Elsie had been manipulating Kate all along, but now that her goal was achieved, she couldn’t help but laugh coldly.
“Aunt, aren’t you afraid that Ms. Duke will find out about your threats and refuse to mate Preston?”
“Whether she mates Preston or not is none of my concern. I did all of this just to help my son.”
These words only deepened the smile on Elsie’s lips.
“You calculated that I couldn’t compete with a wealthy pack like yours, so you dared to threaten me.”
“Now that you know your place, do as I say–”
After taking a deep breath, Elsie bravely raised her chin as if facing death.
“Fine, if you want to hear me say that he never slept with me, then he never slept with me.”
Satisfied with the result, Kate let go of Elsie’s chin and patted her face.

“Leave that line for Ms. Duke to hear.”

Kate stood up, gracefully accepting the handkerchief handed
to her by the bodyguard, and elegantly wiped her fingers.
“Lock her up for now, clean up her face wounds, and when she’s better, take her to see Ms. Duke.”
“Yes,“”
Preston, who had timed his return, entered the living room.
“Mom, where’s Elsie?”
Kate, with her back to Preston, discreetly threw the
blood–stained handkerchief into the trash can.
“I’ve taken care of it. In three days, she’ll go with us to see Ms. Duke and clear up the truth.”
Upon hearing this, Preston, who had been on edge, suddenly
relaxed.
He knew that even if he got drunk, he would never do something like that. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Thank goodness he hadn’t slept with Elsie, or he would never forgive himself.

Three days later, Elsie was escorted onto a private plane and appeared in front of Harper.
Harper, who was still taking care of Silas, stared blankly at Elsie, who was crying incessantly.
“Harper, that night, after I dropped Preston off at home, I saw you come looking for him. Out of jealousy, I deliberately. staged a scene. In reality… Preston had fallen asleep and knew nothing.”
“When I heard you come in, I quickly used the blanket to block. your view. When you didn’t leave and I was afraid you would come over, I intentionally pinched Preston’s waist. That’s when he screamed in pain…”
After revealing the truth, Elsie raised her tearful eyes and looked at Harper with envy.
“I always thought I was Preston’s first love, and I wanted to start again with him using that identity. But I didn’t expect that his heart only belonged to you. Seeing him suffer because of the misunderstanding I deliberately created, I realized he would never love me again…”
Her words added another layer of authenticity to her explanation.
Feeling confused, Harper glanced at Elsie, who seemed to

have an epiphany, and then at Preston, who looked innocent.
The memory of that night came rushing back, still vivid, but Elsie’s explanation matched the details. For a moment, Harper couldn’t tell if what she saw was real or if Elsie’s words were
true.
As she remained silent, Preston walked up to her, lifted hist hands, and grabbed her shoulders.
When he touched her, Harper instinctively pushed his hands
away.
It seemed that the shadow from that night hadn’t been erased by Elsie’s explanation.
Preston withdrew his hand, frozen in mid–air, and kept a
suitable distance from her.
“Harper, believe me, I really didn’t have a relationship with
her.”
“Preston, I’ve already said what needed to be said. I’ll leave
now. I wish you both happiness.”
After saying this, Elsie left, but before getting into the car, shel turned around and glanced at the two of them.
In the quiet corridor, Preston stared at Harper for a long time

before suddenly pulling out a diamond ring and kneeling in
front of her.
“Harper, I haven’t slept with Elsie, and my mother has agreed
to us being together. Will you accept my proposal?”
Still dressed in her nurse’s uniform, Harper felt a bit overwhelmed by Preston’s proposal in this setting.
“Don’t do this in the hospital…”
She wanted to help Preston up, but he grabbed her hand and forcefully placed the egg–sized diamond ring on her finger.
“I promise you, aside from work–related obligations, from now
on, I won’t attend any social events involving alcohol. Even if it’s a company party, I won’t touch a drop of alcohol.”
After giving his assurance, Preston took out his phone and in front of Harper, left the chat group formed by his playboy
friends, one by one deleting them and even blocking their phone numbers.
After completing all of this, he looked up again at Harper, who
was still in disbelief.
“I promise you, I will leave my previous social circle and have no contact with any women.”
Having said that, Preston held Harper’s hand tightly and
sincerely asked once more.
“Mate me, please?”
