Chapter 673:

Seeing Elyse’s angry expression, Claire smiled mockingly. “Wow. Who taught you this trick of retreating to advance? Your parents? What’s your dad’s name again? Rickey? I heard he was a good-for-nothing fool. Did he put you up to this?”

As soon as Elyse heard Claire insult her father, her face turned grim. She seized Claire by the collar and, locking eyes with her, gritted her teeth. “Who do you think you are to insult my dad? He’s the best in the world. Say anything bad about him again, and I’ll make you regret it.”

Elyse waved her fist in warning before striding out of the store without a backward glance.

For the first time, Claire had been threatened like this, and her heart pounded in her chest. As she regained her composure, she noticed the store employees secretly laughing at her.

She had intended to teach Elyse a lesson for her good friend Thea, but she ended up humiliating herself. Embarrassed, Claire quickly ran out of the store, hoping to find Elyse and confront her, but Elyse was already out of sight.

Looking around and feeling humiliated, Claire stomped her foot angrily. “Damn it! I’m so pissed! Elyse, how dare you threaten me? I won’t let you get away with this.”

When Elyse returned home, she saw Cody playing the violin in the yard. Setting aside her earlier frustration, she rushed over to him and listened intently to his performance.
