone. “Jane, why didn’t you mention your appointment with
